00:00This is not a game. This is a 12-week job interview. Never, ever, ever underestimate me.
00:1614 people came to London in search of a job.
00:19I don't like liars. I don't like cheats. I don't like bullshitters. I don't like schmoozers.
00:30They've come to battle it out for a job with Sir Alan Sugar.
00:38I would have told you to piss off.
00:40Tough and uncompromising, Sir Alan is at the top of his game with a global empire worth 700 million pounds.
00:49He's offering one job with a six-figure salary.
00:53I'm gonna fucking win this now if it kills me.
00:56To get it, they'll have to work and live together and face a weekly business task.
01:02You can't fucking fire me.
01:04You feel the pressure is building?
01:06This is the ultimate job interview.
01:08You're fired. You're fired. You're fired.
01:10Last week...
01:18What's going on, boys?
01:20It's a game, isn't it?
01:21The thing is that the girls, they're not mentally strong like our team. They've got a lot of weak characters in there.
01:25Having lost the previous task, the girls were determined to beat the boys.
01:29Today's task is designing and innovating a product.
01:33The bad news is I'm gonna give you the worst consumers in the world. Children.
01:39The two teams were told to design a toy.
01:43This is a trading game with a twist.
01:45The boys all agreed on an electronic version of the card game, Top Trumps.
01:50Oh, fantastic!
01:52Most of the girls backed the idea of an exploding robot, but were overruled by project manager Lindsay.
01:58I know that you've all got personal opinions, but please cast those aside.
02:02In the boardroom, Lindsay presented Sir Alan with her idea of a game based on secret messaging.
02:08My observations are that it's a bunch of cards. Sounds a bit boring to me. Boys, you've won.
02:15As project manager of the losing team, Lindsay had to choose two people to join her in the firing line.
02:21I'm going to be picking Adele and Miriam.
02:24Unsurprisingly, they weren't impressed.
02:27Who should go out of you three?
02:28Lindsay without any shadow of a doubt.
02:30Lindsay, because she didn't listen to her team.
02:33Lindsay, I'm not liking what I'm hearing here.
02:35We decided on the way back. We will.
02:37You decided.
02:38You made a decision in the end, and that decision is gonna cost you.
02:42Lindsay, you're fired.
02:45Lindsay became the second casualty of the boardroom.
02:48Now, twelve remain to fight for the chance to become The Apprentice.
02:53Back at the house, the other candidates are waiting to see who will return from the boardroom.
03:06I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, I think Miriam will definitely come back.
03:10One hundred percent.
03:11I think that as well.
03:12Without Adele.
03:13I do.
03:14I think it's gonna be how strong Adele puts her argument forward and how Lindsay puts her argument forward.
03:19Because Lindsay was project management and Adele...
03:21Yeah, and Adele didn't really contribute.
03:25Contribute.
03:26No.
03:32I think it's a shame that Lindsay went because she made the wrong call, and it was a pretty big call to mess up.
03:38However, I think you do have to have a certain amount of admiration for someone who's prepared to put their neck on the line and go against the grain.
03:48Had it been the right decision, it would have been fantastic for her, you know.
03:51Unfortunately, it was a wrong decision. It was wrong in a big, big way.
03:54Hello!
03:55Hello!
03:56Hello!
03:57Hello!
03:58Hello!
03:59Oh, my God!
04:00Well done!
04:01What was that?
04:02Whoa-wee!
04:03What happened?
04:04Hello!
04:05Hello!
04:06I'm shocked!
04:07After two successive defeats and two of their team fired, the girls are facing up to the
04:23some home truths.
04:24The dynamics of the group are four very loud-mouthed girls. Unless we see that and work with it, we're still going to be in the sheer.
04:32I don't care what anyone says. Because not all of us, even though people are saying, not all of us listen. We don't.
04:38I think we're too good for them. Seriously, I don't mean in an arrogant way. I think we've got a lot of individuals, we've got a lot of experience and a lot of know-how, and I just don't see that in the girls' team.
04:48I have to agree with that. I don't see anyone there, or even more than one of them there, who could be described as spectacular.
04:58We've still got a long way to go, I can honestly tell you. Because we'll do another task, we'll be sitting in the back of the van, we'll still be squabbling, one person will say this, and it'll be like-
05:07We need to chat about that.
05:08We big time.
05:09As a matter of urgency.
05:10We need to identify our roles.
05:12You can't ever underestimate your competition because they could come as a prize.
05:16No, no, no. We won't do that. We won't ever do that.
05:18But I'm just saying, as an observation, we didn't fear them when they were seven.
05:24But they've lost 28% of their man car, and they've produced one of the worst names that you could think of. There's a pattern forming, and it's not looking good for the girls.
05:33Traffic clockwise on the QE2 bridge. West of Tamsdale problems in Kensal Green, Harrow Road. It's blocked off both ways between the...
05:527am. The candidates are up already, waiting to find out their task for the week.
05:58But today, Sir Alan has a surprise for them.
06:06He's coming to the house in person to announce it.
06:10First, he has some unexpected news for Matthew and Adele.
06:15The one with the white door.
06:21Right, next.
06:28I'm going to change things a little bit this week.
06:34A major change is going to be that I'm going to pick the team leaders.
06:38In the impact team, Matthew, I'm going to make you the team leader.
06:43What I want to see is any skills that you may have of leadership.
06:47Now, Adele, you fought for your position last week.
06:50And I think you might remember me saying that perhaps you should be a team leader.
06:55Well, you're going to be.
06:57So that's the first change.
06:59Next surprise, a corporate reshuffle.
07:02Adele, I want you to pick three boys to join First Forte.
07:07And Matthew, I want you to pick two of the girls to join Impact.
07:12When Sir Alan picked me, I thought, oh, cripes.
07:18Because I've actually been trying to consciously keep away from being a group leader.
07:23But there's nothing you can do about it.
07:25You've got to do it. You can't duck out of it.
07:27So I did it.
07:29So there's one.
07:35And Rachel.
07:38Adele?
07:39I'd like to pick Tim, Sebastian and Ben.
07:45Each team now has six members.
07:48For the first time, boys and girls will work together.
07:52I felt really happy that the teams were mixed.
07:55As one of the girls, I was quite intrigued about how the boys had been working
07:59and what their kind of secret formula was.
08:02So for me, mixing the teams up at that stage was exciting.
