00:00I've got you two shipping containers full of imported products.
00:16It was straight down to business, touting products to London's trade.
00:21They're Chinese little waving cats.
00:23Are we ready?
00:24Jazz rushed in to run the girls.
00:26I had my hand up before I'd realised I'd volunteered.
00:28I'd volunteered.
00:30Under Jason's command, the boys wasted time.
00:34We've definitely lost an hour and a half.
00:36More.
00:36Two hours.
00:37More.
00:37Did we try that?
00:38The girls lost their way.
00:40We don't need to look or smell desperate.
00:43While Neil's half of the boys cleaned up.
00:45We've done really well and we've sold out.
00:48In the boardroom, Jason's team turned.
00:51Critical, clear, concise instructions were left out right from the beginning.
00:56And despite their win, Tim chipped in.
00:58At the very start, I was struggling.
01:00You won.
01:01No, I'm straight.
01:02Shut up.
01:03Rebecca came under attack.
01:04She kind of went in and just epically failed.
01:07I didn't epically fail.
01:08While Uzma fought back.
01:10If you had someone like me in your team, you would have probably made some more sales.
01:14But it was Jazz who got shipped out.
01:16Your biggest mistake was jumping in too quickly.
01:20She became the first casualty of the boardroom.
01:23You're fired.
01:24Now, 15 remain to fight for the chance to become Lord Sugar's business partner.
01:416am.
01:47Hello?
01:48Good morning, this is Lord Sugar's office.
01:50Lord Sugar would like you to meet him at the old bank in Fleet Street.
01:54The cars will be with him in half an hour.
01:56Thanks, bye.
01:57The old bank.
01:59Fleet Street.
02:00Yeah.
02:00It's a pub.
02:01Oh!
02:02Everybody, wake up!
02:05Good morning, boys.
02:07Guess where we're going?
02:09Where are we going?
02:09We're going to the old bank on Fleet Street.
02:12Guess what it is?
02:13What is it?
02:14It's a pub.
02:15Wake up!
02:16Yay!
02:17We hope, don't we, Jason, it's going to be girls versus boys again.
02:21Because I think we're on a bit of form.
02:23We've got all the aggression out of us, haven't we?
02:26Well...
02:26Teamwork, mate.
02:27Yeah, it's teamwork all the way now, Jason.
02:38Obviously, last time we did lose girlies.
02:41As a team, I definitely think we lacked a little bit of thinking.
02:44It would be stupid not to use this as a learning curve.
02:49Maybe we should just go with a tried and tested method.
02:51I'll be PM and we'll win.
03:16Good morning.
03:17Good morning, Lord Sugar.
03:19Well, this place used to be part of the Bank of England.
03:23And it's very fitting because your task today
03:26is all about making money from selling beer.
03:30Now, beer is Britain's favourite alcoholic drink,
03:34with sales totalling £18 billion per year.
03:40Now, what I want you lot to do is to come up with a new flavoured beer.
03:45Now, Tim, you piped up at the last boardroom,
03:48wanting to prove yourself to me.
03:50I understand that your business idea is to come up with a new form of drink.
03:54So what I'd like you to do is come over here and join Evolve,
03:58because you're going to be their project manager.
04:04And Kurt, you're also in the drinks business.
04:06So let's see if you can apply your skills to this,
04:08because you're going to be the project manager of Endeavour.
04:12The team that comes in with the biggest profit wins,
04:15and in the losing team, one of you will be fired.
04:19Everything clear?
04:20Yes, Lord Sugar.
04:21Good. Well, I'll see you back in the boardroom in a couple of days' time.
04:26Flavoured beers.
04:28The latest trend in British brewing.
04:32Tap into a taste that hits the spot, and it can turn hops into hard cash.
04:39Today, both teams must create a flavoured beer.
04:43Tomorrow, sell it to turn a profit.
04:46I like a chilli and caramel, just like a chilli and chocolate,
04:49so you've got something with a spice and something with a smoothness to it.
04:52I think that's a good idea.
04:53I'm glad I got the opportunity to be project manager.
04:55I do drinks a little bit. I'm more into health drinks.
04:58This is more alcoholic, but I do like to drink them as well,
05:00and the opportunity was going to come,
05:01so this is something I think I can get my teeth stuck into.
05:04Gentlemen, for me, something like a chilli is possibly a little bit too adventurous
05:08that someone would be willing to spend £4 or £5 because they might not like it.
05:11If it's off the chilli, then I would think of a chocolate orange.
05:14I'd like to make a case for nettles as a flavour because I think it's adventurous,
05:18I think it's exciting, I think it's daring, I think it's unusual.
05:21When you see it on a label, you'd be like,
05:23ooh, maybe I should try that, is that going to sting my mouth?
05:26Great to be part of the girls' team.
05:28With the girls in need of a win.
05:29Welcome.
05:30Thank you very much.
05:31A chance for Tim to show some bottle.
05:33With the boys, there was a lot of talking over each other,
05:35so I think we should go round the circle, just jot down ideas,
05:38and then, you know, let's start talking about our ideas.
05:41I want to target the female market, something healthy.
05:43Does everyone sort of agree with that?
05:45No.
05:45No? OK, OK.
05:46I really enjoy being in a team, I thrive off other people's energy.
05:50I'm definitely a team player.
05:51I'm not a Lone Ranger in any sense of the word.
05:53Something like a beer that incorporates champagne.
05:55Maybe do something like, you know, the new berries, like ackee,
05:57ackeye, cranberry, pomegranate.
05:59Rhubarb and pepper.
06:00Thought we were going to the mass market.
06:02Yeah, I think they don't really know much,
06:04they're still out in the WKW.
06:08Tim started well, but it's now all gone a bit to pot.
06:12Everyone's all over each other, everyone's got very different ideas,
06:15everyone wants to be top dog.
06:16I really strongly think it should be aimed at men.
06:19Mass market is men.
06:21Yeah.
06:22OK, one minute, I know this could look weird,
06:24I'm going to overrule my own decision.
06:26So, do you know what I mean? I made a rash decision before.
06:28It depends, really, who's got Tim's ear,
06:30the decisions that he'll make down this task.
06:34Next job for Kurt...
06:35One team's going to have to do market research and branding and design,
06:37and the other team's going to have to go straight into the manufacturing process.
06:40Decide who does what.
06:42I want four people in that manufacturing team,
06:43because I think that's going to be the busiest of the groups,
06:45so I'm going to put Zee in it, with you, Jason.
06:47What's the reason for me being on manufacturing?
06:50I don't make sense of that.
06:51Because you don't drink.
06:52We know the market, because we drink.
06:53I'd rather have you on the manufacturing end.
06:55I don't drink beer either.
06:56My skills lie in marketing design, I've got...
07:00I want Jordan to be the sub-team leader.
07:02OK, cool, thank you.
07:03I think you'd be great, Alex.
07:04I think you're a stand-up author, and you'll get people doing what we need them to do.
07:07Seriously, afterwards, you'll be held accountable for my performance.
