Pound Shop Wars

Pound Shop Wars is a British factual television series that was first broadcast on BBC One from 7 November 2012 until 30 September 2015.

Narrated by Caroline Aherne, the series shows the competition between rival pound shops, focusing on Poundworld.

[5][6] Tim Dowling of The Guardian said the series "was not enhanced by Caroline Aherne's jokey narration, and it had more than its fair share of isn't-he-a-character type characters, but it was saved for me by a surprising discovery: the pound shop business is actually pretty interesting.

[8] Bath Chronicle called the narration "lacklustre" and commented on how boring the series was.

[10] The Sunday Times said "Full marks to the makers of this documentary, who find a clever and absorbing way to tell the story of the biggest current trend on Britain's high streets.
