00:0014 people came to London in search of a job.
00:07I don't like liars. I don't like cheats.
00:12I don't like bullshitters.
00:15I don't like schmoozers.
00:18I don't like arse lickers.
00:22They've come to battle it out for a job with Sir Alan Sugar.
00:26I would have told you to piss off.
00:28Tough and uncompromising, Sir Alan is at the top of his game
00:31with a global empire worth £700 million.
00:37He's offering one job with a six-figure salary.
00:41I'm gonna fucking win this night if it kills me.
00:44To get it, they'll have to work and live together
00:47and face a weekly business task.
00:50You can't fucking fire me.
00:52Do you feel the pressure is building?
00:54This is the ultimate job interview.
00:56You're fired. You're fired.
01:07Last week on The Apprentice.
01:10The candidates were invited to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
01:14This is a businessman's dream.
01:16Good morning. How you doing?
01:17You got mobile phones?
01:18We got cell phones.
01:19They're tasked to promote a mobile phone service,
01:21providing news to Spurs fans.
01:24You got a phone on you?
01:25Both teams had big ideas.
01:28Can we put something on the pitch?
01:31Why don't we get some flippin' lunatic to parachute into the stadium?
01:35They won't allow it.
01:36Forget about asking.
01:37But Spurs crushed their plans.
01:40There are some new ground rules.
01:42No use of the pitch.
01:43No painting on it.
01:44No banners over it.
01:45To have people basically renege on deals at critical times was very upsetting.
01:50It's alright.
01:51It's alright.
01:52It's alright.
01:53You do what you have to do, but you're destroying our property.
01:56For Cyrus, the pressure was intense.
01:58Because that's wrong.
01:59It's just, you know, it's just too much.
02:01Probably she's feeling a bit tired and emotional,
02:04because, you know, she's project manager and the pressure's on.
02:12In the boardroom, the clear winner was Tin's team.
02:16And the spotlight fell on Syrah.
02:18Syrah, what do you think?
02:19You got a solemn look on your face this morning.
02:22I put my hand up.
02:23I was feeling a bit low, however...
02:25Why was you feeling a bit low?
02:26Well, because I'm a human being.
02:28Raj.
02:29If you're looking for a salesperson, I'm not your man.
02:30You keep saying that to me.
02:31Every time you sit in front of me, you're not my man for this.
02:34You're not my man for that.
02:35No, I haven't said that before.
02:36What are you my man for?
02:37I have not said that at all.
02:38The camera doesn't lie.
02:39Luckily for Syrah, Raj talked himself out of a job.
02:43I'm going to put you out of your misery, my friend.
02:45I'm sorry to say I'm going to have to let you go.
02:47You're fine.
02:48Raj became the ninth casualty of the boardroom.
02:51Now only five remain to fight for the chance to become the apprentice.
02:58At the house, the surviving candidates wait to find out who will return from the boardroom.
03:08I think that James has gone today.
03:11Because I think that he probably doesn't fit into Salim's kind of image of who he wants as an apprentice as much as Sy does.
03:19I think she's got a good chance because she's a fighter.
03:21Maybe he's just fed up of people fighting. Maybe he just wants them to do their job.
03:25I do think that Syrah's going to cop for it.
03:28I don't know.
03:30I think he's fed up of hearing her spiel in the boardroom.
03:33I think he likes her.
03:39That's a woman's boot.
03:41That's Sy.
03:43Tell us, guys. Tell us, girls.
03:45Who's the other one?
03:46It's Rahma, is it?
03:47It's Rahma.
03:49Good to see you, girl.
03:50Well done, you.
03:51Hello, guys!
03:53That's Ruth!
03:55You ain't coming to me.
03:57Hello, are you?
03:59We were sure Raj was coming back.
04:01Who did you say it was me?
04:03We just...
04:04I was sure that Raj and Sal were coming back.
04:06Really?
04:07Yeah, I really thought so.
04:08You bang.
04:09Why?
04:10Just because of the way I think...
04:12Tell you what, I nearly went, though.
04:14Was it really close between you?
04:16I thought I was a goner.
04:17He said to me, you are abrupt, you are abrasive,
04:20and you need to watch yourself and can't treat people like skivvies.
04:23He said, in my business, there's only one person with a big mouth.
04:26He said, and that's me.
04:27And I thought, you just want a servant, then?
04:29Well, if you want a servant, I'm not the right person,
04:31because this servant will speak back and say,
04:33I don't think that's really a good idea.
04:35I think he just gave me one more chance and said,
04:37you're a gobby cow and you have to prove yourself next time.
04:39To get down to the last seven is a big achievement.
04:41We're down now to the last five.
04:42That's huge.
04:43I'm glad that particular task is over.
04:44Five of us left.
04:45Three versus two now.
04:46Yeah.
04:47And it's time to move on.
05:09Hello?
05:10Hello, it's Frances here from Sir Allen's office.
05:14Hello, Frances.
05:15It's Paul here.
05:16You'll be picked up tomorrow morning at 6.30am.
05:19Right.
05:20Okay.
05:21Thank you very much.
05:22Okay.
05:23Bye-bye.
05:24Bye.
05:2520 quid and I'll give you the news.
05:27The team's set off.
05:44But they don't know where they're going.
05:50On the back seat of each car, a clue.
05:54From the desk of Sir Allen Sugar.
05:57And I can't believe it lasted this long.
05:59Ah.
06:00Okay.
06:01We've got a DVD.
06:03Listen to this.
06:08So Al gets high tech.
06:11For the first time.
06:13Look at him.
06:16Well, I'm sorry I can't be with you today because as you can see I've been at a launch of one of my products in front of all my customers.
06:23All of the press and a lot of the financial community.
06:27I've been there pitching in the way that I have done over many years directly to those people.
06:33The next task coming up for you two teams is a similar one.
06:38You are going to have an hour each team live on national television.
06:44One of these selling channels.
06:46No way.
06:47The difference being is you won't know who you're talking to.
06:51I did.
06:52You'll be talking to a massive audience.
06:54This task, you've got no time for mistakes.
06:57You can't do it again.
06:59You're going to be under pressure because if you fluff it then you're not going to sell anything on top of looking a bloody idiot.
07:08And the team that loses one of you is going to get fired.
07:14Amazing.
07:15No way.
07:16I'm excited.
07:17We want to know what we're flogging.
07:18Yeah.
07:19Yeah.
07:20Some kitchen utensil that cuts cheese and then cucumber and you can turn it around.
07:26It's a helicopter.
07:27You can barbecue it.
07:29You can grill it.
07:30Okay, so the first thing we've got to do is pick our project manager.
07:33And I don't know, I mean I'm very open minded about it but on the other hand, you did it last time.
07:39Yeah.
07:40It's probably I should do it this time.
07:42Okay.
07:43Is that it?
07:44Yeah, that's fine.
07:45You're happy?
07:46Yeah, I'm very happy.
07:47Alright.
07:48Well, we've all done two memes.
07:50I haven't.
07:51Ready for another win for another girl?
07:53I'm ready for another win.
07:54I'm not sure I can take orders from a woman.
