The Cook Report was a British ITV current affairs television programme presented by Roger Cook which was broadcast from 22 July 1987 to 24 August 1999.[1] The series featured Cook investigating corruption, criminals, government social policy failures, and unmasking coverups due to incompetence, negligence and dishonesty. All sixteen series were produced for ITV by Central Television.[2][3][4] The series was well known for Cook's reporting style where he would present those being investigated with the evidence that the show had collected; often this would result in Cook being attacked by those he confronted.[5][6][7]
