00:00This is not a game. This is a 12-week job interview. It's a dog-eat-dog situation.
00:1314 people have come to London in search of a job.
00:18There is no phone-in here. There is no text number. There is no panel of judges.
00:25I'm the one that decides who gets fired, and I'm going to be the one, ultimately, who decides who gets hired.
00:33They've come to battle it out for a job with Sir Alan Sugar.
00:37I am the most belligerent person that you could ever come across.
00:41Tough and straight-talking, Sir Alan's built a business empire worth £800 million.
00:48Business is not about coming, piss my money up the wall.
00:52He's offering one job with a six-figure salary.
00:56To get it, they're going to have to live and work together.
01:00Don't fucking dick me around. I'm getting pissed off with it.
01:03Quite frankly, I'd like to get rid of the bleeding free of you.
01:06This is the ultimate job interview.
01:09You're fired. You're fired. You're a lightweight. You're fired.
01:12Previously on The Apprentice, the candidates met for the first time, and they had to choose a company name.
01:28I like Velocity.
01:29Who got our name? Velocity.
01:33The A-T.
01:34The A-T.
01:37After much debate, the boys, led by Ben, finally settled on Invicta.
01:42I mean, no disrespect, sorry.
01:43You don't think that's a bit complex.
01:45But the A-T, it's a bit silly.
01:46I think let's try and hold back on criticising straight away.
01:49Sir Alan set the first business challenge.
01:51To buy and sell fruit and vegetables.
01:55325. Last price.
01:57You're all right, then.
01:57OK.
01:58Saeed negotiated hard, and Invicta sold well.
02:02Come on, let's go. It's got to go today, and it's absolutely best prices.
02:06Sexy women, good-looking girls, why not use it?
02:10The girls, led by Karen, paid almost nothing.
02:13They used sex to buy and to sell.
02:17These are very ripe and cheesy.
02:19We are pulling in the crowds massively. It's amazing.
02:23In the boardroom, Velocity's tactics almost backfired.
02:26This is not business. What you've done was not business.
02:29But they made more money and won the task.
02:33Ben chose Samuel and Saeed to join him in the firing lines.
02:37Now, what I find very shocking is that...
02:39Please finish, Saeed.
02:40This is a sign of a bad leader. I have not lost my cool.
02:43Saeed, all I keep hearing you doing is blaming this fellow over here,
02:46and I've got a big problem with that.
02:48But, Ben, you're fired.
02:52I think you did a bad job as a project manager.
02:55Ben became the first casualty of the boardroom.
02:58Now, 13 remain to fight for the chance to become the apprentice.
03:02At the house, the others wait to see who survived the boardroom.
03:14If you're in the boardroom, you just get tongue-tied.
03:33Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
03:35Unbelievable.
03:36But you won because you were better than us.
03:39OK.
03:40Right?
03:41So forget all the bullshit I'm saying that, well, we weren't happy about this.
03:45Forget it.
03:45They were better than us.
03:4613 candidates left, and time to relax before the call from Sir Alan's office.
03:55Oh, you fucker.
04:00Hello, it's Ansel speaking.
04:02Thanks very much. Bye-bye.
04:04Should we get everyone done?
04:05Right, OK, everybody, should we go in the kitchen?
04:08Yeah.
04:10Tomorrow, we need to go to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
04:17And cars will be picking us up at quarter to seven.
04:21Ah!
04:21Ah!
04:22Oh, you bitch!
04:22Don't get a look at that.
04:24Don't do risk.
04:25Can you miss me?
04:35Ah!
04:35Ah!
04:37Ah!
04:44Ah!
04:45Ah!
04:46Ah!
04:47Ah!
04:49Ah!
04:49Great Ormond Street Hospital treats 90,000 children a year.
05:00Its charity raises millions, and Sir Alan is one of its biggest benefactors.
05:13Good morning.
05:14Good morning, Sir Alan.
05:16Now you may be wondering what we're doing here at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
05:21Many of you will know it is admired throughout the world by everybody in the medical industry.
05:27They do fantastic work here.
05:29One of the big problems they've got is they've always got no money.
05:34And here we are standing today in a brand new operating theatre, and they need more.
05:39The task today is you're going to produce two themed calendars
05:45on behalf of the Great Ormond Street charity.
05:48And you will be pitching your calendars to three major retailers in this country for real.
05:57The bottom line is the team that makes the most amount of money for this great institution is going to win.
06:03And the team that doesn't, one of you, will get fired.
06:08During the task, Nick and Margaret will be Sir Alan's eyes and ears.
06:14The teams have just three days. They must produce calendars for sale next Christmas.
06:19Nargis has volunteered to lead Velocity.
06:23Why don't we just actually go straight to deciding a theme, I think.
06:27Let's decide a theme straight away.
06:30Early research suggests pets sell the most calendars.
06:34We're deciding on what theme we're going to use.
06:37Are we going to use cats and dogs?
06:39My first choice would be cats.
06:42Yes.
06:43That's the question.
06:44People in Birmingham won't be buying it just because it's going to Great Ormond Street.
06:47They'll be buying it because it's got kittens in there.
06:49Tell me how this relates to children, then.
06:52It's the cats and dogs that sell the most.
06:55Cute cats don't do it for me.
06:57But the team are actually making that decision.
06:59Yeah.
07:00So how could it be wrong if the team are making the decision?
07:02I think we need to be more creative.
07:04The negativity and the fact that when we go forward you take us back is actually wasting
07:08a lot of our time here and a lot of our energy.
07:11Your points of view are very valuable, right?
07:14But we really need to move on.
07:16Can I just say one word?
07:18I don't really fundamentally believe in the stylish cats and dogs.
07:21I think it's bollocks.
07:22We've heard you say that.
07:23Now, as a team, the rest of us have decided to go with this.
07:28Are you going to play?
07:30What do you think?
07:31What?
07:32That really pisses me.
07:33What do you think I'm going to do?
07:34You have to just draw a line under it and say, I said no, and if it all goes tits
07:38up, you can hold your hand up and say, I did that.
07:41However, you have to be able to show that you're 100% on board.
07:45To my mind, we should be having some feel in there about what Great Ormond Street says.
07:50You know, I mean, I was thinking that we should get in contact with some of the flipping
07:53kids that have survived from here and we do tell some stories.
07:56I'll tell you what, I've got a friend, I know this, who sent me a card in the post
08:01and some of you have seen it, that's got a child with heart problems and she would
08:05fucking love to put her little story on it.
08:07And I know, because she tells me.
08:09We had discussed this earlier, we've been through all of this and that's why we've decided
08:14on cats.
08:15This place is about inspiration, it's about kids and it's about colours, it's not about
08:23all cute cats and that's why I'll keep going in there until they convince me the other way
08:28around.
08:29So just keep an eye on time as we're going through the day, that will really help.
