X-Ray - Series 10 - Episode 4

An invitation to a presentation about fine porcelain in a swanky hotel sounds like an entertaining day out. But the last thing Pamela and Derek Sutton from Abertillery and Marianne and Derrick Shadrach from Swansea expected was that they'd end up buying what they believed to be a hand painted dinner set worth thousands of pounds. Both couples found themselves pressured into making purchases they didn't want or need, and were left out of pocket as a result. X-Ray's reporter, Rachel Treadaway-Williams investigates the sales methods used by a company currently targeting consumers in South Wales. Stories of Survival features Kirsch Bowker, who was out mountain walking with a friend who broke her ankle. Kirsch admits that when the accident happened, she panicked. Lucy meets Chris Lloyd from the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team who has some great advice on how to equip yourself safely for a mountain walk, and what to do if the worst happens. Lucy also meets a unique group offering a very special consumer service. The Federation of Independent Detectorists offers to track down your lost treasure for free - as long as it's made of metal, of course! The UK wide service is run from Colin Hanson's home in Swansea. Colin's happy to put anyone who's lost something important in touch with a metal detectorist who lives nearby. One person who's grateful to the service is farmer David Oliver, who used the detectorists to find a part that went missing from his tractor.