07:57Can we not just kick this around a bit more?
08:01Paul, that's appalling that you say that.
08:05I just shoot from there.
08:08Mimit is then.
08:09You're ordering everyone around.
08:11It'll be Miriam Hitler.
08:16From the briefing, the task seems straightforward.
08:21But they're about to discover that selling live on a shopping channel involves a lot more
08:26than standing in front of them.
08:29The customers are out there somewhere.
08:31The trick is to connect with them, even though they can't be seen.
08:35We've got a team-age.
08:36Doors are scrambling.
08:38Auditions will decide which team member does the selling.
08:41Five seconds.
08:42Four.
08:47Hello there, and welcome this afternoon.
08:49And in the wings, Sir Alan's eyes and ears, Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford.
08:54Good afternoon, everybody.
08:56Does this carpet look familiar to you?
08:59It was much tougher than I expected, to be honest.
09:01There's so much going on, so much you've got to remember.
09:04But I loved it.
09:05Give me the item number next, please.
09:06And the item number for the fantastic product is 313.
09:11I hated it.
09:15Absolutely hated it.
09:16And it was really interesting, because coming into this, I thought, oh, it's sales, it's
09:19natural, you know, it's going to be direct selling, and I can talk for England.
09:23But to be quite honest with you, I absolutely hated that.
09:26With practice, I can feel comfortable and confident with that.
09:28I think you, yeah, I think I'm going to be quite happy on this one, and I'll be honest,
09:32sitting behind and doing the kind of key say this, say that, I didn't feel comfortable
09:37doing that.
09:38Oddly, the candidates who were top salesmen in other tasks flunk the test.
09:44And, let's be honest, that after two years, if it falls to pieces, you've only lost
09:50£24.99.
09:51When we did our screen test, Paul, who is the ultimate salesman out of all of us, just
09:58flopped, really.
10:00Thank you very much, and goodbye.
10:03Miriam, on the other hand, she was just such a natural.
10:06Yes, she was nervous, but she remained calm all the way through there.
10:10313-534-2499, ladies and gentlemen, don't miss out.
10:14This morning, I would be more happy presenting, but it looks like I fell on my arse in presenting,
10:19and I don't think that I could turn that around in less than 24 hours and all of a sudden be a start.
10:24That's bloody weird, honestly. I'm a bit shaken up by that.
10:26Yeah.
10:27Tenth task?
10:28Yeah.
10:29Tenth task is more important than I ask in any time.
10:30But don't be hard on yourself.
10:31You went first.
10:32Myself and Tim are going to be production.
10:34Miriam is going to be the presenter.
10:36I think she thought that being project leader, she had to be at the desk, making sure that everything was running smoothly.
10:42But, you know, I said to her, look, Miriam, if you're a good presenter, if that's where your strength is,
10:46then you're just going to have to trust me and Tim to do a good job in production.
10:49The producer's first job is to choose which products to sell, and the two on-screen sellers, Miriam and James, aren't allowed to participate.
11:01There are products in the vast range on offer that will sell themselves, but the candidates don't know which they are, and they're not allowed to ask.
11:10My first item for you, Shaps, is edible pens.
11:16Now, I can see you like this one, and this is actually based on a wolf design.
11:21Yeah, it's very, very plush.
11:23I think you and me both are thinking that that craft stuff that we saw there was a lot of tosh.
11:28Edible pens, please.
11:30I don't like the wolf jacket, the pens, all of that, I didn't like them.
11:34That was all tosh.
11:35We have our extendable ratchet action loppers.
11:40Next one I have for you is the vanishing point safety knife.
11:45A two-minute candle power rechargeable spotlight, and as you can see from the wall over there, it's extremely bright.
11:53The candle torch I thought was okay.
11:55I just thought the opposite. I thought, okay, it's a torch, so what? A torch? It's just a torch.
12:00Ratchet action loppers and pruners.
12:02They're cheap.
12:03How much is it?
12:05625.
12:06That's 625.
12:07And with...
12:08I thought we got it.
12:10In this set you get a comforter, you get a quilt cover, a fitted valance sheet, and two pillowcases.
12:18You can basically do your whole room.
12:20Oh, ooh.
12:2149.99.
12:22It's a bit garish though, isn't it? A whole room in that.
12:24What do you think?
12:25Got some duffers in there.
12:26There's some duffers that we have to pick out, but...
12:28Listen, we've done everything so far, we can do this as well.
12:31I can do this as well.
12:33While the boys are quick to criticise, Syrah digs for clues that will help James to sell.
12:38This product's called True Sleeper.
12:40How do you make that look sexy on TV?
12:42Have you sold any of these before on here?
12:44Yes, I have, yes.
12:46You have, right, okay.
12:47It's basically a home yoghurt making system.
12:49How would you demonstrate it?
12:51How long have you been selling these?
12:53Well, water features in general, I've been running over the summer season for about three years.
12:58Ah.
12:59Okay.
13:00Are any celebrities using it at the moment?
13:02No.
13:03How much was this again?
13:04It's a good idea, but it's quite complicated to explain, isn't it?
13:07The audience is 40 plus, mainly women.
13:10It appeals just as much to men or women, indeed women buying a gift purchase.
13:15A gift for present, yeah.
13:16There's quite a few products that I like, but there's a lot of information in my head, and
13:22I'm kind of trying to think about so many things, like, I've got to think about the audience
13:26at that time, I've got to think about what James will enjoy selling.
13:31So there's a lot to think about, and I've got to make decisions really quickly.
13:34Number two, one, two.
13:36As presenters, the project managers forfeit their chance to help with the buying.
13:40So they spend time rehearsing their selling skills.
13:43Now, I just want to show you once again, because another beautiful aspect of this watch
13:47is that you can actually adapt.
13:49We have got to realise that product is critical.
13:51Sir Alan in every single task has gone straight down to who picked the product.
13:55Well, forget that, it's about the product is what's going to make us the money.
13:58Well, as well, yeah, as well.
14:01The two teams are not permitted to sell identical products.
14:05So where they both want the same item, they must negotiate.
14:09The boys hatch a plan to outwit Syrah.
14:12They'll make her reveal her choices first, then claim to have picked the same items,
14:16so she can't have all her favourites.
14:20Channel executive Tommy Lorimer will arbitrate.
14:24Tim and Paul have managed to keep him in the dark, too.
14:27What did you want from Fashion and Craft?
14:28The ones that I would like, please, are yoghurt and flavours, the Kenwood grill,
14:33and the Wonderflex three-piece cooking utensils.
14:37Well, we wanted the Wonderflex, and the Ezio, and the grill.
14:41Yes, so we want the same three things on there.
14:44Okay.
14:45We're prepared to sacrifice.
14:47I think you need to debate, just debate really quickly which ones you want.
14:51What's your favourite?
14:52What's your absolute you will not budge on?
14:53Ezio.
14:54Okay, we won't budge on...
14:55The Ezio.
14:56No, no, no, no.
14:58We won't budge on the Health Grill.
15:00Okay, so you have the Health Grill.
15:01Fine.
15:02And First Forte having the Ezio products.
15:04Brilliant.
