Mary Portas : Secret Shopper

The retail guru works with four businesses to help improve the quality of their customer service. At a family-run convenience store in Burnham, Buckinghamshire, she's shocked to see how staff behave when they don't know they're being filmed. Too much clowning around means out-of-date food is being left on the shelves, so Mary takes supervisor Dean and his team to a Michelin-starred restaurant to show them how to work well together. She also wants owner Keshu to rethink the products he stocks and give his savvy daughter Ash more responsibility.

The retail guru heads to the Suffolk seaside town of Lowestoft to take on her biggest challenge yet.

Determined to turn the staff into product-knowledge experts, Mary organises a trip to Spitalfields Market and devises a customer-service test in an attempt to give the team the confidence they need.