08:06The immediate reaction when he told us he was going to mix up the teams was, pfff, heart just dropped.
08:11It was like, oh, no. Shoulders down, blah, blah.
08:14I've made some really good friends with the other guys and to be separated from them was not a nice prospect.
08:18Now I'm going to tell you what the task is all about. Buying.
08:23Both teams are going to get a list of the same items which you've got to go out and buy.
08:29You've got to 5.30 and you've got to bring all the stuff back to the boardroom.
08:33And the team that comes back with the items on time and with most money left over is the team that's going to win.
08:42The team that comes back with the least amount of money will be the losers.
08:46And in that team, one of you will get fired.
08:50Margaret, she'll be tracking impact.
08:53And Nick, he'll be tracking first forte.
08:56Got it?
08:57Yeah.
08:58In less than eight and a half hours, everyone must be back at the boardroom.
09:05The newly formed teams gather in their offices to find out what Sir Alan wants them to buy.
09:11A diamond. Right, Hatton Gardens.
09:14Right, send that round. So the first one is a diamond.
09:17Oh, champagne.
09:20The specification, Bollinger, 96, Grand Anais.
09:26Do you know?
09:27Yes.
09:28Oh, my God.
09:29Jelly deals.
09:30Jelly deals. One bowl, approximately £4.
09:32$100.
09:34A bowl of hat.
09:35Freeview.
09:36Freeview box.
09:37Oh, my God.
09:38A dental check-up.
09:40Do we actually have to buy it?
09:41Or does someone have to go and have one?
09:46Many people would argue that the buying of things is the key to their business.
09:51There's diamond buyers, there's gold buyers, there's buyers of components, there's buyers of textiles, and every single one of them has got an ARP involved in it.
10:04Whether you're buying one or whether you're buying 1,000, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't negotiate.
10:08Project manager Adele starts by creating a job title for every person in her team.
10:18OK, we have a bit of a structure now. Anybody who's deputising to me may, by default, if we lose, which no negatives now, but if, and we only have to have the if, they will be with me potentially in the firing line.
10:33Yeah.
10:34So, Tim, I'd like you to be deputy project manager. Are you happy to do that?
10:38Definitely.
10:39Now, I want a senior buyer, I want somebody who has strong negotiation skills, and I want then, obviously, we all help out in negotiation, but I want one person that's going to be doing all the talking, and then I want two assistants underneath that person.
10:51Who does that person want? I'd like Ben to do that job. Are you comfortable with that, Ben?
10:56Fine, if that's what you want.
10:57Yep.
10:58That's great.
10:59I'm like a PA, and what I want the PA to do is take all notes, minutes of meetings, set the agenda with me. Who would like to do that? Miranda, would you like to do that?
11:07If you want.
11:08Bear in mind, though, you are fairly senior, so, again, you may well be in the boardroom with me later, if that decision has to be made. Are you comfortable with that?
11:17Well, it's your call.
11:18I'm giving you the option, are you happy to be my PA?
11:21Well, I mean, obviously, I don't want you to be limited in other aspects.
11:24No, you won't be limited. We're all working as a team. Are you happy to be my PA?
11:27Yeah, I mean, if you want to, then...
11:29OK. I need you to make comprehensive notes.
11:31You don't need a PA. What's a PA for? And even her own assessment of what a PA was to do was to take notes and do that throughout the day.
11:40I was like, we're not in a boardroom. We're running around getting items. You don't need someone to be running behind you with a clipboard writing down,
11:46yes, Adele did this at 5.03. It just didn't make any sense. It was a waste of effort.
11:50Less pushy as a leader, Matthew allows the stronger members of his team to dominate.
11:56I can do it. Right, OK.
11:57What I was going to say was, though...
11:59You're not delegating the task correctly. Can I just say...
12:01OK, go for it.
12:02I'll tell you why. Because it's going to be based on location and product and also personal strengths.
12:06We're up against a wall.
12:07Yes, we are. Hold on. So, basically, James...
12:09Matthew is, I don't think, project leader material.
12:17But yet, he was sensible enough to realise that. So, what he did was, he played a sort of back, backward step.
12:23Knew that he had a pretty good team and let the team do whatever they needed to do in order to go forward.
12:28Right, OK. What's your cheapest one?
12:31Do you have any ideas as to where I can get a cheap and cheerful newspaper ad?
12:34Hello, my darling. I wonder if you can help me.
12:36Have you got anything in stock? Because I need it for today.
12:38A bowl of jellied eels. It's a matter of life and death.
12:44Everything the teams buy must be brand new.
12:47But across London, prices vary hugely.
12:50Finding the cheapest suppliers will be a key part of the task.
12:55Then, everything will depend on negotiating the lowest prices with shopkeepers.
13:01Time is against them. London's traffic makes it hard to get around.
13:05And they'll be fined for any item they fail to buy.
13:11After a morning spent phoning around, both teams are ready to leave.
13:16They've been given £1,000 cash.
13:22Both teams split in half, each responsible for different items on the list.
13:26Our tactics are, number one, personal strengths.
13:31So, it's about people buy from people and people sell nicely to people.
13:35So, it's about personality.
13:43Project leader Adele takes buying assistant Sebastian and her PA Miranda.
13:48I wish that I could keep my own book, because I know where all my own notes are.
13:51And...
13:53It may well...
13:54Well, don't give it to somebody else, then.
13:56You know, you took it off, mate.
13:58You're getting into trouble a lot today, Sebastian.
14:00I wasn't so happy to be split up, to be honest.
14:03Just because I come from a team where I understand everyone, I understand the dynamics.
14:06And I was thrown into a team where there was...
14:10It was much more political.
14:11I'm going into trouble.
14:12You're not.
14:13You took it off.
14:14I don't know.
14:15Who was holding it?
14:16Me!
14:17I was holding it after you gave it to me, because you took the A to set.
14:20Right, that's Covent Garden.
14:22I think the girls are possibly slightly more egocentric than some other boys are.
14:26And that makes it much harder to work with them.
14:29Head up to North London.
14:30They fight to have the last word.
14:31Although it really doesn't matter who has the last word.
14:33Right, you've got the pay and mash number, I'm sure you're having that part.
14:36Hi, pay and mash please.
14:37It's you that's dealt with pay and mash, I haven't.
14:39No, no, you haven't.
14:40Hi, unmash.
14:41London, please.
14:42Sorry, I thought you were talking to me.