08:34Invicta have elected Samuel to manage the team.
08:37A product innovator at Ford, he's used to running brainstorms.
08:43I just want to make a point about something, right, in terms of brainstorming and coming
08:47up with ideas.
08:48So, one way you can brainstorm ideas is we can just all have a free-for-all.
08:53So you can brainstorm ideas, right, all over the shop, okay, and you might hit, here's
08:58your target, okay, and you might hit the target and you might not.
09:02The second way that you can brainstorm, brainstorm, criteria, filter.
09:12I think simplicity is the way forward.
09:14You know, what we need to do is decide on a theme.
09:17Now, can we not just...
09:19No, I'm just...
09:20You need a process.
09:21Let's just have a guide on that.
09:22Let's just sort this out.
09:23It'll work in the end, okay?
09:24In three minutes we need to change everything.
09:26Ansel, Saeed and Paul are very much pragmatists.
09:29They want to get on and do things.
09:31They're salespeople.
09:32We need to come up with 13.
09:33We've got five.
09:34We're not moving on now.
09:35We need to get these down.
09:36Whereas Manny, Samuel, and to a degree myself, are theorists.
09:41We want a plan.
09:42We want to work out what we need to do and then execute it.
09:46So we can start, we can get a head start on the brainstorm and still carry on at 7pm.
09:50Look, I'm going to time everybody and I'm going to give everybody one minute.
09:53One minute?
09:54Suggest at one minute to get your ideas down because there's no discussion about the ideas.
09:57It's just bam bam bam bam bam bam bam.
09:59This is what we're negotiating.
10:00This is what we're talking about.
10:01You're not discussing why.
10:03You're just getting it down.
10:04Can I just say something because I've got to leave you now for a short while.
10:08I'm not desperately impressed so far by how you've been handling the task or by what you're proposing.
10:13You've got a time constraint but you've got to sell these calendars.
10:16Okay.
10:21We've been given clear signal.
10:22Yeah.
10:23Clear signal.
10:24That's interesting.
10:26Invicta has spent a huge amount of time discussing what they're going to discuss rather than actually getting on with it.
10:33You do need some time planning but not over an hour.
10:38This is still thinking in the box, right, of a theme.
10:42After hours of brainstorming, the boys finally come up with a simple idea.
10:47The obvious strategy is to go with babies.
10:49Yeah, hence the reason why.
10:53Okay, are we all in... Joe, can you come and join in?
10:57Joe is still against kittens but the rest of the team move on to discuss design.
11:03One decision that's made is the calendar's going to be extremely cute and extremely simple, stylish and chic.
11:11That's what we're doing.
11:12That's the vision for the rest of the...
11:13Plus it's stylish, contemporary, no. Big mistake.
11:15We're talking about white backgrounds, fairly modern, fairly different.
11:18Different shots.
11:19We're going to play, we're going to have action.
11:21It's subtle.
11:22It's just stylish.
11:24That is a Great Ormond Street publication, right?
11:26That is not white and contemporary.
11:28That is bright in your face and a little guy on there.
11:30It's not cute cats.
11:32You are a bit pissed off because it's not what you want, but actually you have to say...
11:35I just think it's a wrong decision for the two of us.
11:36Well, I know, but it's too late for that, Joe. You have to come on board.
11:39Joe, I need an opinion.
11:40That's all. You have to come on board.
11:42Joe, Joe. Contemporary, timeless, classic. That's why we're doing that.
11:46You are going with it.
11:47Yeah.
11:48That's it. Final. Final. That's it.
11:51Yeah.
11:52Let's just move on to the next bit and start working through things.
11:56She is taking a lot of my time trying to keep her calm, trying to explain everything to her.
12:03What I'm asking for, Michelle, and I'll answer your question, is the why's.
12:06I'm a pharmacist, so I do work in the medical profession, and I have had personal experience in my personal life with dealing with needy people, I suppose might be the right phrase, or people that need care and attention.
12:19I'm going through the booklet to tell us the key stages.
12:23I know.
12:24Sorry. No, forgive me. I'll get on with it.
12:26I think absolutely people associate tears with weakness and everything like that.
12:31Yeah, of course it gets into trouble, because people don't like it, do they?
12:33People like people that go, oh, yeah, that's very nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:36But when it's got your name on it, that's why that calendar, when that's got my name on it, I want to sit there and stand and be proud of it.
12:42It just, it has to be detached, not open it.
12:44There's nothing wrong with having high expectations in life.
12:46It's just that some people don't have those high expectations, some people don't show them, and some people don't like it.
12:52Just going to... Perfect.
12:56Confident with their baby theme, the boys press on.
12:59This baby's going to be a doctor, this baby's going to be a businessman, this baby's going to be an astronaut, and then actually dress them up and all this.
13:06So the first shot, let's agree the first shot, which is a business baby, all right?
13:10Don, are you all right with this? You keep it up?
13:12Yeah, get on with it, get on with it.
13:13That's the first one.
13:14Doctor.
13:15Doctor baby.
13:16Space.
13:17Astronaut baby.
13:18That's wicked.
13:19That's wicked.
13:20That's really good.
13:21Yeah.
13:22Just, what else?
13:23Did you get a policeman?
13:24No.
13:25I think mechanic is good, just that you're mechanic, because you've got a spanner and you know...
13:28Oh, do you know, a Formula One racer, that would be amazing.
13:30With their theme and design agreed, props for tomorrow's photo shoot are next on the list for Paul and Said.
13:41Doctor baby.
13:42Doctor.
13:43Okay, well let's go this way and have a look at the doctors.
13:45That's right.
13:46That's a good start.
13:47Maybe we want to get some of this stuff in there as well.
13:49Okay.
13:50Bed pan.
13:51Should I?
13:52Yeah, yeah, brilliant.
13:53Builder, yeah.
13:57Police person, handcuffs I think we should just leave straight out because, oh, what do you reckon?
14:02We could handcuff them together, but we don't want to look as though we're handcuffing kids.
14:05No.
14:06You know what I mean?
14:07Yeah, I mean, that's fine.
14:13On their way back, Ansel's half of the team want to buy some calendars to help them understand the market.
14:19But spending must be approved by Sam.
14:22It's a good investment, I think, to buy some calendars.
14:25Okay, yeah, exactly.
14:26And what we should do is specifically go for charity calendars.
14:28Yeah.
14:29Okay, pick up the phone.
14:30Tell them what we're doing.
14:31It's worth the call.
14:32Tell them what we're doing.
14:33I just think we should always cover our back because...
14:34Okay, yeah, tell them what we're doing.
14:35You know for a fact, though, he's going to say yes.
14:41Hi, Sam.
14:42Yeah, hi.
14:43Yeah, hello, mate.
14:44Basically, we've just come up with a fantastic idea.
