00:00your life. Lord Sugar is on the hunt for the next big thing. This is an opportunity of a lifetime.
00:08Battling for his backing, some of Britain's brightest prospects.
00:12Come on boys, get up. Your life depends on it. And then hit him. It's a deal worth fighting for.
00:19I can sense a bit of friction. Absolutely. Daniel, was that on you? No.
00:2520 candidates. Never been kicked in the balls by a goat to be honest with you.
00:28Ooh. 12 tough tasks. This is a complete and utter joke. Just jump straight in.
00:36One life-changing opportunity. You're fired. You're fired. You completely messed it up. You're fired.
00:50Previously on The Apprentice. I'm sending you to Hong Kong. You have to go and find nine items.
00:58A tough first task. Ryan, come on. Go, go, go, go, go, go.
01:02Saw the candidates crumble. We're yet to find an item. Are we going up or down?
01:08And a dismal performance from Nicky's team. Where is the driver? We don't know. We've lost our driver.
01:14Handed Kieran's boys a hollow victory. I don't call this a win. It's a bloody disgrace.
01:20Leaving Nicky. You only got one item. And Georgie. You leave me nowhere to go.
01:26In the firing line. You're fired.
01:28You don't know how serious this is until you're sat in front of Lord Sugar fighting for your life.
01:404.30am.
01:42Good morning.
01:44Good morning. Lord Sugar would like to meet you at the Paddington Bear Experience in central London.
01:49The cars will be outside in 20 minutes.
01:52All right. Thank you.
01:55Wakey, wakey, everyone. Go on, John. John. Wakey, wakey, right in the sky.
02:00We're off to Paddington Bear Experience in 20 minutes.
02:04Oh, God. What do you think it's going to be?
02:06I think it's something to do with kids.
02:08All right, let's go.
02:11I don't know what task this is, but I'm ready for it.
02:14Let's win this. Let's beat the girls. I'm sharing first.
02:18I'm a bit concerned, though, because two of the girls have just left.
02:21We can't leave now.
02:23I do not want to be back in that boardroom, because I will throw someone under the bus.
02:27I'm telling you now.
02:37The ladies right now, I know they're going to try and get vengeance.
02:41Mate, I don't lose.
02:43Come on!
02:48On the banks of the Thames, the Paddington Bear Experience.
02:55A place for family adventures and marmalade-filled mischief.
03:06Good morning. Welcome to storytime.
03:10Lawrence?
03:12Thank you, Baroness Brady.
03:16Karishma.
03:23Are you sitting comfortably?
03:26We should begin.
03:31Once upon a time, there was a very clever businessman who had a big pot of gold to share.
03:38To decide who got the gold, the clever businessman asked 20 candidates to complete a series of
03:46difficult tasks.
03:48Sure enough, a winner emerged.
03:51Someone who shone through and worthy of the gold.
03:55As for the rest of them, well, the clever businessman banished them from his boardroom,
04:01and they were never heard from again.
04:05Anyway, that's enough of that.
04:07The kids' storybook market is worth 800 million in the UK alone.
04:13So for your next task, I want you to create a story for four to six-year-olds.
04:19You'll need to produce a book and an audio version to go with it.
04:24Tomorrow, you'll be pitching to retailers, and the team that secures the most orders will be one
04:30step closer to living happily ever after.
04:35Now, ladies, you lost two of your team members in the first task.
04:39So Lord Sugar would like you to pick one of the boys to join your team.
04:48Have you made your decision?
04:49Yeah.
04:50And who is it you're selecting?
04:52Levi.
04:53Levi, please join the ladies' team.
04:59All clear?
05:01Off you go.
05:05Two days.
05:07Children's story.
05:08Thank you for picking me.
05:09I know it's not always put your hands up, so melted.
05:13Turning tall tales into sky-high sails.
05:17Kids' storybook.
05:18Kids' storybook.
05:19Sounds like a really fun task.
05:21Page one.
05:22We can just literally go wild.
05:23Letting the inner child come out.
05:25Yeah.
05:26Pick a project manager.
05:28I personally would like to nominate myself to be PM.
05:31I've got a four-year-old child.
05:33Anyone else want to nominate themselves?
05:34I think because you've got a kid, it makes the most obvious choice as well.
05:37I would like to just add something.
05:39Yep, sure.
05:40So I'll put my name forward.
05:41I feel like I let you boys down a little bit last week.
05:43I think I've got some great ideas, which I'd like to share with the team, if chosen.
05:48Okay, let's take it to a vote now then.
05:50For Marcus, put your hands up.
05:52Perfect.
05:52That's sort of.
05:53Amazing.
05:53Amazing.
05:57On the other team...