14:43No.
14:44Hi, unmash.
14:45Sorry.
14:46I was talking to you and looking at you.
14:51Matthew's team starts with the champagne.
14:54Investment banker James leads them to a wine merchant in the affluent borough of Chelsea.
15:03Hello.
15:04I'm James.
15:05David.
15:06Hello, we spoke on the phone.
15:07We did, yeah.
15:08Very nice to see you.
15:09What do you do in Bollinger?
15:10We do.
15:11What we're looking for is a Bollinger 96 Grand Annais.
15:15Grand Annais.
15:16Very nice.
15:1775 centilitre.
15:18Got one.
15:19They're selling it for a hefty 51 pounds.
15:22I would love it if we could pull off something that we can have this lovely bottle and if we
15:27could see if we could see if we could do it for your 12 bottle rate on the basis that you really would like us to be customers.
15:33But what we're unable to do today is to buy the 12.
15:36Yeah, it's to buy the 12.
15:37It'd be something I'd have to confer with the colleague on.
15:40Can you confer with the colleague?
15:41If you would bear with me for one thing.
15:42I would be delighted to bear with you as long as you like.
15:45If I'm buying more than one, I'll always try and negotiate.
15:48I don't care whether it's a big department store or whether it's a small, you know, two-bit shop.
15:52I will always try and negotiate if I'm buying more than one.
15:55Hello there.
15:56If you're buying one of something, I actually feel quite uncomfortable about negotiating because I don't think, you know, you're not playing the game.
16:06Why is it that they have two for one, three for one kind of deals?
16:08It's because they want you to buy more.
16:10And when people do become good customers, then we certainly do give them the better discounted price.
16:14But we can't discount things on the promise of people becoming good customers.
16:18Right.
16:19Because you might walk out of the door and, God help you, might be run over by a bus or something.
16:22Well, I hope not.
16:23I hope you're not either.
16:24Yes.
16:25I've got many things to do about that.
16:26Yes.
16:27You know, the whole point of having a discounted price by the case is to encourage people to buy cases.
16:34To show willing, goodwill and all the rest of it, I'm not going to give you the case price because that's too big a discount.
16:41Right.
16:42But we will do it at £49.
16:46If we can't squeeze a little mite further.
16:49You said it.
16:52Okay.
16:54Do we leave it in limbo and come back?
16:56And we'll see if we can get anywhere else?
16:58This is what they exercise is all about.
17:00I know.
17:01It is all about that.
17:02By all means, go and see if you can buy it cheaper elsewhere.
17:04Yeah.
17:05Can we hold on that price?
17:06Of course.
17:07Because we've got to get the best price.
17:08Absolutely.
17:09Absolutely fine.
17:10I'm very, very happy for you to go away and see if you can do a better price than £49.
17:13Or is there any way that if we were prepared to shake hands now and just do it and be done?
17:17I'd do it at £49.
17:18Perfect.
17:19You wouldn't even do £48 and a half for us?
17:20£49.
17:23We're all getting on board now.
17:24Are we?
17:25Why are we going to go?
17:26Why are we going to go?
17:27Why are we going to go?
17:28Why are we going to go?
17:29Can you do us a favour and not do that?
17:30No, we're going.
17:31Thank you very much indeed.
17:32Thank you very much.
17:33The other half of Matthew's team hunt for a cheap mattress in a less affluent area of East London.
17:46Excuse me.
17:47Hello.
17:48How are you?
17:50You're OK.
17:51Can I tell...
17:52I'm looking for a single mattress.
17:54OK.
17:55And...
17:56Have we got the description?
17:57Yep.
17:58Just one single adult mattress.
17:59A mattress like that.
18:00One adult mattress.
18:01Can you tell me how much your cheapest mattress is?
18:03£35.
18:04£35.
18:05This one?
18:06Because I've been in property for many years, I've bought about a million mattresses.
18:09So I know the price of it.
18:10So I knew that anything under £30 was a pretty good buy for a single mattress.
18:13Sorry, what was your name?
18:14It's very cheap.
18:15Leonora.
18:16Leonora.
18:17Leonora, can you give it to me for about...
18:19£25.
18:20£25.
18:21£25.
18:22Your boss will be very happy with £25.
18:23No.
18:24He'll be very happy.
18:25I don't care.
18:26He must buy these for about £10.
18:27About £10.
18:28So £25.
18:29You made £15 on top.
18:31£28.
18:32Seven.
18:33Seven.
18:34Seven.
18:35£30.
18:3620.
18:3729.
18:3821.
18:39And it was sort of going like this.
18:40And then she landed on 28 and she wasn't budging on 28.
18:42So I just looked at Sarah as if to say, just take 28.
18:45You know, we've got a lot to do today.
18:47£28.
18:48OK.
18:49A deal.
18:50A good old shake.
18:51Fantastic.
18:52Get a seat for that, please.
18:53That's lovely.
18:54Shall we just hold it the other way and walk wide?
18:55Paul, are you smiling?
18:56Smile.
18:57The other half of Adele's team start with the diamond.
19:10They head for Hatton Garden, the heart of London's jewellery trade, where the diamond
19:14they need can cost anything up to £200.
19:17We've been to three jewellers now.
19:19We've had two...
19:20Ben finds someone selling it for £150.
19:22Well, we checked all the ones that I initially started with.
19:24Excellent.
19:25That's our baby.
19:26That's the one.
19:27This is what you're after.
19:28That's what you want.
19:29Purely VS to colour H.
19:31OK.
19:32And I'm assuming that's them.
19:33Any of those diamonds are £150.
19:35I've done that.
19:36Having been appointed chief negotiator, he's now got to get the price down further.
19:40I've always been told that I'm very streetwise, very smart when it comes to business, and
19:45very tenacious.
19:46I am, for want of a better word, a hard new business salesperson, and quite aggressive at
19:53it as well.
19:54I mean, I want to buy it off you, because you've been really helpful.
19:56I've not got a budget of £150.
19:59That's the problem that I'm in.
20:01I mean, I've not got that money.
20:03If I was to offer you, say, £120 for one, could we do something, work something out on
20:08that basis?
20:09No, a little bit more.
20:11A little bit more.
20:12What's a little bit more?
20:13£125?
20:14£135.
20:15And that would be my bottom price.
20:17OK.
20:18For one.
20:19OK.
20:20And that would be the lowest you'll...
