Beat the Burglar is a BBC television programme that uses ex-professional burglar Mike Fraser to break into people's homes with their permission to show how vulnerable they can be. Forensic teams then harvest the evidence for analysis by experts before giving the homeowners a home security makeover.
The ex-professional burglar shows them what a real burglary would be like while they watch from a camera.
Firstly he shows them how easy it is to enter their homes, then he takes their prized possessions. Later he returns the items and tells them how they can improve security in their homes. At the end of the show their home's security is improved and the ex-burglar returns to see whether they have beaten the burglar.
Beat the Burglar is presented by Dominic Littlewood .
The show is currently showing on UKTV and was previously shown on BBC One in Spring 2005.
Circle Square was a Canadian children's television series that ran from 1974 to 1986. The series was produced by Crossroads Christian Communications in cooperation with the Circle Square network of summer camps for children of Christian parents.
Mixing human actors — both youth and adult counselors — with puppets in a Sesame Street-like manner, the series was set at a Circle Square Library. Each episode taught a lesson in moral values and Christian faith.
The series was syndicated to Canada and the United States, and usually aired in a weekend slot on stations that also aired Crossroads' 100 Huntley Street.
1984-1986 reruns of Circle Square were formerly shown Saturday mornings on the Trinity Broadcasting Network until late 2005 or early 2006.
In 2003 a pilot for a new version of Circle Square called Circle Square Network was produced by Crossroads, but was never picked up.
Episodes of the original Circle Square program can be viewed on the Circle Square Ranch website.
