STEPH McGOVERN GOES INSIDE JOHN LEWIS FOR CHANNEL 4

John Lewis has been one of the most iconic names on the British high street for over a century. But 2020 has been devastating. The chain has posted record losses and announced a slew of redundancies alongside the closures of some flagship stores.

And that was before John Lewis was forced to temporarily close all its stores in England for three key weeks in the run-up to Christmas - its most crucial trading period.

With access inside the beleaguered chain as its shops shutter, Steph McGovern investigates the challenges that John Lewis face, and what these challenges tell us about the wider future of our high streets as more and more of us turn to online shopping, possibly for good.

With insight from insiders past and present, Steph explores how John Lewis rose to become one of Britain's most loved brands, and the bold decisions they're now making to try and weather the storm.

Inside John Lewis: Trouble At The Tills airs Monday 21st December at 8pm on Channel 4.