20:21That would be the lowest I'd go.
20:23That's almost possible.
20:24£130.
20:25Yeah, some meeting between them.
20:26£135.
20:27At no point did I feel like begging.
20:28I would never do that.
20:29I mean, in negotiation, there comes a cut-off point.
20:31We have to turn around and say, look, OK, we've agreed that that's the price.
20:35Let's go in and do that.
20:37OK.
20:38Done.
20:39Thank you very much for that.
20:40Thanks.
20:41You're welcome.
20:46Having struck a good deal and quicker than expected, they leave Hatton Garden in high
20:51spirits.
20:52Loving you, mate.
20:53Loving you, too.
20:57But Adele's half of the team is falling behind schedule with constant disagreement over strategy.
21:02They've yet to buy a single item.
21:03I'm going to run over.
21:04Sorry, guys.
21:05Do you sell the coders?
21:06Do you sell the coders?
21:07Television decoders?
21:08Good.
21:09You go.
21:11Right.
21:12Continue on that.
21:13Sebastian, stop running away.
21:14You cannot travel from them.
21:15I know that you're only trying to get comfortable.
21:16Have you got a price on those yet?
21:17OK.
21:18I'll stay with you.
21:19We're going to get penalised for it.
21:20I want you to walk into ProCom, so can we all please run...
21:21I'm not doing ProCom, so I've been in there.
21:22No one has time to stop for lunch as the afternoon wears on, and with less than three and
21:39a half hours to go, Matthew's team pay the asking price for Rachel's dental check-up.
21:46She needs two fillings.
21:48Thank you very much for doing that.
21:50Much appreciated.
21:51But with everything taking so long, Raj is concerned.
21:54OK, Matthew, don't worry about the company.
21:55Listen, right?
21:56You've got to think logically on this now.
21:58It's difficult.
21:59It really is difficult.
22:00Do not lose out on getting an item just because of the price.
22:03Yeah.
22:04Get the best possible price.
22:05Bear in mind, we need to make sure we get all the tasks.
22:07Right, come, move, move, move, move, move, move.
22:10Adele's group try shop after shop as they look for several things at once.
22:14Any luck?
22:15Finally, they find a free view box for £68.
22:19Hurry up, because we're in a rush.
22:20No problem.
22:22Adele's deputy, Tim, thinks of a way to find a cheap bowler.
22:26And obviously Dave is the chairman of the British Hat Guild, and we're after some information
22:31about bowler hats, where we can obtain one from.
22:34And they buy it for £40.
22:36Thanks for your help.
22:37You have a good afternoon as well.
22:38Bye.
22:42It's a film.
22:43Matthew and James are also behind schedule.
22:46They failed to find cheap champagne in Chelsea.
22:49Now they've been stuck in traffic for 40 minutes trying to get to Kensington.
22:54I thought we were going to go over there.
22:55What about going on?
22:56Hang on.
22:57It's light.
22:58We should be all right, actually.
22:59OK.
23:00Actually, no, we can't, because we've got to go all the way around the fucking thing.
23:03Their destination, a gentleman's hat supplier, spotted by James in the Yellow Pages.
23:08Is that all right?
23:09Because we're just outside now, and I just wanted to let you know that we're here.
23:12So I'll come down and say hello, if that's all right.
23:14Marvellous.
23:18Given these specifications here, which are that it needs to be stiffened.
23:21It can be wool or fur felt.
23:24It can be any colour, any adult size.
23:28And really, I guess what we're looking to do is to find something which fits those specifications,
23:33is new, but is as cheap as possible.
23:35No, these are all secondhand.
23:37Ah.
23:38You don't do new at all.
23:40That will solve that one problem, then.
23:42Ah.
23:43Well, no, we don't do new.
23:44I mean, that's not what we do.
23:45No, that's fine.
23:46I looked at Matthew, and Matthew looked at me, and I looked at Rachel, and Rachel looked
23:50at me, and it was just like...
23:53bollocks.
23:54I just have some bowler hats.
23:55Oh, okay.
23:56That's fine.
23:57Okay.
23:58If you'd told me that, I'd...
23:59Sorry.
24:00Oh, right.
24:01I'm...
24:02Oh, okay.
24:03Fine.
24:04We've saved you the trouble.
24:05Yeah, we've saved you the trouble.
24:06Do you have any suggestions as to where on earth we might go?
24:08I don't know.
24:09Maybe to the far east somewhere?
24:11I'm just the hat that would fit you.
24:13Let me just put this one on.
24:15Hmm.
24:16We sort of tried to make a quick exit, but it was very difficult trying to make a quick
24:20exit.
24:21You know, James, who does spend just that little bit too long for me, um, with the niceties
24:28and pleasantries and saying wonderful things.
24:30Well, thank you very much indeed for your time.
24:32That's very kind.
24:33Okay.
24:34It has been a pleasure.
24:35That's all right.
24:37Hello there.
24:38Um, do you sell, uh, new bowler hats?
24:42What?
24:43New bowler hats.
24:44Right.
24:45Thank you very much.
24:46The other half of Matthew's team are still in the east end, where they're having better
24:50luck.
24:51Paul finds a small independent bank open for its first day of business.
24:55Hello, good morning.
24:56Um, I need a hundred American dollars, please.
24:59£61.
25:00That is, then.
25:01I'm sure we can do better than £61.
25:02Bureau de Changes quoted me £53.
25:04I didn't want to get to the Bureau de Changes particularly, because I saw the Bank of Asia.
25:08It was your first day.
25:09It was a nice building.
25:10I thought these people would do easy better than £53.
25:13Can't do any bowler.
25:15Come on.
25:16£50.
25:17£50 I have here.
25:18You watch this.
25:19£50 I have here.
25:20One, two, three, four, five.
25:23£50.
25:24You'll easy beat the Bureau de Changes.
25:26Anything less than £53 will do a deal.
25:30Come on.
25:31Come on, Dad.
25:32Um, £53 for the first day.
25:35We'll give you this down.
25:36£53?
25:37That's fine.
25:38I'll take it.
25:39Thank you very much.
25:40We'll take it.
25:41Right, there is 50.
25:42Does anybody have £3?
25:43I've got two.
25:45£2.
25:46£2.
25:47£52.
25:49Look at that.
25:50£52.
25:51Oh, he's alright.
25:52Oh, it's a deal.
25:53Okay, well done.
