Bbc

I note the BBC have come up with another consumer programme - Fake Britain - presented by ' younger ' people .

Have they abandoned the programme ' rip off britain ' which was presented by 'older folk' - i.e. Angela Rippon , Julia Somerville and that other lady ( cant remember her name) .

Can the BBC be accused of agesism ( if indeed rip of britain is not due to be screened again ) ?

Well, some programmes are going to be presented by "younger" and some by "older" people. 'Twas ever thus. So "ageism" doesn't come into it.

[Bazile]

yes - but both shows are more or less the same thing - so why change presenters , when they have not been on the air for long ?

Fake Britain first aired quite some time ago.
