Liskeard will feature in the third and final episode of retail guru Mary Portas' new show, Mary Queen of the High Street, on Sunday May 21.
The town, which received £100, 000 of government funding to help revitalise its dwindling high street under the Portas Pilot scheme, is one of three towns to feature in the series.
The programme, which was produced by Optomen, will follow Mary as she calls upon residents and businesses to spruce up the town during a mass clean-up and attempts to bring new businesses into empty shops.
The first programme in the series will feature Roman Road, the oldest trading street in London, and will be shown on May 7.
The seaside town Margate will feature in the second show which will be broadcast the following week – Sunday May 14.
All three programmes will start at 9pm and will be shown on Channel 4.
