I understand that a lot of TV involves such subterfuge, but I find these deceptions fairly obvious and thus irritating. Surely their time should
have passed?

So what alternative do you have?
Presenter carrying a handheld camera, police style camera clipped to
his jacket, cameraman following him around in 'Challenge Anneka' style?
Don't warn the person in advance and have everything done spontaneously?
Presumably also dispense with the multiple shots from different
viewpoints as well?
By the way I notice a few weeks ago that Nicky Campbell said he never
looks at any photographs in advance so he sees for the first time at
the same time as the victim.
At least he claimed that.
I don't have an easy answer - but saying "and then we called on", or
similar, and showing the presenter going up to the door and ringing the
bell, then seeing - from inside - the door being opened and them being greeted, seems so corny.

Would it be any less corny to have a camera outside and someone ringing
the door bell then introducing themselves to a stranger.

Like making the tea? Was that not what happened to you?