25:54Thank you very much.
25:55Thank you very much.
25:57The Bank of Asia.
25:59Bethnal Green Road.
26:00I think we better update you on our problem.
26:05As they leave Bethnal Green, they get a call from James in Kensington.
26:09Alright, take care.
26:10Bye.
26:11What have they got?
26:12Nothing.
26:13What?
26:14Well, no, no.
26:15They're on with everything.
26:16The thing with James is that because he buys a lot of beautiful clothes and expensive things,
26:22he goes to beautiful and expensive places.
26:24Yeah, and that's not the way.
26:25He was ringing up bowler hat people for £240.
26:27I know, yeah.
26:28No, he's not that stupid, though.
26:29No, he rang them already.
26:30You know, and they were saying, you know, he said, oh, I know this great chap that does
26:32bowler hats.
26:33Yeah, but you've got a £200.
26:34What's your bet?
26:35Adele's group, still on foot in central London, haven't bought anything since the Freeview
26:42Box.
26:43Can you see her?
26:44Look, where's she gone?
26:45I can look for a bit.
26:46If I'm in here, I can just ask her.
26:47I'll come straight back in and I'll find you.
26:48Hi.
26:49Erm, just bear with me one sec.
26:50No, you're staying with me until we find her.
26:51OK.
26:52Sorry about that.
26:53Do you sell jelly deals?
26:54No, not until we find her.
26:55Do you sell jelly deals?
26:56No, not until we find her.
26:57Do you sell jelly deals?
26:58No, not until we find her.
26:59Do you sell jelly deals?
27:00No, not until we find her.
27:01Do you sell jelly deals?
27:02Right, Miranda, you do not split up from us.
27:03We have to stay together.
27:04Come back over here.
27:05No.
27:06Come back.
27:07He's going off in one direction, she's going off off.
27:08Now that I'm fine, she's got to come back.
27:09OK, but I'll be in here.
27:10Right, OK.
27:11Can't split up.
27:12Well, he's running off all over the place.
27:13Yeah, I just told him off as well.
27:15Yeah, I just told him off as well.
27:16The other half of her team have found the champagne in Soho.
27:17Tim decides to negotiate after asking Ben for advice outside the shop.
27:23And he was about, just remember Tim, keep it succinct, just stick to the point and don't drag
27:25it on too long.
27:26So basically, how much does this, what's the value of this?
27:2744.95.
27:28We were in the process of going around collecting several items, which we have to collect by a
27:31certain period of time.
27:32Now, the other half of her team, you know, the other half of her team have found the
27:34champagne in Soho.
27:35Hello.
27:36Tim decides to negotiate after asking Ben for advice outside the shop.
27:40And he was about, just remember Tim, keep it succinct, just stick to the point and
27:46don't drag it on too long.
27:47So basically, how much does this, what's the value of this?
27:5044.95.
27:51We were in the process of going around collecting several items, which we have to collect by
27:56a certain period of time.
27:58Now, we understand what the retail value of this is, and we understand what the cost value
28:02of this product actually is.
28:03What is the best price that you could give me on this particular bottle of champagne?
28:0644.95.
28:07And there's no leeway on that whatsoever?
28:10I posed my proposal to him, and he immediately said, he's not moving, and that was it.
28:16And all of a sudden, the alarm bells go off in your head, you're thinking, oh my gosh,
28:19what do I do now?
28:20Okay, I'm left with a bit of a dilemma, as you can say, from my side.
28:25If I was sort of, say, a couple of pence less than the actual retail price that you've
28:30got up there, we're talking not massive money, we're talking pence as opposed to...
28:34So you mean 44.90 rather than 44.95?
28:37Even if you can go to 44 dead...
28:39I'll do your 44.90, to show willing.
28:4444.50.
28:46Nope.
28:47I'm not going to insult you by going in with further negotiations.
28:51Could we purchase this bottle for 44.90, please?
28:53Certainly.
28:54Thank you very much.
28:55At five past four, Sebastian gets a dental appointment.
29:03He has perfect teeth.
29:06But Adele's group still needs jellied eels and a mattress in just over an hour.
29:11The checkup costs 20 pounds 96, but Sebastian pretends he doesn't have enough.
29:16Is that okay?
29:17Yeah, the next day you'll pay 96 pence more.
29:19Okay, fine.
29:20Yeah.
29:21Matthew and James finally buy their champagne.
29:25We'll do it on this occasion.
29:27But their team still needs a bowler hat and a free-view box.
29:31With rush hour approaching, pressure grows to head off to the boardroom.
29:38Adele finds a supermarket with jellied eels on special offer.
29:44Do you have jellied eels?
29:46The other half of her team start their long journey back.
29:52And she tackles her PA, Miranda.
29:55That's why I delegated it to you.
29:57That's what delegation means.
29:58If I tell you to do something, you do it.
30:00But surely then you'd like to take the floor if you don't leave you.
30:02No, no, I delegated that to you.
30:04That's why you're on my PA.
30:05Oh, so you didn't want to do it?
30:06No, it's not that I didn't want to do it.
30:07I delegated it to you.
30:08There's a difference.
30:09It's very simple in my mind.
30:11I delegated it to you.
30:12Right, well, it was simple in mind as well.
30:14I thought it was your job.
30:15No, it's not my job.
30:16I'm five delegated it to you.
30:17You asked me to make the call.
30:18I didn't know what I was saying to them at all.
30:20Well, then you should have asked the person.
30:21Guys.
30:22That's all.
30:23I don't want to continue it.
30:24There's no conflict here.
30:25All I'm saying is respect to me for the question.
30:28What I asked you to do, that's all.
30:29You asked me to make a phone call.
30:30You didn't say with what content.
30:31That's it, Miranda.
30:32I haven't prepared to discuss it anymore.
30:33That's fine.
30:34Make yourself more clear in future.
30:41Have you got the eels already?
30:42Yeah, we've got all that.
30:43Yeah, we've got all that.
30:44All we need to do is get the mattress.
30:45We've negotiated a price.
30:46We need to go and help them.
30:47Traffic is building up, so you do not want to be stuck in traffic.
30:51Yeah.
30:52Okay.
30:53Bye.
30:54There's a bed there, single bed.
30:55Can we just stop a minute?
30:56Yeah.
30:57No, no, no, no.
30:58Just pull over.
30:59Honestly, please.
31:00Let's just pull over.
