00:00This is not a holiday camp, this is a business proposition from heaven.
00:09Lord Sugar is searching for a brand new business partner.
00:13We've got Brexit, but in this process I'm the one who decides who's going to remain and who's going to leave.
00:20Competing for his cash. Millionaire moguls in the making.
00:27I'm not impressed at all. It was boring, boring, boring. There was no bloody strategy.
00:33Go, go, go!
00:34It's a prize worth fighting for.
00:36One sec, one sec, one sec, one sec.
00:38How can you say you don't know whether it was undermined when you didn't hear the comments?
00:41It is a bit of an insult. I'm not insulting anyone.
00:4318 candidates.
00:45Are you putting any input or are you just trying to stray away from actually making a decision yourself?
00:4912 tough tasks.
00:51Are we going to win this? Or?
00:53One life-changing investment.
00:56You're fired. You're fired.
00:58You didn't follow the money. You're fired.
01:08Previously.
01:09For this task I'd like you to lay on a VIP hospitality box.
01:14FA Cup corporate clients.
01:16I don't do football events, but I do weddings.
01:18Siobhan led the girls.
01:20You're meant to be doing the calculations.
01:21This is ridiculous.
01:22But team tensions.
01:23We should keep the teams as they are.
01:25Do you want to swap?
01:26What do you think?
01:27Sparked a player revolt.
01:29Stop eating the product.
01:30Don't start.
01:31Are you girls all right?
01:32No, we'd actually like to sell.
01:34For the boys.
01:35Are we going to win this?
01:36Yes.
01:37Yes.
01:38Yeah.
01:39Captain Andrew cut culinary corners.
01:41We've ordered seven portions.
01:42But you've got 14 people.
01:43Yeah.
01:44Are you going to cut them in half?
01:45And supplied second division entertainment.
01:48Now the end is near.
01:51Yeah.
01:52But in the boardroom.
01:53631,56.
01:54Well, that's your first win.
01:57The boys triumphed.
01:59Ladies, your first loss.
02:01For the losing team, the arguments continued.
02:04You put me into a corner.
02:06Oh, really?
02:07Joanna was given a final warning.
02:09You keep blaming everybody.
02:11You're going to be the project manager of the next task.
02:14Elizabeth was caught offside.
02:16You should have said, look, I need some costs.
02:18But in the end.
02:19This is your area of expertise.
02:21It was Siobhan.
02:22A crime as far as I'm concerned.
02:24Who became the fourth casualty of the boardroom.
02:27Siobhan, you're fired.
02:29Now 14 remain to fight for the chance to become Lord Sugar's business partner.
02:435am.
02:44Lord Sugar would like you to meet him at Norfolk Primary School.
02:49The cars will be outside in 20 minutes.
02:52Guys.
02:5320 minutes.
02:54Norfolk Primary School.
02:55Primary School?
02:56Children's entertainment, maybe?
02:57Oh, I hope not.
02:58Hopefully we won't have as many arguments now.
02:59Yeah.
03:00We've got to have a boy on our side.
03:01We need at least one to two boys to break up all the arguments.
03:05And to just get us on track.
03:06I think that would really help.
03:07All right.
03:08All right.
03:09All right.
03:10Mike!
03:11Do you guys reckon we can win again then?
03:15to just get us on track.
03:16I think that would really help.
03:17I'm like, fuck.
03:30Did you guys reckon we can win again then?
03:32Yeah, 100%.
03:33If they don't change the teams, we'll definitely win.
03:35Personally, I've had enough of you guys for four tasks,
03:38so I'm hoping they pick me to move across.
03:40I could just imagine you arguing with Lizzie and Joanna
03:43and Sarah-J. Yeah, James would just argue with everyone.
03:46Yes, you would, man. Why would I argue with everyone?
03:48Because I think you would.
03:49I'd be subtly controlling.
03:51Yeah, no, that's why you'd end up arguing with them.
03:53You can't control them. They're like wild animals.
03:57In the previous tasks, people have had their own disagreements.
04:00I've got a lot to be thinking about, like the sub-team.
04:03Yeah, but when other people have been PMs,
04:04they've had loads to think about and you've still chosen
04:07to interrupt them and make their life a little bit more difficult.
04:10And who was that? Pretty much everybody.
04:12Did I argue with you when you were PM?
04:14I'm not getting an argument. Well, I didn't.
04:16Well, don't make that statement.
04:18I don't want to bicker this time, but I'm just...
04:19Well, don't make statements like that, James.
04:21No, but you can say it how it is, so I've just done that,
04:23and that's hard. OK, well, it was incorrect information.
04:25I don't want to bicker this time.
04:26EAST LONDON, NORTHWALD PRIMARY SCHOOL...
04:31PROUD EDUCATORS OF A WORLD CHAMPION BOXER,
04:37a rock-and-roll legend, and a lord.
04:52Good morning. Good morning, Lord Sugar.
04:55Now, this was my primary school,
04:58and the last time I was here was 59 years ago,
05:03because this year I celebrated my 70th birthday,
05:08and your task today is all about acquiring nine items
05:14which mark some of the milestones of my life and career.
05:19Now, if you want to be my business partner,
05:21I expect you to be good at logistics and business negotiation,
05:26but most importantly, you need to use your initiative.
05:30Joanna, in the last boardroom,
05:33I said you are going to be project manager.
05:35Well, you are going to be project manager, OK?
05:38To balance the teams up, James, go and join Graphene.
05:46The team that has spent the least amount of money will win,
05:49and the team that loses at least one of you will be fired.
05:53I want you to be back at the House of Lords
05:56when Big Ben strikes seven o'clock.
05:59Off you go, and I'll see you back in the boardroom tomorrow.
06:04One day, to find nine items...
06:07Tottenham Hotspur scarf.
06:08Seventieth birthday cake.
06:10..and buy at rock-bottom prices.
06:12An item made in 1947.
06:14I'm guessing Lord Sugar was born in 1947.
06:17First thing to find...
06:19I'm from London, so I'd like to put myself up
06:21as the project manager for this task.
06:23..a leader.
06:24I'd also like to throw my hat in the ring.
06:26Whilst I'm not offer of London,
06:27I think the key to this task is the negotiation.
06:30That's what I do every single day.
06:31Well, I worked with Sergeant on that last task.
06:33I thought you was that good sort.
06:35Personally, I'm erring on the side of Sergeant.
06:37Yeah, I'm happy with Sergeant.
06:39Yeah? Yeah.
06:40OK, good.
06:41So I'll be project manager.
06:42Harrison, I'd like you to be the sub-team leader.
06:44Andrew, you'll be joining.
06:46Sarah and Harrison.
06:47Charles, you'll be coming to my team
06:48because I do know you're strong in your negotiation.
06:51I put myself forward and the team collectively chose Sergeant
06:55based on being born and bred London.
06:57Now, that isn't a business skill.
06:59And I think as the day goes on,
07:00we'll get a better gauge as to whether or not
07:02he really is the real deal in terms of leadership.
07:04Placed in charge of Team Graphene...
07:07I will have the overview of the main strategy.
07:09..digital marketing manager, Joanna.
07:12Obviously, I'm not from around London,
07:14so that's not my strong point.
07:16But I do think that we should have someone on each team
07:18who knows London well.
07:20Erm, I then think we should set a map route
07:22and then distribute...
07:24Sorry, can I just... In terms of this meeting,
07:25I just really need to keep time, so...
07:27Yeah.
07:28I'd like to move on then to the team split.
07:30Could we have the bricks and mortar on our team?
07:32Sorry, we just need to prioritise to start off with.
07:34Obviously, we do need somebody who knows London
07:36and can gauge how far locations are.
07:39I am from London.
07:40Bushra, I'd like you to be my sub-team leader.
07:42Yeah, that's right.
07:43And on your team, I would like Jade and Elizabeth,
07:46and then the rest of us will be on my team.
07:49Perfect.
07:50Elizabeth and Jade are used to undermining
07:52and loving to hear their own voice,
07:54so Bushra will be able to just kind of keep a lid on it.
07:57There's enough stress on this task.