05:58I'd like to put myself forward.
06:00This is completely my bag.
06:02Setting out her story...
06:04I've got five children, all being in that age range.
06:07Property expert, Andrea.
06:10I'm a school governor, background in preschool.
06:14I mean, I have personal experience of a written book, which were a giraffe,
06:18and it's been a major hit.
06:20Yeah.
06:21Okay, fab.
06:21Absolutely, yeah.
06:22Right, so who votes for Andrea?
06:25I think it's you then.
06:28Andrea over PM.
06:29Oh, I'm so honoured.
06:32We are going to win today.
06:33I'm so excited.
06:34Honestly, if we don't get this, you know, I'll happily be fired.
06:37If we don't win this, we've got this in the bag.
06:40Me being project manager is just about leading the team and getting to where we need to be.
06:45Yeah.
06:48Along the corridor.
06:49I've got a story idea, I think.
06:51Next for the boys.
06:52So, mine is Geno Giraffe.
06:54He's on a spaceship and his whole end goal is basically to have a poo.
06:57Flash out a plot.
07:00Do we want to go through the planets until you get to Uranus and that's where he takes the poo?
07:03Oh, no, no, no.
07:05No, no, no, no.
07:05That's, that's...
07:06Okay, um...
07:06I would suggest that seeing as someone going to space, it should be a human.
07:10We should call Astro.
07:11Can I just have one more idea?
07:13My concept would be going off something that's already there.
07:16Go look to the three bears.
07:17Every room is a different...
07:18Like, this toilet's too big.
07:19This toilet's too small.
07:20This toilet is just right.
07:22Good, good, good.
07:23I'm happy with that.
07:23Love that.
07:25The team are talking about astronauts.
07:27They're talking about toilet humour.
07:29But is it an inspirational story?
07:31Is it a spin on a fairy tale?
07:33At the moment, I've got a lot of Martians, but not a lot of meaning.
07:36Perfect, guys.
07:37So, to finalise, this boy called Astro, five years old, goes into space,
07:41and essentially, he's trying to find the perfect toilet.
07:45Brainstorming their bestseller.
07:47I had just a quick, brief idea.
07:49The preschool children, four to six, are going to be starting school.
07:52Project manager, Andrea.
07:55Could be a book about starting school, about them being nervous,
07:59trying to alleviate any worries and anxiety.
08:01That's just an idea.
08:03So, my idea is about a zebra that doesn't have any stripes.
08:08So, he's on a journey in the jungle, and along the way,
08:11he meets different animals, and they end up giving him a stripe.
08:14So, it's, like, coloured stripes.
08:16I do like that idea.
08:17Are we not using the school thing about...
08:19What is your decision? What do you want?
08:20I think we need a main character, which could be a zebra.
08:23Yeah.
08:23Then you were, like, worried about what he was going to have for the lunch.
08:26Can I just say, right now, I'm seeing it as if there's two ideas,
08:29where does the zebra do zebra-like things in a safari,
08:32or do they do things that children would do in a school?
08:34They're just bringing the school into the safari.
08:36Children would go to school. Yeah.
08:38They've got an idea about a zebra that has no stripes, and he gets his stripes,
08:42and then they're talking about the zebra being in a school.
08:44I think they've got a basis of an idea,
08:47but I don't think it's very well thought out at this stage.
08:49We've got them.
08:50Yeah, I think it's a great story, guys.
08:52I love it.
08:56Marshaling his main characters.
08:58Going into the story team, we have Tan, we have myself, we have Harry,
09:02we have Lawrence, and we have Connor, and everyone else is on design team.
09:06Business owner, Marcus.
09:09In terms of sub-team leader, I would like to make Kieran,
09:14you be sub-team leader, because you did put yourself forward earlier.
09:17Yeah, happy with that.
09:17And do you mind your rationale behind that?
09:20I mean, does he have a design agency, or...?
09:23Are you putting yourself forward?
09:24Well, because I do have a design agency,
09:27I do a lot of branding with my own company, and so...
09:29I do understand, Dan, however, due to timing,
09:31please, if we can just respect the decision for Kieran to be sub-team leader,
09:35if that's OK. So sorry about that.
09:36You got this. Thank you.
09:37Right. Amazing.
09:40I do have a few concerns.
09:41I think with Kieran being sub-team leader, it might just be his way or no way,
09:45and he doesn't have a marketing or branding background,
09:47so I can't really see what skills Kieran's bringing to the team as being sub-team leader.
09:51Right, let's do it, boys. Let's do it, boys. Come on.
09:55Who has a preference of going on the design team?
09:58OK, so the rest of us would like to go on the story team.
10:01Yeah. I would like to put myself on the sub-team leader,
10:03just because I have a lot of experience in illustration and design.
