00:00Hello, I'm Angela Scanlon and welcome to The Apprentice Unfinished Business.
00:04The companion...
00:05...show that picks up exactly where Lord Sugar's pointy finger leaves off.
00:09I'll be joined each week...
00:10...by brilliant guests to dissect the tasks and get some business tips and insights to...
00:15...we'll also bring you exclusive chats with the fired candidates.
00:18Now, a quick word of warning...
00:20...if you haven't watched Episode 1 of Series 20.
00:22What are you doing, frankly?
00:23But stop.
00:24Head over to...
00:25...for iPlayer to catch up and save yourself from some very fiery spoilers.
00:30Coming up, to celebrate the launch of the 20th Series, I'm joined by Apprentice superfan...
00:35...Ritchie Anderson, and my brand new friend from when I did Celebrity Do Brances.
00:39Have I mentioned it?
00:40Yeah, we won.
00:41Apprentice Royalty Mike Soutar is here too.
00:44And...
00:45...after a double firing, Georgina and Nicky will be here with the Apprentice lowdown.
00:49So...
00:50...for the boardroom doors unlocked...
00:51...let's get into some unfinished business.
00:55Richie, Michael, welcome.
01:00Oh, thanks for having us.
01:01So excited to be here.
01:03The very first unfinished business, right?
01:05Thank you very much.
01:06Do my job for me, Mike.
01:08You'll be back.
01:09Honestly, I...
01:10I cannot quite believe that it is the 20th anniversary of The Apprentice.
01:14Things have changed.
01:15A lot.
01:16Yes.
01:17Let's be honest.
01:18Since the show started, there's been eight Prime Ministers.
01:20Oh!
01:20Since Lord Sugar started firing people.
01:21Eight!
01:22Eight!
01:23It was also pre-smartphone, pre-Instagram.
01:25Pre-Side Hustle.
01:26It was basically a historical drama at this point.
01:29So 20 years...
01:30Two years ago, Richie, what were you up to?
01:32So 20 years ago, 2005...
01:34I don't know...
01:35I don't know if I was born, actually, Angela.
01:36No!
01:37I'm joking.
01:38Obviously.
01:39It's just the writing.
01:40What were you doing?
01:40I remember when The Apprentice first came on.
01:42The iconic orchestral theme tune.
01:45And because we didn't go and rush off to Instagram and TikTok and Facebook and all that...
01:49You weren't double-screened.
01:50We were sitting there in the cafeteria at college talking about The Apprentice.
01:54Who are...
01:55All these new candidates in their suits, running around.
01:58Lord Sugar back on television.
02:00And I just remember it was a great time when I had all my dreams laid out in front of
02:04me, obviously.
02:05I was 18.
02:06So it was pre-braces.
02:07So I had the big teeth.
02:08Beautiful.
02:09The glasses, the big...
02:10I looked like a Guess Who.
02:10It was a good character.
02:11But it was a good time for me.
02:12You know what I mean?
02:13It was a great time.
02:14I was in Copenhagen at a full...
02:15Moon Party topless.
02:16Okay.
02:17Yeah.
02:18That was me last week.
02:19Listen...
02:20If it works, it works.
02:21Mike, what were you up to?
02:23I remember The Apprentice starting...
02:25Back there, I was...
02:27At the time, I was on the board of Britain's biggest...
02:30Magazine Publishers.
02:31I had the most cushy job you could possibly imagine.
02:34I did.
02:35And The Apprentice did this amazing thing.
02:38I think alongside Dragon's Den...
02:40Which came out in the same six-week period.
02:42It kind of transformed the way...
02:45That people look at business.
02:47All of a sudden, people started to think in a more...
02:50Entrepreneurial way.
02:51Business wasn't a thing for just...
02:52That just business people understood.
02:54And interesting...
02:55In fact here...
02:56Within a year, I had left my cushy corporate job...
02:59And started my...
03:00My own business.
03:01And do you think that was...
03:03Because of what you saw?
03:05I think that was a period where everybody began to think...
03:09Life could be more...
03:10More than just having...
03:11A straightforward nine-to-five job.
03:14It really...
03:15Inspired so many people.
03:17And it's incredible...
03:18I think to be sitting here 20 years on.
03:20And to look at just how much it's changed.
03:22Yeah.
03:23And it did make business...
03:25Sexy.
03:26Yes.
03:27You know?
03:28It was like...
03:29Oh, those characters.
03:30You started to understand...
03:30The complexity and how glamorous.
03:31Although, you know, the day-to-day...
