00:00Previously...
00:10This task is making money from interior design.
00:15..a five-star hotel makeover...
00:17This, to me, screams British. ..led by Ross.
00:20I would also scream no. No.
00:22The boys spared no expense...
00:241,500. So we need two of them.
00:26..but their best of British theme...
00:28It's like someone's puked rainbow in this place.
00:31..got a poor reception.
00:33It's certainly not British.
00:35Hello, who's that? It's your PM.
00:37..led by Bushra...
00:38Landscape, greenery, water, stone, bike.
00:40That's ridiculous.
00:42..the girls' team...
00:43Guys, it's half the price.
00:45..bagged the bargains.
00:46We like cheaper.
00:48We want this art-deco feel.
00:50..but their creativity...
00:51Can you let me speak now? Let me finish my point there.
00:54..turned to chaos.
00:55No, no, no!
00:57In the boardroom...
00:58You did that to cover your own back.
01:00How did I?
01:01..despite more arguments...
01:02The ladies have won.
01:03..a second win for the girls.
01:05The only way you'd get that as a five-star room is on Crap Advisor.
01:09Ross nearly checked out...
01:11Can I speak? I don't want to hear any more.
01:13..but in the end...
01:14Where was the creativity?
01:15I have a background in breakdancing.
01:17You have to be creative to do breakdancing.
01:19..it was Geoff's last dance.
01:21Geoff, you're fired.
01:24Now, 16 remain to fight for the chance
01:27to become Lord Sugar's business partner.
01:385.45am.
01:40Good morning. Lord Sugar would like you to meet him
01:43at London's New Design Museum.
01:45Cars will be outside in 20 minutes.
01:4720 minutes, London New Design Museum.
01:53We're two boys down. How do you feel?
01:55One of those girls has got to go, get rid of some of the deadwood.
01:59Ooh, now I can see.
02:02I'm not looking forward to working with boys,
02:04cos I think they can be quite demanding.
02:06Yeah, like babies. Baby.
02:16What if they move one girl across, even at the numbers?
02:19I would not want to go onto that team.
02:21I'm, like, shotgunning that I stay with the ladies today.
02:23No, I'd go over to the boys, quite happily.
02:25Yeah? Go over as long as I could with PM.
02:27Yeah. If I had to listen to one of them,
02:29I'd just rather kill myself.
02:33London's Design Museum.
02:37From iconic fashion...
02:39..to groundbreaking tech.
02:42Home to some of the world's most influential creations.
02:52Good morning.
02:54Good morning, Mr Chair.
02:56Within this museum, there is past technology
03:00that has changed many people's lives
03:03and the way that we go about doing things.
03:06Now, I've invited you here because your next task
03:09is that you'll be selling robots.
03:12I'll be giving both teams your very own prototype.
03:16You'll have to make a prototype.
03:18I'll be giving both teams your very own prototype.
03:22You'll have to brand it and pitch it to major retailers.
03:26And I'm also going to ask you to tap into the kids' market
03:29by selecting a toy robot
03:32and selling it to small, independent shops.
03:36The team that secures orders and sales
03:39worth most amount of money will win.
03:42And in the losing team, at least one of you will be fired.
03:47Now, gentlemen, you've lost the last two tasks.
03:51You're light on personnel.
03:54Now, Michaela, I understand that you've got four brothers, have you?
03:59Is that right? Yeah, I do.
04:01And you keep them in place, is that right? Yeah.
04:04Well, go over there and keep this lot under control.
04:08I'm going to make you the project manager of this team.
04:11Off you go.
04:14Once the staff of science fiction,
04:17today a new breed of robots are leaving the lab
04:21and moving into our homes,
04:23able to talk to us and take on everyday tasks.
04:27I can be programmed to do some seriously impressive things.
04:32Starting with the same model...
04:34I can dance.
04:36..teams have two days to brand,
04:39programme
04:41and sell a prototype.
04:44It's the spirit of Jeff.
04:46Like all of you, I love a challenge,
04:49so I think we're going to get along just great.
04:52It's pretty impressive, isn't it? Wow.
04:55First job for the girls, choose a chief.
04:58I'd like to put myself forward for PM.
05:00I would also like to put myself forward
05:02just because I absolutely love robots.
05:06I think I can get the branding right with this
05:08and I think I can understand the target market.
05:10I just think I'd be right to lead this team.
05:12Well, in that respect, I defer to you.
05:14Yeah. Is everyone else happy with that?
05:17Are you happy with that? Yes.
05:20Taking charge of the boys, Michaela.
05:23I'm buzzing. I couldn't be happier.
05:25It can be a little bit intense on the girls' team,
05:27but you just better all behave.
05:30Next, decide who to target with their bot.
05:34I think we should look at the over-60s
05:36on the basis that over-60s will tend to spend
05:38quite a lot of time in the house.
05:40One thing that is quite difficult to do
05:42is sort of train them and teach them about technology
05:45because this is something... They're not dead.
05:47No, of course not, but they haven't been...
05:49We've had smartphones for ten years now.
05:51Can I just finish? I'd say over-60s.
05:53My reason is this will still target a younger market
05:55because they'll buy it for their parents or their grandparents.
05:58Exactly. Perfect. We're all happy. Yeah.
06:02On the other team...
06:03OK, so I'm going to go with kids.
06:05I think we've got a couple of parents in here
06:07who will be able to push that brand message as well.
06:10Target market decided.
06:12Next, team split.
06:14Joanna, are you happy to come on the prototype team with me?
06:17I am. And Anissa? Yeah, 100%.
06:19And Bushra? Yes, I am, thank you. OK.
06:21And then the rest of you, are you happy to go on the toy team?
06:24Yes. Yes, definitely.
06:26I would like Sarah...
06:28I would like you to lead the sub-team for me, please.
06:31Her word is the last word.
06:33I need to make sure that they know that I am the project manager
06:36and I will only try and bring out the best of their abilities.
06:39If we do that, we'll win.
06:41I don't want any negativity.
06:43Even if you turn around and you don't think anything's a good idea,
06:46turn a negative into a positive.
06:50Managing her manpower, Michaela.
06:53So, Andrew, you go on the prototype team.
06:55James, you go on the prototype team.
06:57Ross, prototype.
06:59Harrison, prototype.
07:01Then the rest of us will take on the toy sales team.
07:05And I am going to appoint Harrison as the sub-team leader.
07:09From what I've seen of the boys so far, they seem really up for it.
07:12They're determined to beat the girls,
07:14but obviously if these start going off on one,
07:16then they're going to get whipped.
07:19Yeah, yeah, we're definitely going to win.
07:21Team Graphene, let's go.
07:2311am.
07:26Half of each team sets off to programme prototypes.
07:30Come on!
07:32For the rest, choose a toy robot to sell tomorrow.
07:37Yeah, I think it's absolutely key that we all know what we're doing
07:40at all times and we're all making a point to make ourselves informed
07:43and then we can support each other.
07:45Listen to your own advice, Elizabeth.
07:47OK.
07:49What does that mean?
07:51Nothing.
07:53Your old airbag.
07:55Thank you for that.
07:57Hot airbag, I meant.
07:59I'm trying to add something.
08:01Sometimes you like to blow your own trumpet, that's all.
08:03I'm only trying to help.