07:10You should be able to do the manufacturing process.
07:11Cool, let's do it, let's do it.
07:12I do feel it's being undervalued, but it's fine, that's what you want me to do.
07:16Cool.
07:17My job is to manufacture beer.
07:20I don't drink beer.
07:22Cautious Kurt has taken some dangerous decisions.
07:25Communication's lost.
07:26Personnel picked, the teams divide.
07:30Half stay in London to pour their efforts into branding,
07:34the rest head for the Midlands to manufacture.
07:37Kurt seemed that he'd made the decision about the teams
07:40before anyone had discussed exactly what their strengths would be.
07:42You don't put a cook in the kitchen who can't handle the food.
07:49First task for team leader Tim...
07:51Beer festival, food festival or Kemp.
07:54..where to tout their beer tomorrow.
07:57The real food festival...
07:59We did discount that.
08:00..I think is a really good option, as in we won't have as many competition.
08:03No, no, no, no, no.
08:04We go for a beer festival, cos that's what they're coming to do.
08:08They're coming to test all the different beers and have a really good day out.
08:13Let me just tell you what we're thinking.
08:14It's called the Kent Beer Festival, however, it's in Putney in south-west London.
08:19I personally think that that's not our target market.
08:22I think this one, yeah.
08:24OK.
08:28Midday.
08:31Banks' brewery.
08:34Base for both teams to dream up their drinks.
08:39First thing we'd like to do is just try the beers, see how they taste at the start,
08:41so we can tell the difference when we actually add the flavours to them.
08:45You don't worry, you just stand there and observe.
08:47Yeah, it's good.
08:49This one's malty, whiny.
08:52I think that's a little bit too strong.
08:56But back in London...
08:58Chocolate, orange, infused, bitter.
09:00And already decided on a taste, the boys' branding team.
09:04The whole flavouring is an orange, so it needs to be the orange colour.
09:07With, like, an orange peel effect across it or something, then with the chocolate on it.
09:11Yeah, OK.
09:11Chocolate, orange, we need to know what they've put in it.
09:15Hello?
09:16OK, we're going for the chocolate, orange beer.
09:18I need to know what the ingredients are,
09:20and I need to know what the description of the beer is.
09:22Do you use an amber...
09:24Hold on, hold on, one second, one second.
09:25Do you use an amber, bitter?
09:27We haven't had time to actually really do any of the tasting stuff,
09:29so we're kind of going blind on the tasting bits.
09:32We want the amber, bitter base with the chocolate and orange.
09:35Well, hold on a second, because we tried the amber and we tried the stout,
09:38and our honest feedback is that we preferred the stout.
09:41Yeah, we've gone for the amber.
09:42What on earth are you doing? Why are we going for amber?
09:45We've just been tasting it and we've gone for the stout.
09:47You can't decide how it's going to taste when you're not trying it.
09:50That's down to us.
09:52We need to move on.
09:53Yeah, we've had to make the decision. It's done.
09:57Giving their ideas the taste test, Tim and his girls...
10:01That smells lovely.
10:02..on hand, a range of super-strength flavours.
10:06What flavour should we go with first, then?
10:09..from blueberry to bacon.
10:11Let's get the rhubarb.
10:13Watched by an expert, the team get mixing.
10:16Let's just deal with that. So we need a 2.5.
10:18Can I just ask, did anyone do chemistry or anything?
10:21No.
10:22100ml's in there.
10:23Let's go 0.5.
10:250.5 of the rhubarb.
10:27These are very dangerous in their pure form.
10:30OK.
10:31Mix it.
10:32Right.
10:35It's very, very bitter, isn't it?
10:36Yeah, so we need something sweet.
10:38Caramel.
10:39Caramel.
10:44That's nice.
10:45I like that and I hate this.
10:47That's your final recipe, is it?
10:49We're going with rhubarb and caramel.
10:53Yeah, fantastic.
10:54Yay!
10:58Rhubarb melt.
10:59Something related to luxury.
11:00Caramel is like a luxury.
11:02In charge of branding, their rhubarb concoction,
11:05Uzma and the rest of the girls.
11:07Can you imagine putting a tint of 10% black over gold?
11:10Yeah.
11:11It will push it back.
11:12I don't mean to interrupt, but I think you should focus on
11:14getting the label finished before we start talking about
11:1610% blacks and things.
11:18No, no.
11:19Lou, can you let us finish?
11:20I know, but it's really important.
11:22We have a banner to do.
11:23We just get the content on there.
11:25You need to let me speak.
11:27We need pumps.
11:28We need a banner.
11:29I'm going to draw a banner now.
11:30OK, you draw the banner and let me carry on.
11:32OK, do it then.
11:33Doing what?
11:34Talking about 10% and 5% colours is just so unnecessary.
11:38Anyways...
11:39We don't have anything on a label.
11:40Sorry, what you were saying...
11:42David?
11:43I do find it quite disrespectful when someone shuts you down.
11:47I'm not used to that, to be really honest,
11:50especially when it comes to creativity.
11:52Creativity is my forte.
11:53I don't like it.
11:54It reminds me of, like, a fashion boutique.
11:58I just don't think it's beery.
12:00Who's the sub-leader?
12:01OK, well, lead then.
12:04I've got one.
12:05What about Bitter Zest?
12:06Trying to find a name for their tipple, the boys.
12:09What about Bitter Blends?
12:11Twirl?
12:14Swirl? Bitter Swirl?
12:16What about something like A Bit Of This?
12:18Like A Bit Of This?
12:19Do you want A Bit Of This? Do you want A Bit Of This?
12:21Do you know what I mean? That would be the advert.
12:22Think about the vision.
12:23A Bit Of This, A Bit Of That.
12:25It's not bad, you know.
12:26It's brilliant.
12:27I think I'm doing most of the leading.
12:28I've come up with a name, I've come up with the flavour,
12:31so I don't know what it is the other guys have had to do yet,
12:34but we are going with pretty much everything that I'm coming up with.
12:37I'd say behind every good project manager, there's a Neil Clough.
12:42Back at the brewery, recipe mixed,
12:44the boys move on to mass production.
12:47So, in one cask, we can get 40.9 litres.
12:50But first, scale up the formula to flavour their beer in bulk.
12:551,000 is flavour mix, right?
12:57Yeah.
12:58So, 2.04 millilitres of orange and 2.04 millilitres of chocolate.
13:01Yeah, that sounds great.
13:03We've got the numbers down to a T.
13:04We know what the mixing values are
13:06and what percentages we need to mix into the beer.
13:08From our side, we've delivered what we've been asked to.
13:116.5 at 75%, is that right?
13:17Does that make sense?
13:19It does, it makes sense, it makes sense.
13:21It does, write it down.
13:23Trying to get the ratios right for the girls...
13:2575% rhubarb, 25% caramel.
13:28..fitness entrepreneur Francesca.
13:30That's wrong, that's wrong. That's not...
13:32That's 1% of the 100 mils.