14:46We're out shopping.
14:47We might buy some calendars.
14:48Guys, so explain why you want to do it, exactly.
14:51We'll come back and we'll let you guys guess how much they cost us.
14:54Sayed, when I was on the internet, they seemed to cost between £5 and £12.
15:00Mate, listen, we need to buy them for design and innovation ideas.
15:03No, no, that's what we're going to do when we go back.
15:05Because we're not wasting money, I'll tell you.
15:07Okay, great.
15:08Thanks.
15:09Cheers.
15:10Right, okay, is this the...
15:11That's fine, fine, fine.
15:12Let's talk about that later.
15:13Can I just say, guys, that is a mistake.
15:16That is a mistake.
15:17Guys, we've got to be honest with them when we get back.
15:22Listen, listen.
15:23If we're going to raise this, yeah, be conscious because we're 50% of the tape.
15:27If we are going to raise this, we do this professionally.
15:31Fine.
15:32Are we all singing off the same machine?
15:33Yes.
15:34Are we all going to back each other up?
15:35Yes.
15:39Back at the house, Ansel's half of the team confront project manager Sam.
15:45I am, to be honest, very concerned.
15:50And I'm just being brutally honest about that.
15:53Okay?
15:54We're going to lose it.
15:55That's just my personal opinion.
15:57Maybe it's just me coming from left field.
15:59We can get this back.
16:00It's early enough.
16:01At this point as well, I think I'm going to have to back Ansel up a little bit.
16:04From my point of view, for getting things on the table,
16:07I think where we are now is strong still.
16:11I think we just went a really long way around it today.
16:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:14But, you know, that's it.
16:16Okay.
16:17Anyone else?
16:18Yeah.
16:19I've heard so much planning today.
16:20All day we were planning.
16:22Okay?
16:23We still don't have anything on paper.
16:24At the moment we've done some design, yeah.
16:26We've done some research on the internet.
16:27I agree with that.
16:28Do you know what I've done on the internet?
16:29Have you bothered asking me?
16:30No, listen.
16:31Why are you being confrontational?
16:32I'm just telling you what we thought in the car.
16:34What you said was, we don't know pricing.
16:36We don't, we do fucking well know pricing.
16:38Because I've done it.
16:39Hold on, hold on.
16:40Hold on.
16:41Hold on.
16:42Okay.
16:43And experience, Manny.
16:44I really expect a bit more professionalism in this, in this matter.
16:47I'm not being confrontational.
16:48I'm just clearly stating facts that we have discussed.
16:51That's all it is.
16:52I, I trust you guys.
16:53You know, you went out to get the props.
16:55Yeah.
16:56You've got the props.
16:57I've been on the internet.
16:58I've looked at designs.
16:59I've looked at pricing.
17:00Why don't you trust that I've done that?
17:01We can't have another day like today or tomorrow.
17:03Yeah.
17:04Yeah.
17:05And I think one thing that Ansel touched on was you.
17:09We need you to lead the team.
17:12So, the purpose of this meeting, Alexa.
17:18With kittens and a modern design agreed, Nargis calls a meeting.
17:22We're pretty prepped, aren't we?
17:23I do think that we're quite organised, which is surprisingly worrying.
17:25Isn't it?
17:26Yeah.
17:27We know exactly what we've got to do when we've got to do this.
17:30But Joe's downstairs, in the kitchen.
17:52Day two.
17:53In 12 hours, the teams must shoot, design and write,
17:56a sales pitch for their calendars.
18:02Both teams split in two.
18:04One half in charge of the shoot,
18:06the other responsible for design and presentation.
18:09It's a key that we capture when we get the moment with every single baby,
18:12because it's key that we get the right look.
18:15We're playing with the babies.
18:17Good morning, everybody.
18:19How do you do?
18:20Hi, how are you?
18:21Fine, thanks.
18:22Thank you for bringing your lovely babies along.
18:24Oh, no, no, no, no.
18:27The teams will have to direct professional photographers.
18:32They need 12 great shots, one for each month.
18:35There you go, quick.
18:36We don't want anything climbing out of plant pots or anything like that.
18:39We want something that's quite contemporary, quite sharp, quite classy.
18:43I think it's getting a bit lively.
18:45Too late.
18:47There you go.
18:48Another brick.
18:49Oh!
18:50Oh!
18:51Oh!
18:52Oh!
18:53Oh!
18:54Oh!
18:55Oh!
18:56Oh!
18:57Oh!
18:58Oh!
18:59Oh!
19:00Oh!
19:01Oh!
19:02Oh!
19:03Oh!
19:05Oh!
19:06Oh!
19:07Oh my gosh.
19:08Look at that!
19:09Oh!
19:12Oh!
19:13Oh!
19:14Oh my gosh!
19:17Look at that.
19:18Stunning.
19:19That is amazing.
19:20That is stunning.
19:21As soon as they're shot, the images are emailed to Manny and Dunn in the design studio.
19:35What do you think? First impressions?
19:43Financial consultant Dunn is in charge of the calendar layout.
19:47He must hit a strict 9pm print deadline.
19:50That's fine, that's fine. Is it the same grey colour?
19:53Can you throw that back to red again?
19:56I'm a control freak. I need to know.
19:59My attention to detail is, I feel second to none.
20:03The background for January the same as the background for the front.
20:06Unfortunately, yellows don't show up on the screens very well.
20:09I just think that's too pink. The grid doesn't stand out.
20:11Let's have a look at this.
20:12I prefer the one on the right, assuming that it goes to a white.
20:21Manny is busy writing his sales pitch.
20:25Tomorrow, he'll leave the negotiations.
20:27I am a complete expert in presenting, and I will knock the audience flat with anything you give me.
20:34It's what I do for a living.
20:36Every child has a right to a full, healthy and joyous life.
20:43In this truth, well, this truth, we hold as self-evident.
20:54The pitch is good. I'm really pleased with what I've done so far.
20:58To continue the tradition of outstanding child...
21:01Briefly, I've got an introduction, which is going to be quite emotive.
21:04I'm going to try to pull at their heartstrings.
21:07Ladies and gentlemen, you can help.
21:08It's a very short and succinct pitch, which is how I present.
21:13Because I present to senior people, and they like it that way.
21:18There's a photo. It's lovely.
21:20The girls' design team have received their first images.
21:24Now they're after that contemporary look.
21:26It's more subtle, isn't it? A bit more subtle, isn't it?
21:28A bit more subtle, isn't it? A bit more subtle, isn't it?
21:28A bit more stylish. Yeah.
21:30Nargis has given everyone key roles, except Jo, who's been asked to check facts on the Internet.
21:36My name is Nargis. I'm going to take 15 minutes of your time to...
21:42Tomorrow, Nargis will make the sales pitch, and she gets Karen, a lawyer, to help her write it.