03:33But listen, you think...
03:34But listen, you think...
03:35Back then, right?
03:36You had people like Paul Teresi...
03:37Was in the first series...
03:38Oh, yes.
03:39Was a massive name.
03:40Yeah.
03:41So you're a con...
03:42Tim Campbell?
03:43I mean, where is he now?
03:44I don't know.
03:45It didn't work out for him.
03:45He has not aged a day.
03:48Right.
03:49Episode one.
03:50Let's...
03:50Let's get into it.
03:51It did not mess about, did it?
03:53It was absolutely supersized.
03:55We had a double firing.
03:56We had Lord Sugar giving it the 007 and...
03:59And a...
04:00Apprentice first.
04:01A boardroom.
04:02Out.
04:03Of London.
04:04Oh.
04:05Yeah.
04:05And because it's 20 years, it wasn't just 18 candidates like usual.
04:10Lord...
04:10Lord Sugar dropped two more in, bringing us to a lovely round 20.
04:15And I mean, what a bunch they are.
04:18We've got Kieran the...
04:19A big...
04:20A bit sexy.
04:21Estate agent.
04:22A bit.
04:23He's a low key, humble kind of man.
04:25Right.
04:25Roxanne, the chili pepper pocket rocket.
04:27Try saying that after a few glasses.
04:28And Daniel, who made his...
04:30First meal at 25, but...
04:32Kind of didn't.
04:33Really.
04:34It's...
04:35It's a...
04:35Big thing to see when I made my first million.
04:38And then you find out that would turn over.
04:40Yeah.
04:41That's before costs.
04:42So shall we talk about the profit?
04:43Oh, a profit of maybe a tenner?
04:45It doesn't matter.
04:46Sounds good on Instagram.
04:47Do you know what I mean?
04:48Times are changing.
04:50It's all fluff.
04:51Richie, who stood out?
04:53Well, every year when The Apprentice comes...
04:55Me and my family have like an apprentice sweepstake.
04:58So we put all of the candidates into a...
05:00We put 50p in each.
05:01And then we all draw out a name.
05:03So I've got Kieran this year.
05:04High mistake.
05:05I know.
05:05Also, because there's two extra candidates, it rounds up to 20 quid this year.
05:08No, a tenner?
05:09This is why I'll be bad on the...
05:1050p in each.
05:11Is that a tenner?
05:12It's a good few.
05:13Who knows?
05:14Have you got any room for any...
05:15more people to join the sweepstake?
05:17Well, this is it.
05:18Because we were blindsided by the two new...
05:20candidates.
05:21We do need two more.
05:22I'll give you 50p.
05:23Oh, there you go.
05:24Who got my 50 as well?
05:25We'll have to take it away.
05:25With me.
05:26So I absolutely love Kieran.
05:27I think he's brilliant.
05:28Do you love him or do you love him because he got him?
05:30I love him because I got him.
05:31Great.
05:32So, you know, I've got to back my boy.
05:33Yeah.
05:34But I'm loving Karishma.
05:35I mean, she's got...
05:35She's just fabulous.
05:36She's so fierce.
05:37And also...
05:38She's so funny too.
05:39The way she was able to think on her.
05:40feet with that negotiation.
05:42I love Connor.
05:43He is the ultimate, like, passenger...
05:45seat driver.
05:46Oh dear.
05:47And I feel like Kieran was the PM, but Connor was the CEO.
05:50On this channel.
05:51Connor was 100% CEO.
05:53Mike.
05:54I really like Priesh.
05:55Uh, I just think he's got that kind of bubbly sense of enthusiasm that...
06:00He's going to get him through the process.
06:02Yes.
06:03OK.
06:04Does he have killer instinct though?
06:05To me, he's like teddy bear material.
06:07I mean, I wonder whether he might toughen up.
06:10Well, let's talk about the specifics of this week's task.
06:14A fan favourite.
06:15Discount buying.
06:16The candidates were tasked with finding...
06:20nine items for the very best price.
06:22Yes.
06:23In Hong Kong.
06:24It's my absolute favourite as well.
06:25Um, why do you think this is such a gem of a task?
06:28Oh, for me, the discount...
06:30Yeah.
06:31Yeah.
06:32It's like Blackpool to Strictly.
06:33You know what I mean?
06:34Yeah.
06:35I feel like it's...
06:35It's the one that all the candidates want to be involved in.
06:37And because it's the first task, they don't really know each other and they're...
06:40their personalities.
06:41Yeah.
06:42So you're kind of thrown into the bear pit with this one.
