'Black Friday madness' in Stevenage

A bargain hunter from Hertfordshire said it was "madness" as he tried to shop in the "Black Friday" sales as hundreds of shoppers scrambled for discounted goods.

Tom Wade filmed the shopping frenzy at a Tesco store in Stevenage as people tried to secure televisions and other electrical items at bargain prices.

Black Friday, historically, is the big sales day in America that follows the Thanksgiving holiday.

It has been adopted by an increasing number of shops in the UK with sales thought to exceed £360,000 a minute.