08:05If you could, you would, that's all.
08:07So, you know, you know I love you, Victoria.
08:09I'll not put anything else in, I've a sick mind.
08:11Come on, don't get emotional, that's what we're not meant to be doing.
08:14Shall we just have a few minutes?
08:16Take a deep breath. I'm trying to help.
08:18We're all in it together.
08:25North London.
08:27A design base for both teams.
08:29Middlesex University.
08:31Jade, nice to meet you.
08:33Working on what the over-60s want from a robot.
08:35Harrison, nice to meet you.
08:37Harrison's half of the boys.
08:39Well, I personally think we should maybe look into the recipe aid.
08:41It tells you the cooking times,
08:43it can tell you all the ingredients you need to do,
08:45so that's why I like that.
08:47I want to do yoga, personally.
08:49I think, given the age group, it's a really important thing
08:51that they can stay active.
08:53Nice one. And could you say,
08:55OK, we've got three. Perfect.
08:57Guys, can we start with getting some moves together for yoga,
09:00so we can incorporate this in the pitch
09:02and demonstrate what the robot can do, please?
09:04If the robot could go down, like...
09:06..like that.
09:08Something on the lines of, like...
09:10..like that.
09:12Could he do something like this?
09:14Down like that.
09:16And he went up like that.
09:18I'm not sure that's actually technically yoga.
09:21The robot would be teaching different aspects of language,
09:25different aspects of numbers.
09:27Set on a study aid for kids.
09:29But obviously then making it interactive
09:31and making it a fun element with karate.
09:34Next job for Jade's girls.
09:36Give their prototype a personality.
09:38Am I being the robot? Yes, you're going to be the robot.
09:41OK. See if you can change your voice slightly
09:43to, like, someone a bit younger.
09:45I don't know, just, like, try and put a bit of upbeat...
09:47OK, record.
09:49Hi there, such a lovely introduction.
09:51What's your name?
09:52I think it sounds a bit too harsh to say we're speaking to kids.
09:55I think it should be very, like... Softly.
09:57Hello, what's your name?
09:59I have never had in my life women shouting at me
10:02in all the conditions to have a happy robotic voice
10:05or working against me and make me feel really panicky.
10:08I'm a robot of many features, but helping you learn...
10:10You're doing it too quickly. ..and have fun is my special talent.
10:13Just do that again. Slow it down.
10:15I am a robot of many features. OK.
10:18It was incredibly intense.
10:20Let's begin with languages.
10:22We will travel the world together.
10:24Just do that again, but slow it down.
10:28East London.
10:30Selecting a toy robot to sell tomorrow.
10:33The most important thing is to show them that we love this product.
10:36Stand back.
10:37The other half of both teams.
10:39That is so cool.
10:41First up, a flying robot.
10:43OK, what is the cost price to retailers, please?
10:46That's £39.65. £39.65. OK.
10:50Next... I'm going to demonstrate Penguin.
10:53..a construction robot built from the box.
10:56I actually have a son who's seven years old and he would love this.
10:59I think it's an amazing product, yeah.
11:01Hi. Hi.
11:03Finally, a balancing bot.
11:09Have you any functionality built in
11:11so children can start to design their own code and write their own code?
11:14It's probably something that we could and should look at.
11:19Well, I think you can see we all love it
11:21and I very much hope we can sell it for you.
11:23And we'll talk a bit later. Thank you so much.
11:25Thank you. Great to meet you. Nice to meet you.
11:27Thank you. Thanks.
11:29So, ladies, what do we think about the balancing robot?
11:32Love it. I like it as well. Definitely need to go for that one.
11:35My only worry is I don't want her to have taken away the fact
11:38that you pointed out something that could potentially be wrong with it.
11:41They might, you know, feel a little bit undermined.
11:44Note.
11:48I'll show you what else you can do.
11:50If you're feeling generous, you can deliver a snack.
11:52That is cool. Your own personal assistant.
11:56Lauren, I must say, I really do think
11:58we are the best people to sell this product for you.
12:01Everyone here is full of personality.
12:03If anybody can sell it, Saj can sell it.
12:05Thanks very much. Thanks, Lauren.
12:07See you again. Nice to meet you. See you again.
12:09Having weighed up all three options, decision time.
12:12My thoughts on it is the balancing one's the best, most educational, fun.
12:16With both teams leaning towards the balancing bot...
12:19Hi. Hi, Lauren.
12:21..the vendor will decide who will represent her.
12:24We would absolutely love to represent you
12:26and the balancing robot tomorrow and sell it for you.
12:31I think we'd be delighted for you to sell our product.
12:33Oh, Lauren, I love you a little bit. That's brilliant news.
12:37I think all four of you showed a real excitement and enthusiasm
12:40and I think that's really important.
12:42So, therefore, unfortunately, I have gone with the other team.
12:45Get in there! Yes!
12:47Finally. Good job. Yeah, boy!
12:49I can smell it already.
12:51That's a disappointment. It is.
12:53It could be a blatant in disguise, though.
12:55It's frustrating because there's an underlying tension
12:57between Elizabeth and Siobhan in the team,
12:59which may be why we didn't get the balancing robot.
13:01There's a sort of a miserable air about it,
13:03which is a bit off and we need to get that changed.
13:06Second choice, we're going to go with the flying robot. Yeah. OK.
13:103pm.
13:12At the robotics lab, next for Harrison's half of the boys...
13:16So I definitely like the idea of going down the direction
13:18of a human name myself.
13:20..cook up a name to tempt the over-60s.
13:23Geoffrey, but it's J-E-F-F and then R-I-I.
13:27What was the idea behind the I-I?
13:29Cos interactive, you know, like, a lot of this new technology has I in it.
13:33I like the sound of it. What about you, James?
13:35I'm Geoffrey. I'm happy with Geoffrey as well.
13:37Sounds good. I'm feeling good so far.
13:39Everything that could have gone well has gone well.
13:41We just need to make sure we keep up the energy,
13:43keep up the creative flow and take that forward
13:45into the next part of the process. Let's wrap it up.
13:48We're going to go with Geoffrey with two I's
13:50and we're going to go with your helping hand for life.
13:52Look at... Three, done.
13:54Also coming up with names...
13:56It doesn't encompass a name, but it encompasses what it does.
13:59..from PR fashion agent Anissa...
14:02You were talking about doing fun learning and education,
14:04things like that. ..a surge of ideas.
14:06So I thought Fleurne.
14:08I think that Fleurne sounds a little bit too girly.
14:11Just as an option for the fun? We don't like that.
14:13I don't even like that to be an option, to be honest.
14:15OK, let's think of some...
14:17What's your favourite... OK, so dog names.
14:19I know it sounds crazy, but, like, a family pet,
14:21so that it's going to be part of the family.
14:23Like Stan or Rufus or just something that's like a family...
14:26Sounds like a dog. I know, exactly.
14:28What about something like X-Men or something like that?
14:30Something that's just, like, whimsical and made up,
14:32that's using, I don't know...
14:34Anime in Japanese, like Ponyo, like Shrek,
14:36like a word that's just, like...
14:38A cartoon character, Tom and Jerry.
14:40I don't know, just a word that is nothing to do with tech.
14:42Can I just stop speaking for two seconds and just think? Sure.
14:48What about just doing it as the E.bot?
