In the second part of a three-part series, Robert Peston tells the remarkable story of the 1990s and 2000s - the boom years, when the stuff we bought got cheaper, fashion got faster, and supermarkets got smarter. Robert explores the unstoppable rise of Tesco, IKEA and Primark, and meets the charismatic and sometimes controversial Topshop owner Sir Philip Green. And he charts how our love affair with shopping got out of hand, storing up trouble for us all.
