00:00£250,000. It's an acorn which we want grown into a great oak tree.
00:08Lord Sugar's on the hunt for a brand new business partner.
00:12If you think this process is tough, it's just got a whole lot tougher. Over the next 12
00:18weeks, you are out of your comfort zone.
00:21Ready to fight for his funding, 18 aspiring entrepreneurs.
00:27Buy and demand, that's what this is about. I'm demanding the answers, you better bloody
00:32well supply them.
00:34On the table, a quarter million pound investment. And a 50-50 partnership with Britain's toughest
00:42backer.
00:43You haven't used any of your skills, any of your knowledge. Mistake on that, mistake on
00:48this, straight in the bin.
00:50There Rich, come on!
00:51Let's go mate.
00:52It's a deal worth battling for.
00:54You are such a manipulator. I can see straight through you.
00:5818 candidates.
01:00Yeah!
01:01Gestures out of the way.
01:02We're going to be explosive.
01:0412 testing weeks.
01:05I really don't know what to do.
01:06This is for you young man, don't cry.
01:08Oh my God.
01:09One life-changing opportunity.
01:12You're fired, you're fired. This is a bad call on strategy. You're fired.
01:25Previously on The Apprentice.
01:28I want you to create a children's book and sell them to retailers.
01:33I like dragons.
01:34Yeah, I like this idea.
01:35Sam the wordsmith.
01:36What about snuffle gruffle?
01:38Got writer's block.
01:40It's not this hard, I don't think.
01:42While Natalie.
01:43What do you want to know?
01:44My discount percentage.
01:45Lost the plot.
01:46OK, I'm here to think.
01:48Waste of time.
01:50On the other team.
01:51Buzzy, buzzy, buzzy, buzzy, buzzy.
01:53Swishing and swirling and tumbling and turning.
01:55Project manager Charlene.
01:57Can you stop talking one second, Richard? Is David there, please?
02:00Wrote Richard off.
02:01I'll go grab a coffee.
02:02See you later, mate.
02:03I'll be sweet outside.
02:04See you later.
02:05But in the final chapter.
02:06Deal.
02:07Deal.
02:08A fairytale ending.
02:11Well done.
02:12McGim made an absolute blinder.
02:14Praise for McGim.
02:15That was good to take advantage of the situation.
02:17While Sam.
02:18I don't know, I'm struggling.
02:20Richard was lost for words.
02:22You spent three hours deciding on what you're going to name this thing
02:25and now you want to pontificate again.
02:27Brett wasn't.
02:28Oh, shit you not.
02:29I would fire Natalie straight away.
02:31In the end.
02:32Your pitch was terrible.
02:33Yeah, it didn't go very well.
02:35Natalie got pulped.
02:37You're fired.
02:38Thank you.
02:39She became the fifth casualty of the boardroom.
02:42I'm so sorry.
02:44Now 13 remain to fight for the chance to become
02:48Lord Sugar's business partner.
03:025.30am
03:13Hello.
03:14Good morning.
03:15Lord Sugar would like you to meet him at Weir Road, Ballam.
03:17You must be wearing high-vis jackets
03:19and steel toe-capped boots.
03:21The cars will be outside in 20 minutes.
03:25Come on guys, 20 minutes!
03:27You've got to wear a high-vis jacket and steel toe-caps.
03:32It's either making something or constructioning.
03:35It must be interesting, Brett, to see if your team can finally get a win.
03:39So you're going to dye the footwear we have?
03:42I think Elle's desperate for one, isn't she?
03:44Oh yeah, Elle's is construction, isn't she?
03:47Elle's is construction and she hasn't worn a task yet.
04:01I came in the process, everyone looked at me and thought
04:04he's a jokey character and underestimated me completely.
04:07I'm surprised you're still in the game, to be fair.
04:10Last boardroom, Lord Sugar praised me in front of everyone.
04:13If he's praising you, you've done something right, do you know what I mean?
04:16I want to be project manager today.
04:19A South London builders' merchant.
04:24Waiting for the team's four white vans.
04:37Good morning.
04:38Good morning, Lord Sugar.
04:39Now, any business partner of mine needs to know
04:42that making money involves hard work.
04:45So over the next two days, I want you to set up
04:48and run your own handyman business.
04:51There are a lot of people out there that haven't got much time
04:54so they want other people to do their odd jobs for them.
04:58I've laid on some vans, kitted out with a load of tools.
05:01Everything you need to make money.
05:04Now the team that makes the most profit is going to win
05:08and in the losing team, one of you will be fired.
05:11Now, there's a few people here
05:13that have got some experience in this field, I believe.
05:16There's you, Joseph, El and Brett the Builder.
05:20Today's the day, Lord Sugar.
05:21Yeah, I think it is.
05:22Today's the day, you're going to be the project manager.
05:24I am, yes.
05:25Now, like Brett, El, you haven't been project manager
05:28so move over to Versatile and take charge of that team.
05:33And Varna, step over there to balance the teams up.
05:38Off you go.
05:39Worth over £14 billion a year, odd jobs have become big business.
05:45I can do anything when it comes to cleaning, painting.
05:49Simple household tasks, from changing bulbs to clearing backyards
05:54can add up to a tidy profit.
05:56Garden clearances, house clearances, we can get it in, get it out.
05:59Welcome on to the winning team.
06:01Thank you very much, I'm very pleased to be there.
06:03I don't think I could deal with one more loss.
06:05First for Construction Executive El.
06:08Has anybody else got any experience in construction?
06:10Sussing out the strengths of her team.
06:12So I run a plumbing and heating business, running a team of engineers.
06:16I can just about put together some flat-pack furniture.
06:19Perfect, that's all we need.
06:20I've never picked up a screwdriver in my life.
06:22Oh, that's great, wonderful.
06:23I may not know how to build a house
06:25but I definitely know how to order people around
06:28and make sure that they build it for me.
06:30I don't think you need to have a knowledge of anything
06:33to actually be good at your job.
06:34I think it's all about convincing people
06:36that you do know what you're talking about, even if you don't.
06:38Right, I think simplicity is key here.
06:40Window cleaning, you make a lot of money.
06:42I did it myself, I made a fortune.
06:44A day I was making £120.
06:46Oh, really?
06:47And it's easy, you just need a bucket and a sponge.
06:49So we should incorporate that, I think that would be great.
06:51Again, would you be happy to take Subsidy Leader?
06:53I'd love to, I've been dying for it as well.
06:55Since the age of 18, I've been the main breadwinner of the family,
06:59looking after seven people.
07:00When I came to the UK, I was a refugee from a war in Albania.
07:04Came over the Channel, back of a lorry,
07:06and that's what shaped me, the person that I am now,
07:08because it's made me stronger and more determined to be successful.
07:11On the sub team again, I would like you to put forward a lot of input.
07:14Yes.
07:15You'll do a really good job.
07:18Across the yard...
07:19We're going to do everything minor to complete installations
07:22and everything in between, all right?
07:24..standard set by builder Brett.
07:27Always leave it professional, always go with customer satisfaction.
07:30I know this business inside and out.
07:32Hopefully the team I've got can follow my professionalism,
07:35making sure that the customer is always right,
07:37and with that, if they're happy, I'm happy because I'm getting paid.
