The Cook Report was a British current affairs television programme, produced by Central Independent Television for ITV. It was presented by Roger Cook which was broadcast from 22 July 1987 to 24 August 1999, running for sixteen series. The series featured Cook investigating corruption, criminals, government social policy failures, and unmasking coverups due to incompetence, negligence and dishonesty. 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.
