As Watchdog enters a new era MARION MCMULLEN looks back at its 40 years of protecting consumers
-
FLAMMABLE seat covers and sewage polluting the water of Britain's bathing beaches were among the topics featured on the first episode of Watchdog 40 years ago.
The BBC consumer programme began life as a strand on news round-up Nationwide and was presented by Hugh Scully.
It proved so popular that it was developed as a stand-alone programme, launching on July 14, 1985 with Nick Ross as the presenter and Lynn Faulds Wood as the consumer champion. The first episode also featured an awards ceremony for the least-trusted professions.

COMFORTABLY NOM, NOM, NOM
When it’s cold outside, I crave proper comfort food, so this week I'm cooking dishes to bring a little warmth and joy. Think rich one-tray dinners, hearty pies and slowly simmered dishes that fill the house with good smells and make the dark evenings feel brighter. These are recipes you don’t want to rush, perfect for settling in after a long day. Add a cosy pudding and you've got all you need for the week ahead.