07:40First port of call, we need to design a flyer.
07:43To help drum up trade, teams can create leaflets.
07:47Print deadline, 9.45.
07:50OK, so what would our slogan be? What is the tagline?
07:53Don't be shy, call your handy guys.
07:55Connecting us to you.
07:57Yes, exactly.
07:59So you happy with that?
08:00Yeah.
08:01Window cleaning is going to have to take prominence on that leaflet.
08:04One minute to the deadline.
08:06Elle is still working on wording.
08:09If you have minor DIY and window cleaning, etc,
08:11I think it tends to look a bit jumbled and a bit like, you know,
08:14a one-man band.
08:15I just think something really simple.
08:17Versatile, London's handy men, stroke handy women.
08:20Elle, you've missed the deadline for your flyer.
08:26Great, so you don't have a flyer now.
08:28That's been completely my fault, sorry about that, guys.
08:31Let's move on.
08:3310.15.
08:34Spend the day today generating leads.
08:36Bang doors, do what you've got to do.
08:38Tomorrow will be the day where we'll go bang.
08:40Time to head out in search of work.
08:44I do think that the flyer was a huge, huge setback.
08:48It's going to look bad on us.
08:49So what we're going to have to do,
08:51we just have to write notes and slip through the letterbox.
08:53Can you imagine you seeing a sheet of paper torn out, handwritten?
08:56Would you think that they can do a good job with your DIY?
09:00The only way we've got to do it, we have to do it.
09:02But would you? I'm asking.
09:03We're not arguing about it.
09:04Listen, guys, we're cracking on with it.
09:06It's the only way we've got to do the flyer.
09:08I made the decision.
09:09Lord Sugar's tipped off the teams
09:11about two commercial contracts up for grabs.
09:14With the knowledge and the experience that I have got,
09:17it should quite happily secure the deal.
09:19OK.
09:20First for Brett, Sam and Selina, an East End theatre.
09:24Is there ever any reasons why you haven't got jobs
09:26or why you've lost it to a competitor?
09:28Well, never.
09:30Well, that's good, then. We're going to win, aren't we?
09:32The brief give the costume department a makeover.
09:36OK, guys, so we need seven rails installed in here.
09:39Now, they need to come out from the walls
09:41and they need to then go into the floor.
09:43And the next part of the job is the shelving unit.
09:45This floor just needs a coat of paint.
09:47Fantastically. We'll have a measure up.
09:49Thank you. Bye-bye.
09:51Both teams will provide a quote
09:53to try and win the war on the floor.
09:55Both teams will provide a quote
09:57to try and win the work for tomorrow.
09:59A sheet of 20mm 8B4 ply.
10:03OK, hold on, let me do one of these things at a time.
10:05Selina, can I borrow your pen, please?
10:07In charge of pricing, private tutor Sam.
10:11Work yourself, Sam.
10:12Two sheets of 18mm by 8B4 ply.
10:1518mm what?
10:17Ply. But do marine ply, it's a lot stronger.
10:20Marine ply, OK.
10:22We need seven lengths of 3B2 by 2.4 CLF.
10:26Let me work out this first.
10:28I'm confused...
10:30Sam, are we done on calculations of materials yet?
10:32Not quite. Let's go.
10:34What was the last thing you wanted after the shell?
10:36Right, we've just been through the specification
10:38of everything that you've wanted
10:40and the cost inclusive of everything, 7, 7, 7.
10:42Oh.
10:44Oh, is that the wrong one you just appointed?
10:46Bear with me two seconds. I'll have a look at the figures.
10:48If we work it out. Do you see the difference?
10:51Hold on.
10:538, 7, 7.
10:558, 7, 7? Wow, OK.
10:57You're not just looking at a cost for the job.
10:59I've got years of experience.
11:01I'm really like an expertise,
11:03like an expert within my field.
11:05I am second to none when it comes to professionalism.
11:07I understand, I understand.
11:09Well, I've got your figures, so I'll be in touch later.
11:11Fantastic.
11:13Lord Sugar's second tip-off...
11:17a South London football club.
11:19I've worked at grounds similar sizes to this.
11:21For example, Staines Town.
11:23David, I think it'd be great to go in there and start leading it.
11:25Yeah.
11:27Aiming to score for Elle's team...
11:29Hi, David. Hi, David.
11:31..sports marketeer David.
11:33And how did you get on this season?
11:35We finished fourth this season.
11:37I'm sorry to hear that,
11:39but hopefully we'll be able to do a good operation clean-up
11:41for you today.
11:43Hopefully.
11:45So all these stands to be power washed.
11:47All these stands to be repainted.
11:49So we can actually get all of this done for you for £500.
11:51How much?
11:53£500.
11:55I believe that we'll be the right people for the job for you.
11:57I'll get back to you.
11:59Brilliant. Well, thank you very much.
12:01I think he looked shocked.
12:03I think his face says it all.
12:05He was like, how much?
12:07It could be how much is in, God, that's expensive.
12:09It could be how much is in, God, that's really cheap.
12:11Across town...
12:13Right, guys, pick a long street that's got loads of shops
12:15and commercials and literally just door-knocking them.
12:17There's a gold mine.
12:19Armed with McGim's makeshift flyers...
12:21Can I put this on your window?
12:23That's fine.
12:25..the rest of El's team
12:27look to reel in the readies.
12:29So we wanted to know
12:31if you would want us
12:33to clean your windows.
12:35This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
12:37Make me a favour in and out, Piper.
12:39£7 inside out.
12:41OK, good.
12:43Ready? Let's sing while we do it.
12:45When I'm cleaning windows...
12:49I'm sweating.
12:51Voila!
12:53First cash in the bank.
12:55Excellent. Thank you very much.
12:57Ready? Let's go.
12:59Next window, please.
13:01Loving it.
13:03That's £10 today.
13:05Woo!
13:07On the other team...
13:09Excuse me, guys, just interested in any handyman jobs this weekend?
13:12Can I give you a flyer to take away?
13:14Targeting well-heeled Dulwich...
13:16Hello, we're doing odd jobs for any sort.
13:18Gardening, painting, cleaning, anything like that.
13:20..Gary, Scott and Vahna.
13:22We just wanted to come around and ask
13:24if you could potentially help us understand
13:26the market around here, understand what people could need.
13:28I think market research
13:30is one of the most important aspects of this task
13:32to determine which projects
13:34we want to take on.
13:36Do you think that this neighbourhood is more about gardening?
13:38What a complete waste of time.
13:40These are the different things that we do
13:42and we want to know which streets
13:44are sort of best to go to.
13:46I don't get their strategy.
13:48It's the afternoon and instead of knocking on doors
13:50their strategy is, what, standing around
13:52doing market research, not doing business.
13:54We're called connexus.
13:56Connecting.
13:58Yeah, connecting people together.
14:02Just half a mile away...
14:04So the work at hand
14:06is to power wash our stands,
14:08grease or cigarette butts, the bird poo.
14:10At the football club,
14:12Brett's turn to tender.
14:14If we can just do a bit of a measure-up
14:16and just walk it out.
14:18OK, crack on.
14:20Question, if we get this bid, do we have to do it?
