Episodes
TV Aerials
Esther sets her sights on an unscrupulous company who have been charging through the nose for unnecessary work on rooftop aerials. Esther needs an undercover reporter to film the rogues at work, and daredevil Betty, who took up wing walking at the age of 86, is more than qualified.

Esther hears from some people who have been conned by salesmen offering pointless roofing products, and she goes after a bodger builder from Essex who has left a string of unhappy customers with leaky roofs.
Suckers Lists
Scammers keep lists of the names of over-60s who have fallen for scams in the past, seeing them as prime targets for more conmen. Esther uncovers some horrific cases.
Rogue Locksmiths
Security is a #1 priority for older people, but it is an unregulated industry, which means that anyone can call themselves a locksmith and arrive at your door in minutes, even if they've just come out of prison.
