Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas introduced the weekly Watchdog special, hosted by Matt Allwright, who gave viewers an insight into the biggest problems affecting consumers.

He began: “If today’s budget didn’t do it then we can help you through it. How to avoid the price rises on trains, broadband and stamps.

“And is your water meter dialling up some big numbers? We find out why. Some Thames Water customers are facing some big bills.”

Some BBC viewers took to X as they all suggested Watchdog should return to the network as a standalone show rather than a segment during The One Show.

The consumer programme was axed in 2020 after 40 years and more than 1,000 episodes and at the time the move was announced by the BBC, they had also scrapped Victoria Derbyshire’s daily current affairs BBC Two programme because of cuts.

@DannyDenay tweeted: “Time for the weekly 5 minute 20 segment of #watchdog… it deserves so much more #theoneshow.”

They added: “Or at least bring back Rogue Traders #theoneshow #watchdog.”

@Festival commented: “Interesting to note the relegation of #WatchDog programme by the #BBC.”

While another claimed the “BBC failed its viewers by relegating #Watchdog @BBCWatchdog to a side bit slot on @BBCTheOneShow.”

Meanwhile, the official BBC Watchdog account tweeted: “Budget savvy tips @Mattallwright shares three pieces of advice to help keep your wallet happy on this week’s #Watchdog!”

Watchdog began as a weekly feature on BBC One’s news magazine programme Nationwide before becoming a standalone series in 1985. It usually runs for two series a year and now feature on BBC’s The One Show in the spring.

Matt and Nikki Fox continue to present the segment, which investigates and exposes the companies, institutions and fraudsters who rip off members of the public.

The One Show airs weekdays on BBC One at 7pm
