Rogue Traders (television)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rogue Traders is a BBC One consumer television show starring Matt Allwright and Dan Penteado. Rogue Traders began in 2001 and is currently in its fifth series on BBC One.
The pair secretly film unscrupulous tradesmen and then use their evidence to confront them at the end of the programme. They usually use an honest tradesman to provide expert knowledge.
Allwright and Penteado use a Honda Super Blackbird motorcycle to travel from one place to another, and they are usually wearing biking leathers throughout the half-hour programme.
In the fourth series, Allwright upped the stakes by being made up as a seventy-year old man, Roger. He therefore fooled the "rogues" that he was Roger for some time before revealing his true identity.
In the fifth series, Matt Allwright has gone one step further and now has a choice of three disguises. He can either be made into 22 year-old Joe, middle aged eco-warrior Bob, or the elderly Stan.
