The team also go behind the scenes at the testing centre that determines which goods should receive one of the country's best-known endorsements. But is it being exploited by companies that don't deserve it? Plus tips on protecting your mobile phone, and why the competition to win impressive-sounding awards may not always have been quite as fierce as you might have assumed.