06:44But it's almost like the...
06:45the discount buying aspect of this task was somewhat forgotten because...
06:50they couldn't, like, find the thing.
06:53So the actual negotiation...
06:55negotiation was less of a... an issue in a way.
06:58But I think, you know, a task like this is...
07:00it's a procurement task, right?
07:01Yeah.
07:02So if you're in procurement, what you need to know is what's the...
07:05spec of the product that you're trying to buy?
07:07Yeah.
07:08And how much are you willing to pay for it?
07:09And that is the basis then.
07:10for all the negotiation.
07:11And it does feel like there was a...
07:13and maybe that's, like, first week.
07:15you know, first task panic.
07:17You know, I think both sides struggled.
07:19Yeah.
07:20But I just think there was...
07:20there was no...
07:21there was just no structure to follow with it.
07:23It was given supermarket sweep.
07:24It's as if they...
07:25Hong Kong has got four walls.
07:27We're going to be contained
07:28and all we have to do is...
07:29Womble around and...
07:30find these.
07:31But no, no, no.
07:32Also, it's...
07:33you know, Hong Kong is an extraordinary place.
07:34You know, it is...
07:35Hong Kong is the absolute centre of commerce and deal making.
07:38But it's vast.
07:39Yeah.
07:40When they were looking at those maps in the brainstorm...
07:42Logistically.
07:43They were going, well, we'll start in the north.
07:45And you guys start in the south.
07:46There are tens of miles between those things.
07:49Yeah.
07:50The...
07:50travel time that it takes between those.
07:51Yeah.
07:52They just didn't grab the bull by the horns from the...
07:55very beginning.
07:56Yeah.
07:57If they'd started small, then maybe they could have...
07:59they could have...
08:00managed to...
08:01to build up more items as they went along.
08:03But you know what?
08:04In their defence, I do...
08:05do you think it's so hard when you are following an actual map?
08:08So last year when me and Dean, we went on a cruise.
08:10And before we got on the cruise...
08:11Are you saying you got lost on a boat?
08:13Well, yes.
08:14No, no, no.
08:15On a boat.
08:15Before we got on the cruise, we boarded the boat in Athens.
08:17Okay.
08:18So we had a couple of days in Athens.
08:19And I said, because it's a beautiful...
08:20beautiful country, beautiful city we've never been to.
08:22Let's go around without our phones and just follow a map.
08:25And it's easy...
08:26Honestly, Mike, you're looking at me, it's easily done.
08:28You did it by choice.
08:29We were nearly in another...
08:30in another part of Greece.
08:31Honestly, I was two hours late for the boat, nearly.
08:33I mean, I'm not investing.
08:36Let's talk about the winning team.
08:38The boys.
08:39Even though they won, they didn't...
08:40exactly cover themselves in glory, did they?
08:43They were kind of like the least...
08:45bad of the two teams, weren't they?
08:48Ultimately, Lord Sugar was...
08:50completely unimpressed.
08:53Oh.
08:54Have you ever seen him?
08:55so despondent.
08:56Week one, especially.
08:58Look, I've...
08:59I've never...
09:00never seen him so disappointed...
09:02Oh, yeah.
09:03...so early on.
09:04But listen...
09:05you know, if...
09:06if you're going to disappoint Lord Sugar, definitely don't make him fly 12...
09:10and a half hours...
09:11to Hong Kong.
09:12Exactly.
09:13Especially not an economy.
09:14I mean, there's no...
09:15there's no leg room back there.
09:17And he's got long legs.
09:19Absolutely.
09:20You know what I mean?
09:21Me.
09:22A little something special.
09:23Okay.
09:24I did a celebrity...
09:25apprentice.
09:26I don't know whether I've mentioned it.
09:27I may have won or I may have not.
09:28Google it.
09:29Anyway, Lord Sugar has...
09:30since...
09:31followed me on Instagram.
09:32Big time.
09:33I know.
09:34And...
09:35we've kicked it off...
09:35a notch.
09:36He sent me a voice memo.
09:37No.
09:38Here's what he would have done differently.
09:40Oh, hang on.
09:41I play him at 1.5.
09:42Don't tell him.
09:43Please.
09:44Angela, this is one of my favourite tasks.
09:49Because it should be ridiculously simple.
09:51Yet every year, they make the same...
09:54mistakes.
09:55Now, the first thing I'd do is...
09:57Don't panic.
09:58Really...
09:59read the paperwork I provide.
10:01All the clues are in there.
10:03And make sure...
