| 20030808 | 20030810 | John Waite investigates how people who bought property on the south coast discovered their locks had been changed and their investment had effectively disappeared. Should more be done to protect such property owners from smart and unscrupulous landlords? | |||
| 20030815 | 20030817 | John Waite investigates a new heart valve that has been linked to a number of deaths and medical complications among patients in which it was fitted, and which critics claim was introduced on the UK market before it had been adequately tested. He hears from some of those affected and presses the company and the government on why warnings about the valve appeared to have gone unheeded for so long. | |||
| English Language Schools | 20030822 | 20030824 | John Waite investigates the largely unregulated world of English language schools in the UK and finds a billion pound industry in which unscrupulous businessmen are left free to exploit students and staff alike in the search for an easy profit. | ||
| Dying Because Of Making Nuclear Warheads | 20030829 | 20030831 | John Waite investigates the plight of men who helped make Britain's nuclear warheads and many of whom are now dying in silence because of the jobs they did. [Rpt of Fri 12.30pm] | ||
| 20040829 | John Waite and his team of investigators follow up listeners' complaints. | ||||
| 20050722 | 20050724 | John Waite investigates the global battle being waged over precious water sources and the companies seeking to exploit them. He travels to Brazil to look at the effect on a beautiful spa resort after Nestlé decided to produce a bottled water in the area. | |||
| Vioxx | 20050729 | 20050731 | John Waite investigates the anti-arthritis drug Vioxx, which was hailed as a breakthrough in pain relief but had to be withdrawn because of concerns about side effects. | ||
| 20050805 | 20050807 | 12 years ago Face the Facts investigated a businessman accused of, amongst other things, stealing Rolls Royces and setting up a bogus international air ambulance service which left a London NHS Hospital £400,000 out of pocket. After serving time for fraud he's back in business - running a funeral parlour with an unusual sideline - private ambulance work. The outcomes for those who do business with him are all too predictable. | |||
| 20050814 | Face the Facts investigates an explosion in a Scottish plastics factory and the death of nine workers. John Waite reveals allegations of official complacency about conditions at the site, which was labelled by one insider as a disaster waiting to happen. The explosion in the Glasgow plant was the worst industrial accident in Scotland since Piper Alpha and left 40 workers seriously injured. To this day they and relatives of those who died, say they have had no justice. John Waite reveals how before the explosion, workers had reported concerns about conditions at the plant to managers and subsequently to Health and Safety officials. According to some, the warnings went largely unheeded. | ||||
| 20050819 | 20050821 | In one year, south Lincolnshire police investigated two murders and an organised heroin ring. But in each case millions of pounds worth of taxpayers' money was wasted as the prosecutions collapsed, not through lack of evidence, but because of police wrong-doing. Face the Facts looks at the world of covert surveillance and what went wrong. | |||
| 20050826 | 20050828 | John Waite investigates the four privately run institutions set up to deal with offenders - some of whom are as young as twelve. Concerns have been raised about Secure Training Centres since they first opened in 1998. Back then there were reports of high staff turnover, children out of control and overuse of physical restraint. How much has changed? | |||
| Return Of The Lump | 20060721 | 20060723 | Thousands of eastern Europeans are working in Britain's building trade, many being paid cash-in-hand, which means they don't qualify for pensions or benefits. It's a phenomenon which has echoes of the 1950s and 1960s when tens of thousands of Irish workers did exactly the same. While some made their fortune, others are the Lost Generation - living out their old age in inadequate bedsits, if they have a home at all. John Waite investigates. | ||

| 20060804 | 20060806 | John Waite goes to the north east coast of Scotland where there are concerns that dredging of the harbour is leading to rapid erosion of a nearby beach. Many conclude that there is too little regulation of dredging in UK ports. | |||
| 20060811 | 20060813 | A probe into the collapse of a property company which left small businesses, landlords and some of Britain's largest pension funds with losses running into millions of pounds.

| 20060825 | 20060827 | John Waite investigates allegations of serious failings in the care of older people at homes run by one of Britain's biggest care home providers. | |||

| 20070727 | 20070729, RptofFri12.30pm | John Waite reveals how some of the most serious workplace injuries are not being investigated. | |||

Mounting pressure has forced the Government to review whether they should be offered asylum in Britain. | ||||
| Trouble In Paradise | 20080720 | British property owners in Goa fear they may lose their homes in a backlash against foreign investment in the Indian state. | |||
| Bye Buy-to-let | 20080727 | He reports on a property club apparently set up to support buy-to-let investors, which now stands accused of selling over-valued properties that could never attract the rental income promised. | |||
| The Promised Land | 20080803 | John investigates the business of selling small plots of land to investors with the promise of a return of 400 per cent on their outlay. The scheme assumes the land will one day get planning permission, but instead thousands of people are left with a ridiculously expensive picnic site. Financial regulators are trying to crack down on the practice. | |||
| Illegal Disclosure? | 20080810 | The Criminal Records Bureau exists solely to help protect children or vulnerable adults from workers who may pose a risk to them. But John meets some job candidates who claim to have suffered discrimination when potential employers use criminal record checks to obtain information to which they have no right of access. | |||
| The Dyslexia Dilemma | 20080817 | He investigates a controversial treatment that claims to have helped tens of thousands of people with learning difficulties.

One weekend in April 2000, twenty year old Allan Sharples visited his family and fiancee before returning laughing and joking back to the army life he loved at Catterick Barracks. Within twenty-four hours he was dead, apparently having shot himself. The post mortem said he had finished with his girlfriend, an assertion which Sharples' fiancee strenuously denies. | |

Army Deaths John Waite exposes the hidden death toll and the reasons behind it at Europe's largest army barracks in Catterick, North Yorkshire.

One weekend in April 2000, twenty year old Allan Sharples visited his family and fiancee before returning laughing and joking back to the Army life he loved at Catterick Barracks.
