A Place Called ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Available for over a year

Watford or Harvey Nichols - where is home for the 'Queen of Shops'? Award winning interviewers and journalists Rachel Sylvester and Alice Thomson meet well known people to explore the geography of their childhood. In this episode, Mary Portas takes Alice and Rachel back to her home town of Watford where she grew up. Mary shows them the department store, the theatre and the streets she knew so well, and shows them how they shaped her - and her politics and entrepreneurial outlook. And she says she only really found home when she made it to Knightsbridge and the glamour of the Harvey Nichols' shop windows. Producer: Chris Ledgard.