31:01Let's just pull over.
31:02Left.
31:03Can we just pull over here?
31:04It'll take two seconds.
31:05Okay.
31:06Yes.
31:07Yes.
31:08Can we just pull over here?
31:09Yeah.
31:10Can we just get a price on the single mattress that we've got?
31:11The cheapest one?
31:12The cheapest single mattress is $45.
31:13$45.
31:14We've had a price of $35.
31:15If we don't have it now, we've got cash, we're ready to take it away now.
31:17Why don't you get a price on the single mattress that you've got?
31:20How much is the cheapest one?
31:22Cheapest single mattress, $45.
31:24$45, we've had a price of $35.
31:26If we get $35, we've got cash, we're ready to take it away now.
31:30So is everyone in this day and age?
31:33If you get $35, it'd be perfect for us and we'd really appreciate it.
31:36We still have bills to pay at the end of the day.
31:38I know, I know. It's a massive, massive deadline.
31:40You'll be doing this a huge favor.
31:41Go on, where you go?
31:42I'll play along with you again.
31:44Thank you! Thank you so much!
31:47No, Sebastian, we're doing it.
31:53He's not going to fit. Just put it on the back seat.
31:57And lift up.
31:58Adele's team now have all their items, but Matthews are in trouble.
32:03He's given up on the bowler hat and is returning to the boardroom without it.
32:08They'll be fined £80.
32:11The other half of his team hope to improve the situation
32:14with a cut-price deal on the freeview box.
32:17But time's running out.
32:18The bus bus is £78.
32:23We can't do it.
32:26Our cost is £81.
32:27I'll give you a full discount, 18% plus V80.
32:31They started to talk money, and the money started to come down to about £80, then £78.
32:39They started to talk money, and the money started to come down to about £80, then £78, then £75, and then it got to a sort of stalemate.
33:03Are you telling me you cannot definitely get it cheaper, because if you get it cheaper, then I'm going to lose this competition.
33:18No, no, no, no, that's the best price they can do.
33:24Enter Mr Singh number two, and there was a change in his eye, and there was a change in the eyes of the other person.
33:32We are the Asian team, and they don't have the language skills on the other side.
33:37With others thrown in.
33:38So we just want to make sure that we're getting the cheap...
33:41Saira and Raj were then relentless against the chap that we were speaking to.
33:4574 then, yeah? No.
33:4775. Oh, is it 75? Yeah.
33:49I thought it was 73.
33:50And the gentleman basically said, look, I'll tell you what...
33:53You can take it free. So you're going to give it to us free of charge?
33:56Yeah.
33:57Oh, my God! Oh, my God, that's amazing! Are you being real?
34:01Yes.
34:02So can we take a box now?
34:03Yeah, you can take it now.
34:04Don't question him anymore!
34:05All right, let's take the box! Uncle, get us the box!
34:07Thank you very much.
34:08OK, thank you very much.
34:09OK. Bye-bye.
34:10But now they have another problem. They've got just 25 minutes to get back to the boardroom.
34:22What I'm concerned about there is that if they don't get there on time, only the things that we've bought will count.
34:27Oh, God.
34:28Which is a nightmare.
34:32Do you remember when we parked the car?
34:34Yeah, down that way.
34:35I mean, normally, you should be able to get here in that time.
34:44Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me!
34:46It's five o'clock as well, though, which is just starting to get very busy.
34:48Well, I don't know. It's five past five now.
34:50Is your watch exactly right?
34:56Bloody...
34:57When he said you can have it free, I was like, you're what?
35:00I thought he was in the twilight zone.
35:01I thought he was in the twilight zone.
35:02I was like, what?
35:03And I think it helped the fact that we spoke their language.
35:06Because, you know, that's respectful in our countries, isn't it?
35:08Is it?
35:09That's how I get away with murder.
35:16I don't know where they are.
35:17I've got butterflies.
35:18I'm going to ring them.
35:19But let's not do it too often, because we'll only stress them some more and it won't achieve anything.
35:23I'll ring them. We should ring them at 20 past five.
35:25Of course, past five.
35:26If we get there for 5.30 as it stands, we've done all right.
35:28We've done pretty well, but we didn't get the bowler.
35:30But that was not really down to...
35:32We've done everything that was asked of us initially.
35:35I'm just surprised they dawdled for so long to try and get that last product.
35:39But hey.
35:40We will deal with that when it happens.
35:43When it happens.
35:44Absolutely.
35:45But remember, guys, also, we've saved money so the bowler won't be too much of a hit.
35:49As long as we get there on time.
35:50Yeah, as long as we get there on time.
35:52Hello, gang.
35:53Right, are you in your car?
35:56Yeah.
35:57Whoever's driving you so has to get their foot on it.
36:00Angel, you need to get your foot on it from the other team as well, please.
36:04Foot down.
36:05Where are you?
36:06Tottenham Court Road.
36:07Tottenham Court Road?
36:08Tottenham Court Road.
36:09Jesus Christ, you are so...
36:10Get the fly over.
36:11Get the fly over.
36:12You are so going to have to get Anderlo to do some speed driving, mate.
36:15Angel, you so have to get us here. Seriously.
36:23Sir Alan has a busy schedule, but he's never late.
36:30Matthew's group are first to arrive.
36:45But if the rest of his team aren't back soon, he's done for.
36:49Hello, gang.
36:59Uh-oh.
37:00Hello.
37:01Hello.
37:02Hello.
37:03How's everybody?
37:04Good?
37:05It's their rivals, Adele's team, who arrive next.
37:08Hang up.
37:09Hello.
37:10Oh my God.
37:11There are so many freeze blocks on that.
37:30Time to tot up the items and the prices they're about to find out who did best
37:53and in the losing team someone's going to get fired
38:00will you send them in so I was ready to see you know you can go through
38:23tell me why couldn't you get one of these
38:51because around and we did a lot shopping around and the cheapest price we found was around about
38:5890 100 pounds I say Margaret give us the numbers well I've got the impact spend number which is

43:00guys I mean don't don't beat ourselves up about it we did really really well I have to say that we're
43:06we're a team I obviously have to hold response some responsibility however I can't accept they have
43:13to hold a hundred percent responsibility because we all had our part to play and everybody has to
43:20accept that we all contributed to the success or failure in our case it's failure so well done guys

43:53go in with her and shake a hand and say goodbye to her that's fine
43:56oh
43:59I
44:16Love Francis
44:25Hi, will you send them in place?
