The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

StairliftsI wrote the TV ads for Acorn stairlifts. In one ad, a dog is sleeping on the lift and 'granddad' presses the remote control to send the dog downstairs. It doesn't wake up.
In reality, the stairlift makes a piercing beeping noise every time it moves, so no living animal could remain asleep during its movement.
And the old guy is a doctor in real life who has retired and taken up acting.