14:51Ebot.
14:52Your interactive study buddy.
14:54Learn and grow with me.
14:56Says what it is on the tin. I like it.
14:58You happy? Yeah.
15:035pm.
15:04Why can't the robot introduce the pitch and say hello?
15:07Well, it could.
15:08Brainstorming ways to pitch their prototype.
15:10So we've got,
15:11Hello, I'm Geoffrey and I'm your helping hand for life.
15:14Harrison's boys.
15:17Hi, Mikaela, you all right?
15:18How are you getting on?
15:19Yeah, doing really well.
15:21The name that we agreed was Geoffrey with a double I at the end.
15:26OK, all right, all right.
15:28Can I just say, I'm just slightly confused about one thing.
15:31The word went written down.
15:32I don't know if it looks right. Geoffrey.
15:34What's wrong with it?
15:36Have you written it down? Like, G-E-F-F-R-I-I?
15:39It's what it is, what it is. It's Geoffrey.
15:41We've kind of linked,
15:42we've made sure we've had a nice subtle link
15:44of the robotics and the humans.
15:46And I think we've brought them together very well.
15:48OK, really, really amazing. I love you all.
15:50Bye. Bye.
15:51Bye, Tra.
15:52Bye. Tra.
15:53Oh, we love Mikaela.
15:55I think having Geoffrey as the name of the robot is ideal.
15:58You want something in your home that you can relate to
16:01with a human name, it's definitely going to work.
16:03Are you a lot of feeling confident? I feel confident.
16:05Yeah, definitely. James? Yeah, confident.
16:096pm.
16:10I am a robot of many features.
16:12Yeah, that's the one, thank you.
16:14Functions fixed.
16:15I hope that you can make it work for us.
16:17Scripts signed off.
16:18All right, I'll see you tomorrow. Cheers, thank you.
16:20Both robots will be programmed overnight.
16:26For the other half of each team...
16:28We need E-board up high. He's holding it up.
16:30He's saying, learn and grow with me.
16:32..create branding for their prototype.
16:34What do you all think about the branding they've chosen,
16:37Geoffrey with the double I?
16:38From project manager Mikaela...
16:40I'll write it how they've spelt it,
16:42so we can see just in big letters.
16:44..a change of direction...
16:46I just don't think it looks right.
16:48No, when you look at it straight away,
16:50it just feels that these letters don't connect here.
16:53It doesn't feel like a flowing word, does it?
16:56What other suggestions would you have?
16:58I personally would go for Simon,
17:00with the two I's in the middle, both lowercase.
17:04Yeah, I think that's a real good name as well, just Simon.
17:07So that's the name I'm going to go for.
17:09OK, so, Charles and Elliot, I want you to please sort out
17:12the key facts that's going to appear on the...
17:15A0 board. Yeah.
17:17So if you sort that out, then we can have a little look at this.
17:207.30pm.
17:22Go thicker, go thicker, go thicker, go thicker.
17:24Stop.
17:25For the girls, pitch board complete.
17:28That works. Well done, guys.
17:30On the other team...
17:31Can we try it with that blue on a black background?
17:34..five minutes remain to bring Simon to life.
17:38Or maybe grey, actually.
17:40So I want the full board background in grey,
17:42in that grey what you've done, yeah?
17:44Are we close to the logo? Sorry to be...
17:46Yeah, we've got there with the colours now, so two minutes.
17:49Can you zoom out so I can tell you where to place that on there?
17:52Just so you know, we've only got about five minutes.
17:54We might need to make that a bit bigger.
17:56We need to get this information in it, otherwise it's pointless.
17:58Yeah, can we have the tagline just immediately beneath it?
18:01What was the tagline?
18:03Your helping hand for life. OK.
18:05Literally just copy this out as it is for him.
18:07Check this all for typos.
18:08The last thing we need is any spelling mistakes.
18:10Dark robots weren't for you.
18:12Question mark.
18:13And then, erm...
18:148pm.
18:15Sorry, guys.
18:16Design time...
18:18..over.
18:20Can you turn it around for us? Yeah, sure.
18:24Well, look, it's not... It's not ideal, because...
18:27Yeah, no, it's not ideal, but that's all we can do in it.
18:30Very, very disappointed not to have the pitch board completed.
18:33The fault lies with Sergeant and Michaela.
18:35I constantly reminded the team we're getting to near the end,
18:38we're getting near the end, and unfortunately time just escaped us.
18:447am.
18:46Hi, there. I'm Ebot.
18:48Today, half the team will pitch prototypes to two major retailers.
18:53Red is Rouge, white is Blanc, and black is Noir.
18:58The rest will sell toy robots to independent shops.
19:02Right, I just want to split the teams up.
19:04I am going to swap you, Elizabeth, with Joanna.
19:08Very well.
19:09One thing I will say is I know that there was potentially
19:12people undermining Sarah yesterday.
19:14I've said from the get-go that my decision and Sarah's decision
19:18is the last voice, OK?
19:20It was just, with the balancing robot,
19:22there may have been an issue around the fact that
19:24Elizabeth asked whether it could do more than it could actually do.
19:27It undermined the product, OK?
19:29You can't go into the pitch and say,
19:31hi, can it do that, or will it do that in the future?
19:34It didn't have a go at the product at all.
19:36Thank you. No, I don't think she...
19:38No, she did undermine it.
19:39We're going over this point too much anyway.
19:41No, I mean, you just said that you didn't even hear it,
19:43so how can you say you don't know whether it was undermined
19:45when you didn't hear the comment? I didn't say I didn't hear it.
19:47You just said that. No, listen to me. Do you feel like a speed?
19:49I did. No, speak then.
19:50I didn't say I didn't hear it, I said it...
19:52No. I didn't say I didn't hear it, I said it...
19:54No. I didn't say I didn't hear it,
19:56I said I didn't interpret it as a put-down.
19:59Thank you, Sarah.
20:00This is exactly the sort of thing that I don't want to be happening, OK?
20:03Downstairs, meeting Simon.
20:06Hello, I'm Geoffrey, and I'm your helping hand for life.
20:09Michaela and the boys.
20:11Can I just ask you, the Simples programme...
20:13Not really. It was done overnight, so we can't make any changes now,
20:16if that's what you're getting at.
20:18How did you lot get on yesterday? Did you get the board put together?
20:21And is there any chance we can have a look at that?
20:23Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we'll show you.
20:25We have encountered a few minor issues, but it's nothing that we can't...
20:30OK, cool.
20:32Just smile while I take this off.
20:34Just be happy.
20:40Simon?
20:41Simon, yeah.
20:42Interesting.
20:43I did not feel at all that Geoffrey...
20:46It just didn't look right written down.
20:48We say his name is Geoffrey, OK?
20:51But his family name is Simon.
20:53But it all falls under the family.
20:55You know what it says? You are helping hand for life.
20:59What? It says you are helping hand for life.
21:03I'm speechless. I actually have no idea what to say about it.
21:06I just want to bin it and throw it away on the way to the meeting.
21:09I can't take that in. They would not be taken seriously.
21:12One, they changed our name. Two, the board is useless.
21:16I think, given the last-minute changes, Andrew,
21:18I'm thinking of maybe swapping you into here and taking Elliot over there.
21:22You sat with us throughout the design process.
