Watchdog (BBC 1) has taken a leaf out of Crimewatch's book. When the show returns in September, punters will be able to phone in live 'giving instant feedback and helping expose rip-offs and scams'. Items planned for the first programme in the new series include the safety of bouncy castles and VAT on school uniforms. Your thoughts can be contributed on 071-743 5555 after 7.30pm on the day of transmission or by post to BBC Watchdog, PO Box 5555, London W12 6WD
