Documentary series going behind the scenes at iconic department store Liberty as it gears up for the make-or-break Christmas shopping season, and meeting its unique staff and customers
The huge successes of Inside John Lewis and Inside Claridge’s on BBC2 have shown that viewers have a real appetite for peeking behind the scenes of big-name, high-end ‘brands’, for want of a better word.
So it was only a matter of time before that poshest of posh shops, Liberty, flung open its doors to the cameras. If you’ve ever been, you’ll know it’s almost intimidatingly cathedral-like, albeit a cathedral filled with expensive handbags, scarves and pricey trinkets.
Naturally, Channel 4 has been given “unprecedented access” (not that precedented access we are all waiting for, one day it will surely come) to Liberty as it gears up for its most important and showy time of the year. As 40,000 festive baubles arrive at the height of a hot summer, we watch the store’s 400 staff work flat out to put the Christmas sparkle into Liberty profits.