10:04at least one person can read a bloody map.
10:07The split.
10:09The list.
10:10Then you split the list.
10:12Get on the phone.
10:14Find an item.
10:15Have a clear destination.
10:17Don't assume.
10:19Running around like headless chickens.
10:22Gets you nowhere.
10:23Remember...
10:24Don't be afraid to walk away...
10:26from a bad deal.
10:28Just say no.
10:29Fair points.
10:30All of them.
10:31He's still fuming.
10:32Absolutely.
10:33Live it.
10:34He's like 20 of you.
10:35One of you.
10:36Impress me.
10:39Yeah.
10:40I mean, I think...
10:41He's spot on with it.
10:43The point he makes is...
10:44You start with a plan.
10:46You start with a strategy.
10:47And you go from there.
10:48I would say...
10:49You start with a strategy.
10:50You start with a strategy.
10:51And you go from there.
10:52I would say...
10:53To face Lord Sugar's famous firing finger.
10:56Let us remind her.
10:57Let us remind her.
10:58Let us remind ourselves...
10:59Of that very moment.
11:00Yes.
11:01You put yourself forward...
11:02As the project.
11:03Manager.
11:04Very brave.
11:05But...
11:06You...
11:08It was two hours late.
11:10And...
11:11You only got one item.
11:13And you were the overall project manager.
11:16Lord Sugar can I ask?
11:17No, you can't.
11:18Uh...
11:19And so...
11:20It is...
11:21With regret...
11:22That...
11:23You are fine.
11:24Thank you Lord Sugar.
11:25Bye.
11:26Thank you Lord Sugar.
11:27Bye.
11:28Bye.
11:28It's Nikki, everybody!
11:33Welcome, it's so, so lovely to have you.
11:38I'm sorry it's so soon, Nikki.
11:40I know, I know, I know.
11:41How was it watching The Taskbar?
11:43That whole process is such a long, we was there for like almost a week.
11:47So for it to be...
11:48It's kind of condensed down into just one hour and it's the whole meeting Lord Sugar to begin with.
11:53Flying out to Hong Kong, doing the task, the firing, everything and then it's...
11:58Literally 60 minutes, it's crazy.
12:01But no, it was fun.
12:02We had...
12:03We did have lots of fun doing it, so...
12:05It looked like you did not.
12:07LAUGHTER
12:08I was stressed watching you, but you did put yourself forward for PM first.
12:13Task, a very, very brave move so early on.
12:18Looking back at that decision, do you stand over that? Are you happy with that?
12:23I went in saying, I'm going to put myself out there straight away.
12:28Regardless of the task, I wanted to be bold and make a statement.
12:33And I just thought I could...
12:34I can take control.
12:35I felt like we weren't really a team, everyone.
12:38It was very much, you know, individual, paying for themselves.
12:41And I didn't know anyone straight away.
12:43I didn't know any strengths either.
12:44So...
12:45But I...
12:46I did what I said I was going to do.
12:48And I...
12:48I said, I'm just going to go in and I'm going to be strong.
12:51Put myself out there.
12:52Obviously...
12:53I didn't pay off.
12:54But...
12:55But I like the energy.
12:56You were like, I don't care what the task...
12:58What skills are required of me?
12:59I'm going in.
13:00Kim Kardashian is an inspiration of yours.
13:02Yes.
13:03That feels quite Kim K.
13:04Yeah.
13:05She's like acting sure.
13:06I'll do it.
13:07Billionaire...
13:08Sign me up.
13:09Yeah.
13:10With like the whole Kim K thing, like as in...
13:13I know she's got a lot of negative media and press, but if you look at her, she is a powerhouse.
13:18Yeah.
13:19She's a mum.
13:20She's a billionaire.
13:21She's a businesswoman.
13:22She's got a law degree.
13:23Like she...
13:23She's got everything going on.
13:25So I look at her and think she is an inspiration.
13:28I'm...
13:28I'm a mum.
13:29I was like the only one on there with like two like really young kids as well.
13:33Yeah.
13:33So...
13:34Yeah.
13:35And again, it's...
13:36That in itself is a challenge, you know.
13:38Like...
13:38Like leaving your kids.
13:39Huge.
13:40And again, they're so little.
13:41So it's...
13:42It's a lot.
13:43It's a lot.
13:44Did the two...
13:43Do kids enjoy watching you or do they understand it?
13:47They will see...
13:48See me on a screen.
13:49But again, they're still very little.
13:51So I don't think they'll fully...
13:53fully understand like what I've gone away and done.
