Always loved Matt doing Rogue Trader's, funny but with a purpose.....should bring it back!
I have no clue why he is not doing it as a standalone programme. It would be brilliant.
The bosses canned it because of lawsuits. People featured on the show were sending lawyer threats to cease and desist saying their segments were heavily edited to make them look bad and did not tell the full story. They also weren't happy with the level of danger the team and the conmen were put in, like blocking their cars and making them drive erratically or run into traffic. They thought it was just not worth risking a death or serious injury, that would mean losing their jobs and millions in wrongful death suits.
absolute brick im sure this guy lives by me and he got run out the town a couple of years ago. good job well done BBC Rogue Traders
I would imagine for being a slimy conman who preyed on 5elderly
Doubt - news source please?

Why will it be in the news you moron?
@@AssyMcgeeee why are you not at work?
@@johnsmith-wx5fb why arent you?
Sorry the TV aerial isn't working we recommend knocking down the house and rebuilding it, new health and and safety legislation you see.
lol
500,000 grand should cover the job, I'm afraid we only accept cash, and would need the balance to be paid in full before we can get to work... 😉
All without any health and safety equipment and protection. Everything will be just fine.
😀😀
why am i addicted to these hidden camera exposure shows ? :/
I think he was actually trying to hit her for more work when they busted him. Despicable
100 % correct, no doubt he was going to 'show her something' on the roof that needed 'fixing'
yea i thought that the old lady should have let it play out, what a scumbag
@@captainchaos2671 The trader needs shooting, but I do not agree with you calling the old lady a scumbag.
@@MrDickBills she was though. She should have let the scene play out. Instead she deprived millions of viewers of wholesome family entertainment. Scumbag move.
"Red Bullshit merchant" That is THE best quote I've heard all week.
you need to enlarge your circle of friends
My God! £645 quid instead of the original charge of just £30. Keith, my lad, how's that possible? In all conscience now, come on, it's bad enough to do this to anybody but an elderly person? You are beneath contempt.
ICURN SO I think you’re on space cakes to reply to a 3 year old comment haha
He probably only preys elderly people because younger people see through his bullshit.

Keith…..come and try to do this to my elderly dad!!!!!!!!!! And I’ll be there too
"Seems like er, it gave him wings"
ahhhh love a good comedic sting by Matt. this one was well thought through. Tbh i could watch Rogue traders all day and... oh, oh dear.... i just have
8:50 That reaction when he heard him say "Hello Keith, Matt Alwright Rogue Traders" on the TV lol. He was thinking "Is he talking about me" and then his face dropped, LMFAO Muppet!
I LOVE this program. I'm an electrician by trade and the way I see it - tradesmen can earn a perfectly decent honest living and become very successful. Its wankers like these that let us down and give us all a bad name
I don't give a fuck who you are. All you fuckers are scummy
When I moved into my house in Maidstone 12 years ago, the previous owners had been exclusively using cable TV but we wanted to go back to the good old fashioned aerial. Digital was just becoming important at the time (the analogue signal still worked at that point) so I went to a local TV shop that specialises in fitting aerials, to find out what I needed to do so we'd be digital-ready. Even without coming round and looking at it, they told me the signal is weak in our area and that we'd need a 'digital cable' and aerial installed, cost £100. What to do? I went to B&Q, bought the biggest aerial booster they had which was about £20 and ran two televisions off the old cable and aerial system (one in the living room, one in our bedroom). It's worked perfectly ever since. Fitting aerials is just like so many other trades - most practitioners don't go to anything like the lengths of these guys to rip you off, but they will find ways of upsizing the job to take more cash off you.
As an aerial installer i can tell you there is no such thing as a digital aerial, any aerial as long as it's in good condition, correctly installed can receive both analogue (gone now) or digital signals just as well.
It was a big selling point when digital TV came along that you needed a digital aerial which was pure rubbish!
@@christopherhulse8385 Thanks for adding to my comment, this is the sort of thing people need to know.
That closing line was amazing 😍🤣🤣😭😭😭
This scene is too close to home for me. A good two hour walk from my house.
8:52 Look how his smile turns to a frown
9:19 Get Outta Ma Way!