10:06Yeah, OK, sub-team leader. Thank you.
10:08Welcome. Thank you.
10:09Right, guys, please remember, we're a team,
10:11and we're going to win it as a team, OK?
10:13We've got that, guys. Sorry.
10:1710am.
10:19While half of each team head off to create their character...
10:22We haven't got an idea of what Marcus wants in terms of the creative...
10:26..I think we have to probably just make a bit of an educated decision on what we think.
10:30The rest will pin down a perfect plot.
10:34This isn't about creating a sales pipeline. It's about creating a sales poop line.
10:40One, two, three, poo.
10:42LAUGHTER
10:45Central London.
10:47Base for both design teams.
10:50Publishing house, Bonnier Books.
10:52Morning. Good morning. Nice to meet you.
10:54Hiya. Honing in on a hero.
10:57What ideas do we have for names, girls?
10:59If it's a zebra, like a Z name.
11:02Roxanne earns her stripes.
11:04I was thinking something along the lines of Zabori.
11:07Oh, that's nice.
11:08Yeah.
11:08I mean, it's a strong name. I'm happy with Zabori.
11:10Yeah, OK, yeah.
11:11All right, we've got Zabori the zebra.
11:14Without a clear steer from mission control...
11:17So, Astro the astronaut, if you can now draw a body for us, you know, almost like a...
11:22Yeah. OK, got it.
11:24Yeah.
11:24Subteam leader Kieran takes command.
11:28OK, let's get some colour on. So, please, can we have...
11:31Sorry, sorry, sorry.
11:33Everyone, stop a minute.
11:34Please, can we get some colour on the body?
11:36We're going to go for a red cuff, a red neck and a red boot.
11:44In terms of main colour, guys, let's get him his suit orange.
11:49That colour, I associate it with, like, being in prison, you know.
11:52But four- and six-year-olds aren't going to know what people wear in prison.
11:57Dan has told everybody he's an expert at designing,
12:00but when he's coming up with suggestions,
12:02the sub-team leader is actually shutting him down.
12:04I think he wants to get on with completing the task,
12:07rather than listening to members of his team who might be able to help him.
12:10Let's go outrageous on the colour for the flag.
12:12So, what about green?
12:13I'm not sure if green might be too contrasting.
12:15Right, so, can we make the flag green?
12:22Tile yard, King's Cross.
12:24So, Astro has been travelling for a very long time.
12:26He really needs a poo-hoo.
12:28While Astro gets off to a rocketing start...
12:31Very big letters down here.
12:32Yeah, yeah, yeah, perfect.
12:34Exclamation mark.
12:35Yeah, yeah.
12:36Exclamation mark.
12:37For school governor, Andrea...
12:39Right, team, you know what we're doing?
12:40You've got the brief. We're 20 pages.
12:42..a lesson in nailing the narrative.
12:45So, let's get on with the first page.
12:47Should we start straight away?
12:48Are we doing...?
12:49We need to get into the story, don't we?
12:51I think we could start off with the child leaving home.
12:53Yeah. And then the last sentence, maybe, of each page.
12:56We do, like, where, keep going, or it will be just fine.
13:00Could maybe the zebra have another friend or a sibling
13:02that's in a slightly older year?
13:03I think that's confusing.
13:04OK, I'd let...
13:06Let's come back to what we're doing again.
13:08Why don't we bring it forward?
13:09Can I just stop it there, please?
13:11Oh, we're not going to get this done.
13:12We're not talking over each other.
13:14I'm the project manager.
13:16Everybody's contents will come into this,
13:17but we can't keep interrupting,
13:19because we've got to get it down on paper.
13:21OK? Yep.
13:23There's too many people trying to be in the limelight.
13:26That is the problem.
13:27And it's trying to pull people back,
13:29because we can't finish a page, never mind a book.
13:33Let's get starry down, please.
13:34But we can't, we can't over talk.
13:36OK?
13:391.30 PM.
13:41Maybe the glasses with the big eyes,
13:43so you can amplify his eyes and make him look extra cute.
13:45Yeah, great. Fab.
13:46So let's get our straps on.
13:49Yep.
13:49While the girls zero in on their zebra...
13:52Oh, that's very cute.
13:53Introducing Zabori, guys. What do you think?
13:55Love him? Yeah.
13:56Yeah. Fantastic.
13:58For Marcus's story squad...
14:00I think we should have the same line for all of them
14:02when he knocks on the door, like,
14:03Hi, Rue. Yeah.
14:04Can I do a poo in your loo?
14:06All hopes pinned on poo.
14:10Finally, he found the perfect loo to do the most amazing poo.