13:56But obviously now we're in this generation.
13:58I can record it.
13:59I can save it.
14:00I can show it to them later and just show like, you know, you can...
14:03Do it all.
14:04And also maybe what you can say to them is, you know, Lord Sugar points at the...
14:08The people he really likes.
14:09Yeah.
14:10Yeah.
14:11Yeah.
14:12That's a beautiful way.
14:13I can tell the many...
14:13What do you think?
14:14I won.
14:15I was the winner.
14:16I think you should be...
14:18So, so proud yourself and I'm sure they will be too.
14:22I just wanted to go...
14:23I just wanted to go in and just show like, you know, like being a mum isn't...
14:26End of everything.
14:27You can still do everything.
14:28Yeah.
14:29So that's why I just wanted to go in strong and lead everyone.
14:33Very inspiring.
14:34Did you, did you kind of, do you think in retrospect you...
14:38Missed out on the planning part of the task?
14:40Because it's all very well being brilliant and negotiating.
14:43Yeah.
14:44But unless you're actually in a position where you can show how good you are at negotiating,
14:47it's a bit difficult.
14:48Yeah.
14:48It felt to me like the girls team were out there without really having an operational.
14:53plan to go alongside the negotiation strategy.
14:56Yeah, definitely.
14:57I think when we were...
14:58Because in like the brainstorm, we supposedly had this good idea.
15:02We thought we had...
15:03mapped out of the items and we said, we can start at in this location that, you know,
15:07the heart, the sub team can...
15:08we'll start at that part of the island and we'll start at the other part of the island.
15:11And we felt like we had a really...
15:13good, strong idea of where the items were.
15:16But it felt like you didn't really...
15:18look at the information.
15:19Do you know what I mean?
15:22Like there was quite...
15:23You need a bit of information.
15:24You're like shrimp paste.
15:25Anyone?
15:26Let's go looking for...
15:27You spent a lot of time looking.
15:28for shrimp paste.
15:29Yeah.
15:30So with the shrimp paste...
15:31Tell me, Nikki.
15:32It's...
15:33It's...
15:33supposedly really common in Hong Kong.
15:35So it's like we could...
15:36Supposedly.
15:37Supposedly.
15:38Supposedly.
15:39We could get it anywhere.
15:40Okay.
15:41And it was an easy...
15:42Who said that?
15:43All the...
15:43All the locals that said that.
15:44Okay.
15:45Everyone we spoke to said...
15:46Oh, yep, shrimp paste.
15:47You know, like there's fish markets.
15:48They're...
15:48Known for fish.
15:49That, you know, they're like...
15:50They're like their seafood.
15:51So we thought it was an easy...
15:53We win.
15:54And the areas that we were in...
15:56Supposedly had shrimp paste.
15:57But we were...
15:58We were just...
15:59Running around like headless chickens.
16:00We don't have anything.
16:01We don't have any phones.
16:02So we just go...
16:03Going with local knowledge.
16:04Um...
16:05Which obviously completely sent us down...
16:07The wrong way.
16:08But...
16:08Literally down the wrong way.
16:09Literally down the wrong way.
16:10Into a spot of trouble, actually.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Let's have a look at this.
16:17Guys, I don't know...
16:18Keep going.
16:19Oh God.
16:20There are dogs everywhere.
16:21Guys, where the hell are we going?
16:23I don't know.
16:24Guys, I'm scared.
16:25I don't deal well with dogs.
16:27I don't either.
16:28We think it's the right place.
16:30I thought we'd lost you, Nicky.
16:31Don't die!
16:33No, did I.
16:34First ever.
16:35Twenty years in.
16:36Gone.
16:37Ravaged.
16:38By Wild Dogs.
16:39You also lost your driver.
16:40I mean, that's a bit of me, to be fair.
16:43If I had one.
16:44You know?
16:45With the driver scenario, every time we went somewhere.
16:48And exited or left the shop.
16:50The driver was always there.
16:52This time.
16:53Went to a location.
16:54Came back out.
16:55And the driver wasn't there.
16:56It was the driver's fault.
16:57What was the...
16:58The first thing that popped into your head when you got to the top of the stairs in front
17:01of the Buddha.
17:02It was night time.
17:03Karen had gone home.
17:04Tim had gone home.
17:05The boys weren't there.
17:07What was the first thing...
17:08What was the first thing you thought when you got to the top?
17:09We asked great.
17:10And you were right.
17:11What was the first thing you thought when you got to the top?
17:12We asked great.
17:13And you were right.
