Shops And Robbers
Synopsis
The Cutting Edge crew make the most of their unique access into Marks and Spencer’s security operation with this record-breaking documentary.
“On a good day, I’d make about £1,000, up to £1,300. On a bad day, I’d make about £500. That’s not a very good day – that’s quite sad actually,” says Megan Brooks, reputedly Britain’s number one shoplifter.
The Cutting Edge crew make the most of their unique access into Marks and Spencer’s security operation with this record-breaking documentary. It tracks the game of cat-and-mouse between professional shoplifter and the exasperated security forces Megan has to beat. Her engaging confessions to camera, complete with tips of the trade, helped Shops And Robbers attract 10 million viewers on its first showing in 1994 (then a Channel 4 record for non-fiction programming).
