This was the first programme I have watched - great, realistic advice - thought it would be good to do some follow-ups in a year or so to see how they are doing ... are there any plans for this? Also it would be good if they were repeated in the evenings so those of us who are busy during the day can watch them ...

Lovely family, really enjoyed being able to sit and watch this one live today.

Tracy, if you are reading this head to the Telephone Boards and let us know how you are getting on reducing your telephony bills

Can't believe I missed Martin again! Was dragged out to the sales by the other half.

Can't say I was surprised Powergen messed her around.

I have to say that this programme took on a bit of a different look to the others, and to me seemed better.

It was also the first one for me where the person it involved generally was upset over the situation.

Someone on £21k a year with 2 kids is the sort of person Martin should help, not some 'high and mighty' couple on £50k plus.

First programme I've watched too... because of timing and because looking at the synopsis of previous programmes I didn't feel I could relate to any of the families featured!

I felt so sorry for Tracey when she realised how much she over-spent! I agree with Daveboy, people like her are the kind of persons that Martin should help as it is so difficult to live on 20k a year with kids particularly teenagers!

It doesn't matter the amount of money you have coming in or if you live in a bedsit, flat, 2 up 2 down or a mansion house the same rules apply. DON'T GET RIPPED OFF by big companies.

We can all make savings.

Enough said, hope you all had a good Christmas we did, and we didn't over spend.

Oh well, lets start getting presants for next Christmas. hehehehehe :snow_laug