14:13The kid's going to start laughing at this.
14:15Yeah, my main fear right now is the lack of conclusion.
14:17Yeah.
14:17So what's the conclusion of this story?
14:19Take it out moral.
14:19I think the end goal is that he's done the poo,
14:22and then he's fine, and he's happy.
14:24Okay, that's fine. That's good enough.
14:25Yeah.
14:27I do have a fear that we have oversimplified things.
14:30We have dumbed everything down a bit more than I did want to,
14:34but that's the role of a project manager.
14:35You have to make certain decisions,
14:37and it's a decision that I have to stick by.
14:39Okay, perfect. Let's just make it quick.
14:40Marcus, you have a four-year-old.
14:42Like, is this on brand or what he is?
14:44Yeah, and would he find it funny?
14:45Yeah, so he would actually find it funny.
14:50Clock ticking.
14:51Shall we get the script down,
14:52and then we can jot the pictures in afterwards?
14:55For Andrea's authors...
14:56Well, it makes sense.
14:57Should we just put...
14:58Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop,
14:59because I'm conscious of time.
15:00Zavari was struggling with his shoelaces.
15:02He forgot how to tie them.
15:03Yeah.
15:04A case of writer's block.
15:07I think we're done with that.
15:08No, we can't because we need to add the slogan,
15:10but it would be just fine.
15:12I know we're doing repetition,
15:13but do we necessarily need the repetition every single page?
15:16We're not going to get this box finished.
15:18That's what you wanted to add.
15:19Can we just stop, please?
15:21We're never going to get this story down.
15:23You don't even know what you're trying to do, either.
15:25You literally have Timmons.
15:26I know. How many pages have you got?
15:28We've nearly got...
15:29What's that? 12.
15:30Nearly got 12 pages.
15:31How many do you need?
15:3220.
15:34We can move.
15:35Yes, but it will be just like,
15:37we're probably putting too much words on one page,
15:39like I said.
15:40Can we just finish the book?
15:42Because we need to end the book.
15:43I know we've got to get pictures on,
15:44but we're going to have a story with no ending on.
15:49Towards the end, it was so sort of brutal,
15:52straight to the point.
15:53There was shouting.
15:54There was no sort of professionalism in the way she was delivering.
15:57And yeah, I didn't like that.
15:59We just had to get it down on paper, really,
16:01we wouldn't have added a story.
16:02I feel like a lot of things changed from what we originally discussed.
16:05From this morning to now.
16:10Mid-afternoon, in charge of designing the perfect picture book.
16:15Let's go.
16:15All right, moment of truth, guys.
16:16For Kieran's half of the boys.
16:18Okay, so they put illustrations on to help us.
16:20Let's go.
16:21Which ain't bad.
16:22A first look at their sketched out story.
16:24So you know what, it's not too busy as well,
16:26which is quite good.
16:27I'm very impressed.
16:28Yeah.
16:30For the other team.
16:31Zabori, it's time for school.
16:34Said Zabori's mum.
16:36Creative differences.
16:39Zabori was struggling with his she-laces.
16:42He forgot how to tie them, but it would be just fun.
16:45Oh, God.
16:46Oh, boy.
16:48Wait, hang on.
16:48Why is there no reference to gaining stripes?
16:51Guys, I'm not...
16:51I'm not being funny.
16:52Where is the funniness in there?
16:54But this is quite lacklustre.
16:56It's disappointing.
16:57I'm confused.
16:58Like, the whole storyline doesn't follow.
17:00There's zero creativity.
17:01That picture that we've done there has more creativity
17:04than this entire story.
17:06Didn't Angel say she's literally written a book before?
17:08The book that she wrote must have been a colouring book,
17:10because this is a travesty.
17:13I don't know what the PM team have been doing for the past
17:16couple of hours.
17:16It seems they've been twiddling their thumbs and deciding
17:19in the last five minutes, let's write a storybook,
17:21because it's pitiful.
17:22What we got back, I can't believe they've actually
17:24handed this over to us.
17:25What we're going to have to do is crack on with what we've got,
17:27and let's hope for the best.
17:31Bringing to life Astro's hunt for a loo.
17:34So, Dan, can I leave you in charge of aliens?
17:38Yeah.
17:38Sub-team leader Kieran is back at the controls.
17:42OK, so look, I've got an alien here, so that's my alien design.
17:46Do you want to...
17:46Should we add a bit more detail into it?
17:48Not just a two-second sketch?
17:49You know, think about it, Dan.
17:51Think of colours.
17:52Think of size.
17:52Think of shapes.
17:53OK?
17:54So, in the meantime, Dave...
17:56I'm not quite sure just yet whether I think...
17:58We haven't got time, Dan.