The great thing is, over 90,000 people have seen this con man.
you mean over 100,000
you mean over 158,000 :D - And that includes me!
Err well fair more people saw this con man than watched the youtube vid this was a pretty big show in the UK millions saw the guy
Nearly a million now 🤦🏻♂️😂
Over 1 Million, plus all the people who watched it on watchdog when it was aired.
"Seems like it gave him wings" - Class comment Matt!
Pretty sure almost plowing someone down with your car door is illegal. Even if someone is stood in your way, you can’t just use your car to force them out of the way. Keith is very lucky he didn’t knock him down.
I re installed one of his victims weeks before this episode was broadcast, so I rang the customers whilst the program was on to ask if the man on the program was the one who 'did' them because they had exactly the same trick as this played on them. When I eventually got through (their line was engaged due to all their friends ringing to tell them to put the telly on) & yes he was the rogue who twisted the old & new coax together & hid it under a roof tile quality! I last saw him in Evington.
Watchdog prevented a possible fire or electric shock as there was a faulty iron model that they featured and it matched what we had. Always been grateful for the show.
A forest - The Cure... Great song, one of my favorite lol
Taking advantage of elderly people, who are known for not being educated in technology is absolutely despicable
I take it he didn't come back for the rest of his money! The TV he extracted from the old lady, will be the TV he sold to his next victim.
AHH man bring back rogue traders pleeaaasssse!
This show is amazing, heroes work
I've seen something like this is real life. A person I had known for over twenty years turned out to be ripping off members of his church. When he was caught, he just ran and kept running. That head down/don't say a word and just run scene bought back some memories.
I'm still confused about how the picture was improved if all they did was replace the TV and antenna without fixing the actual cut cable.
Good point
Probably the only thing I’ll give the bbc credit for
Would have been nice if a few young lads in the community could have straightened out this guy and his son.
yeah, I would gladly volunteer for that kind of a role. Being a victim of it aswell, I was also charged £350 for job that would have actually only cost £50 at most.
Most reality shows are fake and staged, but its refreshing to see one that is actually real.
Breaks my heart that he'd do that to elderly people 😢
To any person its awful. But yes vunrable people is worse. String him up by his balls.
lol @ 'it gave him wings'.
You know we live in a cruel society when people rip of the elderly and it doesn't bother their conscience one bit. How sad.
disgusting. Despicable. Taking advantage of elderly people. Justice should be harder with them.
That was brilliant!
LOL OMG! that line at the end "seems like its given him wings" that made me really lol!!!
"Seems like, it uh...gave him wings." lmfao that was the best!!!!
I would of taken the plug off straight away and done the job properly and said no charge just a cuppa tea and a scone
I would HAVE as well
love this show!
Amazing. Well done.
Matt should have pushed against the car door when he reversed and broke it off XD
Anyone know where I can find this CLOWN I need a word with him
Hugh Jardon HMP
Yeah he's in jail now
Isaac, has he gone back in.
The circus was so much fun and I had to go to the movies and I saw a lot of people who had a lot of fun and I had to go to get a full time job and I then had to go to the store and I then go to the store and I then go to the store.
Lay of the drugs you fucking mong.
8:53 is an absolute classic where his smile turns to fear 😂😂😂
Keith sure does light up slowly, but when he get's it you can see him go by the taillights.
As cunning as a fox, smellier than a rat. How can such people live with themselves? sadly, I bet this kind of thing goes off all the time. hope they got their comeuppance. Scumbags.
How people like him sleep at night knowing he rips his customers dry I'll never know.
At the end it looked like he tried to run him over - Surely if you just wanted to get away you'd drive forwards, moving the door away from him, not backwards and ram him with it!!!
might have been a dead end. perhaps he had to reverse to get out of the estate.
Maybe, but he could've went forwards a bit
@Stew i don't think it's intentionally trying to cause him harm. extremely reckless and negligent yes, but not intentional.
8:50 watch his smile drop when he hears the words BBC rouge traders 😂
Think that was Rogue Traders...
But he's then gonna be reselling that perfectly good TV! Making a few more quid!
ive no idea how matt can keep his cool on this. i would have cracked him one especially after seeing what he did!