13:35Oh, dear. I'm really, really sorry, I'm just...
13:37My brain's confused with litres and grams and stuff, like...
13:427pm.
13:44Looking really good now.
13:46Getting ahead with their brand, a bit of this...
13:49We've got a great little system going.
13:51The boys.
13:52That's it. Here you are, guys.
13:54It's our first bottle of beer.
13:56Cheers!
13:58If we don't do this, guys, we've got nothing to sell.
14:01Still flummoxed by the figures, team leader Tim and the girls.
14:05Let's just go with that. Yeah, that's a 1%.
14:07We're going to do that. What do you reckon? Yeah.
14:09Yeah, guys, happy with that.
14:12What we've done is we've made the 1% solution
14:15and added it to that barrel.
14:16So, how much of the rhubarb essence has been added to this keg?
14:2122.5 mil.
14:23What dilution?
14:241%.
14:25100%. 100%.
14:27100%.
14:28It needs to be 1%.
14:30Guys, this is not safe to drink.
14:32It's too strong. Too strong.
14:3430 litres lost.
14:38Time to try again.
14:39Yeah, that's good. Careful.
14:43How many millilitres has been added to that keg of the 1% solution?
14:45100.
14:46Right, there's far too much in there, then.
14:50We mixed it with this and then we added it to the actual one.
14:53Right, we're sorry, we've ruined the keg.
14:55Please, can we have another one?
14:56Another batch botched.
14:58Bloody hell.
14:59Second cask down the drain.
15:02We're going down. The ship is sinking fast.
15:05We just can't get our heads around the logic of this.
15:08We're going to end up with no product.
15:09I'm absolutely petrified of having no product
15:11and nothing to sell and nothing to do tomorrow.
15:13We are having an absolute shocker at the factory.
15:16We haven't produced any beer yet.
15:18What the hell? What happened?
15:21Got all the ratios completely wrong.
15:22I know it sounds terrible.
15:25Oh, my God.
15:26They haven't produced any frigging beer.
15:319.30pm.
15:33We're actually so efficient that we're ahead of schedule.
15:36Guys, put it this way, we've been here four hours
15:38and just made our own beer.
15:40Then ten caskets of 40 litres each
15:42and 100 bottles.
15:45Not bad for a day's work.
15:47For the girls...
15:48Is this OK or is this bad?
15:51..mixture finally fixed.
15:53Time to get down to business.
15:57This team are in total disarray.
15:59They've wasted £100 on base ales
16:01because they got all their ratios wrong.
16:03That's over 150 pints down the plug hole.
16:09Right now, we've just got to do what we can do,
16:11do our best.
16:12We're not manufacturers,
16:13we're clearly not mathematicians either,
16:14but sales is our forte
16:16and that's what we're going to do tomorrow
16:17and we're going to forget about those lost casks.
16:19Overnight, team's bottles and barrels will head south.
16:24Tomorrow, they must push pints to turn a profit.
16:358am.
16:37North London.
16:39For both teams, first chance to sample their stock.
16:43Nice, that is cool.
16:44For the boys, chocolate and orange flavoured a bit of this.
16:48I think it's a nice colour, actually.
16:49It is, isn't it?
16:50You can smell it.
16:51The chocolate comes through more and more.
16:53It's good.
16:54Yeah, it does, actually.
16:55What we're going to do is we're going to use the bottles.
16:58We've only got 100 bottles.
16:59It's a collector's item,
17:00so buy one and take it away, one day only.
17:04For Tim's team, rhubarb and riches.
17:07Love it.
17:09Pumpkins.
17:10At the factory, it was a bit of a kerfuffle
17:12and we ended up losing 90 litres.
17:14In total, we have 561 pints to sell, 134 bottles now.
17:20Both teams have 12 hours...
17:22I'm happy to go wherever you want me to go.
17:24..to sell in bulk to bars...
17:26So trade sales is you four.
17:28..and shift pints to the public.
17:30Us four are going to the press store.
17:32One, two, three.
17:34Do you want to come over here?
17:35Where am I going?
17:37You're going to the trade.
17:39So you four to trade, you're coming to the...
17:41So us four...
17:43I thought I'd be better selling to the public.
17:45We're going to the public.
17:46Lou, come over here.
17:47Rebecca, can you go over to the trade sales?
17:50Who did you appoint sub-team leader?
17:53You did, didn't you?
17:54I did.
17:56Hello?
17:57We just thought about appointing a sub-team leader.
18:00Um, I was thinking, um...
18:04I was thinking...
18:05Give it to Rebecca to do.
18:07Rebecca can be sub-team leader.
18:10OK, cool.
18:13OK, staff team for today.
18:15Zee, Alex and Jason, yous are going to do the trade sales.
18:18Alex, you'll be the manager of that team.
18:20I want yous two to really push it, really push the sales,
18:23cos I know yous are both...
18:24Yeah, that's fine.
18:25I'd like Jason to make the appointments.
18:30We might as well give this bottle to the other boys,
18:32cos it shows the product.
18:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:34Just let me run round, one second.
18:35Great.
18:38I think that this has turned out quite well.
18:40When we are making a deal, we...
18:43Let me just clarify, you're not involved with sales?
18:46I'm not involved with sales.
18:47No, logistics and appointments, that is what you're in charge of.
18:50OK, so you don't want any contributions on anything else?
18:53Look, Jason, focus on booking appointments.
18:55Are you overruling me deliberately?
18:58Cos if you are, I mean, I want you to have that responsibility.
19:01The king's been toppled from his throne!
19:03No, no, no. Overruled!
19:05No, if you want to overrule me, that's fine.
19:07Jason, will you be quiet, you silly shit?
19:14Opening time.
19:22For Neil, Kurt, Jordan and Miles, the St Albans Beer Festival.
19:27Go on, Jordan, you can do it.
19:29Watering hole for 2,000 ale enthusiasts.
19:34Sure you know what you're doing, Jordan?
19:37Kurt, pricing?
19:38£4 for the pint, £2.60 for the half and £4 for the bottle.
19:41OK, perfect.
19:42I've looked around as well, there's some a little bit cheaper,
19:44and those are around the £3.20 mark.
19:46Price is set.
19:49I'm going to go and try that.
19:50Time to get selling.
19:51It's orange top notes and then there's more chocolatey base notes
19:55that come through afterwards.
19:56I'm the master brewer.
19:58Do you see the calluses on his hands?
19:59Oh, yeah, yeah.
20:01Normally it's made with a stout, actually.
20:03I was expecting to see a darker beer.
20:06These are a one-off, this is the £4.
20:09£4 a bottle because...
20:10It's a one-off.
20:11It's a one-off.
20:12Do you see what I mean?
20:13A collector's item.
20:17Endeavour is having to compete with all the other beers behind me.
20:21Kurt's taken a decision to set a premium price.
20:25£4 for a pint, well above everybody else.
20:28That's £4, please.
20:29Is it?
20:30I reckon it's a big risk.