21:24I would come up with Simon, and then you can incorporate that into me.
21:27Yeah, I'll take control of that.
21:309am.
21:32While half of each team head off to sell toy robots...
21:36I'll do the demonstration and the robot while you take the pitch.
21:39You can learn from me and the robot,
21:41and then when I come to pitch the next one, you can do it.
21:43Sounds fantastic. But you can't box off me.
21:45..the rest will pitch their prototypes.
21:48Elliot, as the only mole from the other team,
21:51could you maybe let us know what happened?
21:53It was Michaela and Sargent who were with the designer.
21:55Effectively, they ran out of time.
21:57The typing of what Charles and I wrote
21:59started about, I think, two minutes before the deadline.
22:01Interesting.
22:04Oxford Street.
22:06First stop for project manager Jade,
22:09one of the UK's leading department stores.
22:15Good morning, and I just want to introduce to you E-Bot.
22:18If you would like to start with the demonstration, please, Bushra.
22:22Can you show us some special things that you can do?
22:25Let's begin with languages.
22:27Red is rouge and black is noir.
22:30That's probably just one of our skills.
22:32Don't worry, soon you can show off too.
22:34We've got some cool karate moves to teach you.
22:36So here he's doing some of our karate moves.
22:42Thank you, E-Bot. I'm sure we'll see you soon, my study buddy.
22:49So, moving on from that, you can programme him.
22:54So here's...
22:58Sorry, I've lost my train of thought.
23:00I think what Jade is trying to show you
23:03is the future capabilities of E-Bot.
23:05So if you want to add mathematics, you need to just pop it into the app
23:08and it will translate through to E-Bot.
23:10Also, the demographics, sorry, Bushra, to carry on.
23:12We're thinking six- to nine-year-old children as well, to learn and grow.
23:15That's such an important factor, isn't it?
23:17We were thinking about also just things like multiplication tables,
23:20so it's just bringing that element in as well.
23:22Just to bring it back to the future capabilities.
23:25And E-Bot is an investment, honestly, isn't it?
23:28Yes, it is. E-Bot is an investment.
23:30Especially with these future capabilities.
23:32So it really is an innovative product.
23:36I'm not really that clear on what the primary function
23:39or the primary reason for purchase is.
23:41What we're trying to do is combine the learning element
23:44and the fun element, something that they can play with.
23:47How many would you expect us to buy?
23:49For example, you took an order of 1,000,
23:51you could generate a £210,000 profit on that.
23:54Where did you come up with the number 1,000?
23:57We're just a nice round number.
24:02It certainly wasn't the slickest of pitches I've ever seen.
24:05The robot fell over, the interaction didn't work,
24:07they all interrupted each other,
24:09and that was really distracting, I think, for the retailers.
24:12If they get an order out of this, I'll be mightily surprised.
24:15Thank you. Thank you.
24:17On the other half of the team...
24:19Robo Savvy, Cyber Dog of Japan, Crockett.
24:21Yeah, I'll try Cyber Dog.
24:22..decide which retailer to target with their toy robot.
24:26Isn't the word Robo Savvy telling us
24:28it's something to do with robotics?
24:31OK, do you want to do Robo Savvy first, yeah?
24:34Let's give it a go.
24:35Yeah, but this wasn't my choice. You guys have pushed me into it.
24:38I'm happy to do that one if you want to take another one,
24:40because I don't want you to feel as if I backed you into a corner...
24:43Don't worry, we'll do it.
24:44Do you want to swap it with Joanna?
24:45Let's not talk about this.
24:46I'm happy to do the Robo one.
24:47We need to be decisive,
24:48because what we don't want is to get into a situation where...
24:50I'm not being indecisive.
24:51I'm enthusiastic about the Robo one,
24:52so if you think that would be better, go for it.
24:54What Joanna's saying is, do you want to keep Robo Savvy,
24:56or do you want her to do that and you do a different one?
24:58As I said, I'm doing it. You're going to do it? OK.
25:01All this just because I said Robo sounds like frigging robot.
25:05It's not funny for somebody to make a decision on your behalf
25:07and then laugh at you. I'm not laughing.
25:09Me? I'm laughing at the situation.
25:10She's laughing and she's laughing. I mean, it's not funny.
25:12I'm laughing at the situation,
25:13because all I've heard for the last ten minutes is...
25:15I've had enough. I'm sick of it.
25:17For Christ's sake, we're meant to be pulling together
25:19and focusing on the task. I've had enough of having, like,
25:21a drill going through my temples.
25:23That's why I'm laughing, because if I didn't laugh,
25:25I'd probably combust.
25:28Lunchtime.
25:30Next, through the department store doors...
25:33We've got a very unique product to show you.
25:35..Harrison's boys with Simon.
25:38What we wanted to do with Simon is incorporate the sense that,
25:42yes, he can help you keep healthy,
25:44but not only that, he can offer a companion
25:46to maybe the people who are more lonely.
25:48The over-60s is a growing market.
25:51So I'm actually going to hand you over to Ross.
25:53Yep, we have a little demonstration for you.
25:55Hello, I'm Geoffrey.
25:57And I'm your helping hand for life.
26:00There we go.
26:02We're going to see some fantastic yoga moves
26:04performed by Geoffrey just here, the downward dog.
26:06And now I believe Geoffrey's going to transition
26:09into a chair pose for us.
26:12What do you think, guys?
26:14Yeah, yeah, Geoff, very impressive.
26:17I'd like to talk to you today about my friend Alex's grandma, Doris.
26:20She's 80 years old, she lives alone,
26:23and one of the only people she ever sees is the Meals On Wheels driver.
26:27One of the greatest travesties in our society
26:30is that the elderly are often the most lonely.
26:33Simon steps in where society stops.
26:38OK, these are going to fly off the shelves.
26:40The trade price for this is £490.
26:43And as a 50% mark-up, that'll make that £735.
26:48That's kind of what we're recommending to go on the shelves
26:51and I think that will fit nicely in the market.
26:53So can I get this straight?
26:55You're pitching a £735 product
26:58with an unfinished board with grammatical errors.
27:01So the branding work is still undergoing, is still in development.
27:05It's either Simon, no, it's Geoffrey.
27:07This is very confusing.
27:09Yeah, just to be really, really clear with you,
27:11we named the prototype Geoffrey.
27:13All of its kind of technical stuff is referenced as Geoffrey.
27:16It refers to itself as Geoffrey.
27:18From then on, everything's Simon. OK?
27:21Is it possible we could maybe have a 90-second conversation
27:24about any numbers that you would consider trialling in the store?
27:27Probably not right now.
27:30It was an absolutely appalling performance.
27:33The team had to explain the difference
27:35between the prototype being Geoffrey
27:37and the iteration of the robot being called Simon.
27:39That caused tremendous confusion, not only in my mind,
27:42but, more importantly, in the minds of the retailer.
27:48We've tried to prepare the pitch,
27:50knowing what hideousness we have to present it in front of.
27:53It's just embarrassing. Right, sorry.
27:55Speaking of who... Speaking of thy...
27:57Hiya, it's Harrison McKellar. You all right?
27:59Hiya. Please tell me you're super happy.
28:01Erm...
28:03The first thing the guys we were pitching to said
28:06was that we've got a brand and the first word we can see
28:08is there's a grammatical error and they're like,
28:10I don't know how you can have a board in front of us that's half finished.
