Advantages: Great entertainment and advice

Disadvantages: None

The real hustle is a show that was developed by Paul Wilson and Alex Conran which demonstrates how criminals get your cash through distraction scams, confidence tricks and proposition bets. The real hustle was made as a spin off show of Hustle (a drama about a group of long con artists). Conran and Wilson joined by Jessica Clement make up the real hustle team and they perform these cons on unsuspecting members of the public masquerading as Ian Steele (Conran), Rob Marks (Wilson) and Sue Windle (Clement). The real hustle is now on its sixth series and has included series names like High stakes and real hustle: Las Vegas. Also the real hustle had a Christmas special called the 12 scams of Christmas which focused on the scams that are more prevalent during this time. As well as being an entertaining show they give valuable advice on how the cons work and how not to get caught up in a con. I like the show and sometimes like to try the proposition bets on friends and I like the fact they do give the public advice on such cons as some of these cons jointly cost the public millions.

Summary: Great entertainment value