44:29We can go through now.
44:31Thank you Francis.
44:53Tim, what's it like on behalf of the boys and yourself being on the losing side?
44:57You don't seem to be so pollo about it at the moment.
45:01I'm still as cheeky as ever. That hasn't changed.
45:03That will never change my personality.
45:05But the fact is, it's a bit of a bitter pill to swallow.
45:07But in the day, it's not something that I feel was because we made massive mistakes.
45:13It's we were beaten by a better team.
45:15Adele, what was the strategy? Can you define, you tell me what it was.
45:21Okay. Because of the nature of the project, I thought there's going to be a lot of telephone numbers being exchanged.
45:25I'm going to need some secretarial support.
45:27So I asked Miranda to give me that support and be my assistant effectively.
45:33Miranda was made a PA?
45:35Yes, she was my assistant.
45:37She was to assist me with making notes, writing down phone calls and just keeping track of everything as it occurred during the day.
45:44How did that work for you, Miranda, do you think?
45:47I think being given the role of PA didn't fully exploit my skills.
45:51In my day-to-day business, I buy and sell stock and negotiate deals, buying in products.
45:57Adele knows this and I was quite confused as to, with my knowledge background, business background that I have,
46:03why she put me in the role of Secretary of PA.
46:06Let's get down to the brass tacks here. Starting from that end for no reason, who let the team down?
46:13Every building has to have successful foundations and the foundations, unfortunately for our building,
46:19weren't rock solid in the strategy. So I would say Adele.
46:24Miranda?
46:26I feel as though titles and roles were given to people inappropriately
46:30and the structure that was initially put into place was more generic rather than identifiably focused on the task at hand.
46:37This led me to feel as though there was messy leadership and not much structure.
46:42So once again, I would have to say Adele.
46:45Miriam?
46:47For me, my biggest frustration on this task was a lack of definable structure and measurable achievements
46:53and I think that that didn't come down from the top, so I think Adele.
46:59Not looking good, is it?
47:02You always need a scapegoat and it's very easy to blame the project.
47:05No, not necessarily.
47:06And I would always be the first choice, wouldn't I, because that's natural.
47:09Tim?
47:10I think basically everybody performed well in the tasks that were given
47:14and if we were successful, the buck stops with the project manager.
47:17So I would say Adele.
47:18Yeah, that's why I would say that would go without saying, yeah.
47:21Again, I think everybody on the team gave it their best, but because we did lack of some structure
47:26and some clarity from the outset.
47:29Blaming the boss.
47:31Why does this remind me of football still?
47:34Everything that went on on that pitch I got the blame for and I don't even play.
47:38Right, well come on Adele then, it's down to it.
47:42You're going to have to pick two of your colleagues that are going to come back in this ballroom with you
47:45because it seems to me that there's a kind of unanimous opinion amongst all these people.
47:50They want to blame you, they want to blame the boss.
47:52Yeah, that's typical sabotage, I mean.
47:55Oh, Christian, I wouldn't say sabotage.
47:56Well, Adele, I respect you as the project manager.
48:00I understand.
48:01And I said at the beginning, I will sign up and do whatever is necessary to do that.
48:04Alright, come on, give it to me.
48:07Okay, Miranda, because she was very, very aggressive throughout the day,
48:10there was no team spirit, she was always arguing with me.
48:12She certainly didn't keep the notes well organised.
48:16In fact, most of the time today was two or three minutes myself looking for numbers
48:19because she hadn't organised herself effectively.
48:22In terms of Tim, he didn't communicate effectively.
48:25And thirdly, Ben's job as a negotiator I found extremely poor.
48:30He did the diamond, it was the first thing that he did, but then he seemed to just lose momentum.
48:35It was like, oh, I've done that now, I don't care.
48:37Can I just say just one quick thing because Ben finished the diamond
48:40and it's not like he sat back and just relaxed.
48:42Ben continued out for the whole day and was brilliant in terms of making sure
48:45that the energy levels were higher, etc.
48:47I don't think you need to justify Ben, I think you should justify himself.
48:51I can do the same thing.
48:52Tim, very commendable, very commendable.
48:53I agree with Adele here.
48:55Ben, you should be talking for yourself, Ben.
48:57Thank you, Tim.
48:58I was hopefully educating and supporting the people on how to negotiate
49:01and I was hopefully giving them the verbal ammunition to go in there
49:06and negotiate.
49:07If I could also say as well, I'm slightly confused as to you comment
49:11to say that I wasn't cooperating with you because that contradicts the comment
49:15of congratulations that you...
49:16No, I didn't give you congratulations.
49:18PA skills last night.
49:19What I said was at points during the day you were efficient,
49:22but at other points you were a hindrance because what you were doing...
49:25No, I think that the one's disruptive...
49:27Can I just finish?
49:28At one point you were running across the street and I think Nick witnessed this
49:31and I couldn't find you and I was erratic thinking, where has Miranda gone?
49:35You were erratic for most of the day, I noticed, so there wasn't much change there.
49:38So that was fine, but then I looked and you're over the other side of the road
49:41and I had to say to you, Miranda, you can't run off, we have to stay cohesive
49:45and we have to stay in the team.
49:46Well, I think...
49:47Yes, yeah.
49:48And then later on in the day...
49:49Do I get a chance to respond to you today?
49:50Like you are now, can I just finish?
49:51Like what you're doing now, you interjected...
49:53When I asked you to make a phone call to the other team to say I was getting on,
49:56you passed me that phone and said you were project manager.
49:59I found that very intimidating.
50:00That was not your words.
50:01And I thought that that was most rude.
50:02Miranda, what's the point you're making?
50:04To be blunt about it, was it that you didn't like being called a PA?
50:08I have no problem with being given a title, whether it be PA or anything else,
50:12when I feel that it's in the correct circumstance.
50:15I felt as though I delivered the job as PA exceedingly well.
50:19Miranda, what tended to happen was that we were passing...
50:22Right, okay, we'll just get out here.
50:24I explained to you why I wanted to go to these down.
50:26Just panic stations.
50:27Enough, it's a bickering.
50:28You sound like too old washer with me and arguing with you.
50:31That's what I had all day yesterday, Sir Olin.
50:33Name them.
50:34Ben and Miranda.
50:37For the rest of you, you can get off back to the house.