15:05That then leaves Wonderflex, which you both wanted.
15:06Wonderflex you have to talk about.
15:07Tell you what.
15:08Oh, oh, go on.
15:09You have the Wonderflex, and I'm going to go with the True Sleeper.
15:21Okay.
15:22You can't tut it, though.
15:23I didn't.
15:24I just blew heavily.
15:26What did you want totally from arts, from fashion and crafts?
15:29Okay, fashion and crafts, I want the polo poncho, the edible pens, and the wolf spirit
15:35unisex jacket.
15:36Fine.
15:37Can we give you two out of three?
15:39Because we fancied the poncho.
15:41No, I want the poncho.
15:43Well, that's a very greedy sign.
15:44We're giving you two out of three.
15:46No, I want the poncho.
15:47You want the poncho more than the other ones?
15:48Yes.
15:49So you want the poncho as your top item?
15:50Yes.
15:51I will take the poncho if you want to take any of the other two.
15:55Let her have the poncho.
15:56You can have the poncho.
15:57Okay.
15:58We've been nice to you, though.
15:59Remember that.
16:00Okay.
16:01Remember that.
16:02We wanted that.
16:03Okay.
16:04I want to go to technology.
16:05You give me yours first, because Sara gave me hers first.
16:06That's part of a negotiation.
16:07Ah, Sara goes first, is she?
16:09She's opted to do so.
16:10Okay.
16:11Lovely.
16:12Okay, well, the ones that I'm going to go for are the DVD recorder.
16:15Okay.
16:16I'd like the 4,000 camera, and I'd like the sing star.
16:22Well, once again.
16:24They're the three I'd like.
16:25And they're the three V one.
16:26Oh, really?
16:27The exact same three?
16:28The exact same three.
16:29The exact same three.
16:30Okay, well, I would like, out of all of those, the DV4,000 camera.
16:35So you'll give up the other two for the DV4,000 camera?
16:38Yes.
16:39Okay, so that's a good deal for you.
16:41That's a good deal.
16:42That's a good deal.
16:43Thank you, Sara.
16:44Is that your negotiations done?
16:45That's our negotiations.
16:46Apart from one other.
16:47Which other?
16:48Which other one?
16:49You know the actual torch?
16:50The new one that's out?
16:51Yes.
16:52You want that one as well?
16:53I wouldn't mind that, please.
16:54Yeah.
16:55How did that slip through our net?
16:56Well, okay.
16:57That one.
16:58Yeah.
16:59We had it down as one as we weren't ticked, but we'll give you a few of that.
17:01Okay.
17:03That's fine.
17:04Sara, are you happy with all the items you've got?
17:05Yes.
17:06Can we now have a private conversation now in terms of sorting out our items?
17:09All right.
17:10What are we doing?
17:11Are we allowed to do that?
17:12You're allowed to choose as many products as you want, basically.
17:14Fine.
17:15We'll advise you as best we can as to how many you can have on your show.
17:16Fine.
17:17Okay, that's fine.
17:18Okay, is that you done?
17:19Yeah, that's it.
17:20Thanks, Sara.
17:21Okay.
17:22There you go.
17:23There you go.
17:24Brilliant.
17:25Indeed.
17:26Indeed.
17:27We ticked as many as we possibly could.
17:29We would compensate if we lost a good item.
17:31Yeah.
17:32And come and use this last five minutes to swap the final ten that we won't come back to
17:35our final ten.
17:36As long as you've got six minutes.
17:38You can give me your list of products.
17:39One hundred percent.
17:40One hundred percent.
17:41One hundred percent on that.
17:42The sneaky thing.
17:43Yeah?
17:44Right.
17:45That's one.
17:46That bedding.
17:47Yuck.
17:48Yuck.
17:49Oh, it's lovely, that bedding.
17:50It's gonna do a whole room.
17:51Oh, please.
17:52It looks like vomit.
17:55The gorilla.
17:57There's two tall lamps for twenty quid.
18:00Yeah.
18:03They're dead in the water already.
18:06They're dead in the water.
18:07At least we know we've got a better product list.
18:10Hmm.
18:11You pulled a first one then in effect by getting her to say her.
18:13Yes.
18:14Yes.
18:15A classic negotiation between you.
18:16Get your opponent to say what they're willing to give and what they're doing.
18:18And then you offer something that you don't care about.
18:20None of the things that we were bothering, we didn't care about.
18:22We were willing to give them up.
18:23So she thought we were giving something up.
18:24But we weren't.
18:25We were just negotiating.
18:26They get what they want.
18:27I did feel the tiniest bit sorry for Sarah when she sat down.
18:32I felt a bit sorry for her because there she was by herself.
18:35She had no negotiating experience.
18:36No, indeed.
18:37But I felt a tiny bit sorry for her.
18:39I think they kind of felt a bit sorry for me because I was on my own.
18:42But I think I was trying to make them feel sorry for me.
18:46I was in control all the time.
18:48At six o'clock.
18:49The products that I think will do well on the day will be the polo poncho.
18:53The actual pack of yogurts.
18:56And I think the wolf spirit jacket.
18:59They're going to be some of our key and winners tomorrow.
19:02Because I bought the wolf jacket.
19:04She bought the wolf jacket.
19:05Yes, because we gave them to her.
19:07Exactly.
19:10Time to head home.
19:12And a chance for Tim and Paul to boast about their negotiating skills.
19:16But it's a good one.
19:17Looks like you got some brilliant quacks, guys.
19:19We did.
19:20Well, compared to theirs, I'll read you out what they've got, right?
19:23They've got a Palo Pacino, which is basically a hoodie, but like a scarf.
19:28Don't slug it off, because you wanted it.
19:30I thought it was a good item, but it's not great.
19:31It's only £14.90.
19:32Okay.
19:33Next, you've got the wolf spirit unisex jacket.
19:35When I'm telling you...
19:36It's a fleece.
19:37No one would ever buy this.
19:39It's a fleece and it's £45.
19:41This thing is grotesque.
19:43It's something that an old granny would buy you because they think it's something you wear
19:47and you would never touch it.
19:48You'd clean the car already.
19:50I'm telling you, I looked at it and I was like, you're being serious, aren't you?
19:54And she was like, yeah, it's great.
19:56It's a quality product and it's rubbish.
19:58It remains to be seen whether Tim's opinion will be shared by the buying public.
20:03Sounds like you negotiated well, boys.
20:04We did.
20:05Brilliant.
20:06We did good.
20:07Way to go, guys.
20:08I think they were kind of thinking I was going to be really friendly and just let them have
20:11what they want and I was just looking at them going, no.
20:13So we started off and I was going first and I said, I want this, I want this, I want this.
20:17They were trying to play tactics and as far as I'm concerned, I was like, whatever.
20:21Did they want the yogurts?
20:22Yes, big time.
20:23They went for the camera.
20:25Yes, you got that.
20:26And I got that.
20:27What's important is that I got everything that I wanted to get.
20:31That's good.
20:32Whatever I pull out of this bag, you have got to love it, feel it, smell it, touch it, eat it.
20:51If you laugh first, I'll kill you.