14:24For me personally, the overheads on this one
14:26is very, very minimal.
14:28You're talking the power washer rental and then the paint.
14:30So how many hours do you think we'd need to spend?
14:32You're looking at about five, six hours.
14:34Really? Yeah, easy.
14:36With the secondary standard.
14:38So if you're saying six hours of labour...
14:40Yeah, six hours at £20 per hour.
14:42That's £60.
14:44Six sixes are 36.
14:46£30 an hour.
14:48Yeah, each, wasn't it?
14:50Yeah, so 120.
14:52No, because there's three of us.
14:54It's £20 an hour per person
14:56for us to be here.
14:58So each of us are doing six hours.
15:00It's a total of 18 hours.
15:02So that's 20 times 18.
15:04£360.
15:06Yes, it was £360.
15:08Hello. Hi.
15:10Myself and my team have walked it through.
15:12The overall figure is £480.70.
15:14I do leave an immaculate finish
15:16and the job will be second to none.
15:18OK, well, thank you, guys. I'll get back to you.
15:20Thanks so much for your time.
15:224pm.
15:24For the window cleaners,
15:26a plan to branch out.
15:28So far, we've cleaned two shops.
15:30I'm concerned that the working day
15:33is coming to an end.
15:35From April.
15:37Perhaps we need to think
15:39more of the personal DIY.
15:41It could be more profitable
15:43to do that.
15:45I was wondering if you would like us
15:47to do your windows and if you had
15:49any other DIY services
15:51that you needed. Sure. How much are you charging
15:53for that? For our DIY work,
15:55we do £10 an hour.
15:57A couple of shelves that could do with fixing.
15:59Sure. You see, some of them are loose.
16:01OK. It's quite simple.
16:03McGim and his team, they're pounding the streets,
16:05they're finding work and they're getting stuck in.
16:07The problem is, April is touting them
16:09at £10 an hour, but that's only £3.33
16:11each.
16:13At this rate, they're not going to make any money.
16:15What I need is a bigger nail.
16:20McGim? Yes?
16:22Do you know what you're doing? Yeah.
16:24Screwing a nail.
16:26Screwing a nail? Yeah.
16:28I don't think you screw a nail.
16:30Oh, no.
16:32It's my big hole.
16:34There you go. And tighten it.
16:36That's right.
16:38That shelf is not straight.
16:40I think they're meant to be like this.
16:42Is that right, madam?
16:44Are they meant to lean to one side
16:46or are they meant to stay straight?
16:48They're meant to stay straight.
16:50We won't charge for the shelves. Are you happy with the windows?
16:52Yeah, the windows are great. Thank you.
16:54Thank you very much. Thank you. Cheers.
16:56Hello, how are you? All right?
16:58The last place we went to,
17:00the shelves didn't really work out.
17:02The lady just paid us for the windows.
17:04How much money do you earn?
17:06So, around £21.
17:10We charged an hourly rate
17:12of £10 an hour.
17:14For three? Yeah, it's very, very cheap.
17:16Oh, really? Yeah, it's dirt cheap.
17:18Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
17:22They struggled to put up a shelf,
17:24which is one of the most basic DIY tasks
17:26out there,
17:28and they didn't even complete the job.
17:30They're going to struggle to do a job
17:32that's worth £80, £200.
17:34I'm concerned that if we can go out there
17:36and do loads of bloody windows tomorrow,
17:38we are never going to make the money.
17:40Let's hope we land some of these big jobs.
17:42For Elle,
17:44last chance to secure a commercial contract.
17:48At the East London Theatre...
17:50So, we're going to need, basically, screws.
17:52We're going to need a hacksaw to cut the bar in half.
17:55Taking centre stage,
17:57Plumber Joseph.
17:59Let's work it out on ply, worst case.
18:01So, it's £13 a square metre.
18:03How long do we think it's going to take time-wise?
18:05Joe, how long do you reckon it'd take per one of those?
18:07To make one of those, I'd like to allow
18:09half an hour to 45 minutes per one.
18:11Elle was made project manager
18:13of this task because this is what she does.
18:15She manages construction
18:17and she manages jobs like this.
18:19But I've seen no evidence of it.
18:21Well, what price would you put it at?
18:23She's relying on Joseph
18:25to cost everything.
18:27I'll try and pitch it with the quality aspect.
18:29She's relying on Richard to do all the pitches.
18:31I'm not sure what she's doing.
18:33So, we're at a
18:35full locked-in job cost
18:37at £560.
18:39OK.
18:41It's considerably higher.
18:43What pricing would help us
18:45win this job for you?
18:47Considerably lower.
18:49£560 is the best price that we can get to
18:52and it's a good price, Lee, it really is.
18:54I'm sure, I'm sure.
18:56Well, thanks for your time and I'll be in touch later.
18:58Thank you, no, appreciate that.
19:00If I lose both these pitches,
19:02I'll probably just pack my suitcase and walk away
19:04and go, thanks very much for the opportunity
19:06because it's just a bit embarrassing.
19:105pm.
19:12Yet to take a penny,
19:14Gary, Varna and Scott.
19:16Hi, Rachel, how you doing?
19:18You OK? I saw you earlier today
19:21From their flyers, finally, a lead.
19:23I was just giving you a call if you were still around
19:25if we could potentially
19:27pop by and have a look at the garden.
19:29Yeah, that'd be fine.
19:31Brilliant. All right, see you soon.
19:35How have you got that?
19:37Best of luck.
19:39Hello, how you doing? You OK?
19:41Now, my main problem
19:43is getting rid of this
19:45whole layer and put
19:47a new retaining wall there.
19:49I can see in my head already,
19:51I've visioned it, we can flatten it out
19:53at the back there as well.
19:55I think, personally, as crazy as it might sound to you,
19:57this is a structure which can come down.
19:59I can imagine it looking amazing,
20:01especially in the summer.
20:03Scott is getting carried away
20:05with a whole idea of getting
20:07a sail, taking down walls,
20:09levelling the whole thing off.
20:11It's impossible to achieve in a day.
20:13It could be a disaster.
20:15It's a very big job.
20:186pm.
20:20Time to find out
20:22if the pitches paid off.
20:24For Brett...
20:26Brilliant.
20:28I was really, really impressed with what you guys did.
20:30A result on the football contract.
20:32Manfred, that's absolutely
20:34amazing, fantastic, thank you ever so much.
20:36Brilliant.
20:38For Al,
20:40a call back from the theatre.
20:42You were just as close,
20:44but still not quite cheap enough.
20:47I need you to come back to me
20:49with enough price.
20:51Just bear with me one moment, hold the line.
20:53I have no experience in negotiations.
20:55I'd go 525.
20:57If you're worried about doing the negotiation, let me do it.
20:59Hi Lee, it's Richard.
21:01Here's what I see. We're saying 560,
21:03but we will bring that back down to 525.
21:05All I have on the table
21:07is £300.
21:09How about
21:11475?
21:13The maximum I can go to
21:16is 375.
21:18And that is the last offer I have on the table.
21:20If your hand was here, I'd shake it.
21:22Cheers Lee, bye now, bye bye.
21:24It is something in the kitty.
21:26Everything's going to have to be precision.