08:00Erm, I don't need any more
08:02in terms of conflict of personalities.
08:04Both teams have business directories
08:06and a list of nine items.
08:08Bricks and mortar.
08:10Specification, 100 bricks.
08:11Including a retro car aerial.
08:14Isn't that the first thing Lord Sugar sold?
08:15A monogrammed handkerchief.
08:17Several rows where they do sort of special things like that.
08:20And material fit for a Lord's robes.
08:22Garlic dough skin.
08:24A what?
08:25Would it be a fabric or a material place or...?
08:27It's got to connect to Lord Sugar.
08:29Has it got any connections to that?
08:30I don't know.
08:31Is that like dough, a deer?
08:32Dough, a deer, a female deer?
08:34I have a feeling.
08:36A dough skin's a jacket of some sort.
08:38Yeah, it sounds like.
08:39Yeah, does anyone have any idea what a rouge lac is?
08:43Specification, 70.
08:45No.
08:46Any ideas at all?
08:48Rugelach's a Jewish food.
08:52It's a sweet bread.
08:53You'd find that in Golders Green Area or Stamford Hill or one of those.
08:57The next item is an Amstrad computer.
09:00The Amstrad computer is not a current model, so it's something that's more antique and collectible.
09:05So it could be quite an expensive item.
09:08On the sub team, we've got the handkerchief, we've got the 1947 item, we've got the scarlet dough skin and I've also given you the brick and mortar.
09:17Items divided...
09:18Good luck, everybody.
09:19...for Joanna's team, a speedy departure.
09:23They spent an hour discussing the task.
09:25I'm not really quite sure what they achieved, though, because they've randomly split the items.
09:29They still don't know what two of them are and have no real idea of where they're going.
09:35Postcode wise, babe, we should try doing some that are in East first.
09:39OK, but...
09:40But I think we should maybe head there first.
09:42But the thing is, if there's something that's in E right now, like a bakery or something like that, very simple, we might as well get it.
09:49The bricks and mortar thing.
09:50I think that's possibly because Lord Sugar's got a massive property portfolio.
09:54There's a building consultation company there with an office.
09:56We could possibly go in there and ask the question.
09:58Can you physically see any stock in that?
10:00If there's no stock, do not even bother, because you need to physically see a big yard that has bricks and stuff in it.
10:05OK.
10:08Still at the school.
10:09I want the sub-team to cover West London and then come into the city.
10:14Sargent prioritises a route.
10:16What we want to do is cover North and come into the city and we'll probably find cheaper value for products from the outside going in.
10:22Sargent did make it quite clear about both teams going to the outskirts of London where items are cheaper.
10:28But they've only got one day and this is a massive city.
10:30So it'll be interesting to see how he manages.
10:32Harrison's team will be going to get the Amstrad computer, the item made in 1947.
10:38The bricks and the car aerial.
10:40Would it be quick as a group into themes?
10:42Like, it might be two or three key themes.
10:43We can say, oh, this is typically in the east, this is typically in west.
10:46I want to cover the outsides and go into the city.
10:48I'd like to keep Ross on my team because of the analytical skills.
10:51Let's get this done.
10:52I don't know London at all. I've never lived here.
10:54So driving around collecting stuff I know nothing about in the city I know nothing about isn't something I was looking forward to.
11:01For any items not bought, a fine.
11:04Where were we saying you want to start in west?
11:06Yeah, so we're going to start west definitely.
11:08The higher the value, the larger the fine.
11:11We're going to agree on where we try and get this 1947 item first.
11:14A stamp, that would be a good idea.
11:16Hi there.
11:17Do you happen to have any stamps from 1947?
11:20Yes, we do.
11:21Fantastic.
11:22We're going to give our driver the postcode now.
11:23We'll get to you as soon as we can.
11:25On the other half of Team Vitality...
11:28Shall we go pick up this rugler in front of the cake?
11:31We've got five places all of which are fairly central.
11:33Looking for Jewish bakeries.
11:35Ross.
11:36Is EC1 anywhere near E14?
11:38I don't really know London very well as far.
11:40You need to take a step back here because we're just doing a lot of driving about.
11:43Guys, I need to interrupt you real quick.
11:45Right there, two stores away from us.
11:46Is it worth us popping in there?
11:47Yes, can we?
11:48Driver, can we just stop here please?
11:53The supermarket is clearly not a Jewish kosher supermarket.
11:56It's a Turkish supermarket.
11:58Hello there, I'm Charles.
11:59We're after a rugelach, which is a Jewish food.
12:02Do you do any Jewish food in this store?
12:04No, unfortunately we haven't got any of them.
12:06They're going around like headless chickens.
12:08Charles is Jewish.
12:10He must know that you're not going to get Jewish pastries in a Turkish supermarket.
12:13This has been a complete and colossal waste of precious time.
12:17OK guys, we need to go to Hampstead.
12:19It is quite a Jewish area.
12:20We need to go to a baker because a supermarket is not specialist enough to sell rugelach.
12:25Also with rugelach top of their list...
12:28I wanted to check Jewish shops, verify whether this ruzelac is Jewish.
12:32But still driving with no destination...
12:34Is Lord Sugar even Jewish?
12:37Yeah.
12:38Yeah, he's...
12:39Is he?
12:40OK.
12:41Joanna's team.
12:42What is it that your shop specialises in?
12:45Jewish books.
12:46I'm looking for ruzelac.
12:48We were just kind of presuming that it may have something to do with the Jewish heritage.
12:52Maybe rugelach?
12:53Rugelach, yes.
12:54Yes.
12:55That's a pipe of cake.
12:56Oh!
12:57Sorry.
12:58My whole team is excited to find out what it is.
12:59Thank you so much.
13:00Thank you so much.
13:01Thank you so much.
13:02Thank you so much.
13:03We're heading to the bakery now.
13:04In terms of negotiation, I'll be leading it and I'll be closing it.
13:18So like no jumping in or anything like that.
13:20Sure.
13:21So we just need to make sure that everybody does that.
13:25For 70 year old Lord Sugar, 70 rugelach.
13:29How much do you usually sell your rugelach?
13:3135 pence a piece.
13:32We're actually looking for about 70.
13:34Because we're going at such a high volume, would we be able to do it at around 25 pence?
13:40Probably the lowest we probably would go is 27.
13:43About 26.
13:44Fine.
13:45There was only one other thing that we needed.
13:46Just a birthday cake.
13:47I've got a Dutch pound, which is £06.
13:49Do you be able to write happy birthday 70 year and do the whole lot with the cake for
13:5422 pounds?
13:5523 is fine.
13:58I think Joanna went in there and beat it around the bush a little bit and I thought,
14:01I'm just going to step in and feel like I've done really well there actually.
14:04Birthday cake and rugelach bought...
14:06You don't have to have a Tottenham Hotspur scarf around, do you?
14:09Maybe.
14:10I'm a Tottenham fan.
14:11James tries for the treble.
14:13We really, really, really need a Tottenham Hotspur scarf.
14:17My one, I don't know where it is.
14:18Really?
14:19Maybe at home.
14:20OK, no problem.
14:21Thanks very much for that.
14:23Brilliant.
14:24I do stand by, James, what I said before about letting people close and
14:28negotiate by themselves just because I want no confusion about who's close it.
14:31Yeah, you've closed that one.
14:32No, I know.
14:33But like in terms of the negotiation and everything, make sure you don't jump in too soon.
14:38Because obviously that person needs to kind of own that sale.
14:441.30pm.
14:46Arriving in Hampstead, North London.
14:48Charles, obviously you're Jewish, so build a bit of rapport.
14:51Sergeant finally finds Jewish pastries.
14:54Hello there.
14:55You stocking rugelach?
14:56Yes.
14:57With our own special chocolate inside.
14:58Charles leads negotiations.
15:00How many would you like?
15:0170.
15:0270 units.
15:0345 pounds.
15:04We're looking also for some sort of cake to celebrate a birthday.
15:07I can have a cake for you as well.
15:09And instead of £25, I'll make it for £20.
15:11Less.
15:12Come on, we have to get a good price.