20:33You know where we are.
20:34Thank you very much.
20:35All right, guys, no worries.
20:39Putney.
20:40Oh, my God, there it is.
20:42Pulling up at their chosen location, Tim's team.
20:46So this is the Kent Beer Festival.
20:48Where is everyone?
20:50Oh, don't.
20:51Oh, I'm not funny.
20:54Are we going now?
20:56Guys, it might go round the corner and there might be, like,
20:58thousands of people.
20:59Yeah, let's see.
21:00Fingers crossed.
21:06Across town, led by Rebecca,
21:10Tim's trade team try a pub selling specialist beers.
21:14So we've got a red ale.
21:15Obviously, we're here today to talk to you about a cask,
21:18but first and foremost, you'll be wanting to know what it tastes like.
21:22Very dry.
21:23Yes.
21:24The finish is very dry.
21:25You can just feel the size of your tongue curling up.
21:27Uh-huh.
21:28Which I quite like in beers.
21:29Pump cover.
21:31Isn't it beautiful?
21:32Yeah.
21:33It's a very nice clip.
21:34It's modern, it's nice.
21:35It is.
21:36That is definitely one of the better ones.
21:37So with that in mind, gentlemen,
21:38roughly how many casks do you think,
21:39off the top of your head, you'd like to go for?
21:41I'd say we could go for four today.
21:44I would like to go at the price of 80, if possible.
21:49I think £75 is where this beer should be.
21:53Could we go for...
21:55Can I...? Sorry.
21:56Can we go for 78?
21:58Yeah, we can do 78.
22:00Can we shake on it?
22:01Yep.
22:02Thank you so much.
22:03Cheers.
22:04That's wonderful.
22:06That's great.
22:07Other than the fact that Rebecca likes to stick her hand
22:09in people's faces and her finger in my face on this occasion
22:12when people try and interrupt,
22:14she actually delivered quite a good pitch.
22:16Over £300 pocketed.
22:20Yeah, so the place is, did you say...?
22:22Everyman's Cinema.
22:23Everyman's Cinema.
22:24For the girls, on to the next appointment.
22:26All right, great stuff. I'll see you then.
22:28Thanks ever so much.
22:29Cheers.
22:30Cheers. Bye-bye.
22:31Don't ask them where their place is,
22:33because then it just looks like...
22:35We don't know.
22:36We don't know, and we do know.
22:37Usma, why are you undermining me all the time?
22:39I'm not.
22:40No, listen.
22:41And why are you being so provocative?
22:42I'm not undermining you.
22:43What I'm saying to you is,
22:45we know where we're going, right?
22:47And yet you're...
22:48It's not undermining.
22:49You're obviously offended for the wrong reasons.
22:51Just get on.
22:55Next to try their brand on the specialists,
22:58the boys, led by Alex.
23:00We've got a new wheel that we've been creating.
23:03We've got a couple of casks,
23:04and so we're just looking to see whether or not you'd be interested.
23:07It's also a bit of a limited edition product,
23:09and that's why, in a sense, we're saying,
23:11it's a bit of this,
23:13try a bit of this.
23:14Yeah.
23:15The bottle itself is open.
23:16It is empty, but, I mean, if you want to smell it,
23:18you can kind of, like, have a little bit of the...
23:20Do you have a sample that we can try?
23:22No, we don't, unfortunately, today.
23:24I know it's completely random and stupid,
23:26and it's probably, like,
23:27something that you've never experienced before.
23:29I don't sell anything I haven't tasted before.
23:31I can beat you in a salad.
23:32It's paramount for us to be able to do that,
23:35and I'm surprised you've even turned up.
23:38That was inevitable, mate.
23:40Do you have got any sample at all, just so anyone...
23:42Oh, yeah, I'm giving a second.
23:44I had an empty bottle of Neil. That was about it.
23:46No, but even if we had one bottle for a sample,
23:48what are we going to do?
23:49Give everyone a sip each, everywhere we go?
23:51Well, you didn't think...
23:52You didn't think...?
23:53I asked you earlier, Kurt.
23:54Have you been drinking?
23:55Yeah.
23:56Have you ever had a really bad day?
23:58Never, mate.
23:59Ever.
24:00Just keep it that way.
24:01You're not suppose to be drinking.
24:02No, I'm not suppose to be drinking.
24:03I mean, I can't drink to you.
24:04I can't drink to you.
24:05I never drink to you.
24:07I asked you earlier, Kurt, and, well, it was either you or Miles.
24:09You didn't ask me. You did not ask me.
24:12You're in charge of the sub team. I don't know what you're doing.
24:14You never ask me.
24:16That's just idiotic.
24:18Send them over six bottles. I know it's going to be time getting there,
24:20but we just have to send them to you.
24:252pm, Patney.
24:27In full swing, the Kent Beer Festival.
24:32Guys, I don't know if you've heard of us.
24:35We have launched a brand-new beer product to the market today.
24:38Flavoured with rhubarb and caramel.
24:42Ask anyone who's drunk it.
24:44It's absolutely fantastic. You haven't tried it, sir.
24:46It's just in there. £3.60.
24:48Thank you very much, guys.
24:51£2.50, please. Thank you very much.
24:54Half pint or a full pint? Half a pint.
24:56It's £2.50. Is that OK?
24:59It's all right, actually.
25:00Smooth, nice, sweet finish, but not too sweet.
25:05Definitely buy it again.
25:06That's going to be £3.60.
25:07There you go, darling. Thank you very much.
25:09Thank you. Tell all your friends.
25:11The trade's going really well. Sales flew in straight away.
25:14People are trying it and liking it.
25:15That's lovely. Really nice.
25:17We will saturate this market and then we will move on.
25:20There you go. Thank you very much.
25:22St Albans.
25:24At the Boys Beer Festival, sales of a bit of this...
25:28I can't tempt you.
25:29..bite the dust.
25:31Sorry, no, no, no.
25:33A lot of people have been coming over and saying
25:35it's double the price of everyone else,
25:36which is making people walk away.
25:38Are you dropping the prices? Excellent!
25:40Hold on, hold on, I'm trying to persuade him.
25:42See what I mean?
25:43We're selling well, but we're not selling as well as we could do.
25:46We need to get through much more volume,
25:48so I think the bigger call at the moment is,
25:49do we go on to the next venue?
25:51We've got the Southbank Festival.
25:5310,000 people in.
25:54Maybe Southbank's quite a way away.
25:57I know it is quite a way, but...
25:58Is it not worth us spending another hour or so,
26:00see what we get through?
26:02I'd say we do another keg and then we move on.
26:04Give it another hour.
26:07Finally armed with full bottles,
26:09Zee, Alex and Jason pitch to a chain of gastropubs.
26:14It's drinkable. Very drinkable.
26:16How much do you guys traditionally sort of look to
26:19when you pay per cast?
26:20Around about between £80 and £90 a bottle.
26:23Our price is starting at your high.
26:25We're sort of looking at £95.