20:54I won't.
20:56Sarah has selected just six items for James to get to grips with in time for tomorrow's show.
21:02What it's called.
21:03What I'm going to bring out on the list first is that yogurts making starter kit.
21:07This is, this is it.
21:10Voila.
21:12And there you go.
21:13So this is, this is, what do you do with this?
21:15This is basically made by NASA.
21:18God, hasn't they got anything better to do with their time?
21:21The thing you have to ask yourself is, how much would you pay for a good night's sleep?
21:30Paul and Tim have brought back 15 items, too many to sell in the 60 minutes slot.
21:36But it does mean project manager Miriam can have a say in which ones they sell on the night.
21:42We've got over a hundred grand's worth of gear.
21:44A hundred grand's worth of gear.
21:46The big ones are the trouser press, the grill, and the garden hedge cutter.
21:52I quite like that, because that's three sort of electrical style items.
21:54And they all go together, don't they?
21:55Yeah, it can definitely work together, which is excellent.
21:57A bit of the Kenwood grill, the fast press, then bring the camisole in there, then go back to the grill.
22:02Maybe go to the garden green hedge trimmer.
22:04I think those are good products, you know.
22:06They are.
22:07What do you think we bought them for?
22:08What I'll try and do now is divide an hour into time.
22:11Yeah.
22:12You know, how much we should devote to each product to get a certain amount of return back.
22:16You know, the biggest hit is, believe it or not, the hedge trimmer.
22:19Because there's 300 of them and they're 94 quid each, which means we've got 28,200 pounds worth.
22:24Right, the next thing is the jacket.
22:27Oh, come on.
22:29That fucking million!
22:38You've got to love this jacket tomorrow, James!
22:53James, you can't laugh this much tomorrow, because the fucking thing works out.
23:00Oh, oh my god, I'm going to putt!
23:04Sorry to stop you there, is this the one that you said was unisex?
23:08Yes.
23:09Right, let me try it on.
23:10Wolf spirit zip through unisex, a lovely, lovely jacket.
23:15Oh James, you've got to wear that up to me love!
23:22Look at this, look at this!
23:29You fucking bulldog!
23:34Oh James, no you've got to, it's got a lovely wolf spirit print.
23:40Lovely!
23:42Beautiful, what does it feel like?
23:45Synthetic, I'm going to come out in a rash.
23:48It's back to the channel for the big day, after a short night's sleep.
24:05We were all up till 12 o'clock last night, we're giving it our all basically.
24:09Hello, morning gang!
24:11After nine tasks, we're knackered physically and mentally, but we're still going because we want to do the best that we can.
24:17All right.
24:18Yes, are you?
24:19Very good.
24:20Right.
24:21Seen our product list?
24:22Yes.
24:23What do you think?
24:24Convinced they have the best list.
24:25Do you want me to be honest?
24:26Yes.
24:27Miriam's team check it with a channel presenter.
24:28We're not picked that well in my opinion, at all.
24:31Really difficult products.
24:32All of them?
24:33Yeah.
24:34And there's certain products that we have on that list that are just instant sellers that you don't have to do anything for.
24:38The moment you show them, they go.
24:41However, out of the products you've got, if you choose strategically, and you demo well, then you could do okay.
24:50Yes.
24:51Don't worry you.
24:52I'm not worried.
24:53No, I'm not worried.
24:54I'm not worried.
24:55Don't worry.
24:56We've done a good job.
24:57I think I'm most concerned that as project manager, I've had to give up responsibility for some of the absolute fundamental decisions that will make or break this whole project.
25:05So I think I'm a little bit concerned about some of the decisions that have been made, and about the way that this live hour is going to go, and the fact that I can't be in two places at once, and I just have to concentrate and do my bits.
25:15Sarah, good luck.
25:16Thank you very much.
25:17I'll see you afterwards.
25:18I'm sure you do fantastic.
25:19I'm sure you do fantastic too, Geoff.
25:20We will do our very best.
25:21I think you can break a leg, all of that sort of stuff, and just go and make the channel some money, yeah?
25:25I don't want to do all of this hard work to end up in the boardroom with the rudest man in Britain.
25:36Nick.
25:37I want the whole hour to go as well as it possibly can, and quite frankly, that will be judged by whether we beat the other team or not, and that's what I want.
25:49We've got five minutes before we kick off our one hour live show.
25:54Tim and I are both a little bit apprehensive, but the important thing is that Tim and I carry the worry, and that Miriam isn't worried.
26:02She's probably feeling a bit nervous.
26:03She wouldn't be human if she wasn't feeling nervous right now.
26:05The teams have live evening slots between five and seven, so Sir Alan leaves the office early to watch the broadcast in the comfort of his own home.
26:15You've got to understand that all these apprentices are young, and I have to take into account that they will not be perfect.
26:24But, you know, like all things, you can get a view whether they're a total disaster and never be able to do it, or whether they're 80% there.
26:33So, like in all the other tasks, really, no-one's ever been perfect in each one, because, you know, experience is the most important thing in business.
26:44See, gorgeous.
26:45You'll be all right.
26:46Yeah, we're going to be a good team.
26:47We've got everything we need.
26:48You're OK for the first three products?
26:49I'm OK with everything.
26:50Right.
26:51She's fine.
26:52We've got everything here.
26:53We'll be with you every single step.
26:54Yep.
26:58Tim and Paul's job now is to feed clear information about the products to the on-screen seller through an earpiece.
27:04Can you hear us?
27:05It's Paul and Tim.
27:07Hey, Mims, can you hear me?
27:08Good.
27:09We're with you, yeah?
27:10We're here, Mims.
27:11OK, Miriam, coming to you in vision.
27:13Camera seven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, five, five.
27:21Three, two, one, and couldn't queue.
27:25I've got some amazing products for a fun-filled packed hour.
27:29Brilliant smile.
27:30So I want to start off by talking to you a little bit about the Kenwood Healthy Grill.
27:34Good girl, that's really good.
27:36You can see they're grilling nicely.
27:38Get absolutely beautiful, tasty, flavoursome food.
27:41Give me some emotion.
27:42I've got some absolutely wonderful tomatoes.
27:45Cooks in minutes.
27:46Beautifully grilled with the lines across them.
27:48Got some burgers.
27:49Taste something, then.
27:50And these wonderful...
27:51I think I might just have to.
27:53It's a little bit naughty, but...
27:55Excellent, excellent.
27:56Mmm.
27:57Oh, that's so good.
27:59Packed full of flavour.
28:01We're already selling, Mims.
28:02We're already selling.
28:03I'm not having to add any oil to my grill.
28:06It's a non-stick surface, and I'm not having to do anything...
28:09First person on the line, Mims.
28:11They're biting already.
28:12First person on the line.
28:13Sir Alan, the armchair critic, can watch his candidates in action, live, for the first
28:19time.
28:20For your parents, for absolutely everyone.
28:22You're glad to employ her, they will.
28:24I'm telling you, she's very good.
28:26Amazing.
28:27Possibly speaking a bit too fast.
28:29That's the only criticism I would make.
28:31There we have it.
