Where is the "shame" in BBC's Claimed and Shamed?? The fraudsters aren't named. Their faces are blurred out. Their voices are disguised. And on the rare occasion that the police get involved and prosecute the fraudsters it almost always ends up with a suspended sentence which of course means a complete let off!!!!!

Massive yawnfest where no one, ever, gets shamed. Constant get-excited-music and drumrolls over insurance reps droning on as if talking about their stamp collection. Suspenseful photo montages of pictures of "crashes" that involve a bike's tyre ever so slightly touching a car's bumper... reenactments done by "actors" who I'm sure are just the producer's mates and family members to keep costs down. At this point I have to write another 170 characters to meet the minimum requirements for posting a review so since there's nothing left to say I'll just finish by saying the whole thing is on par with a school project... you know, like those papier mache volcanos you see films.
why this????

The bbc sink to new lows in finding banal uninteresting crimes to make programmes about for the less discriminating among us to salivate over.... I would have thought Naga Munchetty was better than this. As if this isn't enough they are now turning their ever decreasing creativity to the likes of the day to day lives of the police - so presumably they wont be critical of them any time soon because they now lack objectivity. Cheap thrills
Absolutely brilliant

I absolutely love this programme!
I always find it so interesting when people are trying to claim but get caught out because the claims are fraudulent Naga Munchetty is a perfect host Also love watching the old episodes This show brings me so much joy, particularly when people are caught out for lying It also helps us to understand how insurance works and we think twice about making a claim I find it difficult to understand these things due to being autistic.
Will give every episode 9-10 stars The insurance companies also explain about common fraud type like crash for cash, the insurance fraud register and other specific terms
Will continue to watch this program I hope they keep making episodes I love it!!!

Its about time the insurance companies were investigated

Some years ago my daughter was injured by a "Wicksted" machine. The unit was in the light of my photos to be inspected by a separate investigator. We managed to get hold of maintenance reports and the reports had been forged, using for example a bank holiday as the date the machine had been maintained etc. However the day before the inspection was to take place in collusion with Zurich insurance, Diss council and the maintenance firm totally destroyed the machine and took all the part to a scrap yard where they were crushed at the request of the maintenance company. I knew the scrap yard and they confirmed this.
So do not get too upset with poor insurance companies getting scammed, my daughter now has a pin in her ankle and her visions of joining the Army as an officer dashed. Not from what our solicitor told us, was this the first time Zurich had played this game!

Reconstruction anyone ??

This programme simply gets worse as it progresses (sic).....EVERY case involved-where there is no CCTV/Phone etc footage-has the word RECONSTRUCTION popping up every 5 seconds,yes we ALL know they are reconstructions,why does the beeb insist on this Nanny State B.S.all the time ??
Unclaimed shame....

A mindless and characterless TV production, fronted by Naga Munchetty (who you would expect better from), which appeals to the lowest common denominator in society. Generic stories of insurance fraud are recounted through poor reconstructions and most of the key details are glazed over and there's never any input from the defendant. Indeed the whole story could be an invention for all we know. It's the same format everytime, insurance company x says y happened and take our word for it this was terrible, then a cutaway to a ridiculous reconstruction and then we get told an outcome. We never see the unsuccessful prosecutions or any other variation. It's a depressingly unentertaining TV show.