17:58Please, may I have Astro and the three aliens coming down the page.
18:02OK, Dan, describe your three aliens.
18:05Like I said, let's keep it simple.
18:06Just do one alien, we'll change the colour.
18:08Look, that's the image there.
18:09Do you want to describe it to the gentleman?
18:13Do you want me to describe it or you can look with your eyes?
18:16I can do it, yeah, I can do it.
18:19Some of my points aren't being heard because I think he's in a frantic rush to get everything
18:22completed, but yeah, I think Kieran just needs to listen to us a little bit more and stop being
18:25very abrupt and abrasive in some of his words and the way that he's speaking to us.
18:29OK, next page, please.
18:31Hang on, should we not put numbers on the pages, guys?
18:34At the end?
18:35Because that's a very simple thing to do.
18:37I know, but you keep saying at the end, Kieran, but I can't see an ending.
18:40I need 24 pages complete.
18:42Once I've got images and text, we can then add, because again, it's very minimal.
18:50North London, recording studio 2020.
18:55Zabori, it's time for school.
18:59While Andrea's team lay down the story of Zabori.
19:03Would you like my green apple?
19:06Next chapter for Marcus's boys.
19:09Please, Ru, can I do a poo in your loo?
19:12Narrating Astro's epic quest.
19:15Do you want to do for Doo-Doo Land?
19:19Something like that.
19:20These guys like it?
19:21Are we in?
19:22I'm happy with that.
19:22Let's do it.
19:23That's a bit too much, though.
19:25I'm picturing myself with my four-year-old son, listening to his audiobook.
19:28I'm happy with that.
19:29So yeah, let's do it, boys.
19:30Let's go.
19:31Can I kiss him?
19:32OK.
19:33Dun-dun.
19:36That's fine.
19:435pm.
19:45For Karishma and the girls.
19:47We have to remember to do the continuation of the stripes as they add.
19:49Finishing touches.
19:51So page 11, yellow stripe added.
19:54What's on page 12?
19:55It will be just fine.
19:58This is like actually making the most out of like very little.
20:01OK, cool.
20:02Next page.
20:03Can you put Zabori talking to the lion on that page and just let's make them both a little bit
20:08smaller?
20:09OK.
20:09Yeah.
20:10OK, cool.
20:10Next page, please.
20:11On this page, can we move this text down into the empty gap?
20:14Yeah, nice, nice.
20:15That's perfect.
20:16Yeah, that looks great.
20:17Yeah.
20:17Yeah, that's nice.
20:18Fantastic.
20:19It will be just fine.
20:24Their whole concept initially was a zebra who gains colourful stripes.
20:28That whole message has been lost.
20:30It's not in the narrative.
20:32It's just a visual in the storybook.
20:34I think we did the best we could.
20:36Yeah, and to be honest, it does look good.
20:38I've seen children's books.
20:39They, we did well.
20:43For the boys.
20:44OK, guys, come on.
20:45We're almost there.
20:46Let's get this done, please.
20:47Yeah.
20:47Print deadline looming.
20:49For this, guys, it's going to be 21.
20:51This is going to be page 21.
20:53A plot twist.
20:56I would also just like to make a point.
20:58I was actually counting the pages and we've missed like two or three of the pages out of the book.
21:04You didn't want to mention the early one.
21:06No, because...
21:06Sorry, can we just zoom out?
21:09This is exactly why earlier on I said we should be numbering the pages so we're keeping on track.
21:15OK, that one I think is the one that we missed out.
21:16Right.
21:17We can't do anything about it now.
21:18OK, guys, I've got to send this off to the printers now.
21:22OK.
21:25This team have wasted so much time.
21:27They've ended up with an incomplete book and there's two pages missing any illustrations at all.
21:31Having a book with no pictures for a four to six year old, I think is unforgivable.
21:37Yes, we've missed illustrations on two pages, but we've got a book.
21:42I think those two pages, what we can say is that kids can draw.
21:45Yeah.
21:45They can put their imagination in.
21:487pm.
21:50Stories told.
21:51We've done it.
21:53We've made a masterpiece.
21:54An absolute masterpiece.
21:55I am very proud of every single one of you.
21:57Yeah.
21:57And let's just hope the design team will pull through.
22:00Books designed.
22:01The story of the warrior is done.
22:03Let's see what others think of it later.
22:05Let's go.
22:05Let's make a move.
22:07For both teams, bedtime.
22:178am.
22:18So I'm really excited to see the product that you've come up with.
22:21I'm not hoping it's going to be fantastic at work.
22:23While Andrea's team meet their main character.
22:26Okay, so I want to introduce you guys to Zabori.
22:29Oh, that's so cute.