21:28No messing about, no stopping, no toilet breaks,
21:30literally hitting it. Solid, yeah?
21:38We're going to get the vans loaded.
21:40You guys get your crap together.
21:428.30am.
21:4410 hours to increase profits.
21:48Brett's troops hit the road.
21:50I need a strategy for the sub team.
21:52You just need to wipe £10 jobs off the list.
21:54Fixing their approach,
21:56Elle's team.
21:58Do you guys feel that you're strong enough
22:00with handiwork?
22:02All I need is the equipment, mate, and I'll just crack on with it.
22:04No offence, but you proved yesterday you can't put up a shelf.
22:06I'm not going to let a screwdriver defeat me, mate.
22:08You must be mad.
22:11I think painting, yeah, easy.
22:13I can paint, it's easy.
22:15Just paint the walls, mate.
22:17Do you feel comfortable doing this?
22:19Yeah.
22:21100%.
22:29This is so gross.
22:31Having won the football pitch.
22:33Oh bloody hell, there's so much crap.
22:35Brett's crew clean up.
22:37I do feel like we're being punished for something.
22:40Selena, I've got scrapers down here if you want to get chewing gum and that up.
22:42Don't give me the crap jobs to do.
22:44So basically we're going to go
22:46water, chewing gum, brush.
22:48Yeah.
22:52Did you start power washing, Sam?
22:54Power washing? Are you sure?
22:56Yeah.
22:58I pride myself on customer satisfaction.
23:00There's nothing worse than completing a job
23:02and at the very end someone says
23:04I'm really not happy with that.
23:06I can't do the chewing gum.
23:08Yeah, it's just a complete messy nightmare.
23:10Well unfortunately that's the process in which we're going to do it.
23:12You've got a fully sharp chisel there.
23:14It just might need a little bit more available grease, that's all.
23:16So just carry on.
23:22East London.
23:24Joseph, the second we get in that theatre
23:26I am no longer the project manager, you are that project manager.
23:28The costume store refurb.
23:30Right, let's do this now, yeah?
23:32Quick. Morning, how are you?
23:34You okay?
23:37I'm going to take Elle downstairs to the dressers, yeah?
23:39Working up a sweat already.
23:41Richard, I think you're going to have to help Elle.
23:43I know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
23:45We've got to go higher.
23:47Hang on.
23:49Push it back up.
23:51So that exact measurement from there to there
23:53of 1175.
23:55Oh, 1175.
23:57Yeah, 1175, that's in mil, yeah?
23:59Millimetres.
24:01All I can say is thank God Joseph's here
24:03because Elle's the project manager
24:06but you wouldn't know it, Joseph certainly feels like he's running the show.
24:08Joe? Yes?
24:10How am I going to paint this floor with all the dust all over it?
24:12We're going to sweep and you're going to start painting.
24:14What else can I do in the meantime?
24:20Across town.
24:22Morning. Morning.
24:24Now set on paintwork, the rest of the team.
24:26So it's the outside frame, you can go round the side.
24:28Basically everything that's purple now needs to be...
24:30Needs to be done.
24:32The new purple. No problem. Perfect.
24:34Hello?
24:38Could you tell me the size of the window?
24:40It's quite high.
24:42Does it include a door?
24:44Just the door frame.
24:46We'll be able to do it for 100.
24:48OK, yeah. Yeah, perfect.
24:50See you later. Bye.
24:52If we're quiet, we ain't earning.
24:54We need to go from job to job to job.
24:56Hopefully we'll be able to raise
24:58a little bit more today.
25:00Might not be able to use a screwdriver
25:03Good boy, carry on.
25:07For the other team...
25:09Can't wait to get my hands dirty.
25:11Scott's ambitious garden makeover.
25:13Are we going to level out that ground?
25:15We will do.
25:17You do normally need
25:19some form of machinery.
25:21Scott, maybe this isn't
25:23feasible to do in one day.
25:25Last day for it?
25:27I planned the weather for you.
25:29There's a fork there which you might find useful.
25:32Tweaking the terms, Varna.
25:34Rachel, I just want to set your expectations right.
25:36Because it's such a big job
25:38we probably wouldn't be able to do it
25:40all in one day.
25:42I know I'm sort of like the bad cop
25:44but we have to try to narrow down
25:46the priorities and make a list.
25:48We could clear that whole back bed.
25:50We're going to do the weeding.
25:52We're going to tidy up the stairs
25:54and just make sure everything looks spick and span.
25:56That would be absolutely lovely.
25:58Left to his own devices, Scott would have landed
26:01Varna stepped in and said let's just revisit this.
26:03Our rates are £25 each per hour.
26:05That's fine.
26:07They've got the deal for what will be
26:09just a basically clearing up and tidying up job
26:11quite feasible within the time span.
26:13Make hay while the sun shines
26:15so to say.
26:17Lunch time.
26:23The seats are shit high.
26:25It's not an easy job to do all this.
26:27Look how gross this is.
26:29I just don't want standards to slip.
26:31What do you want us to do?
26:33Get this power washed and swept down.
26:35Come on, let's get through it.
26:37We ain't got no time to wait.
26:39It's not working.
26:41Try and get this done between 4.30
26:43and then get another job in.
26:45Less is more.
26:49Clear to go through here.
26:51You have to tilt it up.
26:53At the theatre, in charge of cutting
26:55costume rails, David.
26:58That's exactly where I need the cut to be.
27:00Have you got a tape measure in here?
27:02Can you just confirm that's the right measurement?
27:04That's 107.
27:06It shouldn't be 107. It should be 1175.
27:08That's 107.
27:10Sorry.
27:12Just get involved here.
27:14Can I just borrow this tape measure?
27:16So now that bit's too short.
27:18And now that bit's too short.
27:20I don't know why I got that wrong.
27:22So if you remark now every one you cut, yeah?
27:24Sorry about that, Jason.
27:27I feel like I've had to take control of a lot of this task.
27:29Let's crack on with cutting one by, yeah?
27:31Let's get moving, yeah?
27:33I feel that Elle needs to be a little bit more decisive
27:35and a little bit more organised.
27:37Luckily, she's had me today, so I've got her out of the...
27:39...shit.
27:43For the rest of the team...
27:45Can I have some more paint, please?
27:47...finishing touches
27:49to the purple paint job.
27:51I went over the board over there, you see?
27:53No, that seems to be coming off.
27:57No, it ain't coming off.
27:59As you can see, everything's done.
28:01It's just a shame that I went over the edges, you see?
28:03Yeah.
28:05And that bit, yeah, because the wind blew.
28:07A bit of a blob.
28:09I brushed my hand and the wind just blew towards it.
28:11Am I allowed to get away with that, am I?
28:13Are you kidding?
28:15Agreed earlier, £175.
28:17I'll take £30.
28:19Yeah.
28:21Off of the cost.
28:23OK. I do apologise again for that.
28:25I'm not sure he gets the seriousness of the task,
28:27and I am concerned that it could cost us dearly.
28:29We need to crack on to the next job.
28:35I think that looks really good, guys.
28:37In South London...
28:39Oh, my goodness me.
28:41I can't believe what you've done.
28:45...garden job sewn up.
28:47Thank you.
28:49High five to that, sister.
