Jeremy Vine, speaking on Panorama (23 April 2007) said "Television has been home to some great exposés, many of them on this programme, but now broadcasters are getting a taste of their own medicine ...." The programme was about television competitions where viewers phone in with answers, and it was a very thorough investigation into impropriety in the television industry, including the BBC itself.

Janine Gibson, Editor-in-Chief of Media Guardian, giving her views about the mistakes made by Blue Peter said "... Clearly what happened was just a catalogue of really unfortunate incidences. But what it does show you is how far a sort of culture of disrespect to the viewer has come - that nobody's first priority any more is doing something that's fair and right and proper to the viewer...."
