    So much for “hiatus”…. Now is also banning personnel from from a new consumer show … quite the F.U. for the talented, hard-working folks who worked on the Tube. Working on the only consumer show on TV for 6 series disqualifies you from consumer show ???

    I miss . (Bring it back !) Taught me to be a smarter shopper. I researched today. The ingredient in throat lozenges that you want is benzy, an anaesthetic. So I bought Difflam Plus. Screw Soothers & Butter Menthols - you need the stuff that actually works.

    So Michelle Guthrie pocketed $1.64m when she was deservedly sacked as ABC MD ... could have made a lot of content for that sort of cash.

    How about a consumer affairs show that's short and witty but also well researched and accurate with a clever and diverse cast. (Sorry, I just really want The Checkout back).
