Watchdog began life as a strand of Nationwide, but proved so popular that on 14 July 1985 it became a stand-alone programme, fighting for the rights of viewers. The presenter on the new programme was Nick Ross, with Lynne Faulds Wood as consumer champion. The first episode featured graphically illustrated stories on flammable seat covers and on sewage polluting the water of Britain's bathing beaches, as well as an awards ceremony for the least trusted professions.
