Vansessa Gold goes undercover at the adult retailer Ann Summers.
Ann Summers' CEO Jacqueline Gold is one of Britain's best known business women. She has developed the family business away from the domain of the male 'raincoat brigade' to a taboo-busting female-friendly high street staple. Too famous to go incognito herself, Jacqueline sends younger sister and Deputy MD Vanessa undercover to visit stores across the UK.
Despite having worked for the company since the age of 16, Vanessa has to overcome extreme nervousness when face to face with her customers, and when handling their often intimate questions about the products on sale. Is her reticence to talk sex echoed by the staff and customers? And has the brand got too safe for even the high street?

Andrew Withers, boss of Southern Fried Chicken, goes undercover in his fast food franchise, and is shocked by what he discovers about the standards, staff, food and customers.
Southern Fried Chicken was started by Andrew's father back in the 1960s and now has outlets across the UK. Andrew feels passionately that the SFC brand in the UK is in need of an overhaul, and feels himself at odds with the carefully constructed image he has spent years developing for the brand in 70 countries overseas. In the UK, SFC is associated with post-pub late night binge eats rather than seen as a family restaurant.
Andrew spends time behind the counter to find out why the company's 200 UK franchises aren't living up to his expectations. Can he get his business back on track?

Chief Operating Officer Kevin McCullough goes undercover at npower, one of the UK's top utility companies.

After all the bad press, Kevin admits that because `the company made me everything that I am today, when people criticise the hard work our employees put in - it hurts.'
Undercover Kevin sees for himself what his employees have to put up with, working a spell on the busy customer service team. There's a mountain to climb to gain back the respect of customers and staff; will Kevin's spell undercover go any way to turning the business around?

Martyn Birks, the director of Poundworld, goes undercover to discover why some of the budget chain's stores are failing to perform as well as expected, and why employee turnover is high.
On paper the family run Poundworld is an outright success story. The company started life in 1974 from a Wakefield market stall and has since expanded to have branches nationwide.
But the credit crunch has been a double-edged sword for Poundworld - the company has expanded to meet the demands of cash-strapped Brits, but without being able to raise their prices (above a pound) the profit margins are constantly being squeezed.
Director Martyn Birks knows the company is having problems and that expansion has come at a price. With reports of unsettled and unhappy staff, who are working far beyond what they are paid to do, some stores are failing to perform as well as they have been, while employee turnover is high.
Can Martyn find out what it will take to get Poundworld back on track?