21:47I'm going to take just a few moments of your time. Words like just.
21:51Yeah.
21:51I've never done negotiation or sales before.
21:53And as there was no other obvious person to do it, even though I've had no experience of pitching,
22:00I was confident of my abilities.
22:04That's what we're going to do.
22:05I'm going to show you.
22:06I've got to get the emphasis. That's the sort of thing I've got to practice at home.
22:10I think Nargis was not the right person to do the pitch.
22:13But what I can't work out is why everybody else thought it was a great thing.
22:19What's that?
22:20The boys get their last few shots.
22:24Hey.
22:30Manny, can you hear me?
22:31Yeah, the pitch is pretty much done.
22:33I've rehearsed it a few times, of course.
22:35Again, you know, it's the first cut.
22:38I know that we will absolutely blow them out of the water.
22:42What about the actual design of the calendar?
22:44How's that going?
22:45I think there's a lot of work to be done still, because what we now need to do is start playing
22:50around with colours.
22:51Yeah, OK.
22:52So, but there was some pre-work done on the calendar, and was there, I'm assuming, or...?
22:57You need to understand that there are so many variables.
23:00I mean, so many variables.
23:01So we're going to be playing around with all the variables within the framework that we've
23:05got.
23:05Oh, the guys are telling me they think they're going to be wrapped up in about an hour, and
23:09then we'll...
23:10That would be absolutely good.
23:11OK, and then we'll be with you shortly after that.
23:14Yep.
23:14Cheers, Samuel.
23:14Bye.
23:15Bye.
23:15Cheers.
23:15They reckon they'll be wrapped up by within an hour, and on their way.
23:22In light of that, there is a danger that we might not be finished by the time they get
23:25here, with colours and moods and all the rest of it.
23:28Oh, yeah, sure, sure.
23:29And, you know, there may be something that...
23:31From my sense, you know, we can do a lot of work, they can get here, and Samuel may not
23:36like it.
23:37And so, let's do what we can.
23:40When they get here, we've still got time to sort of...
23:43The reason I've got is that what will happen is there'll be six people...
23:45I know, I know.
23:46...with six different choice of colours.
23:47Yep.
23:49I'm not looking forward to this.
23:50This is going to be an imminent...
23:53Imminent...
23:54It's just going to be mayhem.
23:57Yeah, so it'll literally just be that shot...
23:59Six o'clock.
24:00With their shoot finished, the girls put the final touches to their design.
24:04Do we need to pick the Almond Street's logo on every page when we've got it at the beginning
24:08and at the end?
24:09Do we don't do it?
24:10No.
24:10I think it's too much, eh?
24:12Yeah.
24:13That is beautiful.
24:22Ruth and Michelle return from location and get their first look at the final product.
24:28I don't like the date.
24:29I don't like the font size for the date.
24:31You've got to let us just get on with it.
24:33You don't like the style of the date.
24:35We should be using this calendar.
24:37So, for example, if I'm going to buy it, I need to know when my Nana's birthday is or my friend's birthday
24:41because I'm going to be killed if I forget, and that's what my calendar's for, I do think
24:46we're going to run up in problems because, A, you can't use the calendar,
24:50and, B, you can't even see the dates unless you literally stand on top of it.
24:53But it's a contemporary design.
24:55It's a particular style.
24:56When you've got this on your kitchen wall, you can't see how it's a mistake.
25:00It's supposed to be a calendar, not a purse down.
25:02Right.
25:02After a long day, the boys return from their shoot, expecting Dun to have the design ready.
25:14You can see it, but it's not finished.
25:19There's quite a few things we have to do.
25:22Can we just decide on that order?
25:25Why?
25:25What's wrong with it?
25:25Oh, God.
25:26All proceeds from the set, what's wrong with that?
25:29We need to see them laid out, guys.
25:31So if we see them laid out, that's what we need.
25:34Can we just cut in a minute so that we can get cracking, yeah?
25:36Is that okay?
25:36Okay, thanks.
25:39Anyway.
25:40Yeah, sound.
25:41Good day.
25:42Yeah, definitely.
25:44Just watch my hands, I've got foot.
25:46I can't believe we're actually thinking now about not even getting it finished.
25:49I thought that was never an issue.
25:51No.
25:51We came here so calm, like, image of the done, laughing.
25:53You know, if we can't get this job done in at least 12-hour days, then it's not that difficult.
26:03It is not that difficult.
26:05Frustrated, the rest of the team take matters into their own hands.
26:09No, no.
26:10It's not.
26:10You might get some comments.
26:11Sorry, did I overhear you say about the quality of the image needs to be changed?
26:14Yeah, those are the two things in one.
26:15Well, let's do that, because we have to.
26:17Why?
26:18Proofread it first, and it'll be done.
26:19No, you've proofread it.
26:20It'll be done.
26:21Yeah.
26:21All right.
26:23With minutes to spare, the team decide to finish the layout themselves, without done.
26:34Okay, so we just added this little footnote, yeah?
26:36Yeah, done.
26:36Gosh, good.
26:37Nice, yeah, next.
26:39Yeah, good.
26:41That's cooking.
26:41Nice.
26:42Excellent.
26:44On March, look at the March heading.
26:47It's just too light.
26:47We need to change the background colour to make it black.
26:51Just make it black.
26:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:54Yeah, yeah.
26:56Just jump back, sorry.
26:57Guys, just jump back once more.
26:58Guys, come on, guys.
26:58It's three minutes.
26:59No, I know, I know.
27:00We can just change the text black, that's all.
27:01The only thing is, do you like one?
27:02A minute.
27:03Yeah.
27:03A minute here.
27:04That's it.
27:04I haven't read the back cover in detail, but we need to go with you guys.
27:07Well, I think that causes a round of applause for Mike.
27:09I mean, he's done a good job.
27:15Thank you very much, mate.
27:16Thank you very much.
27:16That put some pressure on.
27:18I was stressing there for our nine o'clock, I tell you now.
27:22I was stressing.
27:23Go on our way back.
27:24Okay.
27:25Guys, chill for a second, all right?
27:27Can I just go?
27:28We're tough.
27:29We can't make any change.
27:30No, we haven't.
27:30No, we haven't.
27:31We've done it.
27:31We've fixed it.
27:31Oh, you can't do it.
27:33Don't, just, mate, just, just.
27:44What's up, man?
27:45Talk to me.
27:55Seriously, leave me in my world, mate, otherwise I'm going to lose the part.
27:58You sure?
27:58Yeah, yeah, seriously.
27:59You sure?
27:59Yeah, I'm going to lose it.
28:00Come and, come and get me, talk to me when you're, when you feel bad, right?
28:04Right?
28:04Yeah.
28:04Dude, will you?
28:05Yeah, seriously.
28:06Will you do that?
28:06Promise me.