28:51Oh, yeah.
28:54But at the football ground...
28:56We need to be looking at a minimum of five minutes a row now
28:58for these last two.
29:00..a stoppage.
29:02Not going to be able to paint all the stair treads
29:04because they're soaking wet.
29:06We're not going to have manually time to dry them all down.
29:08How many stairs have you done on that side?
29:10Done two rows.
29:12Oh, that's not bad. So you could finish the painting?
29:14No.
29:16I reckon you can finish these, Brett.
29:18I'd rather be upfront and honest with the client
29:20and say straight off the bat,
29:23Brett has come to the realisation
29:25he's not going to finish the work.
29:27He's going to have to renegotiate on price
29:29and, inevitably, it's going to cost him.
29:31He's got the right to just say,
29:33well, it's an incomplete job, I'm not going to pay you.
29:39We're nearly there, guys.
29:41Come on, everybody, hands on deck.
29:43That's it, Rich. Good job.
29:45There is another paintbrush there, though,
29:47so if you want to paint...
29:49I can't do anything.
29:51Oh!
29:53This is looking great, guys.
29:55We did it!
29:57I'm so knackered.
29:5990 minutes to go.
30:01Pharrell curtains down at the theatre,
30:03but no more work lined up.
30:05What's the plan?
30:07I don't really know what to say, to be honest.
30:09We ain't got a lot of time, so make a decision.
30:11Shall we have a regroup with the sub-team,
30:13see if they need any help or anything like that?
30:15Time again. How's it going?
30:17Yeah, not too bad. We've just finished that job.
30:20Did you get the full money for yours?
30:22No, cos I messed up a bit, didn't I?
30:24Now we're going to the second job now.
30:26OK, you've got until 6.30.
30:28How long is it going to take you?
30:30Good question.
30:32It's a £100 job. We're running out of time.
30:34The track record of that sub-team
30:36does not give confidence.
30:38We need to get the £100,
30:40not £80 because we've painted
30:42over somebody's cat.
30:44We need to get there, help them out.
30:46Dulwich.
30:50For Brett,
30:52time to come clean.
30:54Unfortunately, we're not going to be able to complete
30:56the full job as we specified.
30:58We've still got a lot of water on the stairwells over there.
31:00The hazard lines won't be complete.
31:02I think you would agree that we have worked
31:04really, really hard today.
31:06We've got up all the chewing gum.
31:08I didn't expect you to be picking up chewing gum.
31:10Did you not? No.
31:12That was me!
31:14Are we happy for the £480 then, for the full job?
31:16I'm not going to pay the £480.
31:19Out of fairness for your hard work,
31:21I'm willing to do £420.
31:25Can we make it £450?
31:27£440 is my last.
31:29Thank you.
31:31Cheers.
31:33Obviously, as the client, he's well within his rights to do what
31:35he deems necessary and even if
31:37it's classed as a fail, I've shown my leadership
31:39and I've shown the standard of work that I can carry out.
31:41I'll quite happily put my head on the block.
31:43Guys, well done.
31:45Got there in the end.
31:48One hour to go.
31:50For both halves of Elle's team,
31:54one more shop front.
31:56As far as our sub-team was aware,
31:58it was just a window frame in itself?
32:00No, actually it's the whole thing.
32:02Not just the frame.
32:04Who spoke to the lady?
32:06You spoke to her about the size, didn't you?
32:08She said about the frame and the size.
32:10Yeah, she said she's 5'6
32:12and it's above her.
32:14It's definitely above her.
32:16I'm going to have to charge a bit more.
32:18That's okay?
32:20It's quite a big frame.
32:22We've set a price over the phone.
32:24We can only have to honour that price for you.
32:26Get the rollers and the roller tray.
32:28Get the brushes cleaned up.
32:30Common sense prevails.
32:32I can sum up this task by slowly
32:34watching the extinction of the
32:36lesser spotted Elle.
32:38It's a one-way ticket to out of here, I think.
32:40Just 20 minutes left.
32:42My shoes are going to fall off.
32:45I'm thinking that one over there.
32:47It's got a nice car.
32:49It looks like it could do with a little bit of TLC.
32:51We're from Connexus, a handyman services company.
32:53No, no, it's fine, thank you.
32:55If you want to mow the lawn,
32:57you're welcome to mow the lawn.
33:01Speed Gardening, that's what it's all about.
33:03Making cash.
33:05Dave, look at all the paint you're dropping on the floor.
33:07Oh, no.
33:09We're creating more of a problem for ourselves
33:11than anything else.
33:14Get this shit gone.
33:16I need some help with the weeding, there's too many weeds.
33:18I need help with the bush, there's too much bush.
33:20No time to kill at the moment.
33:22The door frames are almost done.
33:24Frames around the windows are almost done.
33:26That's such a good idea, Joe, well done.
33:28It's definitely less weedy.
33:30£50.
33:32So that's £100 a day.
33:34£6.30.
33:36Let's go.
33:38Tools down.
33:40Elle can't even remember me.
33:42It's a good day, isn't it?
33:44Tomorrow, the hammer falls.
34:00You can go through to the boardroom now.
34:12Good morning.
34:14Good morning, Mr Chair.
34:16Now, some of you
34:18might be thinking to yourself,
34:20what was this task all about?
34:22What's this got to do with business?
34:24What's this got to do with being an entrepreneur?
34:26Well, I'll tell you.
34:28I will never ask anybody to do anything
34:30that I can't do myself.
34:32And when I started my business,
34:34I designed the product,
34:36I made the product,
34:38I sold it,
34:41I made the product,
34:43I stood on the production line,
34:45I loaded the lorries,
34:47I sold the product,
34:49and I marketed the product.
34:51A complete all-rounder,
34:53and that's what I'm looking for here.
34:55We'll start off with you, Elle.
34:57For your day job,
34:59you do something to do with basements?
35:01Yes, it's not so hands-on, but yes.
35:03Let me know what happened.
35:05Well, we didn't have a great start to the morning initially.
35:07We missed the deadline for the leaflets.
35:10It was gutting, very gutting,
35:12and I'm really disappointed in myself.
35:14I designed my own flyers,
35:16and I stuck them onto shop windows.
35:18I know it doesn't look very professional,
35:20but I was thinking outside the box, Lord Sugar.
35:22Your point was, look, we haven't got flyers,
35:24I might as well do something.
35:26Yeah.
35:28So you stuck this in the window of a few shops?
35:30Yeah, that's correct, Lord Sugar.
35:32I laid on two big jobs.
35:34That's right.
35:36And you got the theatre job?
35:38Correct, yes.
35:40I negotiated and we managed to get him up to 375.
35:42Down to 375.
35:44I'd just like to say about this,
35:46there is absolutely no way we would have accomplished
35:48any of this job without the help of Joseph.
35:50He was absolutely exceptional.
35:52He ran a military operation.
35:54Right.
35:56McGinn, April and Charlene.
35:58Now, what happened on day one?
36:00Yeah, I was the sub-team leader,
36:02and we specialised in window cleaning.
36:04So on the first day,
36:07you decided to take your money straight away?
36:09Yeah.
36:11That's good.
36:13Your lot didn't, did you?
36:15No.
