Al-Fayed - Episode 1: I’ve Got To Get Rid of You

On a winter’s day in 1990, Joanna Brittan’s boss beckons her off the street, and into a waiting limousine. 

They take a long drive to a country estate outside of London, where they meet Mohamed Al-Fayed – the billionaire businessman who owns the iconic department store, Harrods. 

Decades later, Joanna will look back at this strange trip to the countryside in a new, disturbing light. 

And when serious allegations emerge after Al-Fayed’s death, she believes that her story is part of a bigger picture that is only just beginning to be revealed.
