S0E2 - Clealls
Mary tackles Chris and Juliet, a London couple who are running a beautiful Dorset village shop into the ground. The couple bought Clealls of Corfe Castle a year ago, but are haemorrhaging almost 6,000 pounds a month and now stand to lose their savings, their pension and their home. The shop is more mini-mart than country store, and the locals and tourists are heading for the hills.

S0E3 - Fosters
Mary focuses upon the most endangered sector of all - greengrocers. She finds a store in Merseyside on its knees, and takes on three fiery sisters that are running it into the ground. Fosters has been open 115 years, but the sisters who recently bought it are clueless, prickly and think they know best

S0E4 - Under the Moon
Mary battles to save a Kingston homeware shop living on borrowed time. Their 1970s stock is shockingly bad, the hippy owners are from another planet, and it may be almost impossible to bring them back down to earth. Under the Moon owners (and Fleetwood Mac lookalikes) Dazzle and Denny are from another age, as is their bizarre home interior range

Mary takes on an 80s hairdressing legend whose business is facing the chop. She is in Rochdale, one of the cities worst hit during the recession, and on the edge of town is the once-great John Peers hair salon, now teetering on the edge of oblivion.
