BBC's The Real Hustle 'deceived viewers': Actors 'were hired to be members of the public'
The Real Hustle (TV Series –) - IMDb
The show premiered on 24 February , and ran for eight series, with its final episode aired on 17 February The show's most notable qualities are plots that involve behind-the-scenes action that the viewers are unaware of until near the end of an episode, along with fantasy scenes and occasional breaches of the fourth wall by the main actors. The show received favourable reviews from critics, and averaged around 6 million viewers within each series. For each mark, the team focuses on background research to uncover any issues they may face as well as a weakness in them that they can exploit, such as a passion for something they love, or an issue they are facing. Once they have a plan, the team set up a scenario, employ a "convincer" to rope in their mark, and then hit them with the sting in which they take them for a sizeable amount of cash, within the tens of thousands, before conducting a "blow-off" to ensure the mark will not come after them, either because they won't if they have to admit to conducting something illegal, or because the team have convinced them it will be impossible to do so. In one such example, the first half of the third series features a sub-plot in that the team manage to pull off some long cons despite nearly suffering misfortune, which they later resolve after one of the characters determines what was causing them to suffer such bad luck.
The Real Hustle episodes banned over 'fake' scam victims
The BBC has been told never to repeat a number of episodes of The Real Hustle, following an internal investigation into allegations that paid extras were hired to pose as victims of scams found that there was a "lack of clarity and precision" in the making of the show. A BBC Trust investigation was launched in February following reports in the Sunday Mirror and the Mail on Sunday that actors had appeared in episodes broadcast between and and had faked being normal members of the public taken in by a con. The trust inquiry concluded that the show had not seriously breached BBC editorial guidelines. However, it did breach a guideline on accuracy because of the confusion in knowing "who was being fooled and who was in on the con" is a number of scams.
