Inside Tesco: 24/7 Channel 5, 7pm
With business booming at the UK’S supermarkets, particularly as we try to shop in fewer locations due to the pandemic, it can be easy to forget that most of the mighty national chains had very humble beginnings. This three-part documentary, starting tonight, celebrates 101 years of Tesco by telling the story of Britain’s biggest retailer. Businessman Jack Cohen first started running market stalls in the East End of London in 1919, which led him to set up the brand as his enterprise kept growing: now there are 3,627 branches. More than just a history series, camera crews also head behind the scenes at some of Tesco’s superstores to show what working life is like for the staff today.