26:27If you were perhaps looking at buying the two,
26:29maybe we could, you know, match your higher-end price.
26:32I'm sure we can come down a little bit.
26:34How about we sweeten it and do £75?
26:36£80 and £75. How are you doing that?
26:38We can't do it for £75.
26:40Jason, you're not in charge of the figures.
26:41How are you doing...
26:42What figures have you even got there, my friend?
26:44I like his pricing, but...
26:46I love it, I love it.
26:49We'll do the one cast then for £75, OK?
26:51Yeah.
26:52I'm happy to shake your hand and agree to that.
26:54OK, sounds good. Thank you very much.
26:56Thank you very much.
26:57Thank you. Thank you.
26:58Thank you indeed.
27:02Are you mad?
27:03No.
27:04What goes in pleb? What are you doing?
27:05I have there agreed a price at £80 for two.
27:08You have gone in and given it £75 out of nowhere
27:11with no interaction in the cell just to get your tuba in
27:13and say, I was involved.
27:14Listen, listen, you've lost us money, mate.
27:16You've lost us money and you've once again proved
27:18that you're an amateur.
27:19Both Alex and Z are the sort of people who think
27:21that they can just talk and talk and talk.
27:23And if they barrage you and break you down,
27:25that you will simply acquiesce.
27:27The deal was closed. There's nothing...
27:29You went in with no experience, not knowing what you're doing.
27:31That's all that happened in there. I'm trying...
27:33And you made us look stupid as well.
27:34They are the most intolerable, moronic people
27:37I have come across in a long time.
27:41Back in Putney...
27:42Three for tenner, no?
27:43Three pints for tenner.
27:45Ah, you're right.
27:46..sales have dried up for Tim and his girls.
27:49I think we've kind of exhausted all our avenues here.
27:52It's a small venue.
27:53We're talking to people multiple times.
27:56So I think it's time to pack up and move on.
27:58Right, yeah, we need to go.
27:59We just need to decide where we're going to go.
28:01Pitching the piano, it's on the Thames.
28:03It's a nice sunny day. People will be sitting outside.
28:05Fine.
28:06Bye, everyone!
28:08Bye!
28:10Bye! Bye-bye, Thames!
28:16It was good, it was busy.
28:17We did sell.
28:19The problem there was there wasn't enough people.
28:21It was a footfall.
28:22We had a lack of people.
28:23Shame that nobody picked up that it was a pub.
28:29Hello, hello, how are you doing?
28:32Not too bad.
28:33We're at Horde Regiment, sorry.
28:35What have you sold, mate? How many casks?
28:37Casks, we've done one and a half.
28:41Excellent.
28:43We've sold our four at our first place.
28:45How much did you sell the barrels for?
28:47We sold them at 78.
28:49Oh, fantastic.
28:50Amazing.
28:51So we're now heading towards you to pick up some more stock.
28:53We've got two unopened, so you can have those.
28:55You can have those two unopened.
28:57Bye-bye! Bye!
29:01They didn't do as well as we thought they would.
29:06South London.
29:08Met your colleagues, nice guys.
29:10For the boys, another round with the gastro chain.
29:13Now, we've been selling it slightly more expensive,
29:16but your colleagues were good at bargaining
29:18and they basically got us down to £75.
29:20Obviously, it would match that price for you as well.
29:22And in terms of labelling, in terms of the pump clip,
29:25what are we using?
29:27Unfortunately, we don't have any provision for that.
29:29We would need a pump clip.
29:31We might be able to go back to the project manager
29:33and get some pump clips, if he's got some more.
29:35No, no.
29:37We can't put it on the bar without a pump clip.
29:39We've got two options.
29:41Either I can bring back the pump clips,
29:43which will probably take us about an hour,
29:46or the second option is we do you a better deal
29:48and we just shake hands and walk away.
29:50How many are you looking for? One.
29:52I'm thinking three now.
29:54Buy three and we'll have them with you in an hour.
29:56Come on, let's be sensible.
29:58I can bring it down to my break-even point
30:00and probably look about £70.
30:02£70, no pump clip? No pump clip, as it is.
30:04You think that's a good deal? Yeah.
30:06Let's shake on it. Fantastic.
30:08They've just sold their second car.
30:10One at £70, one at £75.
30:12It's not good enough.
30:14£75 to make it, so the margin's small
30:16and the volume's hopeless.
30:18Don't get involved in negotiations
30:20when you're not in a negotiation.
30:22I've done the deal, we're shaking hands.
30:24No, hold up, three of them for pump clips.
30:264pm.
30:28If we are going to do it, we've got to do it now.
30:30We pack the van and we go.
30:32Still mulling over a move to the Southbank,
30:34Kurt's boys.
30:36I say we go now.
30:38If you want to go, I'm happy to go with you.
30:40Decision made.
30:44Journey time, two hours.
30:48Still got 300 pints to sell
30:50and about 120 minutes to do it in,
30:52so we're going to have to sell...
30:54Right, so 150 pints an hour.
30:56Two or three pints a minute.
30:58Richmond.
31:00Out to catch evening drinkers
31:02at a wine bar.
31:04Can you taste the punch of rhubarb?
31:06The girls, with their flavoured beer.
31:08Is there rhubarb and caramel?
31:10No. No? Oh.
31:12Oh, no.
31:14Hi, ladies. Are you beer drinkers?
31:16Not smart.
31:18The wine bar's packed of everyone drinking wine.
31:20They're not looking to taste a new British beer.
31:22No one bought.
31:24No one liked it.
31:26And they're surprised about that fact.
31:28Sales stalled.
31:32Time to take stock.
31:34You've got more chance of selling a pint.
31:36I know it's Saturday night, but I don't think
31:38we'll be able to sell that many here,
31:41so we might as well take both cars.
31:43We've got about 100 bottles of beer to sell.
31:45Good luck, girls.
31:47Bye.
31:52With two hours trading to go...
31:54Get the gear, get the gear.
31:56..the boys hit the South Bank...
31:58Don't tell me you're napping yet.
32:00..for the real food festival.
32:02Chocolate orange beers, one day only.
32:04Late start...
32:06This is just £2.50.
32:08..low prices.
32:10Do you like the ring of the name, a bit of this?
32:12I came up with that personally.
32:14The morning was about margins, and this evening is about volume.
32:16£2.50 a pint, chocolate orange beer,
32:18made by myself.
32:20At £2.50, we're cheaper than almost any beer
32:22that can be got in this area, and people are enjoying it.
32:24Yeah, let's get in!
32:28Central London.
32:30This is our last chance.
32:32Facing their final appointment, the girls.
32:34Hi there.
32:36Hi, how are you?
32:38I'm Leah. Ross, nice to meet you.
32:40I've had a look at your bar, there's nothing similar to this,
32:42guys. It really is just jumping out at me.
32:46One hour to go.
32:48The thing is, Willow... Where is she?
32:50She's sat there, chatting to boys.
32:52All right, no props, guys.
32:56I sold eight.
32:58Eight bottles, you go off.