36:17Basically, on the third job,
36:19unfortunately, it went pear-shaped, Lord Sugar.
36:21What happened?
36:23Well, basically, the actual metal bit of the shelf
36:25was a bit loose,
36:27so I tried to tighten it with a screwdriver
36:29and, like, the hole was getting bigger and bigger
36:31and then all of a sudden,
36:33the hole was about two inches.
36:36You need to keep your eye on him in the house.
36:38I have visions of him trying to fix a toaster in the bath.
36:40On day two,
36:42your team implemented the theatre refurbishment.
36:44What did you lot do?
36:46We had to sand down and paint
36:48the front of the shop.
36:50Right.
36:52As I was painting the top part,
36:54I accidentally went over the sign.
36:56Did they pay you?
36:58Originally, it was £175.
37:00They paid £145.
37:02So you made a hole in the wall in some other's place,
37:05you painted over the sign in this place,
37:07but yet you still got paid.
37:09Yeah.
37:11Elle, as a project manager...
37:13She'll jump up.
37:15Yeah, she kept the enthusiasm
37:17going right the way through.
37:19Right.
37:21Let's move on to Brett.
37:23Connexus has not been the luckiest team
37:25in this process so far.
37:27I should imagine some of you might have thought
37:29that this was the punishment that I sent you out
37:31for community service.
37:33We formulated a flyer before we went our separate ways.
37:35After that was all finalised,
37:37myself, Selina and Sam,
37:39we took care of the commercial leads
37:41at the theatre.
37:43The gentleman there issued us with a list of specifications
37:45on how he wanted the installation to take place.
37:47Sam, you was at the theatre?
37:49I was, yes.
37:51I bet you was. Sorry, he was at Stratford East
37:53and not Stratford-on-Avon, right?
37:55Whilst I was doing the communications with the client,
37:57Sam was jotting down all the information
37:59and the specification in which he wanted it installed.
38:02Did you understand what he was on about?
38:04He was using some jargon that potentially we didn't know.
38:06We were rattling off things like,
38:08this is a 4x2 and that's a 6x5 and that's a 7ft long.
38:10Is he supposed to understand all that?
38:12No, that was...
38:14I mean, he's bad enough, he's slow as it is, deliberating,
38:16and he most probably turned this into a bid
38:18for the HS2 rail system.
38:20And then you went to the football club.
38:22Met with the client and we formulated a quotation
38:24based on the information he supplied.
38:26Was you pleased you got the football job
38:28instead of the theatre job?
38:31If I didn't have time in the afternoon to move on
38:33and perhaps get another job,
38:35then it was going to be more lucrative in the long run.
38:37Now, here's where it gets a bit controversial here,
38:39because this young lady spent about four hours
38:41on her knees scraping chewing gum off the ground.
38:43It felt like longer.
38:45At the end of the day, I always work on a standard
38:47of which I'm happy with.
38:49I know sometimes you might class it as a free item.
38:51He didn't ask you to scrape the chewing gum off, did he?
38:53No, he didn't.
38:55It's a wonder you didn't offer him
38:57that you can get him in the FA Cup also.
38:59And you started to realise that you weren't going to
39:01get this job finished, is that right?
39:03For me, to clean it all down and still have chewing gum residue...
39:05This is your professionalism?
39:07Yeah, that's right.
39:09So your professionalism drove you to explain to him
39:11that I'm so professional
39:13that I can't do the job?
39:15We missed two stairwells.
39:17That was the only part that we missed.
39:19I would have thought the priority would be to complete that job
39:21and to get the full payment.
39:23I agree.
39:25So anyway, the canvassing team, Scott, Gary and Varna,
39:28they went out to generate leads for the following day.
39:30I wanted us to be booked out back-to-back for the whole day.
39:32What, for the second day?
39:34For the second day.
39:36So you'd never actually got any work to get on with immediately?
39:38No, correct.
39:40We wanted to do some market research.
39:42None of us knew about Dulwich, what it had there,
39:44so we wanted to understand...
39:46Market research?
39:48Yes, we wanted to understand...
39:50That's fascinating. How do you market research doing a bit of DIY?
39:52We just wanted to find out who was we targeting, really,
39:54and where the best locations were to go.
39:57However, we got a great lead, Scott got a great lead,
39:59and we'd seen it was great potential for the second day.
40:01This is the ladies' garden.
40:03Scott went in, built up a rapport with the lady,
40:05and Varna...
40:07Can I just interrupt? On the first day,
40:09I think that Scott was very exuberant about what he was able to achieve.
40:11Yeah, I think Varna came in really well
40:13to kind of boundary what we could do.
40:15Varna did a good job in terms of what I'd call managing expectations.
40:17Yeah, absolutely.
40:19All right, well, let's get on to some numbers, then, shall we?
40:21Karen, perhaps you'd like to read out
40:23Versatile's results.
40:25OK, well,
40:27Versatile took £652,
40:29but they spent on
40:31buying materials £121.99,
40:33which gives them a profit
40:35of £530 and a penny.
40:39And Claude,
40:41Connexus?
40:43Connexus had total sales of
40:45£530 and a penny.
40:47And what did you get?
40:50Connexus had total sales
40:52of £1,170
40:54and they had expenditures
40:56of £119.92,
40:58thereby yielding
41:00a profit of £1,050
41:02and 8p.
41:04Very good.
41:06Connexus, at last,
41:08you've had a win.
41:10Well, whatever the outcome of this process,
41:12Brett, it sounds like you can definitely do my bathroom out.
41:14Yeah, that's fine.
41:16After all that hard work,
41:19you deserve some rest and relaxation,
41:21so I'm sending you to be thoroughly pampered
41:23at an authentic
41:25Russian spa.
41:27Off you go, and I'll
41:29see you on the next task.
41:31Well done, Brett.
41:35Well done.
41:37Oh, Brett, you thoroughly deserved that.
41:41Elle, you have been
41:43in the losing team for the first six weeks.
41:45Yes.
41:48It's a good result, considering the resource
41:50that was in your team.
41:52I mean, Joseph is in the plumbing business,
41:54you're in this business.
41:56I would have thought you would have walked it.
41:58Off you go, and I'll see you a bit later.
42:06I know you're not sure what to say about getting your hands dirty,
42:08I'm not sure about getting your face dirty.
42:10What's that mean?
42:12I think you're sitting in the cafe.
42:14Don't be afraid to hit him a bit harder.
42:20There was massive amounts of pressure
42:22on this task for me. However,
42:24I'm always someone who's prided myself on prior preparation
42:26to prevent a piss-poor performance.
42:30I was sat there with my fingers crossed, thinking,
42:32please help me win, and I think we paid off.
42:34Hence why I'm stood here today,
42:36in a bed sheet, after having loads of bushes smacked in my face.
42:38Cheers.
42:44Cheers.
42:48It's my industry, it's Joe's industry,
42:50and Joe performed exceptionally.
42:52I just balled it up.
42:54However, the performance of the sub-team
42:56isn't good enough at this stage of the process.
42:58You guys put 21 quid
43:00cleaning windows, right?
43:02We went out canvassing without any leaflets,
43:04so the best way for us to earn money
43:06is literally to do the simple job.
