Premise[]
The show aims to help save and make consumers money. Money saving tips have ranged from claiming back old bank charges, something Lewis has campaigned for to completing surveys on the internet to make some extra cash. Lewis often states he wants consumers to take revenge on corporations to claim back money rightfully theirs.
Format[]
The show comprised four parts.
For example, rising domestic energy prices prompted a challenge for members of the audience to see how much they could reduce their bills by switching to a different company. This is ongoing throughout the show; the results are revealed at the end of the show. | |
At the end, he provides a figure he could save them if they followed his advice (apart from the first show where he indicated how much money they were throwing down the drain). | |
It has featured the highest interest rate paying savings account, information about the ongoing legal battle on bank charges and fuel prices. |
