Channel 5 look at the world of Harrods

It was once the Jewl in the UK retail department stores’ crown…

Harrods is the most famous shop in the world. An iconic British institution, it’s been a symbol of grace and elegance for 175 years. Now, its reputation lies in tatters. So, what has gone wrong?

Tomorrow night Channel 5 delve deep into the extraordinary journey of Harrods, from its humble beginnings in the 19th century, to establishing itself as an international symbol of luxury and opulence… attracting royalty, celebrities, and elite clients from across the globe.

But when did things take a turn for the worse? After a change in ownership badly cheapened the high-end brand, recent horrifying allegations against its long-term owner Mohamed Al-Fayed threaten to ruin its reputation forever.

But can Harrods ever recover?