28:13Not only did the board cause all that issue at the beginning,
28:16but actually the whole Geoffrey to Simon thing
28:18caused a massive problem as well.
28:20They said they found it horribly confusing
28:22and they didn't understand what the difference was.
28:24Elliot has all this information about what we discussed on how to overcome these problems.
28:28Because of how badly they reacted to the board...
28:30We can't take that in. OK, all right, all right.
28:32Just go with what you think then, yeah?
28:34Just don't take the board in then and just explain it
28:36and just say, this is just a prototype, the branding isn't complete yet.
28:39Blah-blah-blah-blah.
28:40Cheers. Bye. Bye. Bye.
28:43Bye.
28:44What are you thinking, McKellar?
28:46Just... I just want to go home.
28:48East London.
28:50Let's make you a mathematical genius, shall we?
28:52For Jade's team...
28:543, 6, 9, 12.
28:56..last chance to sell in bulk to electronics giant Maplin.
29:00This device will help the family
29:03learn through experiences.
29:05We all know ourselves that you are a million times more likely
29:08to learn when you practise something.
29:11So on that basis of it being interactive,
29:13how will it sell itself in our stores?
29:16We can put it into demo. Yeah.
29:18So it can talk and it can do all this
29:20and really do the funkiness and the karate chopping and all that sort of thing.
29:23We need to have a chat.
29:25Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
29:27Thank you. Well done. Thank you.
29:34Mid-afternoon.
29:35Hi.
29:36Siobhan, nice to meet you.
29:38For Siobhan, pitch the toy bot to a leading robotics specialist.
29:43We also have Nuno here.
29:45He's our telepresence sales rep from Portugal.
29:48Thanks very much for meeting us. No problem. What do you have?
29:51Today we wanted to come and introduce to you a flying robot.
29:54This is more of a, you know, a retro kind of robot.
29:58As a business, we've tried to avoid this type of thing.
30:05In comparison to maybe some of the other products that you have,
30:08it may be a bit more, like, commercial,
30:10because there is that fun factor there.
30:12Nuno, your camera's on the internet.
30:20Yeah, no, we understand.
30:22No.
30:27Thank you for your time. No problem.
30:29Appreciate it. Thank you for coming by.
30:31Thank you. Thank you.
30:35A little bit of mortifying experience, as expected.
30:37I think you did well, though.
30:39Well, with no back-up. Thank you, though, for helping me.
30:41I think it was quite clear as soon as we got here and got in the room
30:43that we were in the absolute wrong place.
30:45We should have just wrapped it up and gone out, if I'm honest.
30:47Siobhan, you muttered in my ear the whole day.
30:49You don't like interruptions, you don't like this, you don't want this.
30:51You get your moment. I didn't mutter in your ear.
30:53You've been flustered the whole way. I expected to have a bit of help,
30:55and if it wasn't for you... So, did you need help?
30:57Did you feel like you were failing? No. Is that why?
30:59No, no. So, you needed help? Sorry, no, I don't.
31:01Let's not just try and... Let's try and take everybody down.
31:03No, Siobhan, you need no help being brought down.
31:05What did you say? Your behaviour is ridiculous.
31:07You just tried to go, OK, let's wrap it up.
31:09We've just walked out somewhere without a sale.
31:11Can we go to the next one? Yes. Please. Thank you.
31:14It's all gone off in the most horrific way.
31:16I mean, it's so unprofessional, it's wasted a lot of time,
31:19and quite frankly, the bad blood in this team is costing them.
31:23No, I will support you as I have everybody else today.
31:25Literally, like, if you're going to be all negative,
31:27I don't want to hear a thing.
31:31Central London.
31:33For Harrison's boys,
31:35pitchboard ditched.
31:37Across town...
31:3950 units at £43 a unit.
31:42..shifting the balancing robot in bulk...
31:44OK, yeah? Deal. ..Mikaela's half of the boys.
31:47We could possibly go down to £46 apiece.
31:50£45 and you've got a deal.
31:52£45, 50.
31:53£45.
31:5450?
31:55£45.
31:56All right, £45.
31:58You're going to be so pleased to know that we can do it
32:01at £30 a unit, plus one free.
32:03Excellent. Thank you. Thank you so much.
32:06Today is all about sales, and I've been impressed with this team.
32:09Mikaela has led very well from the front,
32:11she's allowed everyone to say something when it was appropriate,
32:14and I think as a team, they've gelled.
32:16We need to get back out there and we need to start selling more, OK?
32:19Let's go. Brilliant. Great energy. Come on, guys, let's go.
32:23Next stop for Harrison's team...
32:25Geoffrey is a personal assistant for the over-60s.
32:29..the electronics giant.
32:31How can you actually help me, Geoffrey,
32:33help my mum or dad live a little healthier?
32:35I can talk you through recipes.
32:37I think I'm forgetting something.
32:39It's the time of day you should be taking your medication.
32:42Oh, of course it is.
32:43I'll now hand you over to the humans.
32:46How big of a market do you think there is for this product?
32:49Most of the robots currently are probably aimed at maybe the kids' side.
32:53There's not really one that's aimed at the over-60s.
32:56Thank you very much. Thanks for coming along.
32:58Great. Thank you very much. Thanks very much. I appreciate it.
33:01All the best. I'll take this guy with me. See you.
33:066pm. Just one hour left to make sales.
33:10The options we've got, we'll head straight on to the West End,
33:13or it's whether we gamble on the Entertainer.
33:15We're not going to win anyway, I don't think,
33:17cos we haven't sold even half of them.
33:19If we go to the Entertainer and they buy 50 or 100 units, we can't win.
33:22Well, if they do, yeah, we can, potentially.
33:24Exactly. If. You can always do the negative.
33:26You can always do it. I'm not being negative. I'm a realist, though.
33:29You're doing my head in. This isn't about playing games, Al.
33:32No, it's not a games show. You're driving me nuts.
33:34Half a negative. So just zip it or be constructive.
33:37Don't talk to me like that. Don't talk to me like that.
33:40God, you're not talking to your child.
33:42Just don't give yourself enough credit to think,
33:44I think you're competition to me, because I really don't.
33:46I don't find you competition. OK, good.
33:48Well, then let's just be positive. Work together and win this task.
33:51Sorry, I just don't need them now. I'm sure you are, Siobhan.
33:53I am. I'm sure you're really engaging and people love you.
33:55Yeah, they do. I'm sure they do. Yeah, they do.
33:57I'm sure you're fantastic to work with, a real joy.
34:03Westfield Shopping Centre.
34:05We can do this, girls. Let's make this a game changer.
34:07One last chance to sell big.
34:10I can come in to £30 for you, but that's the absolute lowest we can go.
34:13Right, I'll give you £29.
34:15£30 and we're throwing two samples. Two samples, done.
34:17OK. Thank you. Done.
34:24Pitch is over.
34:25People can play with it, you can pick it up, you can put it down.
34:28The prototype teams hit the streets...
34:30Come on. Could we push you to, like, three?
34:33..to try and top up toy sales.
34:35This is basically the last appointment. This is it, this is it.
34:37We've got 17 minutes to get in there, bosh, bang.
34:40Done. Putting her on.