22:32I actually love that thing.
22:34Oh, I love it.
22:36It's really cute.
22:38For Marcus's boys.
22:39The suspense is killing me.
22:40Oh, man, I'm so excited.
22:42Astro has landed.
22:45Wow.
22:46Okay, he's got a flag.
22:48What do you think, boys?
22:49Wow.
22:49Yeah, I think this is fantastic.
22:51This is exactly how I envisioned it.
22:52Well, I'm pleased you like it,
22:53because we didn't have much to go on,
22:54but we just took an educated decision on what we thought.
22:56What do you mean you didn't have much to go on?
22:58Obviously, we had Astro.
22:59Yeah.
23:00That's all we had.
23:01Sorry about that, but yeah,
23:02I think this is in line with our, you know,
23:05vision of what we wanted to do.
23:06I'm very happy.
23:10Next for the girls.
23:12Bang, bang, bang.
23:14Zabori fell over his laces.
23:16His face went bright red.
23:18The big reveal of Zabori's story.
23:21It was all just fine.
23:25First impressions.
23:27I think it fits the bill.
23:28Can I just add, sorry, sorry to put a dampener on it.
23:31I just feel like it might be difficult to explain how the zebra got the stripes,
23:35because that should have been in the storyboard.
23:38My priority was to have a completed book.
23:41There were no point in having...
23:43And do you know what?
23:43We literally had ten minutes to do the rest of the...
23:46Tasha, this is what it was yesterday morning.
23:49You're interrupting constantly.
23:51Because I was doing the...
23:52You're doing it again.
23:53People keep talking over each other.
23:55And if I'm going to be honest with you, if you worked for me, you wouldn't be working for me
24:00anymore.
24:04Across the hall...
24:06He really needs to poo.
24:11The boy's toilet-themed tale.
24:14I'm just imagining like me and my four-year-old son sitting there reading this.
24:18Amazing.
24:21Why is there no illustrations on this page?
24:23What happened?
24:24Just got missed.
24:25And that's what I picked up, because I was counting the pages.
24:28And you told us right at the end and you said that you figured it out earlier and didn't say
24:31no.
24:31No, I was counting the pages, but you were so sure of yourself, Kieran,
24:36that you knew exactly what you were doing.
24:37There was whole illustrations and graphics that were missed.
24:40So, Dan, was that on you?
24:41So...
24:41No.
24:42So, who was responsible for that?
24:44I guess it was you, Kieran, who were ultimately responsible.
24:47I think, yeah, that's not good at all.
24:51Those two pages have really irked me.
24:53There should have been some sort of point in which they said,
24:55actually, let's review what we're doing.
24:56I could blame individuals, but at the end of the day, it's a group effort.
25:00So, I just think, yeah, it's ridiculous.
25:01I can sense a bit of friction in the sub team.
25:04Absolutely.
25:05Because of that, I want to actually make some changes.
25:07Dan, you're going to swap with Tan to join us to do the presentation and the pitching,
25:12just because I want to supervise you myself.
25:17So, the people going to see my research are Karishma,
25:21Carrington, Roxanne and Levi.
25:24I know that we started on a negative.
25:27Positive mindsets, let's go, because we need to do excellent today, OK?
25:31Yeah, let's do this.
25:349am.
25:35Today, half of each team will prepare their pitches.
25:39So, I would really like to introduce, I'm going to absolutely kick energy and emotion into this
25:43and really bring it to life.
25:45Amazing, Connor.
25:46While the rest gather feedback on their fairy tales.
25:50It was a bit frosty in there.
25:52There was tension between the PM team.
25:54Let's just hope that they can deliver in this pitch.
25:58Central London.
26:00Are we excited?
26:01Yeah!
26:03Love it, love it.
26:04Hoping for an out of this world response.
26:06Everyone's got a book, everyone's got one.
26:09The boys.
26:11He is not scared of any planet in the universe.
26:16Except for one.
26:19Doo-doo-land!
26:20Dun-dun!
26:22Dun-dun!
26:26OK.
26:27I saw a few smiles here and there.
26:30But what did people think of the adventure that Astro went on?
26:33It isn't that funny.
26:34Oh, OK.
26:35OK.
26:36Did you not find it very funny?
26:39No.
26:40Do you want to hear it one more time?
26:42No.
26:42No.
26:43OK.
26:44That's OK.
26:46This is meant to be a fun adventure book.
26:49And no kids laughed.
26:51So we're going to struggle selling this as a fun adventurous book
26:54if the consumers of the book aren't enjoying it.
26:56We should have been funnier, really, shouldn't we, for a funny book?
26:59And there's no pictures on there.
27:01Yes.
27:04Down the hall, shall we unveil it?