28:32The bottom line of this task is, who's taken the most amount of money?
28:36And that's going to really be, because they've picked the right products.
28:40But from a sales point of view, you ain't going to get much better than what she's doing.
28:44Sam, are we ready to move?
28:45Yes.
28:46Where do you want to go to, sorry?
28:47Item two.
28:48Back to you, Invision next.
28:49Invision on seven.
28:50Ready with the SingStar, guys.
28:51Fine.
28:52I think that we need to chill out a little bit.
28:54We need to just...
28:55We need to just be a little bit more relaxed.
28:57Can we go back to my lounge area now, Mims?
28:59Hold it there.
29:00We're going to the SingStar.
29:01Go to the DVD recorder, men.
29:02DVD recorder.
29:03And what I want to take you to is to get back to my lounge and show you a brilliant DVD player.
29:11Director, go to the DVD recorder, please.
29:14Now, the DVD player is absolutely great.
29:19I know, I know, I know.
29:21We want the DVD.
29:22Well, I didn't have a shot of the DVD.
29:25VHS.
29:26The place is VHS.
29:27Guys, you can't just change your mind like that.
29:308 next.
29:31Apologies, Sam.
29:32We won't do it again.
29:33I really want to highlight some of the features of this because I think that it's something
29:37which I've never seen before.
29:38Do you have full photographs?
29:39Do you have VHS?
29:40Think about it.
29:41One step ahead.
29:42Help her.
29:43The DVD players have replaced the VHS.
29:45Maybe you've sold yourself the first one.
29:47I'm your VHS player.
29:48She has not stopped bunnying for 25 minutes, nearly.
29:51She can talk non-stop and doesn't come up for air.
29:54I wonder if she's married.
29:55Poor husband.
29:56My God.
29:57The case has got to be stone deaf.
29:59Is she okay, yeah?
30:00Hey, hey.
30:01Miriam, are you alright?
30:02She's got a problem with her earpiece.
30:03The director goes for a station break.
30:05Two and a half minutes on a break.
30:06Guys, I need some feedback from you.
30:07Camisoles, please.
30:08Camisoles, please.
30:09Camisoles, please.
30:10Camisoles, please.
30:11Camisoles, please.
30:12How much we've sold?
30:13Are you selling stuff?
30:14Where's the money?
30:15Find the money.
30:16Yep.
30:17Camisoles, please.
30:18Camisoles, please.
30:19Camisoles are flying through.
30:20How much we've sold?
30:21$400.
30:22Are you selling stuff?
30:23Where's the money?
30:24Find the money.
30:25Yep.
30:26Camisoles, please.
30:27One thing you can do is remind me of my product, my item number and my price in my ear.
30:30Yes, no problem, I'll do that.
30:31Stand by.
30:32Stand by.
30:33Alright, stand by everybody.
30:34Five, four, three, two, one.
30:38Julie, you are still looking radiant and fabulous.
30:41Would she go night clubbing in it?
30:44So, 95% polyester on these and 5% elastane.
30:48Is that something to brag about?
30:4995% polyester.
30:51Very good.
30:52I just want to show you the colours once more so you know what we have for you today.
30:56Here we have.
30:57Black.
30:58Black.
30:59Brown.
31:00And then we have brown.
31:01Cream which is flying off the shelves.
31:02We do have cream which has been absolutely flying off the shelves.
31:05Navy.
31:06Navy.
31:07Which is the new black.
31:08New black.
31:09People are saying it's the new black.
31:10And white.
31:11And then we have white here.
31:12Which is also the new black.
31:13Be funny, men.
31:14I wonder who's directing that.
31:16Tim and Paul, what are they actually doing now?
31:19There can only be one of them keeping an eye on how sounds are going.
31:23So one of them must be pretty much redundant but in the back room.
31:26One minute.
31:27One minute.
31:28One minute on show.
31:29Now I just want to recap a little bit what we've done today.
31:32Mention the iron.
31:33Make sure that you highlight the benefits.
31:34Go to the iron.
31:35There's no point to go to the iron.
31:36There's no point to go to the iron.
31:37There's no point to go to the iron.
31:38If you've got one.
31:39If you've got one.
31:40Put it on please director.
31:41We're watching the iron.
31:42We also showed you the fast press.
31:45Remember how effective the fast press was.
31:48The beautiful camisole tops which are modelled by the lovely Julie.
31:52You've nearly sold a hundred of those camisole tops.
31:54So just £7.90 for those camisole tops.
31:57You can brighten up your wardrobe.
31:59Counting you out then.
32:00Thank you so much.
32:01It's been really, really lovely.
32:02Seven.
32:03Six.
32:04And whatever you do.
32:05Stay tuned.
32:06Wait, wait, wait.
32:07Well done.
32:08You are a star.
32:09You are an absolute star, Mims.
32:10Well done, girl.
32:11Do you want a job?
32:12Yeah.
32:13I thought I'd be calling you tomorrow when I get fired.
32:15Let's show the rest of my team how a producer can pick something up in one and a half minutes.
32:30Oh, don't put the pressure on.
32:32If anyone's going to do it, you're going to do it.
32:36The six o'clock handover.
32:38Come on in, Sarah.
32:39Just two minutes for the teams to swap.
32:41Enjoy it.
32:42All right.
32:43Good luck darling.
32:44Thanks.
32:45Can you happy, James?
32:46Can anyone hear me?
32:47Hello?
32:48Somebody?
32:49Yes, I can hear you, Sarah.
32:50Sam, Sam, can I have graphics on what's coming up ready?
32:54And clip one.
32:5530 seconds.
32:56Clip one.
32:57Just wait a second.
32:58You're number one.
32:59No, it'll be on that side.
33:00It'll be over here.
33:01It'll be on camera over here.
33:02Sam, bye-bye.
33:03Ten.
33:04Nine.
33:05Eight.
33:06Seven.
33:07Six.
33:08Quiet.
33:09Three.
33:10Two.
33:11One.
33:12Thank you, James.
33:13Hello, good evening.
33:16Thank you very much indeed for joining us.
33:18James, move it on quickly.
33:20Let's start off our show, top of the show tonight, The Yogurt Maker.
33:24Start using and talking about the product.
33:27So, let's talk about the product.
33:28Let's talk about how we make it.
33:29Three easy steps.
33:30This is the yoghurt maker step.
33:31James, take a yoghurt out of the fridge.
33:34Invisional seven.
33:35Take a yoghurt out of the fridge.
33:37Let me show you what the yoghurt looks like.
33:39Straight out of the fridge.
33:40This is what it's going to look like when you take it out of the fridge.
33:42Take the lid off and wobble it to the camera.
33:44Shake that thick, creamy yoghurt.
33:45So here, here it is.
33:47Shake that creamy yoghurt to me, James.
33:48Shake that creamy yoghurt to me, James.
33:49Fresh, creamy, olive bacteria.
33:50Look at that.
33:51It's fresh.
33:52It's creamy.
33:53And I tell you what.
33:54It's solid.
33:55Don't shake it and wobble it and smile.
33:58My producer's telling me not to drop it all over the place.
34:01But I tell you what.
34:02This is delicious.