15:14That works for you and works for me.
15:16We was aiming for 50 for the two of them.
15:19Can you get down more near that figure?
15:21Just for you guys, yeah?
15:22Of course.
15:23Don't tell nobody.
15:24Thank you very much.
15:25To the extent there ever was a plan, I don't believe that Sergeant's really following it.
15:28They've come to the outskirts of London to find items cheaper.
15:31However, just look at Hampstead.
15:33It's full of top, top boutiques, expensive shops.
15:36He overpaid for the regular.
15:37And I think that will cost them dearly.
15:40Bakery products bagged.
15:42This is scarlet dowskin.
15:44We need to find out what it is, like.
15:46A mystery still to solve.
15:47Is this anything to do with Lord Sugar's lordship?
15:49Like, do you wear a dowskin-type attire to get lorded, or...?
15:53Of course.
15:54Why don't we call it a textile shop, OK?
15:56Just ring and see if you know what scarlet dowskin is.
16:00Well, it's a cloth.
16:02Can't get the dowskin for a couple of days.
16:05All right, that's been really helpful.
16:06Bye-bye.
16:07We've got some good information.
16:08At least we know exactly what it is now, so you can go in fully equipped.
16:13East London.
16:15So, basically, are we shopping for Lord Sugar's birthday?
16:17We are literally shopping for Lord Sugar.
16:20Rival team Vitality...
16:21Elizabeth, we spoke on the phone earlier.
16:23...find an embroidery shop.
16:25You're after monogramming?
16:26Yes.
16:27Yes.
16:28Personalising for Lord Sugar, Elizabeth.
16:30We realistically are just looking for the initials A.M.S.
16:34What would that normally be, then, if it was the hanky and that all together?
16:37£30.
16:38However, you can have it all in for £18.
16:41£18?
16:42Yes.
16:43Is there any possibility you can drop that a little bit?
16:45I can't, no.
16:46No.
16:47I'm going to throw the hanky in.
16:48I'm going to do it on an express turnaround for you, which usually costs more.
16:51Could we get it to £15?
16:52OK.
16:53£15.
16:54Yes.
16:55Can you knock me a little bit more off?
16:56£12-ish?
16:57I can't do that, I'm afraid, no.
16:58I'm really sorry.
16:59Please.
17:00Is there any movement at all?
17:01Not at all, I'm afraid, no.
17:03Sorry.
17:04Your task is about sourcing, negotiation and strategy skills.
17:07Elizabeth is just wasting time.
17:09They've only found one item, no appointments in the bag, just monogram the thing and get
17:14out and get on.
17:15Heavily discounted already.
17:16This is literally half price.
17:17Could you drop me to £14.50?
17:19Please.
17:20£50p?
17:21Are you really going to do me for £50p?
17:23Please.
17:24Please.
17:25All right.
17:26OK.
17:27Do you know what?
17:28Put it there.
17:29Deal.
17:30Good lad.
17:31Handkerchief pocketed.
17:32Are you calling to confirm that you sold bricks?
17:34We do, yes.
17:35For Bushra's team, three more items to find.
17:38Do you have a product that's made in 1947?
17:41We've got magazines for the 1940s.
17:44The magazine sounds absolutely great.
17:46All right.
17:48Bye.
17:49We've got bricks in South West London and then we have the magazine in South East London.
17:53We've got to go from there to there to there.
17:55We're just crossing London.
17:56We're just taking all of London in in one go.
17:58OK, so what do you suggest then?
18:00Well...
18:01Do you want to not do one of those?
18:04We're not forming a route to work on.
18:06We're just finding places all over London and it's...
18:08Well, in my mind what I was thinking is we go down, we go round, we go back up.
18:12I'm from Nottingham.
18:13Jade's from Manchester.
18:14We do not know what London is.
18:16There's a map in front of you.
18:17I'm from London, yet I don't travel through London.
18:20I'm in the same position as you are, yet I can come up with constructive ideas rather than me being detrimental.
18:25I'm asking...
18:26OK, Bushra.
18:27The driver needs direction.
18:28We're still driving around aimlessly.
18:30Where do you want him to go?
18:31Do you want him to go to Lewisham?
18:32Are you asking me?
18:33Are you putting any input?
18:34I'm asking...
18:35Are you just trying to stray away from actually making a decision yourself?
18:37I'm asking you, Bushra, please, to help me get this guy directed somewhere.
18:43While her sub-team squabbles...
18:45I'm actually looking for an Amstrad computer.
18:48Project manager Joanna...
18:49Yep, I've got one of those.
18:50OK, perfect.
18:51Put it aside.
18:52...hunts for historical hardware.
18:54Could you just put that one aside for us, please?
18:57OK, brilliant.
18:58OK, thanks, bye.
18:59It's on.
19:00It's on.
19:01At least we're on route now for our highest item.
19:04Yeah, exactly.
19:05And anything else in between, we can just figure it out.
19:08Ooh, look, boys.
19:10They say 1947.
19:12For rival team Vitality...
19:14Our budget was really £5.
19:16We'll meet in the middle of a five-hour shift, yeah.
19:19...stamp collected...
19:20So we're going over to get these bricks.
19:22...and next item located...
19:24Look where we are, boys and girls.
19:26At least call me a billion merchants.
19:28In West London, Harrison plans ahead.
19:31We can start trying to source the Amstrad.
19:33Try this one, computer dealer, let's try him.
19:36Hi, I'm after an Amstrad computer.
19:39Yeah, I've got one for sale, but someone's already called me up this morning
19:43and reserved it.
19:44Can we come and get it first?
19:45Are we able to come and get it first?
19:47If you get here first, I suppose.
19:49Do you know if they're coming straight to you?
19:51I don't know.
19:52I had a phone call about five minutes ago.
19:54About five minutes ago.
19:55I'll just deal with who ever gets here first.
19:57OK.
19:58Right.
19:59Thanks very much.
20:00Bye.
20:01How far away are we?
20:02I'd say, if it's clear, 30, 40 minutes.
20:04What?
20:05That is tight, that.
20:06It's really tight, and we could be cutting off the other two things.
20:08Obviously, it's a bit of a risk, because what if you get there and it's not there.
20:11I don't recall there being many Amstrad's in circulation, so are we all decided to go and
20:18try and sweep this one under a graphene's nose?
20:20I'm happy to take a risk.
20:21Drive, can we go to Finsbury Park, please?
20:24Well, they've only called her five minutes ago, so we've got just as good a chance of getting
20:27there.
20:28What's the chances?
20:29Central.
20:30They might be in East London.
20:31OK.
20:32Do we know what kind of postcard we're in right now?
20:34Is it like...
20:35We're in E5.
20:36We're in E5.
20:37We're in E5.
20:38It's by Finsbury Park.
20:39Well, we're heading north, aren't we?
20:40Well, the thing is, though, ultimately, if we're heading...
20:42Yeah, we're heading N.
20:45This traffic is something else, isn't it?
20:48It could be 40 minutes to go back there.
20:49Yeah.
20:50I mean, it's a gamble, isn't it?
20:51I wouldn't have thought the traffic would be this heavy at this time of day.
20:53It's heavy, isn't it?
20:54Look at that, it's gridlocked.
20:55Look at that down there.
20:56It's quidlocked.
20:57What I'm thinking in my head, get that and come backwards.
21:00And if we've got a strategy, we found the computer, we found the area, we found everything else,
21:03and then head to the end location point.
21:05Perfect.
21:06Perfect.
21:11Probably another 20 minutes away, if it stays like this, this traffic.
21:14Driver, could you come off here the next left, yeah?
21:18How far is it?
21:19I don't...
21:20Honestly, I suppose south is me.
21:21This is, like, going up north.
21:23OK, I really, really, really want to kind of emphasise this Amstrad computer.
21:26Yeah.
21:27It's very important.
21:28Because I don't want this to be the deal-breaker of everything.
21:33We're here now, this has finished a car.
21:34Yeah.
21:35Like, a couple of streets away.
21:42Hello.
21:43Hi.
21:44Is it Katie?
21:45It's got loads of games with it, it's got some books.