27:06Shall we unveil it?
27:07Shall we unveil it?
27:08Ta-da!
27:09Wow!
27:11Isn't he so cute?
27:12Yeah, he looks cool.
27:14Zabori's team come face-to-face with five-year-olds.
27:19Bang, bang, bang!
27:21Zabori fell over his laces.
27:24His face went bright red.
27:26But it will be just fine.
27:30Hands up if we love the book.
27:32Was it interesting?
27:33Yeah.
27:33Super fun book?
27:34Super fun?
27:35Yes.
27:35Did you understand the bit about the stripes?
27:38So we had Zabori with no stripes,
27:41and then Zabori with stripes at the end.
27:44No.
27:45Oh, okay.
27:494pm.
27:50Hi!
27:52Ahead of the pitches...
27:54They didn't understand, like, why has the Zebra acquired more stripes?
27:58They had just no idea.
28:00For both teams, we had no real laughs in the room,
28:04and there was not really a lot of engagement on the faces.
28:07A chance to check it.
28:10You know the two blank pages?
28:11I don't want to know about that one.
28:12No, no, no, I don't want to know the problem.
28:14Yeah, we need to.
28:14I don't even want to think about the negatives.
28:16The whole point of consumer feedback is to get the negatives so we can work on the negatives
28:19and use it as positive.
28:20So, lads, come on.
28:21We don't have enough time.
28:22I am going to make a conscious decision to say,
28:23let's just forget about the negatives.
28:25We are trying to sell this book.
28:26I think you should put it to a vote, man.
28:27I don't even want to take this one to a vote.
28:325pm.
28:34Arriving some of Britain's biggest booksellers.
28:38All with the potential to buy stories in bulk.
28:42Ready to launch...
28:44This is a horror movie or something.
28:46...Marcus's Boys.
28:49Welcome, everyone.
28:50We are here to present to you Astro and the Three Aliens.
28:54Ladies and gentlemen, please keep arms and legs inside of the spacecraft
29:00as we get ready to blast off out of this world.
29:04Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to ask you to count down with me.
29:08Five, four, three, two, one.
29:13We have takeoff.
29:16Good.
29:17He's absolutely so energetic.
29:21Astro needs a poo.
29:22He is not scared of any planet except for one.
29:28Do-do-land!
29:30Dun-dun!
29:33Oh, look, them two are a bit frowning.
29:36Please, Roo, can I do a poo in your loo?
29:39But, oh, no!
29:42This loo is too big!
29:48Across town, trotting in with her tribe, mum of five, Andrea.
29:58Welcome.
30:01Educational books are quite a big thing.
30:07Children from birth, it's really good to read to children, read books.
30:11It's very educational.
30:15And I think it's a story about a boy who's a zebra on his first day at school,
30:22and he's got worries, and we're sort of saying, that is fine.
30:29It was Zabori's first day at school.
30:31He was feeling worried.
30:33Bang, bang, bang!
30:36Zabori fell over his laces.
30:38His face went bright red.
30:40But it will be just fine.
30:44Zabori looked out of the window as the bell rang.
30:47Ring, ring!
30:49Guess who he saw?
30:50His mum!
30:52It was all just fine.
30:58Pitch is over.
31:00Hello, Chris, nice to meet you.
31:01Teams have one hour to secure sales.
31:04What do you think about our show?
31:05Other than the word poo.
31:07Where's the funny in that book? Because we can't find it.
31:11Aiming to seal a deal.
31:12Took a look at foils. They do not look happy.
31:14Connor, I need you to go in and sweeten them up.
31:16With one of Britain's biggest bookshops.
31:19Astron of the Three Aliens, when we came up with the concept,
31:21it was really meant to be engaging.
31:23Connor.
31:25I couldn't find something in it where I was like,
31:28this is the main purpose and this is what makes this book individual.
31:32With the audiobook, with the caricature,
31:33it's really about bringing the words on the page to life.
31:37I mean, before we go into that, I was going to say maybe,
31:40could we perhaps consider maybe a smaller amount of units just to see how things go?
31:45My question is, what would make them think this is the funniest thing on the shelves that they can buy?
31:49I think that's where Astro really comes into it.
31:51I mean, I mean, just to obviously go back to my point,
31:55even if we can trial just a few units and see how things go.
31:59I think we would go with ten.
32:00We have ten units.
32:03I'm quite frustrated. Marcus trusted me with this negotiation,
32:06but trusted himself more to close it.
32:08But asking them initially for a low number, I'm lost for words.
32:13I was building the rapport, which takes time.
32:15We don't have time to build that rapport.
32:17We need to get straight to the point.
32:18I do think there is something in letting the person who's pitching pitch.
