C4 takes Portas shopping

Channel 4 in the UK has commissioned a one-off factual show exploring what the country bought over the past 12 months.

Factual indie Sundog Pictures is producing What Britain Bought in 2018, fronted by retail expert Mary Portas.

The 1×60’ show reveals the country’s passions, fashions, fads and faux pas from the past 12 months, including the country’s increasing demand for takeaway food, the growth of ethical shopping and the use of plastic.

Sundog has worked with Mary Portas since 2015 on a wide range of projects, all for Channel 4 including Barbie: The Most Famous Doll in the World and What Britain Earns.