21:48What kind of price is this going for at the moment?
21:50I'm around £120 mark.
21:52We were looking more around the £40, £50 mark.
21:56I've got another buyer interested, so I'd probably see what they said first.
22:01OK, we obviously like this thing, it's really nice.
22:03We want to look to sort of take it away.
22:05Would you take £75?
22:06If you give me £90 now, I'll take it.
22:09How about £85?
22:10I've got another buyer that I could just call.
22:1288?
22:13Just a couple of pounds?
22:14Yeah.
22:1588?
22:16Sure.
22:17Lovely.
22:18Thank you very much.
22:19Thank you, Katie.
22:20Perfect.
22:21Don't suppose you have a Tottenham Hotspur scarf?
22:23I have...
22:24No, I've got an old Liverpool one, but no.
22:26Oh, nearly.
22:27He's so near yet so far.
22:30Finally, in North London...
22:35Harrison's team.
22:36Hello.
22:37Hi, it's Andrew.
22:38We're just round the corner.
22:39I was wondering if you still had your Amstrad.
22:41I'm afraid the other buyer's been gone.
22:44Just.
22:45I'm sorry.
22:46I was just about to text you.
22:48Thanks every so much anyway.
22:49Thanks, Andrew.
22:50Bye.
22:53Hello, Harrison.
22:55Hello, mate.
22:56So, just a quick one.
22:57How are you doing your side?
22:58The moment we've got a cake.
23:00We've got the rugler.
23:02We just need to go get the dough skin, a handkerchief,
23:05and the Tottenham Hotspur scarf as well.
23:07Tell me what you've got so far.
23:08Yeah, so we've got something from 1947.
23:11We had a bit of a nightmare with the computer.
23:13We got there, and one minute before we got there, it got sold.
23:17The 100 bricks and the mortar, have you sourced it already?
23:21We're on our way to somewhere now.
23:23And, yeah, we're going to try and get that loaded up.
23:26So, we're not far.
23:27Could we potentially do some swaps?
23:29So, you could take on the Tottenham Hotspur scarf,
23:31we could potentially go find the Amstrad computer.
23:34Yes.
23:35That's what we're thinking.
23:36OK, let's do that.
23:37Go get the 100 bricks and then come straight to House of Lords.
23:39Sergeant, that's brilliant.
23:41Thanks, Sergeant. Bye-bye.
23:43Bye-bye.
23:44All right, we're now in a position that we need to get that Amstrad computer
23:46just simply because if we don't and we're to get a 50-pound finder,
23:49that is a high...
23:50Plus the value of the item.
23:51That's going to be the make-and-break here.
23:52I'm a bit annoyed about the Amstrad computer.
23:54There was a clear strategy that the other team was supposed to acquire that.
23:57Sergeant took it on for our team.
23:59I think it was a bad idea, personally.
24:01Now, with three items still to source...
24:05We wanted a handkerchief that we could get embroidered.
24:08Michaela tries to sew up a deal.
24:10Use a £15.99, and it's the highest quality printing you'll get in a pocket square.
24:15In our budget, we only actually budgeted for £7.50.
24:18Meet me at £12.
24:19Can you do embroidery here?
24:21No, I can't. I can do £10 at the lowest.
24:24I think £10 is a fair price, isn't it?
24:25OK.
24:26All right, yeah.
24:27Just a thought, Sergeant, I know it would be ideal to have this conversation outside of the store,
24:30so apologies if this is at all rude.
24:32But are we maybe making a mistake by not getting the embroidery done with the purchase,
24:36because I feel like we're going to pay probably a lot more?
24:38I don't think so, because if we went to an embroidery place that didn't sell it,
24:41then we're going to be knackered.
24:42We are wasting more time.
24:43It's only a tenner.
24:44I think the issue with Ross in a task like this is he's not made himself want to negotiate.
24:48Nobody loops him as a negotiator, so Sarge would never put him in that position,
24:51and therefore he's not really contributed anything to the task.
24:55Handkerchief bought.
24:56We don't stock those skin.
24:57We can get it in three to five days.
24:59One more fabric to secure.
25:01You've got a sample there, you guys can all have a feel.
25:03Do you know, Kobe, would we be able to keep this sample so...?
25:06The sample is free.
25:07Fabulous.
25:084.30pm.
25:10We need one manual retractable aerial.
25:14Two and a half hours remain.
25:16This one is the oldest stock.
25:175.50?
25:186 pounds.
25:196 pounds.
25:20Sounds good to me.
25:21For the other team...
25:22Could we be able to take a look at a 1947 magazine?
25:25Yes.
25:26A junk shop.
25:2775.
25:28Yes.
25:29I haven't got any change.
25:30I should be very kind and not charge you for this one.
25:32Really appreciate that.
25:33Hi.
25:34I'm looking for car aerial.
25:35For Sarah Jane...
25:36Is it for any specific car?
25:38Err, no, no, not really.
25:39It's got to be manual and retractable.
25:41Same shop...
25:42I can do it for £8.
25:43Come on, £7, please.
25:44Go on, I'll do it for £7.
25:46That's great.
25:48Higher price.
25:49Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
25:53For every item not purchased...
25:55Right now, what I'm really worried about is this scarf.
25:58..a hefty fine.
26:00James built such a good rapport with the owner of the bakery
26:03and he did say he's got one at home,
26:05so I don't know whether it's worth just giving him a call, James,
26:09and just saying, do you happen to be near home right now?
26:11He might do you that favour...
26:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:13..because he really liked you.
26:14Why not?
26:15PHONE RINGS
26:16Hello?
26:17Hey, Velvie, it's James calling again from earlier.
26:19How are you doing?
26:20Good.
26:21You mentioned earlier that you at home
26:23had a Tottenham Hotspur scarf.
26:25Really, really hoping you wouldn't mind us taking
26:28one of your ones off you.
26:30I don't have one.
26:32I've got a friend who's got one.
26:34Two minutes away from the bakery.
26:36OK, brilliant.
26:37Well, thanks very much for that.
26:38Bye-bye.
26:39Get in and get it closed like in a minute.
26:41Just don't give him that much for a spiel.
26:45For project manager Sargent...
26:47So I just wanted to see whether we could get an Amstrad computer.
26:50..a computer lead.
26:51I do it as a hobby. I have several in stock.
26:54How far would it be for me if I'm coming from, say, Baker Street?
26:57Baker Street? Oh, you're over West London.
26:59Yeah.
27:00You're probably looking at an hour.
27:02Is there any way that we could potentially meet halfway
27:05to get the computers off you?
27:07Um, we'll just put our dinner on.
27:10Um, what time would you be looking at?
27:12As soon as possible.
27:14It would be really appreciated.
27:16Yeah, OK then.
27:18Let's say we'll meet there within 45 minutes.
27:20All right then.
27:21Thank you so much.
27:22Bye.
27:23OK.
27:24That's good that we've got it sorted.
27:25If we meet him in half an hour yet,
27:26are we going to get back to the House of Lords?
27:29Uh, we've currently got an hour and 20 minutes to do that.
27:32All of it, which is tight, but if possible, is a bit of a mile,
27:35but we have to do it.
27:37On Team Graphene...
27:39I've got a little bit of experience with builders' merchants.
27:42Do you want me to talk to them about building bricks and stuff
27:44or do you want to do it, Bushra?
27:45I think I'm quite happy to go in and do the best that I can.
27:48Constructing a deal...
27:50My name's Bushra and this is Jade and this is Elizabeth.
27:52All right, mate. How are you? Good.
27:54Bushra...
27:55So, we are looking for 100 bricks at the lowest cost possible.
27:59We're on a budget.
28:00We need to see, you know, what you can do for us
28:02and maybe meet somewhere in the middle.
28:04Question.
28:05Have you got a skip?
28:06Yeah.
28:07Is there any in the skip?
28:08No.
28:09I can do it for £43, including VAT.
28:11Is that the trade price?
28:12Yes, yes.
28:13OK.
28:14Bushra's deal, clinched by Elizabeth.
28:16Elizabeth is an uncontrollable, unprofessional cartoon character.
