== ''Esther Rantzen's House Trap'' and ''Do The Right Thing'' == In October 2018, it was announced that a consumer show, ''Do The Right Thing'' would air on [[Channel 5 (British TV channel)|Channel 5]], with Rantzen presenting alongside [[Eamonn Holmes]] and [[Ruth Langsford]]. Another Channel 5 consumer programme, ''Esther Rantzen's House Trap'' was a production more in keeping with the format of the BBC's long-running ''[[Watchdog (TV programme)|Watchdog]]'' programme, with hidden cameras trying to trap rogue traders in the homes of a number of undercover actors. Unlike ''Watchdog'', these actors were all people of an advanced age with each episode focusing on a different trade, such as locksmiths, where older people were likely to being preyed upon.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.channel5.com/show/esther-rantzen-s-house-trap/season-1/rogue-locksmiths|title = My5}}</ref> ''Esther Rantzen's House Trap'' was a four-part series produced by Karen Plumb and Grant Mansfield at Plimsoll Productions<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://plimsollproductions.com/|title=Home|website=Plimsoll Productions}}</ref> for Channel 5, who commissioned the show alongside other consumer-focused shows such as ''Shop Smart Save Money'' and ''Do the Right Thing''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.magnifymedia.co.uk/news/11112/exclusive-c5-readies-esther-rantzens-house-trap-from-plimsoll|title = Exclusive: C5 readies "Esther Rantzen's House Trap" from Plimsoll}}</ref>