28:07Fine, fine, I promise you.
28:08Just leave me.
28:09Let me sort that out.
28:15I just, I don't want to have to sit here and spell out to people how hard I work.
28:22Hopefully, I expect them to see it.
28:25So I see how hard they work.
28:26I don't sit here and say, you've had an easy day playing with babies.
28:29I don't want to lose it.
28:30That calendar is amazing.
28:37I don't want to lose it.
28:38day three the calendars have been printed overnight the teams must try to sell as many
28:57as possible to three major retailers if successful the calendars will be sold in
29:05stores all over the country the more calendars they sell the more money they'll raise for the
29:27Great Ormond Street children's charity but Manny still hasn't settled on a retail price for the
29:35boys calendar we know the internet price is seven pounds yeah approximately I reckon I think that
29:40the shop price will be a couple pounds more than that you stay bound to be we don't have facts well
29:45no I know but what can we do now well I mean I think based on you know when you look at charity
29:50products is you know around that kind of price point there's probably a one or two pound price
29:56premium I thought we had this whole thing organized and designed this is 10 minutes before we got to
30:01that's the nature of it mate I mean you know and now we're doing this whole thing again I just feel
30:04really uncomfortable now I was comfortable I slept well shut the fuck up all right and just just if
30:09you're going to say something say something useful you know you feeling uncomfortable is not helping
30:13anyone is it a responsibility yesterday okay now why the fuck are you being so aggressive because
30:20you're talking crap why does crap always come out of your mouth if you've changed it if you've
30:24got nothing to say but you've changed it all you don't have a clue what we're doing mate I don't
30:28understand you don't have a clue what we're doing well why don't you explain yourself I can't be
30:32bothered to explain to you it'll take all day listen I have a lot of time for you and now I don't
30:36yeah you go way over here mate what's going on what's going on what's going on fucking hell this is
30:42unbelievable what's going on nothing now your entire pitch has changed I'm making a point of it
30:46okay listen listen listen listen the three of us please there's four of us here listen guys
30:52it's 8 30 it's 8 30 yeah I'm not bothered about who is this that and the other at this moment all
30:59I'm saying is 8 30 our calendar's here we've got stuff to put together that was a group we've got
31:03to make sure happens yeah so whatever views about how we've run things so far we've got half an hour
31:09to nail this before we're out of this house I think we should get it's really tough that these bloody
31:13tasks are so tough if we win I think I'll be speechless you know I'll just it's too it'll be
31:23overwhelming if we win because uh yeah I feel like you feel quite emotional emotional
31:30so
31:40so
31:42so
31:44so
31:48so
31:50so
31:52Still undecided on a retail price, the boys head off to their first sales pitch at Harrods Department Store.
32:22The middle ground, the middle ground being $9.99.
32:28David Miller.
32:29David.
32:30David, we're here to talk to you about Great Ormond Street Hospital.
32:35You know, I think, and forgive me if I become emotional because I'm very passionate about this cause.
32:42They give children, every child, a chance.
32:45You know, I think it's a truth that's self-evident, that every child should have the right to a full, healthy, joyous life.
32:56And this outfit gives these children that choice.
33:00We've designed a calendar that I'd like to show you and see if you're interested in selling this calendar at Harrods, the world's most famous retail store.
33:08Shall I just let you go through that in your own time?
33:11And if you've got any questions, please ask me.
33:15You must obviously have an indicative target price that you would like to say, we would like to sell this calendar to Harrods for.
33:23Yeah.
33:24That retail price conversation, is that something that we should do now?
33:28I think maybe if you'd like to come back to me with what retail price you believe is right for it, based on that, I'll then make a decision of whether or not we feel that is right for Harrods.
33:44The boys are given 15 minutes to come up with a price for their calendar.
33:48They will say it's too much.
33:50The first rule of negotiation is you know what you want to get out of this.
33:53We don't have a price up until now.
33:55We don't have a price.
33:56I think we have to have a consistent price in policy.
33:59You've got 12 minutes.
34:00And therefore, I think it's not a 99 price.
34:02If you're making that decision, I'll go back there and tell him.
34:05Yeah, please, please.
34:07Let's go back.
34:09No, just let Manny.
34:10Manny will just tell him what the price is.
34:12Hi, can I just take two minutes of your time?
34:15And could I give you a set price, retail price?
34:19Set my calendar.
34:209.99.
34:21And what we would like is if you could give us a unit price, bearing in mind that it's a charity calendar, bearing in mind it's a charity calendar, if you could give us a unit price of £7, that would be great.
34:40The teams will have to wait till evening to find out what orders have been placed.
34:44We got annihilated, we've come out with absolutely nothing.
34:48I still don't know what the retail price is.
34:50This is turning to an absolute deal.
34:51I can't believe they were asking us when we came outside, what do you think we should put the price on?
34:56Hey, 36 hours.
34:57This isn't 36 hours you've meant to be doing this for.
34:59Research.
34:59Research.
35:00The girls' first pitch is to Virgin Megastalls.
35:04With over 120 high street shops, it's a big potential market.
35:10For Nargis, this will be the first time she's ever made a presentation.
35:14No one else is to butt in.
35:15I'm doing this, and even if I'm failing miserably, you mustn't.
35:19Is it like some professional piece that's all?
35:21Exactly.
35:21We are going to be really professional.
35:25The first thing I'd like to say is, did you know that there are 6 million cat owners in the UK alone,
35:37and a majority, most of those, actually live in London?
35:41No, I didn't know that.
35:42Okay.
35:43Well, good morning.
35:45Good morning.
35:46My name's Nargis.
35:47I'm just going to take a few minutes of your time this morning to explain why our product is perfect for you.
35:57Take a look, please.
36:01A closer look at the product.
36:04Ask me any questions.
36:06What sort of retail price do you...
36:08I haven't finished speaking, sorry.
36:09Ask me any questions that you have, and then let's talk about how many you want.
36:14And what sort of cost price do you imagine?
36:21Sorry, can you repeat the question?
36:23What sort of cost price to us do you imagine?
36:26Well, why don't you make a suggestion to me?
36:29You need to give me something.
36:30You need to tell me what you would be prepared to pay, here and now.
36:36Okay, I don't think either of us are prepared to do that right now.
36:39Well, give me a figure.
36:40Give me a number.
36:44The presentation, I thought, was terrible.
36:50I thought she was aggressive, she lacked charm, she was confrontational.
36:56Having struggled in their first pitch, Velocity's next stop is with Calendar Club.
37:02They sell more calendars than anyone else in Britain.
37:05Shall I sit down or stand up?
37:17Are you going to stand up?
37:18No, sit down.
37:19I prefer that I stood up or sat down.
37:21Well, I can't see if you're sitting down, so you're going to stand up.
37:23All right, okay, first thing I'd like to say to you is that, did you know that there are six million cat owners in the UK alone?