28:23Let me...
28:2416...
28:25Oh, shit.
28:26She definitely goes on about pointless things.
28:28Very nice builder's manners. Let me borrow his boots.
28:30Do I get to keep the boots as well?
28:32At the end of the day, you know, those kind of actions is not someone
28:35that I would class as a professional businesswoman.
28:37All done?
28:38All done.
28:39Right.
28:42I found it really unprofessional, the way you interjected in my pitch.
28:48He has already said...
28:49May I be allowed to respond, please, because you've said your piece and now I would like
28:52to say mine.
28:53Well, you don't actually own up to what you've done.
28:55You don't say, guys, I'm sorry, I interrupted him, I look like a fool.
28:58What you do is you come back and you go, let me speak, let me speak, and I'm actually tired
29:03of that, I've tried to be polite to you, you don't listen.
29:06OK, so I'm asking you now, what would you like me to do and I will do it?
29:09You just have to be professional.
29:135.30pm.
29:15Timber building and fencing supplies.
29:17Also in the market for bricks, Harrison's team.
29:21It's closed.
29:23Right, erm, yeah, they've closed.
29:25OK, so we need a builder's merchant, that's near Holloway Road.
29:28There's plumbing and building supplies.
29:31Let's give it a go.
29:32Oh, is he shut?
29:34It's shut up five, it's shut up five.
29:36Look, there's a load of construction supplies over there.
29:38Oh, my God, there's a construction site across the road.
29:41Let's get them.
29:42Let's go and see if we can ask it.
29:44Excuse me, fella.
29:46We came for some bricks and mortar mix.
29:49You ain't gonna get nothing off-site?
29:51No?
29:52Is there any way we can get into the shop but do a nice little deal?
29:54Absolutely no.
29:55No way around it.
29:56No one we can talk to.
29:57You can say it as many times but you're never gonna get around it.
29:59All right.
30:00The Amstrad decision messed us up because we had the builder's merchant
30:03in north-west London.
30:04As Harrison is a sub-team leader, I think that comes down on him.
30:09Guys, we need to know where you are so we need to plan ourselves as well.
30:12We're just about to try one more builder's merchant cos we've had no luck.
30:15So at the moment you've only got one item?
30:16We've got two.
30:17Two items.
30:18OK.
30:19How are you getting on?
30:20Well, we only need to get rid of Hackersheak and Broders.
30:22And the Amstrad owner.
30:24We spoke to the dealer.
30:25He can come to Canoe Wharf within about 30 minutes.
30:28Yeah, you're not gonna make it back.
30:30We're gonna desperately try and get the scarf, Sergeant, on the way.
30:33At least we'll have three of them.
30:34Yeah, just tell them to focus on that.
30:36OK, fine.
30:37Bye.
30:38It's ten to six.
30:39I think it's a massive risk to get the computer, to be honest with you.
30:42Such a big risk.
30:43Yeah, we can't.
30:44We can't be late.
30:45We cannot be late.
30:46Guys, we just need to know what the hell we're doing.
30:47Like, this is getting a bit frantic.
30:48No-one knows where we're going or what we're doing.
30:50It's not.
30:51It's really not.
30:52If you have another suggestion, please throw it into the mix.
30:53No, we're fine with that.
30:54Because it's not that it's frantic.
30:55We're all running out of suggestions.
30:56So if you've got one, please feel free to tell us because we're all...
30:59Guys, relax.
31:00Relax.
31:01I've got it.
31:02Guys, just chill out.
31:03We're going to cancel the meeting with the dealer.
31:06For Sergeant, a change of direction.
31:10Hello?
31:11We're not far away.
31:12I've got some bad news for you.
31:15We are unable to make it because we're stuck in traffic.
31:18You're joking.
31:20We're just coming up to Canary Wharf now.
31:23There's no way we'll be able to get to Canary Wharf at the moment.
31:26OK, then.
31:27All right, thank you.
31:28Bye.
31:29Driver, can we start heading to the House of Lords?
31:32North London.
31:35It's nearly five to six.
31:37OK, so if we can get in and out by five past six, I reckon we might just do it.
31:41For one half of Team Graphene.
31:44Hi, Simha.
31:45One item remaining.
31:46So I've got this one, £500.
31:48OK, no, we can't do that.
31:49And this one's going to be £200.
31:51And is there anything else?
31:52This is also quite expensive, but give me 50 quid, I'll sell you this one.
31:5620 is the top of my budget.
31:57You can have this for 30 quid.
31:59OK.
32:00Just do 28.
32:01I set you 50.
32:02I've gone down because I'm serious.
32:03OK.
32:04So 30 is the last.
32:05OK, come on.
32:06If you're going to hang around £2, I don't want to sell it.
32:07OK, Simha, I think we're going to have to take it.
32:08Thank you very much.
32:09Thank you so much.
32:10Let's run.
32:11Go, go, go, go.
32:13House of Lords.
32:14For the rest of Joanna's team.
32:15Could dough skin be something to do with upholstery or fabric?
32:20Is it worth speaking to a fabric merchant?
32:22One item still to secure.
32:24I'm calling just to figure out what scarlet dough skin may be.
32:28Is it textile fabric?
32:29Yes.
32:30Brilliant.
32:31We have that in stock, yeah.
32:33What time are you open until?
32:35Until around 6.30.
32:37Bye.
32:38Yay!
32:39Oh, my God!
32:40That blasted...
32:41Oh!
32:42So cute!
32:43I knew that we...
32:44Oh, textiles.
32:45I'm just a bit concerned about time because it's now 10 past 6.
32:48Yeah.
32:49We've got to get there and we've got to get back to the House of Lords.
32:51Yeah.
32:52Hello?
32:53Hi, Mushra.
32:54Joanna, we've got 30 minutes to get to the House of Lords
32:59and we're just on our way to go and collect these scarlet dough skins.
33:03We've managed to get all of our items.
33:05We had to go a little bit further out to get the scarf.
33:07We've literally just left there.
33:09We might end up being late anyway, but we've just had to weigh it up.
33:11So I'm saying go for the dough skin.
33:13OK, so we're going to take your lead and we're going to go, all right?
33:16Good luck, team!
33:17Bye!
33:18We need to be quick.
33:20I mean, in, price, out, bam.
33:23We have no time to wait.
33:24Yeah.
33:266.30.
33:27Where are you at the moment?
33:28You're right next to us, mate.
33:29Why are you passing the river in London right now on the right side, yeah?
33:32Yeah.
33:33You're in the car right next to us.
33:34We're here, we're side by side.
33:35Half an hour left.
33:36We're on our way and we're looking out for somewhere to get a scarf, yeah?
33:39If you miss out on that item, you'll miss out, but make sure you get there on time.
33:43OK.
33:44If we see a Tottenham fan on the street, could we not pay for his scarf?
33:47They've not won the league, so why would he want to keep it anyway?
33:50This is Joe's skin.
33:51We wouldn't be able to take one of these pieces with us, would we be buying each other?
33:56Great not.
33:57We have a longer length that you can purchase, if you like.
34:00£10.
34:01Five.
34:02OK, so I think we should just, as a last-ditch attempt, try Lambert souvenirs.
34:07I don't think we'll make it.
34:08What do you mean?
34:09What if this cost us?
34:10We run, should we bolt round there?
34:11Do that and we should go.
34:12Should we bolt?
34:13If we can't stop, OK.
34:14Let's go for it, come on.
34:15Go, go, go!
34:16Go on, sir!
34:17Five minutes to go.
34:20They said they were on the bridge, we were also on the bridge.
34:23How are they not here?
34:24Doesn't make any sense at all.
34:25How could they have possibly just disappeared in the five minutes since we spoke to them and they're right with us?
34:29Where have they gone?
34:30Do you reckon they're going to try and get that scarf?
34:32Go on, go, go, go, go.
34:34Here you go.
34:35Tottenham scarf.
34:36Oh, get in.
34:37£11.
34:38Thank you so much.
34:40I made it very clear to just make it here on time.
34:43We don't want to have more penalties.
34:45All right, let's go.