33:00Sometimes you have to do a bit of schmoozing, guys.
33:02If we can do something
33:04around the £65 mark...
33:07That's slightly lower than our price point.
33:09We've been selling this
33:11at about £80.
33:13I don't buy anything for £80.
33:15If I could do a deal, both of them, at £70.
33:17£69.99.
33:19I'll shake hands on that.
33:21Thank you very much. Thank you kindly.
33:25The South Bank.
33:27We've got 30 minutes left. Chocolate, orange,
33:29taste sensation. Two quid a pint.
33:31That's all.
33:33£2 a pint! It's just £2 a pint!
33:35They've dropped the price.
33:37What's a pint of bitter in central London?
33:39£3.50. Price matters.
33:41Even for £4 a pint, I'd enjoy that,
33:43but it's gorgeous.
33:45£2 a pint, what do you want, five?
33:47Selling like hotcakes.
33:49Ten minutes left to line up last orders.
33:51We're going to have a great evening with all this.
33:55So in terms then of the quantity,
33:57I can sell you two at £90 per cap.
33:59Shall we shake on that?
34:01£1!
34:03£1 a pint!
34:05£1 a pint, just for the last five minutes!
34:07Where else would you get that in London?
34:09Come on, Boris.
34:11You've got a great product at the 1-0.
34:13I think it'll be fantastic.
34:15£90 per cap. Well done.
34:17Thank you, Boris. Thank you. Well done.
34:238pm.
34:25For both teams.
34:27Closing time.
34:31Did you manage to shift the casts?
34:33We sold both of them.
34:35Well done, guys.
34:37For how much for?
34:39I'll let Leah tell you.
34:41Hey, guys, we sold them both at £90 each.
34:43Yes!
34:47Tonight, takings will be totaled.
34:51Tomorrow, the bitter truth in the boardroom.
35:01MUSIC PLAYS
35:19You can go through to the boardroom now.
35:31MUSIC CONTINUES
35:51Good afternoon.
35:53Good afternoon, Lord Sugar.
35:57I think I'll start off with Endeavour.
36:00Alex, sit up properly a little bit.
36:02Is there something wrong?
36:04Sorry, Lord Sugar.
36:06I just like the place to be a little bit orderly.
36:08Anyway, who designed all this, the label and all that stuff?
36:10I came up with the name,
36:12and I came up with the flavouring as well.
36:14This is the name, A Bitter This?
36:16A Bitter This, yes.
36:18Is the idea that if you drink enough of this,
36:20that name becomes funny, or what?
36:22I actually quite like it.
36:24So were you happy with the way you were split up?
36:26I think there were some concerns
36:28about Z coming to the manufacturing team
36:30when his religious beliefs
36:32don't really allow him to handle alcohol so much.
36:34Right.
36:36Do you drink?
36:38Not massively, Lord Sugar, to be honest.
36:40And you, Orson?
36:42I actually dislike beer.
36:44What you're supposed to do in this process
36:46is to deploy people in the skills that they're best at.
36:48I mean, how do you send people to a brewery
36:50that don't drink?
36:52And in Z's case, particularly,
36:54I mean, he is as dry as a cream cracker
36:56in the bleeding Sahara Desert.
36:58So,
37:00you've come up with your product,
37:02you've come up with your brand,
37:04your next day is your selling day.
37:06How did that work out?
37:08You didn't send them off with any samples, did you?
37:10No.
37:12You had an empty bottle.
37:14Did you get any samples in the end?
37:16Yes, we did.
37:18Just one question on that.
37:20Initially, when I spoke to you on the phone,
37:22you expressed that you had no samples.
37:25I asked you the question, and then you said it was me.
37:27I said, no, Alex, you didn't ask me.
37:29Then you backtracked and said, actually, it was Miles.
37:31And then you did backstroke.
37:33No, whoa, whoa, whoa.
37:35Did I say it to you?
37:37Kurt, there was no backstroke.
37:39Did I tell you that you could not take samples?
37:41Yes.
37:43Anyway, listen, all I'm trying to say...
37:45You are a liar.
37:47I didn't think you'd be that stupid
37:49to walk out without a sample.
37:51What were you retail people doing then?
37:53£2.60 for a half.
37:55And the bottle was how much?
37:57£4 as well.
37:59So, according to Nick, when you got to the South Bank,
38:01you dropped the prices.
38:03That's correct, yes.
38:05So, you're outside in St Albans, outside London,
38:07and you're charging £4 a pop,
38:09and then you get into London,
38:11where these people are used to paying £4,
38:13and you drop the price.
38:15It should be the other way round, shouldn't it?
38:17The decision that we made, Lord Sugar,
38:19was that we had a lot of stock to sell,
38:21and you were the only person in your selling team.
38:23I'll answer that.
38:25Go on, then.
38:27Me and Zeeshan were just at the point of closing a deal
38:29at £80,
38:31and Jason piped up and said,
38:33we'll give it to you for £75.
38:35Why would you do that?
38:37I didn't, and I think that's the issue.
38:39No, you did.
38:41Jason, you lost us money on this task,
38:43on not one, but two occasions.
38:45Is that true, Jason?
38:47I felt that they lost the plot.
38:50Alex disgraced you, in fact, Lord Sugar.
38:52Really?
38:54He was swearing at me throughout the whole day.
38:56Swearing at you?
38:58Not the public?
39:00No, but it was plain deception, Lord Sugar.
39:02They used plainly deceptive tactics
39:04in order to sell a very good product.
39:06You from the Office of Fair Trading?
39:08No.
39:10When I said to you, look, Jason, please listen,
39:12please respect my decision,
39:14and stay out of the sale,
39:16and the final sale, we sold two casks in 15 minutes.
39:18As a publican would say,
39:20it's a time, gentlemen.
39:22So, Evolve.
39:24Tim, the reason I chose you
39:26was for your business idea.
39:28You said you want to come up with a drinks business.
39:30Yes.
39:32So, based on that, tell me how you got on.
39:34Yeah, great.
39:36We wanted to try and go mass market.
39:38We knew we wanted it to be quite unique,
39:40we knew we wanted to use rhubarb.
39:42Tell me about the manufacturing process.
39:44I've been told by Karen that you took four hours
39:46trying to compute
39:48how much stuff is in there.
39:50Who's the mathematician here?
39:52Francesca was doing the maths.
39:54I'm not a mathematician, I have GCSE maths.
39:56You don't have to be a mathematician.
39:58I'm just saying, I'm quick with numbers.
40:00You ditched 90 litres of stuff, didn't you?
40:02Every other part of the maths, we knew what we were doing.
40:04I've never seen anything like it.
40:06Our hands up to say,
40:08we nearly melted down.
40:10This is simple multiplication, isn't it?
40:12It is not rocket science.
40:15Let's get on to the second day.
40:17So, where did you end up, then?
40:19We ended up at the Kent Beer Festival.
40:21This so-called beer festival,
40:23which actually turned out to be a glorified pub.
