Series 16: 8. The phone, the thief and the worthless insurance
Julia Somerville, Gloria Hunniford and Angela Rippon investigate how one tech giant’s phone theft cover has a killer exclusion that means it’ll only pay out if the phone can be tracked – leaving customers footing the bill for a replacement handset. Also, the once-loved catalogue retailer whose loyal fans are fuming. And the new proposals that could finally spell the end for cold calls.