34:46Let's go.
34:47Go, go, go.
34:48We're about five minutes away.
34:50I hope the other team are late.
34:52If they are late, we will incur the same penalties.
34:55That is literally going to be the difference in winning and losing this task.
34:59Two minutes to seven.
35:00Where are they?
35:01Oh.
35:04It's our sub team.
35:05Guys, guys, guys.
35:06Come on, run, run.
35:07Less than a minute.
35:08Come on, come on.
35:09Come on.
35:10Come on, come on, come on, come on.
35:12Work, work.
35:15Time's up.
35:177 p.m.
35:18Graphene's up here.
35:19I'm so happy that we got to the House of Lords for the time that we intended to do so.
35:24But the only fear that I have is that we haven't got all the items.
35:27Definitely missed the deadline.
35:30What can we do?
35:31Absolutely just ridiculous traffic.
35:33Can't do anything about it.
35:34We've made the decision.
35:35The only thing is we just can't judge it now.
35:37We're just going to have to wait until the boardroom and find out exactly what the penalty is.
35:41It's a quarter to eight.
35:45And they're just not bothered about the timings.
35:47Oh, just hurry up.
35:4945 minutes after deadline.
35:51I'm really disappointed that we're late.
35:53Joanna hasn't taken time considerations seriously.
35:57I just hope that the penalties don't make all our hard work for nothing.
36:01Tonight, back to the House.
36:03Tomorrow, a birthday party in the boardroom.
36:07You can go to the boardroom now.
36:19Good morning.
36:20Good morning, Monsieur.
36:21Well, this is one of my favourite tasks.
36:37It's all to do with negotiating, logistics.
36:41And the items that I listed in there had something to do with me.
36:45Anyway, you had to turn up at the House of Lords.
36:48I hope you were quiet because I didn't want to wake any of them up there.
36:51Let's start with vitality.
36:54Sergeant, you put yourself up as the project manager, right?
36:57That's correct.
36:58Who was on your team?
36:59Myself, Charles, Ross and Michaela.
37:01Obviously, Ross is more analytical.
37:03Charles is in the...
37:04Analytical?
37:05Yeah.
37:06What was he analysing?
37:07The logistics side and just the operational side of the whole task.
37:10Did you get an understanding of what all the items were?
37:13Yes.
37:14So you knew everything?
37:15Apart from the scarlet dough skin.
37:16Charles knew what the rugler was.
37:18Rugler.
37:19Rugler, sorry.
37:20We found a supermarket, so we thought we'd get the rugler from there.
37:23I knew as soon as it pulled up, to be fair, that it wasn't the right place to be.
37:26It's a Turkish supermarket, wasn't it?
37:28Rugler is a Jewish thing.
37:30You're Jewish.
37:31What did you think the scarlet dough skin was?
37:34Something that cut off your willy when you was young or something?
37:37But anyway, tell me how you found out what the dough skin was.
37:41Yeah, so I called a star and, well, just asked them what it was.
37:45It's the cloak that we wear in the House of Lords.
37:47Yeah, he said he had some samples, so I just said,
37:49can we take it for free?
37:50So you got it for nothing?
37:52Yeah, and we also got a handkerchief, which we planned to go abroad,
37:55and we were quite confident we'd get it done.
37:57We then received a call from the sub-team to find out where they were.
38:01You were the sub-team leader, Harrison, right?
38:03Yeah.
38:04You had to get the 1947 item.
38:05That's right, yes.
38:06The aerial.
38:07The bricks, mortar and the computer, right?
38:09Yeah.
38:10We got the 1947 item.
38:12We found a stamp shop.
38:13From there, we booked an appointment to the bricks and mortar,
38:16and while en route, we're calling around trying to find the Amstrad.
38:20I've got a map of where you went here.
38:22You look like you're a sat-nav gone nuts.
38:25Like a magical mystery tour.
38:27When we were on our way to the bricks and mortar,
38:29we did get through to a lady, and she said that she did have the Amstrad,
38:33but someone was going to be there.
38:35I think she flogged it to them.
38:36Oh, yeah, so we had a bit of a nightmare of the traffic,
38:38so that did hold us up.
38:40OK.
38:41The scarf, you got a good price, I think, didn't you?
38:44Yeah, so...
38:45About £11.
38:46Yeah, so the scarf was right at the end of the day.
38:47We had to take a gamble.
38:48We literally had ten minutes left,
38:49but we literally got to the House of Lords five seconds
38:52before the clock chimed, so that was a nice end to the day.
38:56OK, so, Sargent, you were the project manager.
39:00Did you get good direction from him?
39:02I think initially, yeah.
39:03Maybe it didn't go to plan based on the changes in the day, but, yeah.
39:06You think you got good cooperation from everybody?
39:09I did. Lots of energy and lots of hard work.
39:11Right.
39:12OK, now, Joanna, I made you the project manager
39:16because it seemed to me that you were kind of blaming everyone
39:20in the past for this and that and the other,
39:23so I thought, well, you'd be the project manager
39:25and you'll have no-one to blame other than yourself, right?
39:28So, tell me how your day started, then.
39:31So, in the brainstorm meeting,
39:33I thought it was really important to break the teams up.
39:35I ended up making Bushra the sub-team leader.
39:38Yeah.
39:39And that was including Jade and Elizabeth.
39:41Was there some reason you stuck Jade and Elizabeth into Bushra's team?
39:45It wasn't anything to do with having a row beforehand in the morning.
39:48Well, you know, I do think that, you know, morale is important for the team.
39:53All right.
39:55So, you set off...
39:57I thought it was so important to prioritise finding out what the rugla was,
40:01just in case it was a high-value item as well.
40:04How did you find out, in the end, what the rugla was?
40:06We were quite lucky in the sense that the gentleman that we caught on the phone
40:09was really helpful, gave us a referral of a particular bakery.
40:13Volvi.
40:14Yeah, I think we brought up a good rapport.
40:15He turned out quite a good friend, didn't he?
40:17He helped us out in the end, because I asked him if he had a scarf,
40:20which he said he did.
40:21He didn't have it with him on that day.
40:22So, Joanna said to me in the afternoon,
40:24why don't we call him, see if he could get us a scarf,
40:27and we'll go and pick it up.
40:28And what did you end up paying him for this second-hand scarf?
40:30Don't, just don't.
40:31It was £50.
40:32£30.
40:33It was £50 initially and we got it down to £30.
40:34They paid £11 for their one.
40:35I know.
40:36I mean, there have been some dodgy expenses handed in at the House of Lords
40:38over the years, but £30 was ridiculous.
40:41And the Ariel?
40:42Car Ariel's down to myself.
40:43It was £12.99, got it down to £7.
40:46They paid £6 for their one.
40:47I don't think you pushed him as hard as you could, Sarah J.
40:49Because of the time pressure, that's the reason.
40:51I would say your style is no fireworks, no disasters.
40:54OK.
40:55Down the middle.
40:56Hmm.
40:57Bushra, I heard that you were a bit indecisive.
40:59As a sub-team leader.
41:01When you have two team members, it's quite hard to kind of get their opinion.
41:04I was trying to engage them.
41:06I just didn't get as much response from them as I would have liked.
41:09May I speak, Lord Sugar?
41:11Bushra and I almost got to log our heads at one point and it is...
41:14Well, you three were rowing, wasn't you, all the time?
41:16Jade and Elizabeth and Bushra?
41:17No, we weren't rowing.
41:19I gave Bushra a very...
41:21I strongly advised Bushra at one point that we needed to direct the driver.
41:24And when we went into the builders' merchant,
41:26Merchant Bushra was not happy with the way that I spoke to the builder.
41:29Um, but I took it on board.
41:31And you finally got to the House of Lords an hour late, yeah?
41:34With your £30 scarf.
41:36It's because we had a phone call and at that point,
41:38the sub-team sourced the scarlet doe skin.
41:41And you bought that bit, did you?
41:42We got it for £5.
41:43You paid for it, I got it for nothing.
41:45It was a scarf and the doe skin that made you late.
41:48And you actually ended up paying more for those two items in this team.