40:25Yeah.
40:27There was conflicting views within the group
40:29whether the Foo Festival was better or the Kent Beer Festival.
40:31In the end, it was a team decision
40:33that the Kent Beer Festival was better.
40:35Did you think of moving somewhere else afterwards?
40:37We moved to Richmond,
40:39moved into a bar on the River Thames.
40:41We thought that would have a high footfall.
40:43Tim, upon you,
40:45a good project manager or not?
40:47Overall, I think he was.
40:49Yeah, I think he was.
40:51He was? Yeah.
40:53OK, good. Right, well, let's talk about some money here.
40:55Let's see how this all turned out.
40:59So, Karen,
41:01could you give me the numbers for Evolve, please?
41:05Well, you spent £648.67.
41:09Your sales to the trade were £492.
41:13Sales to the public were £555.69,
41:17which means your profit was £399.02.
41:23OK.
41:25Nick, same thing for Endeavour.
41:27Endeavour incurred costs of £601.40.
41:31Sales to trade, a lot lower than Evolve's, £284.98.
41:37But sales to the public reached £1,147.98,
41:39generating a profit of £831.56.
41:45Come on!
41:47Yes!
41:49Very good.
41:51It's very good indeed.
41:53OK, well, look,
41:55you might be sick and tired of beer by now,
41:57but I'm going to send you,
41:59as a little treat,
42:01over to Belgium.
42:05And I'll see you all on the next task, OK?
42:07Off you go.
42:19Well, Evolve,
42:21you haven't evolved into winners yet,
42:23that's for sure,
42:25and you'll come back in this boardroom
42:27and we'll go into this in a bit more detail.
42:29One of you will be fired today, OK?
42:31Off you go.
42:37This is lovely, isn't it?
42:39But it's true!
42:41Look at all on there!
42:45Enough of the sightseeing.
42:47Let's go and get a beer.
42:49Come on.
42:53Is it as good as ours?
42:55That's the question.
42:57Congratulations, everyone.
42:59Team Endeavour.
43:01Cheers.
43:03Another victory.
43:06Cheers.
43:08That's a very nice beer.
43:10It's not quite as nice as a bit of this, though.
43:22Whose idea was it to book the Kent Beer Festival?
43:24Where did that come from?
43:26Rebecca did actually push forward the...
43:28Yeah, haven't you?
43:30You can't just pin the blame on Tim.
43:32That's not fair.
43:34I'm not forcing you into anything.
43:36I'm just telling everyone to be fair.
43:38I feel the blame's being pinned on myself.
43:40It's definitely an alliance
43:42trying to get me to take the blame for it.
43:44I'm not willing to take responsibility.
43:46We lost this task purely because on location.
43:48Obviously, Tim's an easy bet because he's project manager.
43:50Tim had the final say.
43:52I did have the final say.
43:54Tim would always have the final say,
43:56cos he's the PM.
43:58Can't always let the buck stop with Tim.
44:00I think it's really, really unfair.
44:04Will you send the candidates in, please?
44:06Yes, Lord Sugar.
44:08Lord Sugar will see you now.
44:34Well, Tim,
44:36you were the project manager.
44:38Let's just talk about the manufacturing mess,
44:40first of all.
44:42It cost you £123
44:44in raw material
44:46cost that you had to throw away.
44:48I want to know
44:50how you was unable
44:52to work out what you needed
44:54to make in scaling up
44:56the mass production volume.
44:58Francesca was in charge of the numbers.
45:00I was in charge of the numbers.
45:02Francesca was in charge of the numbers.
45:04I've never had any manufacturing experience.
45:06I'm not sure about kilograms to litres.
45:08That's not what I do.
45:10We were all in a flat because
45:12when we...
45:14Can we start with this we?
45:16OK, I ignored it.
45:18Is it we or is it you?
45:20It's we. We're a team.
45:22We work very well as a team,
45:24so that's why I like to say we instead of I.
45:26Do you know,
45:28I'm sitting here looking at you seven ladies here,
45:30who have got through into this process
45:32on the basis that
45:34I'm going to give £250,000
45:36to somebody
45:38to go into a business 50-50
45:40and you're sitting there dumbfounded
45:42looking at me
45:44with dumb expressions on you here.
45:46If you want to stay in this process
45:48I want to hear from you.
45:50I'm not going to waste my time
45:52talking to
45:54a load of dummies, really,
45:56who don't want to speak up.
45:58I think it's anti-location, Lord Sugar.
46:00But you ended up in a glorified pub.
46:02We did, we did, and that was an oversight.
46:04And who made that decision?
46:06Yeah, it was an oversight.
46:08And who made that decision?
46:10Who made the decision, Tim?
46:12Ultimately I made the decision because I was the one on the phone call.
46:14No, who suggested it?
46:16However, it was strongly suggested to me by Rebecca
46:18that we should definitely, definitely go there.
46:20You're having a laugh, Tim.
46:22Tim doesn't want to upset anybody.
46:24I don't want to upset anybody.
46:26Hang on, everybody, let me have a word.
46:28I want to say something.
46:30The dossier was open,
46:32we were flicking through it,
46:34I pointed at it, and you nodded.
46:36Is that supposed to mean me entirely taking responsibility?
46:38A food festival, you don't have any competition.
46:40It was an obvious decision.
46:42Can I finish?
46:44This has been building up for some time
46:46and this has nothing to do with this task at all.
46:48But it's great.
46:50We can deal with this, it's great.
46:52It's about time.
46:54You've been undermining me the whole time.
46:56Why are you pointing your finger at me?
46:58Do you not think that's undermining?
47:00That's not the first time you did that either.
47:02I'm surprised you even have the awareness, to be fair.
47:04Really?
47:06I'm losing it here, ladies.
47:08A bit of a problem between you two?
47:10There is not a problem, to be really honest, Karen.
47:12There is a problem.
47:14What's the problem, Rebecca?
47:16I find her very difficult to deal with.
47:18She's very rude to me.
47:20She has been very rude to me on several occasions.
47:22That is so unfair.
47:24And I think everyone will back me on that, Karen.
47:26That is really unfair.
47:28That's not fair, Rebecca.
47:30I know you're all in cahoots.
47:32What?
47:34Four of you are, so that's fine.
47:36There's actually been two times you've sucked up her hand.
47:38The location was wrong.
47:40You made the decision.
47:42I didn't make a decision on the location.
47:44I have never seen such a bloody mess
47:46in the first two weeks
47:48of this process
47:50as what I've seen today.
47:52If ever in my life I've come across a team
47:54who literally
47:56couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery,
47:58it's now.
48:00I'm sitting here thinking to myself,
48:02you're all a bloody waste of space
48:04at the moment.
48:06I mean, the basic fundamentals,
48:08counting,
48:10calculations, locations,
48:12where are you going to sell?
48:14These are elementary things.
48:16You can't sort these things out now,
48:18because in week two,
48:20God knows what's going to happen to you
48:22when we get down the line in week eight and week nine.