Should've given him half the red bull in the car.
Lucozade would have done a better job :-)
That tv still works till this day 2023
Keith mentioned something he'd seen outside on his way in, but the old lady just wanted him to concentrate on what was on the TV. Now we'll never know what Keith had spotted!
I always wished that RT had a more “to catch a predator” vibe where the feds tackle the lowlifes as they try escaping
You’ve destroyed your own business sunshine! Now you have wings, fly off and don’t come back.
When he said "can I point something out to you?" As soon as he came back to get the rest of the money. He was going to try con her again. Unbelievable
I've seen poorly installed cable work and holes drilled into the out side walls that are far to wide for the cable and just left as is. Plus bits of isolation tape used to join two aerial poles together..
Words fail me!
You know they're a reliable company when they try and run you over for asking questions
Despicable 🤦🏻♀️taking advantage of vulnerable people. TwaT
"off down the pub with ur winnings, mine's a double vodka with uhhh" that got me fairdos
9:53 "Seems like, uh, it gave him wings!" Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
calm down
Why did the picture get better without him fixing the output?
They would have done
It's a good job something like this was leaked on TV; this was bound to lead to disaster and spark a few debates.
+Unicysis two aerials got married at the weekend. the wedding was rubbish, but the reception was great!
Of course. I mean, they could feel the electricity in the air. We could tell they had a magnetic attraction.
Smooth
Initially a bright spark of passion, they're together today, so it's a love story that is very much still current.
Very nice lads 😂
I've heard some JACKANORY'S in my time, but Dad and Son really take the BISCUIT !!!
Time to bring out the Lie Detector.
No wonder he legged it El-Quicko. I've never seen such a Quick Exit before on Rogue Traders.
Well Done, Matt - you're aw'wight.
Brilliant !!!
Seriously though imagine going round to somebody's house to complete a job then pouring red bull down a tv socket and on the carpet.. then getting caught on camera doing so..!? what a weird man 😂
Absolutely love matt. This guy is one of the biggest scum bags of all. Surely his family and friends see him scamming an old lady and disown him
156 old woman: I need a new ariel...
Keith: Well seen as though the Red Bull is flooding your Damp Course I will have to put you in a new chimney and Tarmac your drive for £965,456.00
Just one question. The induced fault was snipping the coax at the back of the wall socket. What happened? That original fault was never addressed as it did not appear or shown and a new down lead was not installed, how come that was fixed?
The rougues must have fixed the original problem in the wall plate , as they did leave the signal working. 😄
He should get done for dangerous driving...
and fraud
9:32 That's assault and potentially dangerous driving. FX02 KHD
thank god you got his license plate don't know how they would of got it without you knowing it
+Darren Shut up he is a good citizen
oh no I have been told to shut up but someone that uploads fifa what will I ever do .
You've got a picture of the kkok
I have no pictures of kok dirty boy
That was the funniest reveal yet :D
He didn't give Matt a very good reception did he......I'll get my coat.
At what point did he fix the snipped coax?
Callum Docherty exactly!
I didn't see him do it either. so why was there a picture at all on the TV at the end?
That part most likely didnt make the finalcut of the show.
he probably ran a new wire from the arial
No he didn't do that!
At 9:19 Keith dumps red bull on the car seat.
It looks like it, but the can is unopened.
Whenever I watch these things it amazes me that the aging women who are usually the stooges - clearly intelligent women who know what's going on - can pretend to be so polite and vulnerable to these cowboys.
I’ve 1 of those “handy conifer bins”!
They’re a pain in the arse to empty!
Yeah, ours is a five foot wall that is handy for people's empty cans, easy to empty but annoying to say the least.
How do I book his services?
Love how his son turned the car on for him - well practiced
@largehead,hav u got any info on this china lad,been looking for him for a while
Anyone else notice his car door was open ready to run 🤣
Looking at it the keys were in the ignition aswell.