37:38And a majority of them live in London.
37:41I didn't know that.
37:42So.
37:43Can I interrupt?
37:45Yes, sure.
37:45Well, I don't really understand why it's a children's charity and a bunch of cats.
37:51I don't understand how one is representing the other.
37:55Related to the other.
37:55So you're really, really saying, here is a cat calendar and we'd like money to go to a children's charity.
38:00Cat calendars, I'm actually going to come to that.
38:03So if I can just finish the whole presentation, then we'll come back to that.
38:06Because I think it's going to answer your question.
38:09The question's going to be answered.
38:11Okay.
38:12So the product is fresh, stylish, contemporary.
38:15It will look fantastic on your shelves.
38:21Okay.
38:21A couple of questions.
38:23Now?
38:23Sorry, there's more.
38:24I haven't finished.
38:24There's more.
38:25Okay.
38:26There's more.
38:31Now you can ask me any questions you can have.
38:32Thanks.
38:33Okay.
38:33And then let's talk about how many you want to buy.
38:35Oh, yes.
38:36The boys are on their way to Virgin.
38:43Virgin's next.
38:44So go in and bang that one.
38:46What we're going to do is pitch is fine.
38:47Yeah, pitch is fine.
38:47I'll do the pitch again.
38:48With Virgin, I'll say I'll be far more confident in pricing because now we've decided.
38:54But half the team have lost confidence in the sales strategy.
38:59Problem is we have got planners and planners and planners.
39:02Nobody is closing any business.
39:04Guys, two minutes.
39:05Because we're together as a group.
39:08All I'm saying is if we go in with the same presentation again and we're buried.
39:11Why do you say the presentation would be buried if I did it the same way?
39:15Well, because I think...
39:16It's a bit harsh, isn't it?
39:17No, no.
39:17It's not harsh.
39:18Because what I'm trying to say is I'm just being honest.
39:20We've got two presentations left.
39:21We've got the two biggest buyers.
39:23The two biggest buyers to go.
39:25That's all I'm saying.
39:25Yeah?
39:26This is our calendar.
39:32We can't cover it all.
39:34It's not particularly nicely produced if I'm being honest.
39:37No, no.
39:37Please be honest.
39:38Yeah.
39:39The inset pictures are quite dated looking.
39:42The use of colours.
39:43It has a little bit of a look of desktop publishing about it.
39:46Does it?
39:46I don't think we'd be able to pay anything more than £2.70, £2.75 for this.
40:06I've never been used to sales meetings like that.
40:08Them last days, two sales meetings would probably go down in my top ten worst meetings.
40:12Do you know what I mean?
40:12Absolutely.
40:13Do you agree with that?
40:16After a long day, both teams still have one pitch left to make.
40:28The girls to Harrods.
40:32And the boys to Calendar Club.
40:34Gary.
40:35Yes, Gary.
40:35Did you know that there are six million cat owners in the UK alone?
40:42And a majority of them actually live in London.
40:46Thank you for letting me know.
40:51August.
40:52An action for the director.
40:54I love that picture.
40:55It's just beautiful.
40:57Bowled over.
40:58Lost in cricket crying.
40:59Perfect.
41:00I'm quite cynical about calendars because I buy lots and lots of calendars.
41:04Sure.
41:04Ten million calendars.
41:06Wow.
41:07Wow.
41:07Ask me any questions that you have.
41:14Obviously, you know that we are Harrods.
41:15This product really speaks for itself.
41:19What I like about this straight away is that the imagery and the charity relate.
41:24Yes.
41:25Right.
41:25And you get that straight away.
41:26Sure.
41:26Very, very good piece of work.
41:28I'm impressed.
41:28Well, thanks very much.
41:29But very surprised as well.
41:31Very surprised.
41:35Well, first of all, I should say, I think it's a very good calendar.
41:41Thank you very much.
41:41Certainly something that we could sell within Harrods.
41:46I think the good thing is to offer me your best price.
41:50Based on that, I'll make consideration and they'll let you know in due course.
42:01The teams won't know how much they've sold until the orders are placed.
42:12Now it's back to the boardroom.
42:16The team that has made the most money for Great Ormond Street will win.
42:32You can go through to the boardroom now.
42:46How do you think you got on, you lot?
43:01I think we did well, you know?
43:07I think kids and babies was just critical to have them.
43:13Look at your smile.
43:14What were you laughing at just now, man?
43:16That nervous smile?
43:17No, not nervous at all.
43:18So how do you think you got on?
43:19You must have a feeling whether you think you did well.
43:22Good team leader?
43:23Um, okay.
43:28Encouraging, isn't it?
43:29They're all right behind me, that's what I like to see.
43:33Okay.
43:33There you go.
43:34All right, girls, how do you get on?
43:35Good team leader?
43:37Yeah, okay.
43:39So perhaps you'll start off, Nick?
43:40Sure.
43:41Velocity sold into Harrods 500 copies, making £1,285.
43:47Margaret?
43:48Well, Invicta didn't sell any to Harrods.
43:52Right.
43:53How about Virgin?
43:54They bought 2,000 copies, making £3,740.
43:58And Virgin for the boys?
44:00Well, the boys didn't sell any to Virgin either.
44:04Looking good, eh?
44:07The Calendar Club.
44:09So Calendar Club brought 1,000 copies,
44:11making a contribution of £2,520.
44:14So I make that £7,545 the girls have made for the hospital.
44:21Calendar Club for the boys?
44:23Well, Calendar Club bought 6,000 from the boys' team,
44:26and they made £10,020.
44:29Yes!
44:30Get it!
44:32Well done.
44:33Well done, mate.
44:34Well done.
44:39Yes!
44:39Your treat is going to be caviar tasting in Piccadilly.
44:44So very well done.
44:46OK, ladies, I'll be calling you back shortly.
44:48And as you know, one of you will be fired.
45:00The boys savour their victories.
45:02Well done.
45:03To Invicta.
45:04Invicta.
45:05Invicta.
45:05Invicta.
45:05Invicta.
45:06Invicta.
45:06Invicta.
45:06Invicta.
45:06Invicta.
45:07Invicta.
45:07Invicta.
45:08Kittens.
45:08Oh my God.
45:09What the fuck has kids got to do with growing this group?
45:12What's happened to your camera?
45:13I've been, you know, shit.
45:14We lost.
45:15You know.
45:16Oh, fuck.
45:18Oh, fuck.
45:18Nice.
45:19Well done.
45:26Actually, I think they'll be quieter.
45:27I think they'll start crumbling a little bit.
45:29Reckon it.
45:29Yeah, yeah, definitely.
45:30Are you all right?
45:31How are you feeling?
45:32Are you all right?
45:33No, you didn't.
45:34I didn't.
45:34For the losers, it's back to the boardroom.
