Mr Woodward-Fisher, 68, made "fraudulent misrepresentations" when he claimed he did not know of any vermin infestation or of any hidden defect in the property, the hearing was told.

“Documentary films specifically have a responsibility to try to acknowledge all these misrepresentations and systems that have existed.”

The stakes of such misrepresentation extend far beyond bad television.

The group had used fake names to hide their true identities, secured business by misrepresentation, knowingly delivered defective services and persuaded customers to pay substantial deposits for substandard work, according to Trading Standards.

Police can pursue criminality under "fraud by misrepresentation; where the relationship itself is a deceit for financial gain, or, coercive control and financial abuse legislation".