The rider on the bike got done for claiming housing benefits and dole whilst working for the BBC lol
@Richard Williams yes Richard actually got jailed
Yes that is true, you couldn't make it up, could you
Love this, We moved from Northants to East Kent 20 years ago and the scam shown is endemic. We had our Sky dish re installed but something was not right and there was no signal at the TV end. Sky sent out their "specialists" They quckliy told me that the LNB???was blown on the aerial and it would cost £100 for a new one for cash. I was away when this happened and arrived just as the Sky speciaists were "fitting" a new LNB???? I climbed up onto the flt roof where the antenna was and asked to see what was happening. Alas these stupid buggers tried to bullshit me. There was no new LNA, the old one was there, the Aerial was offset and just neede to be aligned which I did right there. You see, I am a RF and Microwave Ceng, MIEEE. They picked the worng Marine to fuck with. One phone call and they were sacked. These idits should be careful, there is always someone who knows more than they
I've seen something simular. When I was younger my parents got a new house, it was empty so I moved in the day before the actual move date. Each bedroom had a TV point which worked fine. My dad asked someone he knew through work to come and install Sky and asked at time if it would be possible to hook up each bedroom to the main aerial. After the guy finished up configuring the Sky dish he said he could do the additional TV's in the house but will have to do it another time. Afterwhich I noticed the TV I had in my bedroom that worked fine before now didn't. I went in the loft to find he had unplugged all the TV's from the booster. Some people are just fucking cunts.
Andrew, indeeed they are. Greed and ignorance. I love it when we get these "so called" TV engineers and aerial specialists" They always, always try to bullshit! I was a radio ham when I was 13 and have spent my life in RF and Microwave technology so I love to fuck them over with questions. Childish I know but it pulls them up with a big full stop and gives me loads of fun. 1 over 2 pie root LC!!
Equals resonant frequency!
Then the whole train clapped
lordmick roach..Well why is it that you don't know what an LNB is then?
I miss this a program its part of watchdog but it aint the same
He was expecting money until a humain being came out of the very tv that came out of the back of his van 😂😂.
I love how con men always play with the victim card the moment they are caught out, doesn't matter about the vulnerable people they rip off, just as long as they can cry wolf.
I'm convinced that all old women sound like salad fingers
Jeremy Fisher.
I've been watching Rogue Traders for a long time now great program love the concept the only downside is there's a big build they keep us glued to our seats for the ending.in fact they deliberately stop it and go to another story and say we will continue this later on in the program. Then the grand finale comes on.. and when they are confronted they do a runner.they should do a bit more towards the end.. e.g have a broken down car on the escape routes lol and try and keep the Rogues there longer to get more answers out of them
LOOOOOOL . he was trying so hard to close the car door but couldnt !!
Filth, scum vile humans. How DO they sleep at night? I’m fascinated by what most happen in someone’s childhood for them to have no conscience whatsoever when it comes to totally ripping someone off....especially an elderly person too??!! I REALLY hope that karma finds its way to Keith’s front door and does some damage to his life. Waste of space.
ironically one of the presenters of this show (Dan Penteado) was jailed for benefit fraud

What a couple of spineless little low lifes I would of dished out my own sort of " Punishment" to them.
Smacked his bum would you ?
Mate he hammered that civic backward. Thought his door was coming off fr
the brilliant song at 7:00 is "A Forrest"...by the cure
I love how pathetically they hide the branding of the Red Bull can hahaha, British TV does copyright the best
Thats changed now as most tv channels except bbc of course allows product placment. bbc due to license fee which is paid by all tv owners cant allow product placement as the tax ensures fair bbc most of the time. more infor at www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/advice-for-consumers/television/product-placement-on-tv
If anyone know's KIETH then slap his name & address on here
Keith dumbshit
Prison, for the next year or so.
The closure was the best closure i've seen in a long time, fucking spot on!
8:52 - It was at this moment of time that Keith knew.......he f'd up!
😂😂
Full name and addresses should be available for these con men , otherwise they just go into hiding for a few months and re-invent themselves posing as some other kind of professional , well done Rogue Traders
the good news is that this greasy fucker was actually jailed.
Yeah because that's legal 😂 the bbc would be sued into oblivion should any vigilante go to their house
How can you do that to a old woman the dirty scumbags
Wow this is 12 years ago
in 2008 they still used Analog tv signals from antennas and tube TVs?
