Fixing results on a TV quiz and conning millions of pounds out of the naive general public has got to be a criminal offense.
Arrest and charge those responsible.
If they had robbed a bank they would be doing at least 10 years in prison!
Robbie Williams can organize the prison Christmas play.

I will never understand why the people who veiw these trach shows spend their hard earned money phoning into something they must know is a con. It's been proved time and time again that most of the money goe's the TV companies way.

A fool and his money.....
It`s become a comedy of errors that so many stupid people are still actually phoning to these type of programmes, you have to laugh at these thousands of brainless folk that still do it..... after all the past troubles of phone in fraud that have been exposed.
Some people just never learn..........and deserve to lose their money.
Presumably though views of these shoes must get some sort of entertainment value from them otherwise they would not be so popular.
It seems Ant & Dek were the producers of some of their shows, so must take the blame as well
Have you thought about Catherine Tate, how does she feel, is she likely to think, "How very dare they" or is she not "bovvered"
It also shows the morale low standard of TV programmes that are put out as entertainment foder..... sadly the the under 25s haven`t really known any better and have been brought up on it.
Those of us that have had the quality programes of the past did not need this multi channel rubbish and to make an idea of a mainstream phone in programme in a quest to rip off the public........ and the public actually go along with it ....how sad are they...?......why not make it £2 a call and really rip them off........
We all know its rip off UK, but these people that phone in must actually love being ripped of, after paying to watch the programme in the first place via a license..........
These are just money generation programmes to boost profits, and I would expect have little interest to the majority of us as entertainment.

Yes, but I still cannot understand why those responsible for these obvious frauds are not arrested.
Do the authorities not realize that to omit to do so, will open the door for further abuse of the publics trust.
Are we building a criminal society that is accepted here?
This is one of reasons I no longer have a TV - I gave it away in 2000. At least I don't have to pay an exhorbitant licence fee just to have the TV switched off most of the time.
I don't know which TV channel Ant and Dec are on but the BBC stopped doing competitions some time ago due to a similar problem. On BBC Local Radio we cannot even phone into the usual 0845 type phone-in number to win something like a cheap pen/coaster/presenter's photo (even if we wished to) yet this problem is still happening on TV programmes.
