The Checkout - Series Two (DVD, 2014, 2-Disc) Region 4.


The Checkout features segments that examine the practices and methods of manufacturers, retailers, service providers and advertisers. Using a humorous style, the show highlights practices that are misleading, dishonest, unfair or occasionally even illegal or unethical. Often segments will target types of services or products rather than individual brands or companies. Examples include a segment on overpriced Wi-Fi services offered in certain hotels,[8] the lack of scientific proof for the health benefits claimed by manufacturers of complementary medicines,[9][10] and the concept of peer-to-peer lending.[11]

Some segments take aim at specific brands and companies. One example was directed at Cadbury and their Joyville campaign which promoted a 10% increase (from 200gm to 220gm) in the size of the family blocks of chocolate which The Checkout portrayed as ironic given that Cadbury had previously reduced the blocks by 20% from 250gm to 200gm.[12] Another was on Anaconda Mountain Bikes which are sold as such but are actually built for road-use only.[13]

The show also includes the segment 'F U Tube' that allow viewers to upload their own queries or complaints about goods or services they have purchased. The program is associated with Choice magazine