17:13Okay.
17:14Nikki, thank you so much for being such a brilliant sponsor.
17:18In short, we wish you the very best of luck in whatever is next for you.
17:22Nikki, everybody!
17:25Okay.
17:26Well, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.
17:28for sub-team leader Georgie either.
17:30Let's remind ourselves of her firing.
17:32I think...
17:33you're your own worst enemy.
17:36You come in here...
17:38You bring two people in and you say they shouldn't be here.
17:43And so you leave me nowhere to go.
17:48Georgina, regretfully, you're fired.
17:51Thank you, Lodge again.
17:53Thank you for having us working.
17:54Thank you, Tim.
18:02Georgie!
18:03Yay!
18:04Lovely to have you here.
18:07You are way...
18:08You are way too nice for business.
18:09Karen said that you were a little emotional.
18:12Mm-hmm.
18:13But...
18:13You didn't come to play.
18:14You went straight in for PM and ended as sub-team leader.
18:18Exactly.
18:19No, punchy.
18:20Yeah, I don't think I'm too nice.
18:21I think kindness is, you know...
18:23It's cool to be kind, right?
18:24Yeah.
18:25I don't think kindness is weakness at all.
18:26And I definitely think everybody thought...
18:28that was the case.
18:29But, you know, maybe everyone's opinion of what a businesswoman should be.
18:33Is wrong.
18:34Should change.
18:35Should change.
18:36And it's not me.
18:37I felt like you were the ultimate...
18:38Hype girl.
18:39Yeah.
18:40The ultimate hype girl.
18:41You're passionate.
18:42You're beautiful.
18:43You're brilliant.
18:43Powerful women.
18:44I was like, that's the kind of woman you want to wake up with in your head.
18:47Well, there you go.
18:48You know?
18:49I loved it.
18:50What went wrong?
18:51Well, what didn't go wrong?
18:52No!
18:53I don't know.
18:54I think...
18:55I put myself forward to be PM, obviously.
18:56And I was really looking forward to doing that.
18:58Because I, you know, I don't know...
19:00I didn't necessarily know exactly what we were going to do, but I do feel like...
19:03I'm a good leader and I'm good at bringing people together, you know?
19:06And we could have all used our heads to find...
19:08out the answers for it.
19:09And I don't know.
19:10I just think, yeah, they didn't believe in me from the get, which is fine.
19:13It's fine.
19:14It happens.
19:15But yeah.
19:16Well, I think that we have got to go...
19:18straight to one of the most memorable moments of the entire task, where you performed a
19:22little jingle.
19:23And you're still on the spot for a Marjong set.
19:24Now, I have form in the jingle space.
19:28If you saw the celebrity version.
19:30Right.
19:31Gary the Penguin.
19:32If I...
19:33If you say, Gary the Penguin.
19:34What do you say?
19:35Gary the Penguin.
19:36Do, do, boo, do.
19:37Do, do, boo, do.
19:38Gary the Penguin.
19:39Do, do, do, do.
19:40Do, do, do.
19:41Gary the Penguin.
19:42Do, do, do.
19:43Don't leave me hanging, Georgie.
19:45Do, do, do, do.
19:46Limp.
19:47I was duping.
19:48Let's...
19:48Do, do, do, do.
19:49Okay.
19:50Are you ready?
19:51Five, six, seven...
19:52Go!
19:53Go!
19:53Global, Madam, is where it begun.
19:56Global, the media.
19:58Global, the media.
20:00Global, the media.
20:02Global, the media.
20:03Global, the media.
20:04Global, the media.
20:05Global, the media.
20:06Global, the media.
20:07Global, the media.
20:08Global, the media.
20:09Global, the media.
20:10Global, the media.
20:11Global, the media.
20:12Global, the media.
20:13Global, the media.
20:14Global, the media.
20:15Global, the media.
20:16Global, the media.
20:17Global, the media.
20:08I mean, come on.
20:10So good.
20:11I honestly.
20:12Fun.
20:13I was shouting at the screen when I saw you go, five, six, seven, eight, and oh, it was.
20:18It was supreme.
20:20It was described as an incredible bespoke one.
20:23It was a million tagline.
20:24Wow.
20:25So your hype girl was kind of, you know, that was bleeding.
20:28It was made into the rest of the group, but was having an effect.
20:31Yeah, definitely.
20:32I was buzzing when.
20:33And Karishma said, hey, Georgie's going to sing you a song.
20:36I was like, let's go.
20:37Yeah.
20:38That was really fun.
20:39And it was a great song.