45:51One of them is about to get fired.
45:53Jenny, would you let the ladies come in, please?
46:08The silence is ready for you in the boardroom now.
46:11My criticism of this, personally, is that it's not a calendar, as far as I'm concerned.
46:37I don't see any kind of branding of Great Ormond Street on the second, third, fourth, or fifth page.
46:41I'd like to raise a point in answer to that, and that is that every person that we pitched to wanted to buy it.
46:47So they were the buyers, and they liked it.
46:50They liked our style.
46:51The real professional who knew what he was talking about, the one that does nothing else other than sell calendars all day and all night long,
46:58actually bought some off for you out of sympathy, if you really want to know.
47:03He made his play on the boys. He bought 6,000 calendars from the boys.
47:07That's the one he's really going to retail.
47:09The point is, this sucks, as far as I'm concerned.
47:12I really think it does, and I think you've gone off the rails.
47:15I say to you, January 2nd, where's the Great Ormond Street?
47:19If you look on the bottom of each page...
47:23The Child and Always, that's what it says here.
47:25It's not Great Ormond Street branded.
47:27Founded in 1850. What's found...? It's now February, right? What's founded in 18...
47:32I forgot what I bought the bloody thing for. What's founded in 1852?
47:36We tried to use the blue of the tear as a branding exercise, subtle branding throughout the calendar.
47:40I've got that. I've got that. This kind of minimalistic look.
47:43I just want to know who's responsible. Who's responsible for the creation here?
47:47Who came up with and who condoned the creation of this?
47:50I came up with a kitten idea.
47:52How'd a cat come to Great Ormond Street? That's another thing.
47:56We did research.
47:57Can I just answer that? Our research showed that over the last 10 years,
48:01cats were in the top 10 consistently, if not in the top 10 calendars.
48:05So, another cat calendar?
48:06No, kittens.
48:07That's exactly what the guy said to me.
48:08That's wrong, because the contemporary thing that we shared...
48:10Kittens, cats, whatever you want to call them, you know?
48:12Contemporary thing.
48:13I don't love cats like you do. Kittens, cats, whatever.
48:15That's irrelevant.
48:16If you go into a store in January, you're going to see loads of animal calendars.
48:20Not like that. You cannot get that. Contemporary design with kittens in.
48:23That's not a calendar, dear. Sorry, that's not a calendar. That's a poster.
48:27We wanted to make the most money.
48:28The presentation of the boys' calendar is innovative, in my sense, that they dress the babies up.
48:33The important point about their calendar is it's got Great Ormond Street branding,
48:37it's got a traditional calendar layout here, and, of course, it continues to remind people
48:42that this is Great Ormond Street, right throughout the course of the year.
48:45And there's an element of fun about it, and their babies.
48:48And what does Great Ormond Street look after? Babies.
48:50They don't look after bloody cats.
48:52You might like to know, Anne, that Jo fought very strongly for this point. Am I right?
48:55What I wanted to do was have, like the boys have got, like a fun calendar,
48:59something that's a bit tongue-in-cheek, making the link between when babies are sick,
49:03they do look poorly, but inside they're quite strong.
49:06Please do leave off.
49:07Sir Alan, please.
49:08Do leave off, please.
49:09No, but that's what I'm left with.
49:10Anyway, tell me about the presentation.
49:12Was you all at the presentations? All seven of you at the presentations?
49:15Yes.
49:16Good presentation? You did the presenting, right?
49:18I did, yes.
49:19Was it a good presentation or not?
49:21It was very rushed.
49:22We didn't have the time that we needed to do to present.
49:24The first thing you said was, I have ten minutes, make it quick.
49:26Having been with your colleagues here for a couple of weeks, who should have done the pitch?
49:30I quite happily would have done it.
49:32I think Ruth probably would have made a very good presenter,
49:34and Karen, as a lawyer, would have made a very good negotiator.
49:37Okay, can I answer that now?
49:39Alexa and Karen stood in front of me and said,
49:43we each want to do this pitch.
49:46I said to both of them, convince me who should have it.
49:50Neither of them managed to persuade me as their team leader.
49:53Listen, I think I've heard enough of this, really.
49:55Pick two people who are going to come back in this boardroom.
49:58I'm going to pick Karen and Jo.
50:01Right.
50:05Would you like to hear my reasons?
50:07No, I don't want to hear your reasons.
50:08You've got plenty of time to give me your reasons.
50:10So Jo and Karen, you'll be coming back in here with Nargis.
50:13You other ladies, you can go back to the house.
50:17When we went to see Calendar Club, Gary Beck told me
50:45that he didn't like the way Nargos presented to him, that she kept interrupting him.
50:52But Joe seems to have been playing devil's advocate all day.
50:55There was an argument that that's what they needed.
50:57After all, they didn't sell enough of things.
51:02Let's call them in now, shall we? Let's get this over with.
51:06Someone's ready for you now.
51:15Karen, what do you think you're doing here?
51:24If I honestly knew, I would tell you.
51:26I really don't understand why she's brought me back.
51:29Why have you brought her back in here?
51:30You were going to tell me before. Now's your opportunity.
51:32OK. Karen was in charge of preparing the sales pitch.
51:36But you were negotiating.
51:38I was negotiating, but I was told what pitch to go in at.
51:41And you're not responsible in any way at all, you don't think?
51:44Well, as a team leader, I'm in charge of making sure everything comes together.
51:48And that's what I was doing.
51:49But you were the face, if you like, for want of a better word, of the company.
51:53But I think I negotiated well. I think I did fine.
51:57Gary Beck says you kept interrupting him.
51:59Who was... I don't know the names.
52:01He's from Calendar Club.
52:02Calendar Club.
52:02Calendar Club, yes, you just didn't really listen too much
52:06and rather told him rather than discussed with him.
52:09Right.
52:10I thought it was poor.
52:11OK. Well, I can learn from that.
52:14I accept that and I can learn from that.
52:16And I am not an expert.
52:17Nargis said I was the expert.
52:19I'm a lawyer by profession.
52:21I am not an expert salesperson.
52:24What's Jo doing here?
52:26Jo's here...
52:27What do you think you're here for, Jo?
52:29Um, I know exactly why I'm here.
52:31Well, go on then.
52:32Basically, because these are the girls, because I don't roll over
52:34and I'm not easy to be in a group with sometimes.
52:37Do you want the job here?
52:38Of course I want.
52:39Absolutely I want the job.
52:40OK, good.
52:40OK, so you...
52:42And I'm not going away on the basis of being...
52:44I'm not going to let them flippin' sideline me.
52:47You're a net's whisker away from getting fired.
52:49So come on.
52:50I know.
52:50Talk up.
52:50Don't sit there all quietly thinking that, you know,
52:52being the quiet one, hiding behind the bushes is going to help you out.