48:24I can't see any of you being here.
48:26You'd better get your act together.
48:30Tim? Yeah?
48:32Who are you bringing back into this boardroom?
48:36I'm bringing back in Francesca and Rebecca, Lord Sugar.
48:40Right.
48:42This is a total mess, I've got to tell you.
48:44The rest of you, go back to the house.
48:56Rebecca, I've got no time
48:58for tittle-tattle,
49:00because I tell you what, if you can't get on with people,
49:02that could be a problem, OK?
49:04So I don't want to hear any more about that.
49:06You three step outside, I'll call you back in shortly, OK?
49:14OK.
49:22What is all that with Rebecca?
49:24What's the matter with her?
49:26When you bring strong women together,
49:28you do get opinions.
49:30But the point is, is that business is business.
49:32She sold £312 worth
49:34of beer to the trade,
49:36more than anybody.
49:38Tim, I get the feeling
49:40that he had no control of this thing.
49:44He's not up on all the calculations.
49:46The whole thing from start to finish went badly.
49:48Two reasons.
49:50Numbers and locations.
49:54PHONE RINGS
49:56Can you send the three of them in, please?
49:58Yes, Lord Sugar.
50:00You can go through to the boardroom now.
50:02MUSIC PLAYS
50:12Rebecca, I can detect that he was a bit upset
50:14about what went on in the previous meeting.
50:16Mm. That's life.
50:18That's the kind of bitchiness of life.
50:20That's business, yeah? Yes.
50:22You need to convince me whether you can hack this process,
50:24cos it's a tough old game.
50:26I think I can hack this process. I think I am...
50:28You need to convince me, really.
50:30I think I can hack this process.
50:32I behave in a very professional manner.
50:34I am a team player.
50:36I wish to bring out the best in myself
50:38and in other people.
50:40I have a business plan
50:42I feel passionate about,
50:44which I would like to show you.
50:46By no means have you seen
50:48all of my different skills
50:50in business.
50:52Tim, I'm wondering, really,
50:54whether you did lead the team at all.
50:56Every single idea,
50:58every single thing you came up with
51:00is actually one of these other people
51:02kind of walked over you.
51:04No, we did come to team decisions.
51:06There was no autocratic,
51:08this is what we're going to do.
51:10I was put on the girls' team.
51:12People whose strengths I don't know.
51:14I hadn't had that first task to get to know people.
51:16They don't know each other, either.
51:18You have a male come round and try to boss
51:20a group of seven strong girls around.
51:22I don't think it would have gone down very well.
51:24We came to group decisions and everyone was happy.
51:26Did you have any complaints from the fact that you didn't make any decisions?
51:28No, not at all.
51:30What's Francesca doing in here?
51:32Francesca said due to the problem we had
51:34with the correct amounts of flavouring,
51:36I thought that task had been delegated successfully
51:38to someone who could come up with a figure
51:40and not crack under pressure
51:42when the figures were questioned.
51:44I dispute that I cracked under pressure
51:46because the only person who was keeping the cool
51:48and just trying to think it through logically was me.
51:50Tim, who's responsible for the failure of the task
51:52out of the three people here?
51:54Out of the three people here, it's not me
51:56and I would have to say it's Rebecca.
51:58Look at the numbers. Rebecca was your best seller.
52:00Right?
52:02Well, actually, on the whole of this task
52:04she sold more than anybody else did,
52:06including the boys,
52:08all put together.
52:10Unless I'm missing the point somewhere,
52:12what was she doing here?
52:14The reason Rebecca's in here is due to the primary location.
52:16I think it's unfair that Tim
52:18is putting the responsibility of the location
52:20down to me.
52:22Tim, unfortunately, is project manager.
52:24Who do you think should be fired, then?
52:26It should be Tim in this instance.
52:28Tim had the ultimate decisions on the locations
52:30and I think pinning it on Rebecca is wrong.
52:32I'm 23. I do make mistakes, but I am a fast learner.
52:34I am learning all the time.
52:36This task has taught me so much
52:38and these are mistakes that I won't make again
52:40if I do have these talents, which I think I do.
52:42I want to show them to you. I want to prove them to you.
52:44You sound very enthusiastic.
52:46I am very enthusiastic.
52:48You've got your own business already.
52:50Francesca, I've heard lots of things
52:52that you did wrong. What did you actually do right?
52:54What did I do right?
52:56Yeah.
52:58I priced up all the bottles, I priced up the pints.
53:00I'm asking you whether you think you're responsible
53:02No, I don't think I'm responsible.
53:04on this mess up in the factory
53:06on the numbers, right?
53:08Absolutely not. It's Tim that's responsible for choosing
53:10the wrong places to sell the product we had.
53:14Well, Tim,
53:16you have been honest in accepting
53:18the responsibility for lots of things
53:20that have gone wrong in this task.
53:22You're a young man.
53:24You've got a lot of enthusiasm
53:26and I think you have a lot to learn also.
53:30Francesca, you worked hard.
53:32You did make the product
53:34but you got your numbers wrong.
53:36This was a disaster.
53:40Rebecca,
53:42I'm concerned about you.
53:44I've got to think about me
53:46running a business, okay?
53:48And I don't need trouble.
53:50I don't need aggravation. I don't need people
53:52that are sensitive to that degree.
53:56You've given me
53:58a bit of a dilemma here.
54:04Tim,
54:06your business plan was having to do with drinks.
54:08So I give you the job of being
54:10the project manager
54:12and you make a mess.
54:14Now, you're young,
54:16people can make mistakes
54:18but you didn't apply
54:20any thought to this task.
54:22I've got nowhere else to go here.
54:26Tim, you're fired.
54:28Thank you, Lord Sugar.
54:40You heard what I said, didn't you?
54:42I did, yes.
54:44Business is business, right?
54:46Sort it, yeah?
54:48Off you go to the house.
54:50I'll see you on the next task.
55:12The team was all
55:14partly responsible for this task
55:16but at the end of the day, I did mess up big time
55:18and I had to be accountable for that.
55:20I do feel, if they haven't seen the last of me,
55:22this new drinks business will be launching
55:24so watch out.
55:28There were fireworks in that boardroom.
55:30What happened?
55:32She said a few things that she shouldn't have brought
55:34into the boardroom because it would just make her look
55:36really stupid and silly.
55:38She said that I personally attacked her.
55:40Who do you think's going, then?
55:42Just think that we went to the wrong location
55:44and that's Rebecca's fault.
55:46Come on, Rebecca is not responsible.
55:48She chose to go to that location.
55:52CHEERING
55:54I told you.
55:56You were right.
55:58Well done.
56:04Straight away they walked in.
56:06So, what happened?
56:08It was between me and Tim.
56:10It was very, very sad to see Tim go.
56:12It was getting a little bit, you know,
56:14too many guys in the shower in the morning anyway.
56:16Just needed a few more of you to go now.
56:22Now 14 remain.
56:24Lord Sugar's search for his next business partner
56:26continues.