41:51Right, enough. Let's get to the numbers, shall we?
41:54Claude, could you please tell me what your team spent?
41:59Vitality spent £82.50.
42:03Karen?
42:05Well, with some good negotiation, Alan,
42:08they managed to get all nine items for £210.70.
42:12Now, the fine for being late is £100.
42:17With your fine, their total is £310.70.
42:21OK. Claude?
42:23There were three items that they failed to deliver
42:26and that cost them £347.53,
42:30giving a total of £430.03.
42:38You're lost.
42:39Again.
42:42£347 were for fines.
42:45Unbelievable.
42:47Well, ladies...
42:49And gentlemen.
42:50And gentlemen.
42:52Joanna, what's wrong?
42:55Tears of joy.
42:57Tears of joy.
42:58Obviously, I knew I took the risk with the time,
43:00but I was really scared about that.
43:01I tried my hardest.
43:03Congratulations on your win.
43:04I'm sending you off to a bar that celebrates the 1940s,
43:08the decade that I was born.
43:10OK?
43:11Off you go.
43:12Happy belated birthday. Thank you.
43:15Thanks, guys.
43:16Everything.
43:19Well, not a great result.
43:21You've only got six of your items.
43:23Anyway, you go off and we'll discuss it in more detail
43:27and at least one of you will be fired.
43:29OK?
43:30Congratulations on winning your task and welcome to the 1940s.
43:41Maybe it's because I'm...
43:42Cheers, everybody.
43:43Well done to winning again.
43:44I feel amazing.
43:45I feel like my emotions have kind of skyrocketed.
43:48There's an element of relief that now I can justify some of the things I've done in the past.
43:55Oh, maybe it's because I'm a Londoner.
43:59There's been some people in our team that have basically come along in other people's coattails.
44:03I think when the teams get mixed up and guys who are really strong now mixing with them,
44:07they're just going to get eaten up.
44:09Go back then, guys.
44:14Not great.
44:15Going geographically was the wrong move.
44:18We lost a lot of time and then we were chasing our tails.
44:21I'm not to blame for the failure of this task.
44:24If the sub-team struggle with their location, they should be able to make decisions of where to go.
44:28We lost this task on a few fines.
44:30Missing up those two items was a big mistake.
44:32What can you do?
44:33No.
44:34What can you do?
44:35Harrison was responsible for getting the computer.
44:37They didn't get it and it derailed the whole task and caused the failure.
44:40Unfortunately, we had two high-press ticket items, only three of us, to do all the calls, negotiate, get everywhere.
44:45Our strategy from the offset was pretty appalling.
44:48It's almost like we set ourselves up to fail and I think the blame is on Sargent.
45:02Yes, Lord Sugar.
45:03Can you send the candidates in, please?
45:19Well, you had to get nine items, you got six.
45:24What was you doing all that time?
45:26Basically, it just wasn't planned correctly from the beginning.
45:29If you go west, we go east. London is a big place. London is pretty big.
45:33If you fail to plan, then it's going to kind of go wrong.
45:36What about your planning, though? I mean, you was the sub-team leader.
45:39As a sub-team leader.
45:40As a sub-team leader, I'll tell you what I did as a sub-team.
45:42We were on our way to get the bricks and mortar and while we were making that journey,
45:46we were still calling people to see if we could find an Amstrad computer.
45:49We did get through to a lady who said someone had spoken to them, so we had to make the call.
45:54Do you realise that you were sitting virtually outside a builder's merchant?
45:58We knew if we hadn't have gone as soon as we spoke to the lady,
46:01there was no chance of getting there.
46:02I don't know, do you just talk a good game or what?
46:04No, not... I don't know.
46:06You talk a good game, but you don't actually do anything.
46:08That's... Well, that's disappointing to here, because that's not at all.
46:11Everything that we spoke about at the beginning of the day was carried out and was done.
46:15No, no, no, no. You can't possibly say that.
46:17You missed the bricks and mortar for a start, so you can't say it was only the Amstrad.
46:20At that point, you made a call to and said,
46:22oh, we're going to go to the building merchants.
46:24We didn't realise that you were going to go there
46:26and you hadn't made any bookings or you hadn't even sourced the product.
46:29Should I have known that they couldn't get anything,
46:31I would have left them in charge of still getting those...
46:33But that's not true, Sergeant, because we swapped the football scarf.
46:36That's what we agreed to take on and we got that just before seven.
46:39No, I agree, no, but that was just simply...
46:41Hold on one second. We told you. You said we've got this, we've got this, we've got this.
46:44You did say to me, and everyone that was here in this team actually had it,
46:47that we need to go to the building merchants.
46:49Now, if you're going to go... We did say that, yes.
46:50You did, I understand.
46:51So, but that's what I'm trying to say is you're not going to go...
46:53What's the relevance of that, Sergeant?
46:55That's irrelevant. You guys took it on.
46:57Hold on a second. Just hold...
46:58If I knew you couldn't get to the building merchants,
47:00then I would have said to you guys, continue and go get the computer.
47:03The fact is that you said to me...
47:04There's hundreds of builders' merchants across London.
47:06I think you must have passed 50 of them on this round Britain tour
47:10that you went on here.
47:11We should have, yeah, we should have planned it better at the beginning of the day.
47:13I mean, you were shopping around for bricks, not a wedding dress.
47:17You know, it's not as if you had to make choices.
47:20Bricks are bricks, right? Yeah.
47:22And with regards to high-ticket items,
47:24it would probably have made sense to one team take one,
47:27us take the other.
47:28And, Sergeant, as project manager said,
47:30we'll take the computer, you go and get the football scarf.
47:32So you took it back then? Yes.
47:34But he clearly said they've got an appointment
47:36to secure the bricks and mortar, which is high value.
47:38We'll take the other high value... Oh, hello, Ross.
47:40Well, what was you on this task, Ross?
47:43Yeah, so...
47:44What did you do?
47:45Yeah, I knew that you'd ask me that.
47:47Did you?
47:48Yeah, I did, unfortunately.
47:50And?
47:51I was meant to be leading the logistics on the east side of London.
47:54Meant to be?
47:55Meant to be.
47:56Did you buy anything?
47:57No.
47:58No.
47:59Were you a waste of space in this task, or what?
48:00No, absolutely not.
48:01I think, ultimately, circumstances meant I didn't really get the opportunity
48:04to contribute massively.
48:06I think, ultimately...
48:07So, who's responsible?
48:08The fact that we didn't get the computer compromised the bricks.
48:10The fact that the computer came over to the project management team
48:12compromised the handkerchief.
48:13Sound like that song, There's a Hole in My Bucket, it does, you know?
48:16This thing caused that, and that thing caused this,
48:18and this thing caused that.
48:19That's what happened.
48:20The day unravelled, basically, because of the computer that wasn't secured.
48:23The computer is a complete and utter farce.
48:26You found another one, and you convinced this guy, this poor fellow,
48:30having his dinner at home, to meet you halfway in Canary Wharf.
48:34Yes, that's correct.
48:35We were stuck in a position where we were stuck in traffic,
48:38and to get to Canary Wharf, it was a risk of either going to get that item
48:41or coming late to...
48:43But it's a high-ticket item, right?
48:44It was, Lord Sugar, but we didn't want to risk the penalty
48:47of turning up late.
48:48Well, it was a very, very substantial amount you got fined for that computer.
48:52Charles, you bought the rugler and the cake.
48:56You go into a Turkish supermarket
48:58and ask them whether they've got rugler.
49:00Then you went to Hampstead, right?
49:03OK, we still got the item that I thought the price to negotiate
49:05with the cake inclusive was good, and asked Sargent if he was happy with it.
49:08It was myself and Sargent who actually ended up negotiating that price.
49:12Before you start patting yourself on the shoulder,
49:14you paid 50 quid for what the other team got for £23.
49:18You jumped in when I was actually negotiating, and the final price I got to 50.
49:22No, no, you said 65.
49:24No, you said, oh, it's 65.
49:26All right, Sargent. It was myself who jumped in.
49:28No, it was 55. It was 55 and I got down to 50.