20:40Can I just say on radio too.
20:42When people put out.
20:43New song.
20:44Yeah.
20:45All new songs.
20:46I get straight to the hook.
20:47Straight to the point.
20:48And you did that.
20:49There was no.
20:48Build up.
20:49There was no bridge.
20:50It's a hit.
20:51It is an absolute banger.
20:53It's Richie's record of the week.
20:54It is.
20:55There we go.
20:56There we go.
20:57I was surprised.
20:58I was surprised.
20:58That woman was like, I'll give you 10%.
21:03That woman was like, I'll give you 10%.
21:03Like 10% is a student discount, do you know what I mean?
21:05You have that button by default, anyone can press.
21:08She's like, I'll give you 10% dance for your supper.
21:11She was my unsung hero.
21:12Anyone.
21:13That stood out for you guys.
21:14I love the lady in Chunky Stationery.
21:18The one who sold the pineapple paper, but it wasn't the pineapple paper they wanted.
21:23Cause she thought, okay, you're offering me this money.
21:25I mean, you're paying well over the odds for that.
21:27You take it away.
21:28She could have stepped in and said, that's not exactly what you need, but she's a savvy
21:31business there.
21:32She should be getting the.
21:33So you respected the ruthless dagger.
21:38Approach.
21:38She closed up when they left the shop because she made the day profit.
21:41You know what I mean?
21:43What about you, Mike?
21:45Anyone who stood out?
21:46Well, listen.
21:48I mean, not a candidate, but I really loved the Air Who guy.
21:53Who, they'd made the, they'd bought it.
21:56They'd got a decent deal, Presh.
21:58She got a really decent deal.
21:59And then they stood there for the best part of half an hour as this guy.
22:03Re-tuned an instrument they were never going to use.
22:06I know.
22:06And they were just all so off.
22:08Awkward and polite.
22:09I mean, if I was there, I'd have picked the guy up.
22:13With the Air Who and taking him into the cab.
22:15Would you really though, Mike?
22:17Because I think you.
22:18Your manners are all so impeccable.
22:19It was this kind of.
22:21It was like it times.
22:23Slowed down and they were all twiddling their thumbs.
22:24And they did attempt to interject a couple of times.
22:27But he.
22:28He was like in a meditative zone.
22:30I think you have to find a way to be.
22:33able to intervene in a situation in a way that doesn't offend people, but does remind.
22:38them that you are on a very, very strict deadline.
22:41Now, you didn't get an Air Who.
22:42No.
22:43I didn't know what it was.
22:44So did you think, Nikki, bring back your guys.
22:46You were like, oh, phew.
22:47Starting.
22:48To melt slightly.
22:49A little bit.
22:49Yeah.
22:49Like I was fully expecting them to be like, okay, Georgie's coming back.
22:53Cool.
22:53I'm aware of that.
22:53Okay.
22:54And then Nikki would bring back one of her guys and then they would squabble together.
22:57And then I would just.
22:58Charm Lord Sugar.
22:59Okay.
23:00And get the stay.
23:01You know, that's what I thought was going to happen.
23:02And it did not go.
23:03I didn't really see you see the reason you shouldn't be.
23:08getting rid of me is blank, bang and bang.
23:10That is a regret because I was so focused on trying not to upset them.
23:13the girls that were next to me, right?
23:14I was so focused on them and their feelings and their future and their businesses.
23:18And every, I wasn't thinking about me and in hindsight, who would you have nailed?
23:23That's mean.
23:24Do you know what?
23:24The only reason.
23:26You're so lovely.
23:28Tell us.
23:29I just think I needed a lot of help with figuring out where.
23:33we were and what we were doing.
23:33And I think had we have got to the Mahjong place quicker, we would have had time to get
23:37the tea cake because.
23:38We knew where that was and that was next on the list.
23:40We would have had time to get that.
23:41Then we would have had two products and it wouldn't have been so bad.
23:43So maybe a bit more help from all of them with directions.
23:47You did so.
23:48You did so much.
23:48You did.
23:49Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
23:51Why?
23:51Come on.
23:52I think that's all right.
23:53I don't know.
23:53Whoa, whoa.
23:53Direct question.
23:54Yeah.
23:54Who would you have got rid of?
23:56Do you not think that's quite clever that I scuttered?
23:58all the way around that without giving you.
23:59She is scared.
24:00Not if everybody in the room notices.
24:02She's very charming.
24:03Nobody did but you, you're throwing me under the bus now.
24:05Go on, who?
24:06Carrington.