34:03Put your finger in it.
34:04This is so solid.
34:05I'm going to stick my finger in it.
34:06Go on.
34:07Put it in your mouth.
34:08Well done.
34:09Well done.
34:10I tell you what.
34:11That is delicious.
34:12That's so delicious.
34:13Not bad.
34:14Different style.
34:15Not bad.
34:16He repeats himself a lot.
34:18And that's maybe what is needed.
34:19Not as professional as Miracle.
34:20But good.
34:21It's good.
34:22Sorry, guys.
34:23We're going to go to item number...
34:24Fuck.
34:25Where is it?
34:26We're going to go to item number seven, which is the light.
34:27The light?
34:28Yes.
34:29Torch.
34:30Torch.
34:31Make sure he's got the torch, Sarah.
34:32Torch.
34:33Torch.
34:34Torch.
34:35Okay.
34:36This here is the two...
34:37Oh, in video.
34:38Yes.
34:39Torch.
34:40Torch.
34:41Torch.
34:42Two million candle power toys.
34:45Now play with your toy.
34:47Show them the big face at the front.
34:49It's got a wonderful, wonderful big face at the front.
34:52That is two million candles worth.
34:54People are phoning in.
34:55They like what you're doing with it.
34:57Keep it on this product.
34:58It's fantastic.
34:59We've got a lot of people interested in this, so give us a call.
35:03I'm going to give you some key points here, and I want you to repeat them after me.
35:09And it's really, really amazing quartz highlight.
35:12Stop saying really and follow what I'm saying.
35:14So this is a quartz halogen spotlight.
35:17Completely versatile.
35:18And it's completely versatile.
35:19It's high quality.
35:20It's high quality.
35:21Maintenance free.
35:22It's high quality.
35:23Maintenance free product.
35:24Where do you want to go?
35:26Where do you want to go?
35:27I don't know.
35:28We're going to have to stay here then.
35:29I want to go to item number eight, your true sleeper.
35:34Item number eight, please.
35:35We're going to go over to the mat room.
35:36Oh, let's go to dining room quickly, guys.
35:39Walk slowly.
35:40We're going to go over to our next product.
35:43True sleeper.
35:44True sleeper and bonus pillows.
35:47Bed and bonus pillows.
35:49It's viscoelastic foam.
35:51Why push my fingers down there?
35:53It's coming back to its original shape here.
35:56Of course it's coming back to its original shape.
35:58It's a lump of bloody foam, that's why.
36:00Viscoelastic foam.
36:02What a lot of bollocks.
36:03What a parlour took that is there, honestly.
36:06A lump of bloody foam for £154.
36:09I'll tell you what, son, you sell any of them,
36:12you're a bloody good salesman, that's all I can say.
36:15But Sir Alan is about to be forced to eat his words.
36:19You've got people interested in this already, James.
36:22Well done.
36:2320% of the double has already gone.
36:26Oh, I'm just hearing from Sarah, my producer,
36:2820% of the double has already gone.
36:31So come on, keep calling.
36:33This is good.
36:34This is where they're better than Miriam.
36:37I've got to tell you, just winding people up.
36:40James, listen to me.
36:42Listen to me, James.
36:44We have sold out of the double mattress, true sleeper.
36:49We've just sold out of the double sleeper mattresses.
36:52So if you're thinking of calling for one of these items, they sell out fast.
36:56We've sold out now.
36:57You better get in quick.
36:58You better, come on.
36:59This is, I mean, the oldest trick in the book, obviously.
37:01But £154 a pop, they sold 10.
37:04That's £1500.
37:05You see, this is a classic example.
37:07You sell one of those, and you've got to sell, what, nearly 15 of the torches.
37:12We're going to move on to the next item, because this is really special.
37:17This is the wolf jacket.
37:18Can we have a jacket for James?
37:19Jacket.
37:20James.
37:21Have a look at Nina with the jacket.
37:22James, let me get the jacket.
37:23How about if I try one of the jackets on myself?
37:26Because I tell you what, these are brilliant.
37:29The wolf jacket lights up the switchboard, and immediately becomes a top seller.
37:34It's really, really good.
37:35Lovely, warm, comfortable feeling.
37:38This is warm, dry, comfortable.
37:39Put it on, James.
37:40Put it on.
37:41I'm going to put this on nice and carefully here.
37:43James, it comes in sizes.
37:45And it also comes in a number of sizes.
37:47I'm just trying to find the arm here.
37:49Imagine yourself walking the dog on a cold day.
37:53It's like wearing a duvet out there.
37:56It's like a second-hand car salesman with that jacket on there.
37:59Would you buy a car from him?
38:01Different style to Miriam.
38:02Different style.
38:03They seem to be spending far more time on each product.
38:07But, of course, time will tell.
38:09Here's our premiere product.
38:10This is the powerful 2 million candle power spotlight.
38:14One minute, James.
38:15We've only got 56 seconds.
38:17Show it to the camera, James.
38:19That's it.
38:20Show the face.
38:22Put your finger around the face.
38:24And then look at the way that it works there.
38:27Well done.
38:28It's been one of our best sellers this evening.
38:29Twenty seconds.
38:30Stand by, please.
38:31Premiere products.
38:32All I can say is you've seen some wonderful, wonderful products tonight.
38:36In ten.
38:37Nine.
38:38Eight.
38:39Seven.
38:40Six.
38:41Five.
38:42Four.
38:43Three.
38:44Two.
38:45One.
38:46Zero.
38:48Two.
38:49I just can't believe you've just done that.
38:54I mean, I like to work under pressure, but my God, this is pressure.
39:00Big pressure.
39:01Oh!
39:02Oh!
39:03Sweetheart!
39:04Oh!
39:05Sweetheart!
39:06Oh!
39:07Sweetheart!
39:08I'm so sorry for a burst of ear.
39:12Did you...
39:13You got louder and louder!
39:16Because you weren't fucking listening!
39:18Next morning, Sir Alan heads for the boardroom.
39:35The five remaining apprentices await their fate.
39:48Yes, okay. You can go through to the boardroom now.
40:18Morning. Well, it is the first time that I've really been able to watch the whole task myself, because I sat and watched it at home.
40:30Did you buy anything? Not from you, I wouldn't. No, no. But, Miriam, I thought you were absolutely spectacular.
40:36It was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life.
40:38James, considering, considering from what I heard that you had a foghorn blasting in your ear all the time, it didn't do too bad.
40:48So, team leader here was? Me. Right. Product choice, then.
40:52The boys had to do it, because that was in the scheme of things.
40:55So I felt, you know, as project manager, I had to at least do some effective delegation, and I gave them some parameters, things that I would want from the products they chose.
41:03A lot of people buy from a presenter, rather than buying a product.
41:07So people will look at us going, who are these new people trying to talk to us about products?
41:12You didn't look like a new person, I've got to tell you that.
41:14Sarah, when you finally decided that he was going to be the front man, was it then you that chose all the products?
41:22That's right. I basically did the same process as them, went to see all the buyers, and my key criteria in the back of my mind was,
41:29what is an exclusive product, if there is any, what could James handle on the night, and what can I sell effectively, and what would the audience want?
