Roger's lucky he didn't stumble into Southern Investigations dodgy dealings, which ultimately may have lead to the death of private investigator Daniel Morgan.
Have you got the episode where he's in Northern Ireland, dealing with the Campbells? There's a clip here on UA-cam, but Id like to see the whole episode.
I'm trying to find a report that Roger cook did about a clocked car I've been told the program was called for what it's worth & it was a mitsubishi car
What's that really weird expression he does at 10:13 - like something surprised him. He's a really odd guy. Still doing the investigations too under a company called Blacksand Investigations
I think he is now retired however he did do lectures at university for journalism courses about 10 years ago. He still has 24/7 private security. His autobiography is a very good read. He wrote almost a whole chapter on the Triads.
What utter shite, they paid a private detective agency to privately detect. What's the scam?? Scaping the bottom of the barrel with this one. Still better than anything on TV today
DODGY ! How the ITV Conveniently left out the word PRIVATE in the title of this episode ! and Incidentally INDEPENDANT INVESTIGATIONS ! as of 2023 is still around ! .

This is real hard nail journalism. Love when Cook walks in and nails them. They don’t make them like that anymore
Best reporter going no fear and a very big pair of balls
I was just going to say .this bloke is the best journalist with big balls
Roger is the man.
the cook report, i discovered it yesterday and today i'm already hooked, great stuff
Me too. Are we just 20 years behind or have these just started doing the rounds on YT?

First discovered the hot dog wars episode and thought it was, and a piss take for a good 10 mins 🤣🤣
my brother bought a car from brewer years ago it was a lemon i think roger cook would of exposed brewer for selling lemons (cars).
Roger the man 👍. BRILLIANT 😀
Amazing reporting!!!
The 4 words any crook does Not want to Hear: "Roger Cook, Central Television!" Classic!
Or “pass me the soap”
Roger Cook got some balls great video
I can't hear Roger confront someone now without thinking about a succulent chinese meal.
Lots of work went into making these programmes. Roger was the best at this - bar none.
I remember this in the 1980's, I loved this show!
That's impressive - it was filmed in 1997!

Where’s the cook report episode that involved Ben fellows??
No fear investigative journalist ahead of his time.
I remember the old BT logo
Even if they're despicable crooks, my heart sinks when Mr Cook bursts into a room saying "gotcha" like that. Just imagine their chagrin...
That's the best bit!

Roger has to be wheeler dealers da!
Wonder how many cut n shuts Mike sold
"We don't f*** about" hmm, err, OK I'm sold 😂
Roger should have done one on piers Morgan's phone tapping.
