Bestsellers: 2015 (w/t) is an entertaining, eye-opening look back at how we shopped in the year that was. The 60 minute special, will review the products we bought in the last twelve months and what the UK’s £6billion a week shopping habit says about us. The programme will be reminiscing on the ‘must-haves’, the ‘can’t-resists’ and of course, the ‘why-did-we-evers?!’ of 2015. The programme will also be hearing from some very recognisable British faces to learn about their retail story of 2015 as well speaking to high street experts on how they develop products and get them on our shelves at just the right moment to meet demand. And of course, we’ll be revealing the year’s best selling product.