41:37Let's get round to these numbers now, shall we?
41:40Margaret?
41:40Look at these numbers.
41:41Impact, got 2017.
41:45Wow.
41:46Nick?
41:47Yeah?
41:47This is your team.
41:49My first four taste numbers.
41:51A staggering 5,407 pounds.
41:55Brilliant.
41:56Well done.
41:57Well done.
41:58Well done.
41:58Well done.
41:59That is a big gap, isn't it?
42:01A big gap.
42:02Very well done.
42:05Well done, guys.
42:06It's brilliant.
42:07Thank you. I cannot believe these bloody beds. Look at this. We sold out of the double, didn't we?
42:12Over £2,000 worth of foam. Unbelievable. We are in the wrong business, you are.
42:17I'll tell you what's going to happen. You've got a treat coming to you. You're going to Scebo Castle in Scotland.
42:22You're going to need to get on your bike soon because they've got a private jet lined up for you at Luton Airport.
42:27Archery, horse riding, golf lessons. On your way. Enjoy yourself. Thank you. Well done, guys.
42:32If impact, we'll see you back here in the boardroom where you know we're going to have to go through things and one of you eventually is going to get fired.
42:57Despite losing, I think Miriam was absolutely superb.
43:00They said that with minimal training, she could get a job there.
43:14Obviously, I'm feeling very disappointed. It's never nice to lose a task and once again, having done absolutely everything I possibly could have done and given over 100% of myself and to have lost is disappointing.
43:26The way Sir Alan was talking to Miriam, he thought that she was just a shining star.
43:33It doesn't look like he understands particularly that everything that came out of her mouth was coming from me and Tim.
43:38It was only for yoghurt that only needed the fridge. We really needed a kitchen for the group.
43:42It's going to be an interesting boardroom. Sir Alan's got to make a big decision now.
43:46It basically looks like it's between me and Paul.
43:47So that's not an exciting proposition for me to go into a boardroom in.
43:52If you ask this question, where do you think the money is?
43:54Paul didn't give as much as Tim did on the production side.
43:57I think that he has to be very careful about his attitude.
43:59I think he has to be careful about the way he treats people, his respect for women in business.
44:05An overall feeling I have is that, you know, he doesn't necessarily have the qualities to be the apprentice.
44:11We didn't even take 800 quid on them.
44:14That's how I think.
44:15The boardroom is such a cauldron, you never know what to expect.
44:19Sir Alan throws curveballs at everyone.
44:22So for me, it's about fighting my corner, doing what I have to do.
44:26Because he complimented me in the boardroom on my presenting skills that I'm safe from being fired.
44:31If he wants to fire me, he'll find a reason to fire me.
44:36I'm not defeated yet. I am going to fight in there.
44:38I'm not going to go in there and say, look, shall I go home?
44:40But I've fought three times before, two against one, and I've won.
44:43You know, if 100 people tell you you're dead, lie down.
44:51Off we go.
44:55Oh, you can really feel everything, can't you?
45:00My God!
45:01Woo!
45:04Bye, boardroom.
45:06See ya.
45:07Bye, boardroom.
45:10Oh, well done.
45:13Look at you.
45:15Here's to another victory.
45:17Yeah.
45:18A really, really great victory.
45:19And well done.
45:20Yeah.
45:20You did a brilliant job.
45:21So did you.
45:22Good teamwork.
45:23Great teamwork.
45:23Fantastic.
45:24Well done.
45:24Perfect.
45:25I don't know if I can use the right words to justify how I feel, but this place is totally, amazingly beautiful.
45:40I've done the best that I can, and I know that when I do the best, I do get good results, so being in the top four is a big tip in the box for me.
45:48I think I wanted to win this task more than any of the previous ones, because having been in the boardroom before, I didn't want to be there again.
45:58And, you know, the inspiration to win was just huge.
46:02Oh, yes, that is good.
46:04And there's still so much to play for.
46:06You know, there's the job to work for Sir Alan.
46:09That is the biggest treat of all, in my eyes.
46:12It just gets better and better, doesn't it?
46:18Now the game changes.
46:19Up till now, it's been teamwork.
46:21It's been working together, all that.
46:23It's just Sir Alan and his wolf jacket.
46:26Now it's an individual, one-on-one, head-on clash.
46:42For the three losers, it's time to face Sir Alan.
46:57Francis, could you send the three of them in place?
46:59You need to really tell me, throughout the next series of questions that I'm going to ask you all here,
47:19why I shouldn't fire you.
47:22I was convinced, until I actually saw James come on with his stuff,
47:26that you were going to win hands down.
47:28Why do you think you didn't?
47:29There are several reasons.
47:30It's not all about presenting.
47:32A lot of it's about the product, because ultimately the product is what you're trying to sell.
47:36And I think that even though the products the guys picked were good,
47:40there were some products that would just sell,
47:42regardless of what you said about them, regardless of how you tried to present them.
47:45And we didn't have any of those products.
47:47The two chaps chose the products, right?
47:50Yes.
47:50So are you implying to me that they made a bad choice?
47:53I'm saying that product selection was absolutely key,
47:55and I'm saying that they weren't necessarily as in tune with their potential audience.
48:01So chaps, what was in your head when you were thinking about the products you were selecting from the list?
48:06I had put down that we thought we could sell about 50 grills at 40 quid each, so that was two grand.
48:11So when we went to see the bloke that actually sold the grills,
48:14we said, how many do you think we could sell of these grills in this time span at that slot?
48:18He said, easy, 100.
48:19So I said, well, I've put down 50.
48:21He said, well, you can double that.
48:22Why didn't you sell 100?
48:24I don't know.
48:24If I knew that, then I'd be working there and making a fortune.
48:27We left from the building rather jubilant, maybe a bit too cocky in retrospect, that we had the better list.
48:35We went home very happy.
48:36Was that because you thought you pulled a fast one on Sire, or because you thought you got good products?
48:41Both aspects of that.
48:42The fact is, I held a very good negotiation in terms of I knew what I wanted,
48:46giving me all of her information in terms of the products she wanted.
48:48With hindsight, because I didn't know which products were better, the products I'd picked weren't the best ones,
48:54and she was left with the better products anyway.
48:56Get yourself in that situation, then.
48:58Lack of knowledge of the product?
48:59Lack of knowledge.
49:00Lack of knowledge.
49:00We had six minutes, don't forget, Tim.
49:02Backfired on you?
49:04I mean, the strategy of yours was that what you were trying to do was be dead shrewd, drop dead shrewd.
49:08Let Sire talk first, see what she wants, and be belligerent in saying, well, I want that also.
49:15There's nothing wrong with being belligerent, sir, Alan.
49:17And it works in terms of what you do.
49:18Well, it don't work in terms of what I do.
49:20If I was sitting there, and there was a list of products there, and I didn't actually agree with what the person said,
49:25I wouldn't, for the sake of it, just say I'm going to have the same, to be disruptive.
49:29I'd think, good luck to you, dear.
49:30You want that.
49:31That's your luck, but I'm going to have this.
