Sir Philip Green is a man of unimaginable wealth, his company – Arcadia – has transformed clothes shopping in the UK, he’s made tens of thousands of jobs, and now, he’s taken them away. 

After nearly two decades, Green’s retail empire has collapsed – but how did he rise to power, how far can he fall, and who will he take with him?

In this episode, host Jayne Secker is joined by Ian King, Sky’s business presenter, to talk through the rise and fall of the fashion tycoon, how he became the ‘unacceptable face of capitalism’, and what the collapse of Arcadia means for shopping, jobs and pensions.
