Picture: ABC Source: news.com.au SHOPPERS are being warned about retail rip-offs in a new consumer-watch TV show. The team behind The Chaser and members of watchdog Choice are taking aim at unfair deals in satirical consumer affairs show, The Checkout. The hit list includes the prices Apple's iTunes charges Aussie music fans compared to those in the US, group-buying deals and products that make you buy now and pay forever. The Checkout co-host Julian Morrow said consumers were in the dark over their rights. "It's easy to go, oh it's annoying but I won't do anything about it,"" Morrow said. "We want to highlight the issues . . . and suggest ways that you might be able to get around it."" Morrow said it was ""pretty hard to imagine that there's a convincing argument"" about why Apple charges Australian music and TV fans more. "Who knows, maybe we'll write a song about it and put it on iTunes and try to sell it to Australians for more,"" Morrow said. If you're hooked on one of those addictive drugs like Homeland or The Wire, desperate people will seek desperate measures. "If I need to get a few IT workarounds in to get my latest episode of Homeland on, then I'll do it."" Morrow confirmed The Chaser team would also return to ABC1 with five election specials. "We're quietly working behind the scenes to support Julia Gillard because if there's a leadership challenge or an early election, that's really going to mess with our lead plans,"" Morrow joked. The Checkout screens on ABC1 on Thursday at 8pm. Viewers can send tip-offs about bad deals via abc.net.au/tv/thecheckout.