49:30No, no, then Sarge, then Sarge got it from 55 to 50.
49:33Who's responsible for the failure of this task, do you think?
49:37We were given a geographical strategy.
49:39That was the failure of the task, and therefore, I think Sargent was responsible.
49:42I can't hold hands of every single person in this team.
49:45You should be able to think on your feet at that point in time
49:47and say, we need to go to a different location.
49:49Sargent. Yes, Lutron.
49:51Can you tell me which two people you're bringing back into this boardroom?
49:55I'll be bringing back Harrison, sub-team leader.
50:02I'm Ross.
50:04Right.
50:05OK.
50:06The rest of you go back to the house.
50:09Right.
50:10I'm going to have a further talk to Claude and Karen.
50:21And at least one of you is going to be fired.
50:24Step outside.
50:30So Sargent, everybody's pointing the finger at him.
50:33He's a good talker.
50:35He talked a good game, but actually didn't carry through.
50:38Ross, did he do anything?
50:40I think he's more academic than a doer.
50:44Yeah.
50:45Harrison, this is the third time, is in the bottom three.
50:48He took on the sub-team leader role, but when it came to it,
50:51it was Sarah who was directing things.
50:53I have to say, he does work hard.
50:58Yes, Lord Sugar.
50:59Can you send the three of them in, please?
51:08THE END
51:09THE END
51:10THE END
51:11THE END
51:12THE END
51:14So, looking at this thing here, a Japanese tourist who'd just got off a plane
51:19would have worked his way round London better than you lot.
51:22I believe that was for the sub-team. And the sub-team leader was Harrison.
51:25All that went wrong is we didn't get to the computer in time.
51:28When we swapped it, I made sure we got that item.
51:30So, we got three of the four in the end.
51:32You want to go show...
51:33Harrison, with all due respect, when you were meant to get the bricks,
51:36I don't know why you would make a decision to leave those bricks there.
51:39We didn't. We weren't standing outside the store.
51:42If I was standing outside the store and there was 100 bricks there,
51:44I'm clearly going to pick the 100 bricks up on it.
51:46Well, the store was just there, wasn't it?
51:47We weren't. It wasn't like that side.
51:49So, obviously, I'm not standing outside the store with 100 bricks.
51:51We were close to it.
51:52If I wasn't standing outside the store where they were...
51:54We were close to it.
51:55You should have the initiative on your own to go get those bricks.
51:58Why did you bring Ross back in this boardroom?
52:00It felt maybe Ross struggled.
52:02Apart from the sub-team leader, I was looking for someone who sort of
52:05maybe underperformed.
52:06I mean, I would actually love to know why you think I'm responsible
52:09for the failure of this task,
52:10cos I can't even tie myself to the failure in any way in my head.
52:13No, but you see, there is an issue there, Ross.
52:15If you do absolutely nothing, then by the letter of the law,
52:19you can't be held responsible for the failure of it.
52:21Of course.
52:22But on the other hand, people who do absolutely nothing
52:25are no good to me.
52:26OK, and I agree.
52:28I was project leader on week two.
52:30You lost week two.
52:31I'm aware that we lost it, but my point is,
52:33I have put myself in the firing line
52:35and I did demonstrate good leadership skills.
52:37I did demonstrate good timekeeping and logistics.
52:39Who do you think is responsible for the failure of this task?
52:42I think the computer screwed everything up,
52:44so for that reason, I'd say Harrison.
52:45Harrison, why should you remain in this process?
52:47I think I've proven what I'll do to make sure our team wins.
52:50I've been picked as sub-team leader twice, cos I am loyal.
52:53I will keep control of the team, and that's happened both times.
52:56You might be loyal.
52:57You haven't been successful as sub-team leader at all, have you?
53:00No.
53:01Well, on the other task, I definitely performed there.
53:04You admit it yourself.
53:05Harrison believes his greatest strengths
53:07is that he's able to get on with everybody.
53:10I reckon they trust you to be a good business person,
53:13but maybe you're not.
53:14I am definitely a good business person.
53:16Ross, I've got your CV here.
53:18You say you're usually the smartest person in any room.
53:21What do you mean by that?
53:23So, statistically speaking, I'm very smart,
53:27and if you take an average room of people from the UK,
53:30I'm usually the smartest person in the room.
53:32Really? Really?
53:33I'm modest with it, also.
53:34And what gauge do you use?
53:36I actually do have the IQ of an official genius,
53:38which I'm kind of proud of.
53:40Really? Yeah.
53:41Is that the West Ham Supporters Club gave you that?
53:43My IQ does sit in the bracket of genius.
53:45You've shown no genius as far as business acumen is concerned so far.
53:50Do you not feel I've performed well in the first four tasks?
53:52No.
53:53I've been in a losing team four times.
53:55Yeah, unfortunately, I have.
53:56Statistically, as you would put it, you've not really performed.
53:59Well, I think I have shown that I'm not just a technical person.
54:02I have a versatile skill set.
54:04Right. I see.
54:06Sergeant, in here, you claim your greatest ability
54:10is to understand and read people.
54:12That's correct.
54:13Well, what did you read in this task?
54:15Lord sugar, I'll tell you what, I mean, I'm definitely not.
54:18I'm definitely not the most smartest person in this room,
54:20but I'm probably the most hard-working person.
54:21You're not a genius, then?
54:22No, definitely not.
54:23Do you think he's a genius?
54:24He may be good at what he does, but I'll tell you what I am.
54:27I'm very hard-working, very passionate at what I do.
54:29Where I've come from, it's been difficult.
54:31My upbringing's been very different.
54:33I'm young.
54:34I might not be experienced with these guys,
54:35but there's definitely something that I'll give you,
54:36which is hard work.
54:37I'm here to be mentored.
54:39I am still building my confidence,
54:41and I've still got a long way to go in this process.
54:43I'll decide whether you've got a long way to go in this process.
54:46Who's responsible, then, out of you?
54:48The sub-team leader, Harrison.
54:49You ended up taking the computer.
54:50We took the scarf and we got the scarf,
54:52because I made sure I'd get that scarf.
54:54I didn't stop.
54:55Listen, gentlemen, we've spoken enough about this now.
54:58I'm going to summarise.
55:00I don't want to hear any more from any of you, OK?
55:03I don't particularly care how many people leave today.
55:07Sergeant, a project manager is ultimately responsible
55:12for the results of a task.
55:14And here, there was a total lack of communication,
55:17a total lack of strategy.
55:20It's very, very poor.
55:22Harrison, you talk well.
55:25You haven't impressed me at all.
55:28You've been a sub-team leader a couple of times
55:31and not been very successful.
55:34And Ross, the genius, well, maybe you are a genius.
55:39Maybe it's unfair to lay the blame
55:43of a task on somebody that did nothing.
55:46But on the other hand,
55:48I wonder whether you're really made for business.
55:50Having said all that,
55:53Sergeant, your explanation of why you should remain here
55:56was not really good enough.
55:59However, Ross, you are a very articulate fellow.
56:03But I believe, and I say this very respectfully,
56:06you are a fish out of the water in this process.
56:09And for that reason, I wish you all the best.
56:12But Ross, you're fired.
56:14Thank you for the opportunity.
56:16It was really... I appreciate the opportunity.
56:19Good luck.
56:28Sugar, I must say it was...
56:29No, don't, don't. You dig yourself a bigger hole.
56:32Sorry.
56:37It's early issue in the process.
56:39You've caught me on a good day.
56:41Go back to the house, the pair of you.
56:43I pause this one, sugar. Thank you.
56:45I generally do believe Lord Shivers made a mistake.
56:49I knew this task wasn't the one for me.
57:07I knew I'd be fighting against the tide on this one.
57:10Unfortunately, that's why I got fired, and it sucks.
57:13and it sucks I don't think sergeant and harris deserve Scott I'll be
57:20devastated if they don't come back so you think Ross is the weaker one out of
57:23three yeah 100% was it obvious Ross was going no I was shocked I thought it was
57:38me you or both of us there's another five tasks to go so you better pull up your
57:43socks kids