34:43Oh, sorry, Karen. Oh, oh, oh.
34:45Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
34:47This is actually really, really cool. You like it? I do, I do.
34:50Where is it? Where are we going?
34:53£40.50? That's a deal, then.
34:56Brilliant.
34:57It's literally right here, guys.
34:59Oh, man, it's seven o'clock. We've missed it.
35:01We've missed it. It's seven.
35:03Seven o'clock.
35:05Trading over.
35:07Hopefully, we've beat those boys tomorrow
35:09and Michaela in the boardroom.
35:11If we lose the task tomorrow on the basis of toy sales,
35:14then I would definitely be putting the blame at Siobhan's door.
35:17I really don't think she's contributed anything of value
35:19and, therefore, she's got to go.
35:22I'm not worried about myself in the boardroom.
35:24I've contributed a lot to this task.
35:26When it came to ditching the boards,
35:28we finally got rid of it in the second pitch.
35:30So we'll just have to see if that's going to be a key factor
35:33in winning or losing this task.
35:35Tonight, sales will be totted up.
35:38Tomorrow, in the boardroom, a breakdown.
35:50You can go to the boardroom now.
36:01Good morning.
36:02Good morning, Lord Sugar.
36:04So, this task was all about robots.
36:08Michaela, I thought it was a good idea to put you in this team
36:12and to give them a bit of a reboot, if you like.
36:15And in computing terms,
36:17everything is controlled by a motherboard, yeah?
36:22So there you are.
36:24Let's talk about the market.
36:26The target market was the over-60s,
36:28so we went down the road of yoga,
36:30so for exercise, recipe aid and as a medication reminder.
36:34Do you think us oldies need a bit of assistance?
36:37No.
36:38I mean, you know, just for your information,
36:40we don't stick our stampers on an email.
36:42No, no, no.
36:43Or put our CDs into a toaster.
36:45We're a little bit more advanced than that.
36:47No, no, of course.
36:48Yeah, so we came up with a name, Jeffrey, with a double I.
36:51Jeffrey?
36:52Yeah.
36:53We lost to Jeffrey last week, didn't we?
36:55Yeah, we did.
36:56I hope this thing dances better than him.
36:58Yeah, it actually does.
37:00All right, so what's that, Simon?
37:04So we came up with the name Jeffrey
37:06and the strap line, Your Helping Hand For Life,
37:09and that was passed over to the toy team
37:13and then the next day that's kind of what was decided by that side.
37:17But in other words, you rejected the name Jeffrey?
37:20Yeah, we changed it.
37:21You changed it, but you didn't tell them?
37:23No, so we programmed them to say so then.
37:25You programmed Jeffrey into the machine?
37:27Say, hello, my name's Jeffrey.
37:28Hello, my name's Jeffrey,
37:29and you're standing in front of the punters with that thing there?
37:32It was hard to go into the pitch with...
37:35Who did the pitching on the first one?
37:37So me and Elliot changed the morning of the second day.
37:39Oh, you changed over?
37:40Yeah.
37:41So I wanted Elliot to move over there and...
37:43As a barrister, you wanted him to get him out of the ship
37:46by talking about waffling.
37:47Yeah, yeah.
37:49It's got to be a bleeding good barrister to do that.
37:51No, so the only thing I could suggest in that meeting
37:53was that Jeffrey was the surname,
37:55so effectively it would be Simon Jeffrey.
37:57Tell you what, retailers are not stupid.
37:59They understand that things change,
38:01and you could have just said,
38:02look, sorry, there was a misunderstanding between the team, end of.
38:06OK, let's get on to the toy selling team.
38:10You successfully got this toy here.
38:12This is the best one, it seemed good value for money.
38:15Yeah.
38:16We all agreed that this was going to be the easiest one for us to sell.
38:20So you sold out, then, basically.
38:21Sold out.
38:22You sold out your toys.
38:23All gone.
38:24All right, let's move on now.
38:26Jade, you became project manager.
38:28How did that come about?
38:29I feel that I am very hands-on
38:32when it comes to getting involved with branding,
38:34and I thought that this was the right task for me to take on.
38:37We all unanimously agreed that kids was the best category to go for,
38:41didn't we? Yeah.
38:42What we wanted Ebot to do was languages and mathematical skills.
38:45To kind of interact and grow with the child.
38:48All right. Who did the pitch to the retailer?
38:51I decided that Bushra would do the interactions with Ebot
38:56and I would lead the pitch.
38:58Didn't quite work out, though, did it?
39:00Not only was the robot talking over you,
39:02but you were really all talking over each other, weren't you?
39:05Yes, it was disappointing,
39:07but I do think that we managed to show his functionality.
39:10I thought I heard it fell over.
39:12He did fall over, but we still showed...
39:14Remind me of my Uncle Sid when he gets pissed at a wedding.
39:17I don't know who taught it to dance, was it Ed Balls?
39:21I do think that we gave as good a pitch as we possibly could.
39:26Let's get on to the toy selling team.
39:29You lost out to the chaps. Yes, we did.
39:33I heard that you come up against traders who are quite sharp,
39:37and one of the ones you went into took one look at that straightaway
39:40and said, don't waste your time, love.
39:42Yes. I think that then resulted in you, Siobhan,
39:45having a big row about that.
39:47It was coming all day, really, to be honest with you,
39:49and then it just kind of turned...
39:51Siobhan actually said it's because we didn't speak.
39:54No, I said it would have been...
39:56Siobhan, please, please, please, I can't have this again.
39:58She actually said it was Sarah and I's fault that she didn't make a sale.
40:01No, because we all agreed before on all the other pitches
40:03that would come in and obviously help where we can, which we did.
40:06And then just on my pitch, only Joanna came in to help.
40:09What would we get out of sabotaging you?
40:11I don't know, but it became very derogatory and personal.
40:13How? How did that happen?
40:15Well, when my business started, people started to then say that,
40:18you know, you're no challenge for me.
40:20No, no, no, we didn't.
40:22Being derogatory about my business.
40:24I've got to tell you, you wasted so much time,
40:26it was so unprofessional, and you really should have known better.
40:30You've got to sort yourself out, you ladies, you really do.
40:34OK, we need to get down to the numbers.
40:38Claude, tell me about the toy sales.
40:41Well, Vitality's toy sales amounted to £5,785.60.
40:48Karen, the same thing?
40:50Well, they only sold 47 toys,
40:52so that only generated £1,477.55.
40:57Can you tell me about the sales they did on the prototype robot?
41:01The department store said they'd have a little trial
41:03and they said they'd take 15.
41:05Really? Yep.
41:07And the electronics store, they made an order of 100, which...
41:12Yes! Sorry. Sorry, little sugar.
41:15..which gave Graphene a total of £57,827.55.
41:22Very good. Claude, same question about your team.
41:26Well, the situation was not very good with the department store
41:30and consequently gave no orders.
41:34And the electronics store didn't like your pitch either,
41:39so the total value of your sales was £5,785.60.
41:46Well, you seem to have pulled it off, ladies.
41:49You've spent a lot of time in this task fighting with each other,
41:53so for your treat, I've arranged for you to take control
41:56of your own fighting robots
41:58so you can sort your differences out once and for all
42:02in your zone.
42:03So, well done, and I'll see you on the next task.
42:06Thank you, little sugar. Thank you.