52:55Talk up for yourself.
52:56Come on.
52:57I'm sorry if all my contribution was to say that that was wrong
53:00and incorrect and we were going in the completely wrong direction
53:02and that delayed us for a few hours.
53:03Then I'm fine.
53:04You wasted our valuable time.
53:07No, please.
53:08Time was on the airs.
53:09I said to her this morning.
53:10We were set to task.
53:11Forget all that nonsense.
53:12Forget all the politics.
53:13Now tell me why you should stay.
53:15Well, I should stay because I was against it from the beginning.
53:18I work very much on instinct.
53:19My instinct told me that cats have got absolutely nothing to do with kids.
53:22It's an average calendar which the negotiators bought up yesterday.
53:25At the end of the day, we lost.
53:26That's a crap calendar.
53:27Can you get rid of me when I've been saying that the whole time?
53:30It's just bizarre.
53:31Thanks a lot.
53:33Thank you very much.
53:33It's absolutely bizarre.
53:34Yeah, okay.
53:35That's it.
53:37Fuck.
53:38Was she not actually the devil's advocate?
53:40We spoke to her time and time.
53:41Don't you wish her to listen now?
53:42Don't you not wish her to listen now?
53:43Please.
53:44Even in the car on the way back there.
53:46But you didn't give me anything.
53:47Everybody's going bigging it up.
53:48But you were saying, I don't agree with this,
53:50but you didn't give me anything else to do that I wanted to do.
53:51How can you listen to the rest of the girls that are bigging it up in the car
53:54about what a fantastic calendar it is?
53:56We lost, and they said it was an average calendar.
53:58We lost.
53:59We made a lot of money for charity, Jake.
54:00I'm amazed that we made a seven and a half thousand.
54:03But you listen to me.
54:03Excuse me.
54:04Joe, do you want me to excuse me one moment in allowing me to appraise the situation?
54:09Sorry.
54:09Okay?
54:10Forgive me.
54:10Sorry.
54:11I can understand there is an air of frustration.
54:14Yeah, there is.
54:14Possibly.
54:15Okay?
54:15But what I'm trying to capture here is whether you part that frustration to one side
54:20and said, all right, okay, I've got to go with the flow now.
54:23They've made the wrong decision in my mind, but I'm going with them.
54:26Did you go with them?
54:27I'll explain where I am.
54:28Did you go with them?
54:28Yeah, because...
54:29Did you go with them?
54:30Nick, I just...
54:31Did she go with you after that or not?
54:32Sometimes, but there were still some emotional outbursts, and it took a lot of energy.
54:37Did she collapse her arguments and support the team when I was there on Thursday?
54:40You think so?
54:41Yes, but on the second day...
54:42I'm asking you.
54:43And Joe was given, frankly, a pretty crappy task, I think.
54:46She sat down and she did it without complaint.
54:49She did her research, and Joe needs to just temper herself a little, because I think she can
54:54rile people when she starts crying in a business situation.
54:58But she is extremely passionate, and if she believes very strongly in something, I don't
55:03think there's anything wrong with letting you know she believes very strongly in something.
55:08Repairable, as far as you're concerned, do you think?
55:10Repairable.
55:10Do you think long-term repairable?
55:12Yes, long-term repairable.
55:13In your experience, yeah?
55:15In my view of what happened over the last few days...
55:17You carry on like that in front of me for too long.
55:20You know, as much as I want someone, as much as I want someone who's shrewd, tough, opinionated,
55:26I love it, OK?
55:28But, of course, I've got to think about myself also, right?
55:31Do you understand?
55:31And there comes a time where I think, could I work with this person?
55:35I'm not going to try and knock my spirit out of you, but can you adapt?
55:38Well, at least in front of me.
55:39Absolutely.
55:40Do you think so?
55:40Without a doubt.
55:42Nargis, tell me why I shouldn't fire you as a team leader here.
55:45Come on, we're on the burndown now.
55:48You tell me.
55:49I was leading a team of very highly adrenaline-charged, strong-minded, intelligent women, and I think
55:57I did a good job at leading them.
55:59Can I ask you a point-blank question?
56:00Did you bring her in here thinking that because you two seem to come across as quite bright,
56:06that you're forcing me to make the decision to get rid of her?
56:09You sure?
56:10Yes.
56:13Here's how I see this.
56:15There are two fundamental flaws in this particular task.
56:19One was the product itself.
56:22I believe that the creative people should have been directed in a much better way.
56:28The second thing is the presentation to the retailers was flawed, as far as I'm concerned.
56:33And on the basis of that, and I'm trusting you here, you're not leading me down the garden
56:37path.
56:38Nargis, you're fired.
56:40I hope that she doesn't let me down because, you know, I couldn't put up with her.
56:57But, you know, the thing is, people...
56:59She's got spirit.
57:00She's got spirit.
57:01And I like her spirit.
57:02I think I asked her enough times whether she wants to stay or not.
57:04I like her spirit.
57:05Now, I want to see it through the next few weeks if she can call it.
57:08I don't understand why he fired me.
57:22And I think Karen probably set me up.
57:25She is the dishonest one.
57:28You know, I don't know what's going to happen.
57:29I thought Sir Alan wanted someone who was straight, talking and honest.
57:33And that's what I am.
57:34And Karen is not straight, talking and honest.
57:36One job, now just 12 candidates.
57:41Sir Alan's search for his apprentice continues.
57:46Next week, Sir Alan wants a bargain.
57:49Buying is one of the most important things.
57:52They've got to buy the same 10 items for the lowest prices.
57:56This is a race against time.
57:57I'm getting married.
57:57I'm getting married.
57:58Yeah, I'm getting married.
57:59I'm not bothered whether you like me or not, OK?
58:01What I need is honesty.
58:02You can't keep on fooling us when we're doing that job because it looks terrible.
58:05Yeah, Sharon, but the thing is...
58:07Hang on, Joe, let us speak first of all.
58:10What if you could do it for a tenner?
58:11I'll take it now.
58:12Done.
58:13No, let's go.
58:14No, let's go.
58:15Thanks.
58:16Bye, enjoy.
58:16Let's go, go, go, go, go.
58:17After another gruelling day, who will be the next to go?
58:21I just don't know if you're just a bloody natter.
58:24You're fine.
58:26Interesting story.
58:26I once had somebody staple my ear to my head.

59:01Opinions are like a**holes.
59:03Everybody's got one.
59:04The Armstrongs.
59:05Cepardos.
59:06I'm sorry.
59:06You're...
59:06I have no idea.
59:07I have no idea.
59:07I've stayed with one.
59:08I have no idea.
59:08What do you...
59:09I'm sorry.
59:10The taillight.
59:11E going to be based on my internet.
59:13One of the things that we've been to the place, the old Folks
59:27said it was going to keep things up.