24:07Dawn.
24:08But it's hindsight.
24:09Hindsight.
24:10But she still did a great job.
24:11She got so much better.
24:12Oh, stop.
24:13You fired her.
24:14You fired her.
24:15I do think there was a bit of that.
24:16You attempted to make phone calls.
24:18You were actually like very proactive and it did feel sometimes like you may.
24:23have actually done better had you dropped a bit of dead weight and pelted up the hill on
24:27your own.
24:28This sounds.
24:28It's really harsh.
24:29But yeah, if I'd have just done it on my own, I think it would have been a more successful
24:33day.
24:33Yeah.
24:34But it's all right.
24:35But also, Karishma.
24:36And Karishma, yeah.
24:37Karishma took all the...
24:38All the credit.
24:39She did.
24:40Because obviously it was her idea for you to do the song.
24:41Yeah.
24:42But you came up with the song.
24:43Yeah.
24:44I mean, some of the others in the background, I'm not being funny, were just clapping along.
24:47They weren't really singing.
24:48I felt like you should have really owned that.
24:50And you were sat next to Roxanne, who didn't really contribute.
24:53as much.
24:54I know.
24:55Guys, it is a lot.
24:56There's a lot of...
24:57No, do you know what?
24:58It's happened...
24:58It's finished.
24:59Oh my gosh.
25:00Couldn't write it.
25:01Now, I have set my guests...
25:03their own task this week.
25:04Ooh.
25:05This week.
25:06Mm-hmm.
25:07Don't look so surprised.
25:08They picked the song that they think best represents how...
25:13they feel the task went in something I like to call boardroom bangers.
25:17Oh.
25:18I know.
25:19It's good.
25:20Mike, what have you gone for?
25:21I've picked something that I...
25:23I think sums up the almost impossibility of that final run.
25:28In terms of what?
25:29I've picked...
25:30Up The Steps.
25:31I've picked...
25:32This....
25:33Yes!
25:35Ah, way to hell!
25:38Oh, it's good.
25:40Richie, how about you?
25:41Well, I'm going to go back to the mid...
25:432000s, when The Apprentice first popped onto our screens.
25:46And I've gone for this.
25:48Maybe you got the keys.
25:51Shut up and drive.
25:53I'm going to go back to the mid...
25:58And that's in tribute to the runaway driver who made Nicky's team...
26:03We thought it was two hours, nearly three hours late.
26:06I mean, where was he?
26:07Come on, where was he?
26:08I love the sentiment, but I feel like he did shut up and drive just with nobody in the back of the car.
26:13That was the problem, Angela.
26:15Okay, first task is over.
26:17Yeah.
26:18At the very end of the episode, the next task is going to be children's...
26:23books.
26:24I've actually got an exclusive clip right here.
26:28I would also just like to make a point.
26:30I was actually counting the pages and we've missed like...
26:33two or three of the pages out of the book.
26:36You didn't want to mention that earlier...
26:38Because...
26:39Can we just zoom out?
26:41No, I'm sorry.
26:42This is exactly why earlier on I said...
26:43We should be numbering the pages so we're keeping on track.
26:46No.
26:47Tim's face.
26:48Oh, Tim's over it.
26:49He's absolutely livid.
26:52How would you...
26:53approach this task, Mike?
26:54Oh, I think if you're going to go into publishing...
26:58you need to be very clear that the product is the most important thing.
27:03So...
27:03a great book will sell itself.
27:05If you're going to produce a book and the pages...
27:08are, say, in the wrong order or missing, that's not a promising start.
27:14Oh, what a treat.
27:15Thank you so much, gang.
27:16That was absolutely wonderful.
27:18Best of luck, Georgie.
27:20With whatever you do, I'm sure we'll be seeing lots more of you.
27:23Thank you for having me.
27:25Thank you, everyone.
27:28Thank you to our fired candidates, Nicky and Georgie, and of course to Richie Anderson
27:32and Mike Sutar for all...
27:33all their insights and opinions.
27:36And if you think...
27:38you have what it takes to be Lord Sugar's next business partner.
27:41Applications are still open for series...
27:43For more details, head over to bbc.co.uk forward slash apprentice.
27:48And come back next time for another chapter of Unfinished Business to find out who has...
27:53had a not so happily ever after.
27:55Until then, mind the gap between confidence...
27:58and competence.
27:59I'm Angela Scanlon.
28:00Goodbye.
28:01And it's hello to the man...
28:03who knows all when it comes to money from mortgages to tax, bridesmaids dresses to capital...
