Do you see what they did there?! This series is fantastic! Take one failing boutique and one person who knows retail inside out, put them together and you have the Trinny and Susannah of the retail world! What Not To Stock! In last night’s instalment Mary Portas was in Surrey helping a boutique owner who aimed at the over 40s market and stocked nighties and what she called ‘dog walking jackets’ – horrid puffy anoraks. By the time Mary had finished with the shop, I was thinking I would wear some of the things in the shop, and I’m only 28! The customers loved it though and at the evening launch of the revamped boutique they made more in 2 hours than they had in 3 days in recent times.
Why Mary feels she can’t talk to the camera is beyond me, just who is she talking to off the screen? And in last night’s instalment – the boutique owner needed to learn a new word to interchange with ‘cute’. Which she said ALL the time. About everything. Catch the rest of the series on Thursdays at 9pm on BBC2.

I saw this yesterday, thought it was really good, but don't you find the way Mary stares away from the camera as it pans round her when she's doing those little advice slots is really irritating! Oh and I saw clothes in there I wanted at the end and I'm 23!!