42:11Smashed it.
42:14We need to stop fighting. Stop fighting, come on.
42:17It's hard living business without competition.
42:20Well, I mean, that was a thrashing, really, wasn't it?
42:23I'd like you to go away and have a chat amongst yourselves.
42:27I'll see you back in this boardroom later.
42:29At least one of you is going to be fired. Off you go.
42:43Hi! Hi there.
42:44We've got two of the UK's most powerful robots here
42:47that you're going to have a go at battling with.
42:49Three, two, one, activate!
42:55Absolutely bossed it.
42:57£57,000 worth of sales. I'm absolutely thrilled.
43:01Ooh, you're scaring me. Who's that driving?
43:03Siobhan. Shit, man.
43:05We might be fighting and stuff, but I think it is driving us.
43:08We're all really competitive women and we all want to win,
43:11so we're just, like, at it.
43:13Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
43:15I feel ecstatic.
43:17And with such a huge profit,
43:20I literally can't even describe how amazing it feels.
43:24I've forgotten what it feels like to lose.
43:31When you guys made the call to us with the name Geoffrey,
43:34we felt it wasn't right.
43:36You changed it from one name to another name.
43:38There was no need for that.
43:39I think Harrison was the weakest link in this task.
43:41He was quite indecisive at various points throughout the day
43:44and I didn't feel he was sub-team leader quality.
43:46Did you explain, OK, so this is our thought process?
43:49With the way that Harrison structured the pitch,
43:52it was Ross on the technical side that dealt with that question.
43:55Do you all feel the same?
43:56It just seems as soon as you came over,
43:58it was almost as if you weren't there the day before.
44:00I think that's a bit harsh.
44:01I think the person to blame is Elliot.
44:03If it goes right, he'll say, you pitched in,
44:05and if it goes wrong, he'll say, I did raise the point.
44:07If you're sitting on the fence constantly,
44:09nothing's ever going to get done.
44:10The main reason that pitch ball was not complete was due to time.
44:13You were sitting on the right of me and Michaela.
44:15A number of times I saw Michaela get this logo finished
44:18and she kept tweaking things.
44:19I'm nowhere near ready to leave.
44:21I'm a strong businesswoman, I know what I'm doing.
44:23I'm just going to have to breeze past my negatives
44:26and point out everybody else's.
44:38Yes, can you send the team in, please?
44:52Well, the thing that occurs to me immediately is,
44:57you went to the over-60s,
44:59and what you chose, yoga, recipes, medication,
45:04they didn't think was very good at all.
45:06In terms of the functionality of the product,
45:08it can demonstrate about 12 skills at the moment.
45:10You looked at those skills and thought,
45:12what's applicable to an over-60?
45:13I'll tell you, excuse me, batting in there,
45:15what's applicable to an over-60?
45:17Bear in mind, me ain't got one foot in the grave.
45:19I'd like to say to Geoffrey,
45:21go and look up on Google, Villas in Spain.
45:24And it has the capability of doing that, doesn't it?
45:27We did actually stress in our pitches that it wasn't just
45:29for the incapable over-60s,
45:31we acknowledge that it's a very broad and diverse...
45:33Otherwise you would have said something like,
45:35can I put on my incontinence pants?
45:37Yeah.
45:38Who decided to trash the name Geoffrey?
45:42It was myself, Charles, Michaela and Elliot.
45:46None of us thought actually that name was OK.
45:48I think we all went for a new name.
45:50And you went ahead and you produced that bloody thing there,
45:52which, by the way, has got spelling mistakes in it.
45:55The only time the your is used is when I say you're fired.
45:58I mean, I can't even read it from here.
46:00Oh, you're lucky. Yeah.
46:02I mean...
46:03Lord sugar, I think no-one is proud of that board
46:06and it was a... It's a disgrace.
46:09You did it, didn't you?
46:11So Michaela, when we sat down to design,
46:14separated herself with Sargent...
46:16It was a collective team effort, Elliot.
46:18Well, excuse me, with the designer.
46:20Sargent says he's a creative and he designed the logo,
46:24the colours.
46:25He came up with the name Simon as well.
46:27And the amount of time that Sargent and Michaela were spending
46:30with the designer designing the actual...
46:32That's ridiculous, Elliot, because...
46:34I'm just explaining what happened.
46:35No, you're not explaining what happened.
46:36Properly, though, Elliot,
46:37what you're doing is putting your little spin on it,
46:39so if you want to explain it properly,
46:40then own exactly what you did.
46:41We changed the name, we've come up with a new design
46:44and then me and Sargent cracked on with doing the logo
46:46and Charles and Elliot was writing down the key points
46:49of what was going to go on the board.
46:51The fact was the logo was actually finalised by Michaela
46:54about 35 seconds before the deadline,
46:56so this text was just flowing on.
46:58So you brought all that text in in 35 seconds?
47:00It wasn't particularly long.
47:01Charles, turn it in me.
47:02It was eight minutes remaining, at which point I was like,
47:04OK, we need to...
47:05It was eight minutes remaining, how did we end up with that?
47:07You were sat to the designer and you didn't spot
47:09that the colour was wrong or that the spelling mistake was there.
47:11What are you talking about, Charles? You read it out.
47:13I said check for spelling errors.
47:15So the only thing I could see is if you're saying it was just
47:17Michaela and Sargent, what have you two done?
47:19We wrote it all out on a piece of paper, everything was exactly...
47:21Did you give that piece of paper to the guy?
47:23We gave the piece of paper to Michaela.
47:24He was reading it out off the paper.
47:26We gave the piece of paper to Michaela and then read it out.
47:29If I did, I would say, but that's not what happened.
47:31I don't think you would say that, would you, Elliot?
47:33I absolutely would say.
47:34I'm telling you that you read that to the designer.
47:36You don't have to tell me anything.
47:37I'm telling you what happened.
47:38You don't have to tell me anything.
47:39Elliot, seriously, you're just sitting on the fence of everything.
47:42What have you done then?
47:43What have I done?
47:44I'm the one that's responsible for the £5,000 of toys.
47:47You're not responsible for that.
47:49How are you responsible? Did you sell out?
47:51I didn't sell it, but I was the one who specifically said that
47:54that was the best product to choose on that day.
47:56Elliot, you're not responsible for that.
47:58Neither you or Sargent chose that product.
48:00Harrison, if I was to programme into a computer,
48:05this is what the task is all about,
48:07tell me who should be responsible?
48:10And they would say, well, the sub-team leader.
48:12I don't think I can in any way come down for the failure of this task.
48:15You didn't do anything? You didn't sell anything?
48:17No.
48:18We didn't have a great start giving a board like that.
48:20You keep going on to the board. The board can make a point.
48:23The point is, as Lord Sugar alluded to earlier,
48:25the actual programming things that went into that...
48:27OK, fantastic. So can I ask what your contribution was?
48:29I've already said this previously.
48:33Michaela, we've got to bring this matter to an end now.
48:37Who are you bringing back into this boardroom?
48:41Elliot and Harrison.
48:43Elliot and Harrison. All right.
48:46The rest of you, this is a bloody shambles, you lot.
48:49This is the third task and the third task you've lost.
48:53I'm not impressed at all with any of you, to be honest with you.
48:58Go back to the house.
49:00Thank you, Lord Sugar.