50:41You three, wait out there and I'll call you back in
50:45because, as you know, one of you is going to get fired.
50:52I'm going to go ahead and try this to the house.
50:54He's doing a six-year-old, you've got a nap today.
50:55Stop.
50:56Stop.
50:57Keep going.
50:58Stop.
50:59Keep going.
51:00Stop.
51:01Go.
51:02Stop.
51:03Stop.
51:04Sorry.
51:05Stop.
51:10Stop.
51:11Stop.
51:12Stop.
51:13Stop.
51:15Stop.
51:16Stop.
51:17Stop.
51:18Stop.
51:19Stop stop.
51:20I've got an idea, but in my mind, I need to talk to him a bit more.
51:39I mean, I really do.
51:41I mean, I've got to stop this bickering, because it's nonsense, and try and get some sense out of it, really.
51:45You'll get a disciplined answer from Ben, frankly,
51:49where the other two are just sort of at each other's throats.
51:52Yeah.
52:05You're fighting for your position now, Ben.
52:08You tell me why you think you should stay, and why someone else should go.
52:13I think if we look at the reason I'm here, I'm confused why I am here.
52:17And I'll give you the main reasons behind that.
52:20Diamond was specifically given to me because it was the toughest, or perceived to be one of the toughest products to acquire.
52:26And I went in, and I think in comparison to the other team, I was £10 cheaper.
52:30I negotiated a £10 better deal.
52:31So I really would be quite concerned if I'm not walking out of this boardroom and going back to come back in and work with you again someday.
52:43Miranda, tell me why you think you should stay here vis-a-vis this task.
52:48I believe that I've been brought into this boardroom for no other reason apart from the fact that yesterday, when Adele initially labelled me as PA, she followed it up immediately by saying,
53:00you do realise that if we fail this task, you will be coming into the boardroom with me.
53:04No, I didn't. It's an absolute lie. And if Tim was here, he would back me up and say, it's on camera, Miranda, so do not lie.
53:10Just get to the bottom line, Adele, because, you know, it's not looking great here.
53:14What I find in this situation is it's very, very difficult sometimes, because we are all competitive.
53:18It's very, very difficult, and you always feel like you're rallying for position.
53:23You can't get a word in edgeways, and I just don't think that sometimes there's that respect.
53:28And that makes it in particular difficult, especially when you've got instances like yesterday, when, you know, we're up against the timeline,
53:33and then you've got Miranda interjecting and arguing and running away.
53:37It's just very, very difficult in those circumstances.
53:41Everybody was running. We all ran because...
53:42You don't run over the road, but I don't want to get into that story.
53:43Well, we ran because there wasn't structure, once again. We were all panicking.
53:47That's nonsense. We had to stay together.
53:48Because we had nobody who we could look up to as a figure of authority.
53:50Yes, you did, but you'd run away without any instruction to do so.
53:54You were told to stay in a group of rounders.
53:56Ben's been exactly the same. He was running down the street.
53:58Everybody was panicking. Everybody was trying to win the task,
54:00because we had no structure from our leader, from our project manager.
54:04Without telling me, you do not run over the road.
54:06And that is nonsense, and it's easy to have a scapegoat in this situation.
54:10It's very, very easy.
54:12Ben, who should go?
54:14I'm sticking with my original decision, which was Adele.
54:17And Adele, who should go? There's three of you now. Who should go?
54:23Miranda, because she hindered, without a shadow of a doubt,
54:25she hindered my performance yesterday and made it very difficult in adverse circumstances.
54:31And Miranda?
54:32Adele should go without a shadow of a doubt.
54:36Well, here's how I see it.
54:39Ben, there's accusations of you being a little bit lazy.
54:43You've defended your corner on that.
54:47Miranda, what I'm hearing here is that you basically rebelled, quite frankly.
54:53That's why I'm getting the vibes here, that you were kind of disruptive,
54:57didn't really want to go along with the authority,
55:01didn't like the position you got given, and was disruptive.
55:05And Adele, you let me down, Adele.
55:10You have let me down.
55:12Really, you have let me down, because I have put my bet on you.
55:16I let you be the task leaguer this time.
55:19And I'm hearing bits and pieces about lack of control in certain areas and disorganisation.
55:25I'm very, very disappointed, I've got to tell you.
55:29But I'll tell you what disappoints me the most.
55:34Lack of respect for the leader.
55:37Bickering and arguing, wasting time.
55:40And on that basis, Miranda, I've got to tell you, you're fired.
55:44I'm sorry that you have to go, but that's life.
55:50It's back to the house for you two.
55:52Let's hope we meet again, under better circumstances.
56:06I'll tell you, what saved that Adele again was,
56:09and I tend to believe her,
56:10that she disagreed with her team leader the last time,
56:13but nevertheless, she got stuck in and got behind her.
56:16What I can't tolerate is somebody in the team
56:18who was what I feel was disruptive.
56:22And therefore, if they're disruptive, they're no bloody good,
56:24because you don't need saboteurs in the team.
56:27You might not agree with what your boss is doing,
56:28but you've got to get your head down and get on and do it.
56:30My feelings towards Adele right now aren't really malice of any sort.
56:40My feelings towards Adele right now aren't really malice of any sort.
56:54And I think that she's a very confused person,
56:58and I think that she has quite a lot of insecurities,
57:02which manifest themselves in many, many different ways.
57:05So in some respects, it's almost pity, if anything.
57:10I know that might sound quite rich,
57:11given the fact that I'm in the taxi on the way home.
57:14But no, I mean, I'm completely confident with my position
57:17and completely thrilled with the experiences I've had.
57:25One job.
57:26Now, 11 candidates.
57:29Sir Alan's search for his apprentice continues.
57:32Next week.
57:37Now, I've got a friend of mine who's got a corner shop.
57:43It's called Harrods.
57:45A million square feet.
57:48Matthew, do be careful.
57:50Seven floors.
57:51Fuck it, I'll cross them out on the way down.
57:54330 departments.
57:56I think we need to review our strategy.
57:57Have we got all the wrong products?
57:59Yeah.
57:59The most luxurious department store in the world.
58:01I think you've got enough problems yourselves.
58:03Oh, God.
58:05I would fire anybody that produced that as a table.
58:08We haven't peaked yet, have we?
58:10As long as we get money in the till, I don't care what we do.
58:14Teeth make smiles.
58:16And smiles make sales.