43:08They couldn't put up a shelf, they painted over a sign,
43:10they messed up the pricing.
43:13The £10 is completely on me,
43:15because I was the one that suggested an hourly rate.
43:17And it's David's job to put a measurement onto a pole.
43:19It doesn't take a rocket scientist
43:21to be able to measure.
43:23You do have a tough task ahead of you, Al.
43:26PHONE RINGS
43:41Can you send the candidates in, please?
43:43Yes, Doctor.
43:45You can go through to the boardroom now.
43:56I'm disappointed.
43:58Very, very disappointed.
44:00You know, when I first heard your story here today,
44:02I thought, oh, this is good,
44:04because they started off, you three,
44:06selling stuff on the first day,
44:08whereas Connexus didn't do anything for the first day.
44:10That's correct, Lord Sugar.
44:12The whole team agreed that we'd do window cleaning.
44:14In your own words,
44:16you said that when you were a younger person,
44:18you used to supplement your income
44:20by going out cleaning windows, right?
44:22That's correct, Lord Sugar.
44:24How much did you say?
44:26£15 to £25 a window.
44:28Why did you take on jobs for three of you
44:30to £7?
44:32Because it was very difficult in the commercial sector.
44:34Ridiculous. April, you were with him, wasn't you?
44:36Yes, Lord Sugar.
44:38Where's your business acumen here?
44:40£7 to clean a window, three of you?
44:42Lord Sugar, it was...
44:44No, ask in her.
44:46I do think as a sub-team we're a little lost,
44:48and there wasn't any clear direction on pricing.
44:50I did try and stress that we needed
44:53to upsell the DIY because we could get more money.
44:55Upsell the DIY?
44:57Meaning what?
44:59April stated that we'll do extras
45:01for £10, £10 an hour.
45:03Three of you, £10?
45:05But there's the business acumen again
45:07amongst this team here.
45:09It's far too cheap.
45:11Clearly, in hindsight, it was an error,
45:13and then I tried to learn from that
45:15and do better the following day.
45:17Elle, you're very quiet. Karen said that you relied
45:19totally on him.
45:22I'm the expert, in a sense,
45:24of putting people where they're supposed to be.
45:26OK. What do you actually do
45:28in this day job of yours?
45:30I manage someone's business for them, basically.
45:32OK. I'm talking about when you go in
45:34on a Monday morning, where are you?
45:36Sitting in an office, or are you on a building site?
45:38I can be both.
45:40When you're on a building site, what are you doing on the building site?
45:42I generally have meetings with the project managers
45:44or the foreman, and I make sure that they're doing what they're doing.
45:46So you know what they're supposed to be doing?
45:48I have their targets set up, drawn up by other people.
45:50OK, so you've got a deal for the theatre.
45:52Did you do that?
45:54Did you use progress?
45:56OK, who's cutting the rods?
45:58Who's cutting this?
46:00With all due respect, that's the foreman's responsibility,
46:02and I stand by my decision.
46:04So he was the foreman, was he?
46:06I put Joseph in the position.
46:08He knew the most about it,
46:10and it was the right decision to make.
46:12He did an exceptional job.
46:14I would have been silly...
46:16No, I'm hearing that.
46:19Ultimately, relying on Joseph was the right decision.
46:21If I'd have gone in there and taken full reigns
46:23just because I'm the project manager,
46:25I wouldn't have known what to do.
46:27But you didn't plan or strategise
46:29or organise anything for your sub-team
46:31or anything for your team to do after your job.
46:33I agree. I accept that.
46:35And what about the flyers?
46:37Flyers, completely my mistake.
46:39Your mistake also.
46:41Mistake on that, mistake on this.
46:43Six times a loser.
46:45Not looking great, is it?
46:48I don't stand here proud at the moment.
46:50No, no, no, no.
46:52In fact, there's no point carrying on, Elle.
46:54In your day job,
46:56you organise the construction of basements.
46:58Well, in this particular task,
47:00you've dug yourself a very, very big hole.
47:02You're fired.
47:04Thank you very much for the opportunity,
47:06Karen Claude. Thank you.
47:18To be honest, I wouldn't have done anything differently.
47:20I wouldn't have known how to.
47:22Even when we were in there and, you know,
47:24getting torn apart, I still didn't know
47:26what I would have done differently.
47:28So Lord Sugar definitely made the right decision.
47:30He'd look like a bloody idiot if he hadn't.
47:42Well, it don't end here.
47:44Right?
47:47McGim, you are the sub-team leader.
47:49Now you are the project manager.
47:51When I get down to discussing
47:53which people are coming back into this boardroom,
47:55you are going to have to decide.
47:57Yeah, never mind...
47:59And all that stuff, right?
48:01Have you got a handle on what these lot were doing?
48:03To be honest with you,
48:05I'd love to know what Richard done.
48:07So I won the biggest pitch.
48:09I know that I worked very hard, Josie.
48:11You did work very hard.
48:13And I'm not going to lie,
48:15and I've got to say, in the previous time,
48:17I had a gut, Richard, for not listening and taking orders.
48:19And when we were doing that job,
48:21he listened, he didn't sort of argue back with me once
48:23and he was sweating, you know,
48:25and he worked very, very hard.
48:27Thank you.
48:29And then, David, I just think, honestly,
48:31you lacked the practical skills to do the job.
48:33The job that I gave you of cutting the pole,
48:35you got it wrong, and then you spent the whole
48:37sort of hour and a half cleaning down the brushes
48:39when we were outside the shop.
48:41I think that's a little bit unfair, to be fair.
48:44I hold my hands up, I got the first initial measurements wrong,
48:46OK, but every other one was correct.
48:48Did he make a difference in this task?
48:50No.
48:52Well, McGim, anything else you want to know?
48:54No, I think I've got my decision.
49:02Who are you bringing back, then?
49:04April and David.
49:06April and David?
49:08Yes, that's right.
49:10Charlene, he's let you off the hook.
49:13Can I stay, though, Lord Chief?
49:15No, no, go back to the house.
49:23This was a real disaster, you know,
49:25a real disaster.
49:27Off you go.
49:37McGim, he's grown a reputation
49:39as being a little bit of a joker,
49:41but you've got to grab your opportunities in this process.
49:43There's no time for joking now.
49:45I think Joseph was right when he said
49:47David's got no practical skills.
49:49He's done some good things,
49:51but his performance on this task
49:53has put a huge question mark by him for me.
49:57In the case of April,
49:59I'm starting to wonder if she's a contender.
50:01She's very professional,
50:03but she didn't show any strategy,
50:05she didn't show any real understanding
50:07of business.
50:10If we told her that if it were week four, five or six,
50:12she'd be gone.
50:14We are at week six.
50:18Yes, Lord Sugar?
50:20Could you send the three of them in, please?
50:22Lord Sugar will see you now.
50:34Well, we've had a bit of joking around
50:36about the hole in the wall,
50:39but this is a process, right?
50:41So let's forget about all that messing about.
50:43Let's hear what's gone on.
50:45The reason why I brought April into the boardroom
50:47is because I don't think she worked as hard
50:49as what Charlene did.
50:51Also, I just feel that she sits back a lot
50:53on a lot of the tasks.