49:33You pretended you wanted some things, so that she would then have to give up some of the things she wanted,
49:38and it backfired. You were in a complete muddle after she left, trying to get your list sorted.
49:44I don't think that's unfair, Margaret. We weren't in a fair.
49:46We're? Oh, hold on a minute.
49:47There's me thinking that we're running a dog-eat-dog business, and we're talking about fair.
49:51Listen, son, we don't do fair here. The only fair you're going to get here is your bloody train fair home.
49:59I'm minded, actually, to invite the team leader to perhaps tell me who, if I was prepared to let someone swim off back to the house,
50:08who would you want that someone to be?
50:15Probably Tim.
50:16How do you feel about that, Paul? Would you expect that answer to have come out of Miriam's mouth?
50:23Yes.
50:24Do you think it's based on this project, or do you think it's more deep-rooted?
50:28Miriam thinks I'm an arrogant git, and she thinks that Tim isn't, so there you are.
50:35I see. Are you an arrogant git?
50:38I'm not, but if I'm good at something, I don't mind telling everyone that I'm good at it.
50:44Who's responsible, out of you three here, do you think, for this team not winning?
50:53Miriam.
50:58And why?
50:59We didn't know exactly what products to get, so we got lots of them.
51:04Because we took 15 to her, there was no excuse for picking the wrong products.
51:08She was happy with the products that day, and it looks like, in the end, the product didn't win the day for us.
51:14Tell me something. Not once in the hour did I ever hear her say,
51:18right, people, members of the public out there, we've sold 166 of these, they're going very, very well.
51:25We've done our bit, Miriam's chose which information to relate.
51:28Now, the fact is, she did a good job. You've said it yourself, she did a good presenting.
51:32Then we were giving her information. If she doesn't audio link it, you don't see that sort of thing.
51:36Well, she might have done a good presenting job here.
51:38I'm still at sea about whether she'd done a good job as a team manager.
51:43Once I have understood, Miriam, that I will be fed by some person over an earpiece,
51:49immediately I would have said, I only want one of you at a time.
51:52It was something that I left in their hands, but I told them that I wanted them to split...
51:55No, no, why'd you leave it in their hands?
51:57Because I told them...
51:57It should have been a direction from you.
51:59I directed them to split the responsibility of production...
52:02Well, split means to me half an hour you, half an hour then.
52:06Doesn't mean let him talk for 30 seconds and you talk for 30 seconds, surely.
52:10I don't think that you two in particular have given me a good enough explanation
52:16in the current task that we're discussing.
52:19But on the other hand, I think Miriam made fatal, fatal error.
52:24Fatal error in not making sure that she only had one of you there
52:29and didn't actually give you more direction.
52:33Off you go outside.
52:34I'm going to have a little bit more time to think about this.
52:36But whatever happens, one of you is going to get fired.
52:39I think Tim hasn't said much today to justify what he has done on this task.
53:02Miriam could have carried off that job without either of them being at the end.
53:06I thought they added precious little.
53:08She's got a lot to answer to, Nick.
53:10I'm sorry.
53:11The mistake she made was not controlling them.
53:14She had no hand in the product mix, all right?
53:16They did, all right?
53:18And they were poor producers.
53:19That's the truth of it.
53:20They were poor producers.
53:21And of the two poor producers, Tim was streets ahead of Paul.
53:25Well, I think, you know, that Miriam could have said,
53:29I only want one of you talking.
53:31But that's her fault.
53:32That is her fault.
53:34Sorry, that is her fault and no one else's.
53:36I mean, as I said, you'd have respect for her if she would have said,
53:40this isn't a job for two people.
53:41Don't both talk.
53:45Yes.
53:45Frances, could you send the three of them in, please?
53:50Tim, first time, really, you've been in the firing line.
54:05Honestly, not impressed.
54:07You haven't convinced me why I shouldn't fire you today,
54:10to be perfectly frank with you.
54:12I'm struggling.
54:15Miriam, past performances, possibly.
54:18Paul, you are a renegade.
54:21An absolute renegade.
54:23The thing is, I see a lot of me in you,
54:25so I'm not too worried about you, actually.
54:27You'll go on in life,
54:29and perhaps you'll learn a little bit more
54:31to temper down that temper of yours,
54:33so you get on with people.
54:35I'm sorry, Paul.
54:36I'm very sorry.
54:37I do like you as a person.
54:39I'm sorry to have these say these things to you.
54:45But I'm even more sorry when I've got to tell you, Miriam,
54:48you're fired.
54:54Thanks for the experience.
54:55It was amazing.
55:01Tough one.
55:02Tough one.
55:03And you two have got a lot to think about tonight
55:08when you put your head on the pillow.
55:09I think I was truthful in the end
55:19as to what it boiled down to.
55:21But she didn't manage them in the task.
55:24But she didn't.
55:26Hang in there and do your best you can, now.
55:28Take that.
55:32No past issues.
55:34Anything.
55:34I hope you know that.
55:37See ya.
55:41What the hell happened there?
55:43But when he came straight to me,
55:44I thought, that's it.
55:46You know, I started straightening my tie.
55:47I see a lot of you in me.
55:49But Paul, it breaks my heart.
55:50Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
55:51I thought, start the engine.
55:53Mim, you're fired.
55:59Paul is a tiger.
56:01He's a tiger.
56:03I'm perhaps thinking that he might be able to change.
56:05Tim, he stayed here today
56:07simply because of past performance.
56:09If you had to judge it on today,
56:11he's a goner.
56:12You know I've made mistakes in the past.
56:14Maybe I've made a mistake here.
56:16But we'll see.
56:31I think that it was Paul's time to go
56:32in terms of what I've seen of him
56:34in terms of past tasks,
56:35in terms of his attitude,
56:36in terms of his, you know,
56:38the way he works.
56:38Yeah, I think it was definitely his time to go.
56:41I'm very, very surprised Paul's got this far.
56:45I'm glad to see that it wasn't an easy decision
56:47for Sir Alan.
56:48That is somewhat flattering.
56:50And, no, I feel fine.
56:51I feel that, you know,
56:52he gave some reasons as to, you know,
56:54why he'd fired me.
56:55And one is that I hadn't made a decision
56:57regarding their production style,
56:59which he felt was a fatal error.
57:00I personally don't agree
57:01because I think it was product choice
57:02that actually was more responsible.
57:07One job.
57:08Now just four candidates.
57:11Sir Alan's search for his apprentice continues.
57:13Next week on The Apprentice,
57:18the final four are put under the microscope.
57:21What's going to happen is,
57:22is that you lot are going to go through
57:24a gruelling interview.
57:27She's a very forceful woman.
57:29I've got a problem with you.
57:31OK?
57:31I don't think I've pissed anybody off, Sir Alan.
57:33I'm equal to any man out there.
57:35Who do you think is going to win?
57:37Me.
57:37Are you here for the money?
57:39Money's a part of it.
57:40I just think there's a lack of substance there.
57:43Out of the ten tasks that we've done today,
57:45I've been on the winning team eight times.
57:46Of the four,
57:47he's the only one that could do it.
57:49I tend to get on with most people.
