Conning The Conmen
BBC Three’s Conning the Conmen was on late on Thursday night, and a pre-watershed version will be shown on Wednesday at 2030.
Strengths
- General Concept - revenge, even if only on a representative of the people we dislike, is bound to appeal to many.
- Becca - Her first work in front of the camera is impressive - real acting talent to stay in character, and a natural presenting style too.
Weaknesses
- The white guy presenter (Dan) simply has an irritating voice, and a strange personality tbh - seemed like he was straining to be more interesting (TeleVisually) than he really is…
Opportunities
- Restrain the energy a little, make the programme a touch more serious, and I think the show could do well.
Threats
- It can’t be ignored that there are some similar programmes out there. First to mind is Rogue Traders though perhaps they have a more limited ‘victim’ list due to their choice of title.