49:02You've got to up your game.
49:11Right, I'm going to have a discussion with Claude and with Karen.
49:16I'd like you to step outside and we'll call you back in shortly, OK?
49:26Elliot, I don't know whether he's been playing it
49:29a little bit slippery in this past three weeks.
49:32It's strange for a barrister not to actually have much more charisma.
49:35He's been pretty weak throughout.
49:37Harrison, he just convinces himself and tries to convince us
49:41that he worked so hard and he'd done everything that he was supposed to do.
49:45That product didn't sell because it was a mishmash of functions.
49:49Yoga, recipes, medication.
49:51I mean, anyone with a brain would see those things don't fit together.
49:55Michaela, the biggest point about her is that
49:58why didn't she recognise where the money is?
50:00That's a crucial point and I think she made a big mistake,
50:03but she did make some very, very good sales in the era that she was.
50:07PHONE RINGS
50:09Yes, Lord Sugar? Can you send the three of them in, please?
50:12Yes, Lord Sugar. Thank you.
50:14You can go to the boardroom now.
50:26Well, this task is about robots
50:29and I just want to make it perfectly clear that I'm the Terminator
50:34and I can promise you that one of you will not be coming back.
50:39Michaela, my biggest criticism of you in this task
50:43is that this was about turnover
50:45and why is it you didn't spot that in the beginning?
50:48Yeah, I mean, obviously, I looked at this at the beginning
50:52and chose the best people for the pitch.
50:54You know, I thought they would be able to go in and win it
50:57better than I would be able to go and do it.
50:59Why would you put yourself down like that?
51:01You're obviously a good salesperson.
51:03Yeah, I'm not super confident.
51:06That's an admission to make to me,
51:08who wants to invest £250,000.
51:10It doesn't mean I'm a bad at business, that I'm not confident,
51:13it's just... To survive in this process,
51:15don't get intimidated by this boardroom.
51:17Because, let me put it this way,
51:19if you're going to be my business partner, this is it.
51:22This is what you get. This is me.
51:24The job that I was supposed to do, I did the job, I did it well.
51:27There was just a couple of decisions along the way
51:30that took us off peace.
51:32Now, Harrison, you say that one of your greatest strengths
51:35is that you're able to get on with everyone.
51:37Yep. And you're willing to graft. Definitely.
51:39I mean, I know you talk about working hard.
51:41Lord sugar, I definitely did not step back from this task.
51:44Like Michaela said, she put me in this to take control
51:47and I do think we work well.
51:49You didn't sell any, though, did you? No.
51:51No, we didn't sell any, but, I mean,
51:53it's not ideal to go into a pitch with that.
51:55Are you blaming that as the reason you didn't sell?
51:58That's a big reason. Surely the programming.
52:01Surely the programming of that.
52:03On the first pitch, the first thing that they addressed
52:06was kind of the grammatical error of our strap line.
52:09Yeah, I mean, if we had a board like the girls,
52:12I'm sure things would have been a lot different.
52:14Come off it, please.
52:15Do I look like I've come from the planet Mars?
52:17It's got nothing to do with the board.
52:19Elliot, I'm a great believer in that saying,
52:21no smoke without fire.
52:23And all these other candidates here seem to keep asking,
52:26what do you actually do?
52:28So can you run through what you've actually done?
52:30I believe I was instrumental in the selection of that project.
52:34You didn't choose that product.
52:36Are you...? Was you in a different task?
52:39You said you wanted the expensive Lego one.
52:41Are you mental? Elliot, honestly, you just live on another planet.
52:45This is incredible, really.
52:47You're saying you was involved, she's saying you weren't.
52:49I can't... I wouldn't be in this process
52:51if I wasn't telling the truth about things.
52:53If I've done something wrong, I'll say it.
52:55Elliot, you're saying I wanted a different product.
52:57You did. Charles and I were the only two, from my recollection,
53:00that chose that as our number one product.
53:02Well, you're wrong. From your recollection, you are wrong.
53:04If I may finish... Stop talking rubbish, now.
53:08Sergeant should be sitting in here.
53:10He was responsible, along with you, for that board.
53:12Well, you were sat doing nothing. I wasn't doing nothing.
53:14Well, you were sat doing nothing. I wasn't doing nothing.
53:16The finger is always pointed at somebody else, Elliot. It's not.
53:18I have admitted my part in this board.
53:20Why can't you admit that you have ever done anything?
53:23Let's take the pitching, for example.
53:25Elliot, you spoke about your mate's grandma.
53:28That's not going to make a £50,000 sale. That's all you did.
53:31What I was doing was actually bringing a personal element
53:34as to how this technology can actually help people.
53:36You spoke about your mate's grandma. That's what you've done, yeah?
53:38OK, I'm going to summarise this.
53:42Michaela, I believe that there were some fatal errors made here.
53:46The first one was that you didn't follow the money.
53:49And that, for a potential business partner, is, you know,
53:52suicide, as far as I'm concerned.
53:55Harrison, if this was down to a logical thinking computer,
53:59they would say you were responsible
54:01because we didn't get any orders for the big-ticket item.
54:04I don't want to hear any more from anybody now.
54:08And Elliot, you may be very articulate,
54:11you may be very skilled in being able to talk as a barrister,
54:15but I think sometimes people come into this process
54:18thinking that what they'll do is they'll just sit back
54:21and let everybody else fall on their sword.
54:23I don't want to hear from you.
54:26But having said all that, Michaela, the name, be it any good or not,
54:30Geoffrey, was buried in the software and you shouldn't touch it
54:34because that then had the knock-on effect
54:36of embarrassment in front of the retailers.
54:40Those were big decisions that you made,
54:42and for that reason, you know, I'm struggling.
54:48But, Elliot, I think that your demeanour, your manner
54:52is just not up my alley.
54:55You're not cut out to be my business partner.
54:59Elliot, you're fired.
55:10Michaela, you need to speak up a little bit more to me
55:13and you need to follow the money.
55:17Both of you go back to the house.
55:40I do think Lord Sugar made a mistake in firing me.
55:42I like to think I'm a salesman, I'm a negotiator,
55:45I'm a natural-born leader, and I feel if Lord Sugar
55:47would have kept me in the process, he would have seen more
55:49of what I had to offer.
55:51I think Michaela will come back, I think Harrison will come back,
55:54I think it might just be Elliot.
55:55I'm not sure. I think he's got a good fighting chance, Elliot.
55:58We never know.
56:00CHEERING
56:03Come on, mate!
56:04Wait, who else is there?
56:06CHEERING
56:09Oh, my God!
56:14What happened?
56:15Hands down the worst experience of my life, and I've given birth.
56:18It was hell.
56:19It was just traumatic, wasn't it?
56:21Why?
56:22Lord Sugar was like, oh, you need to start speaking up to me.
56:25Didn't get slated?
56:26No, he did go in, he said he didn't think I was a very good
56:29sub-team leader because we didn't get any sales.
56:32What was the reason for Elliot's firing?
56:34He's not done anything to that extent.
56:37He's not done anything, so that's why he's not here,
56:39because although I made some questionable decisions,
56:41at least I've made a decision.
56:43Yeah, agreed on that.
56:48Now, 15 candidates remain.
56:51Lord Sugar's search for his next business partner...
