Out of all the memorable reports the investigative series has highlighted some are very notable ; including reports from Afghanistan in “Beneath the Veil” a report by Saira Shah; another is “Inside Britain’s Mosques”, “Undercover Police Officer”, “Undercover Teacher”, and many others that have gone undercover to whistle blow on large retail or corporate practices, and has even gone undercover and provided investigative journalism that exposed a ‘cash for lobbying’ by Members of Parliament in the UK.
Below are two episodes from the award winning series one featuring a report on private housing in the UK called “Landlords From Hell” and more recently an investigation into the alleged private deal between the US and UK over the NHS services called “Trump’s Vision for the NHS”