50:55I just felt like she didn't really get her hands dirty.
50:57How was I not working hard
50:59when I was painting alongside you
51:01and I was literally holding your ladder
51:03and painting at the same time?
51:05For you to then say that I worked less
51:07What's he doing in here?
51:09Well, I listened to, obviously,
51:11what Joseph had to say about David.
51:13He got the measurements wrong
51:15on the part they had to cut
51:17and he didn't really seem to get amongst it neither
51:19in terms of painting, etc.
51:21Yes, I did make a mistake in terms of
51:23cutting one of the pieces incorrectly,
51:25but then I did actually then manage to go
51:27and cut another 28, which were correctly,
51:29and then I managed to erect it all.
51:31If Joseph hadn't have checked your measurements,
51:33you would have got them all wrong.
51:36I didn't make any decisions which were detrimental.
51:38Do you think you showed any common sense?
51:40I found that once I made a mistake,
51:42I then rectified it and I completed every single task.
51:44But April was key
51:46in making some decisions regarding
51:48the negotiating for the £10
51:50for one of the jobs, saying that we can't charge anymore.
51:52You know, April,
51:54says something which kind of touches
51:56a nerve in my head
51:58and that is, you always seem to be standing back
52:00and not really in the thick of things.
52:02I disagree.
52:05I definitely get involved in each task.
52:07I do understand that sometimes
52:09I'm not as loud with my ideas, maybe,
52:11but I'm used to an environment where
52:13you speak and you're sort of respected.
52:15With regards to this task,
52:17I did make an error with the £10
52:19and I learnt from it quickly.
52:21I worked very hard.
52:23I wanted to show, because you made it very clear
52:25that your business partner has to get dirty
52:27and I was more than happy to do so.
52:29Maguim, you obviously have never been project manager
52:31and here's the opportunity that you had
52:34and unfortunately, you didn't do much
52:36business.
52:38That's incorrect, Lord Sugar.
52:40In my team, myself, I was coming up with different ideas
52:42how to make money, I was trying to think outside the box.
52:44I was coming up with different strategies.
52:46What was your different strategies?
52:48To write flyers.
52:50I've come up with a flyer.
52:52I know it's unprofessional, Lord Sugar,
52:54but that's me thinking outside the box.
52:56I wanted to attract as many people as possible all at once
52:58and the best way to do it is to try and put a flyer together.
53:00Did you not think it was a good idea that he attempted at least?
53:02I was against the writing up of the flyers
53:04just because I felt that if you hand a handwritten flyer
53:06on a piece of notebook paper
53:08in a shop, it wasn't going to attract business.
53:10It's got to be better than nothing.
53:12In the meantime, I think Maguim has to
53:14take some responsibility for this task.
53:16He did not lead his sub-team at all.
53:18I was there and I didn't feel any sense of leadership
53:20and more importantly,
53:22I just felt that throughout this task
53:24it was just a little too immature.
53:26Right.
53:29One thing I've done, Lord Sugar,
53:31I took on this process
53:33is to prove to the world it doesn't matter
53:35where you come from.
53:37I originally came to this country, Lord Sugar, as a refugee
53:39and I've had to work ten times harder
53:41than anyone else.
53:43I'm so passionate about being
53:45a millionaire, Lord Sugar.
53:47I just want to prove a point to the world
53:49that you don't need the best qualifications,
53:51you don't need the best business acronym skills
53:53or speeches, etc.
53:55If your mental mindset
53:58is about being successful,
54:00you can still do it.
54:02And if I can do it, Lord Sugar,
54:04there's no one in the world that can't do it.
54:06I understand what you're saying
54:08and I understand how difficult life
54:10has been for you and your family
54:12and it's admirable, really,
54:14that you have worked your way up
54:16in the manner that you have done.
54:18But, you know, at the end of the day
54:20I'm here to judge things on what's gone on
54:22in the process here
54:24and I should never take away your dream
54:26of being a millionaire.
54:28Never, ever take that away from you.
54:30I'm just wondering, really,
54:32whether
54:34it's going to happen in this process.
54:40It is a difficult one.
54:44Look, Magim,
54:46I'm going to say this to you.
54:50I don't think you have the potential
54:52at this moment in time
54:55of being my business partner.
54:57I really don't.
54:59But,
55:01carry on with your dreams, okay?
55:05It is with sincere regret,
55:07Magim,
55:09that you're fired.
55:11Thanks a lot for the opportunity, guys.
55:13Thank you.
55:15And we'll stay in touch.
55:17Thank you, Lord Sugar.
55:25April,
55:27you may recall
55:29six weeks ago
55:31you were the project manager
55:33and I told you then
55:35that had this been
55:37a little bit later in the process
55:39that you would have gone that day.
55:41Yes, Lord Sugar.
55:43At the time, I didn't know.
55:45But here we are in week six
55:47and I
55:49do believe that you have been standing back.
55:51I do believe
55:54I can't see you
55:56as my business partner.
55:58So, April, you're fired.
56:00Thank you, Lord Sugar.
56:02Thank you, Gavin and Claude.
56:10David,
56:12you're a diamond,
56:14a rare piece, according to this.
56:16Yeah, I made that comment, Lord Sugar,
56:18because I do feel that I do shine.
56:20I didn't see any shining, I have to tell you.
56:22Mmm.
56:26Go back to the house.
56:28Thank you very much, Lord Sugar.
56:31Jimmy Powell.
56:47I don't think that I deserve to go.
56:49However, it wasn't about my performance
56:51in this process, which is why I went.
56:53I think it was just he didn't think
56:55that we would gel.
57:01I think Lord Sugar
57:03wanted someone more polished off
57:05as a business partner.
57:07I'm young and I've still got a lot to learn.
57:09However, I've had the confidence
57:11from Lord Sugar that I can still
57:13crack on with my dream.
57:19Al, he pretty much took responsibility for everything
57:21and he fired her instantly.
57:23So then, he looked
57:25him again and said, you're now PM
57:27and I want you to bring two people back.
57:30No, he went white.
57:36It's just me.
57:38There's only ten left in that.
57:40To be honest with you, I almost had a tear in my eye with McGinn
57:42because you know how much it means to him
57:44and then he fired April, but I've never seen
57:46something so brutal in my life.
57:50Now, ten candidates
57:52remain.
57:54Lord Sugar's search for his next business
57:56partner continues.
58:00Waiting for you in your lake.
58:02Next time, you're going to open up your own
58:04discount store.
58:06Cut price.
58:08Manchester's newest discount store.
58:10Rock bottom prices.
58:12Cut throat.
58:14I sold the most yesterday.
58:16Whatever, whatever.
58:18Guys, we're going to have to run.
58:20And in the boardroom,
58:22when things are not going your way.
58:24Someone gets cut down to size.
58:26I'm cranking up the action now.
58:29You're fired.
58:33Well, well, well.
58:35Short, sharp and wickedly to the point.
58:37Take a look at this week's Honest Subtitles on iPlayer.
58:39And with the triple whammy
58:41of Elle, McGinn and April
58:43out on their ears,
58:45it's going to be a very busy night
58:47for You're Fired on BBC2 now.
58:49Or relieve the tension over on BBC3
58:51with Russell Howard's Good News.