32:23On the other team...
32:25We really like it. We think the character of Zabori is just great.
32:29..while Pasha pins down a deal...
32:31The most we would take initially if something like this would be about 500.
32:33Thank you so much.
32:35Thank you very much.
32:36..trying to steer a major sale...
32:39We put a load of passion into this,
32:40cos we all can resonate one way or another, especially if we've got children.
32:43..lorry driver Levi.
32:47Talking about the units of the item.
32:49So our initial order would be to order 50 copies.
32:52Could we push the 200 units on the first one and then go from there?
32:59Can we go ahead with that one?
33:01No.
33:01No?
33:02Um, what...
33:04With you, you'll be supporting us a lot.
33:07If we could just push to 100, we would really appreciate that.
33:11Just the support to our book.
33:13If possible, please.
33:15We'll go to 75.
33:17OK, so we'll shake on that then.
33:18Thank you for your time.
33:19Thank you very much.
33:23I would love to know your thoughts and feedback, Victoria and Melissa.
33:27Can you explain this?
33:28While Connor tries to fill in the blanks...
33:31Yes, so children would be able to draw and bring to life Astro on his adventures.
33:36It honestly just looks like you've forgotten to build a page.
33:39..in talks with high street giant Waterstones...
33:42It's a little confused.
33:44When we read it, we didn't know if it was supposed to be funny.
33:47..tanned man.
33:49Do you think it's something we may be able to try in one or two...
33:51Like, maybe 50,000, 60,000?
33:53..one or two stores?
33:54How many?
33:54Like, we could do, like, 50 to 60,000.
33:5650 to 60,000?
33:57No, no.
33:58Could we potentially try a smaller volume?
34:01Try 10 copies.
34:02Could we perhaps try 1,000 copies?
34:03No, we're not going to take 1,000 copies.
34:05How many would you feel comfortable taking?
34:06I just said we could take 10.
34:09Just, I need to know, where did that figure just come out from?
34:12I had to, because we needed to finish and move on to your new retailer.
34:15I know, but what was the time you need to speak to other retailers?
34:17By the time you said 60,000, you scared her off.
34:22On the other team...
34:24You are actually the first online retailers
34:26that we are so interested in getting Zabori's story into.
34:30..while Karishma faces client feedback...
34:33I really liked the stripes.
34:35I mean, it was such a good idea, but it kind of didn't go anywhere.
34:39..talking up a deal with children's retailer Natural Baby Shower...
34:43What did you honestly think about our story?
34:46Vanessa.
34:47Well, we love Zabori. We thought it was very creative, very imaginative,
34:51and we can see that it will work for the back-to-school story for us.
34:55That's a big market for us. Oh, wicked.
34:56So it leans into that well.
34:58What's your usual selling units? Like, what do you normally do?
35:01Um, for something like this, we'd probably be looking about 1,200 units...
35:05..um, initially.
35:0930 minutes to go.
35:10What did you think of the book, Honest Opinions?
35:13..while Rothner hears some hard truths...
35:15..and I'm quite concerned by the bang, bang, bang.
35:18It almost feels like he's been shot.
35:21..for the boys...
35:23You saw the pitch? Yeah.
35:24Loved it? I loved the pitch. Fantastic.
35:27..aiming to complete...
35:29..I thought the pitch was maybe better than the book itself.
35:31OK, but we all come as one, so that's fine.
35:33..essex estate agent Kieran.
35:36Well, I think the thing is, the book feels a bit unfinished.
35:39OK, in terms of...? I mean, there's a blank page in it.
35:42Yes, so that's for the children to open their mind
35:45and illustrate their own map of that galaxy.
35:47OK. I don't think that's immediately obvious.
35:49Yeah. Ah.
35:50The subject matter's great.
35:51Brilliant.
35:52What four to six-year-old doesn't love poo and space.
35:55Exactly. In terms of the colouring, I really feel like it pops.
35:58It is good, yeah. Yeah.
36:00So how many would you like?
36:01I think we would put a maximum order in for 50.
36:05100? 50.
36:07Could we shake on 70?
36:08I think 60 and we'll shake on...
36:1065. Meet in the middle.
36:1260. 63. Done.
36:14OK, 63. Thank you.
36:17You've actually done really, really well there.
36:19I love the energy.
36:20I mean, I just like to say, guys, I do sales for a living,
36:23and there, I hope you've just seen, that is what I do.
36:26It's almost like Marcus forgot that in this whole entire process.
36:29I don't design books. Right, guys, we need another deal.
36:32Let's go. Let's go.
36:34Five minutes to go.
36:36The message wasn't entirely clear.
36:38You can see him sort of gaining his stripes,
36:40but it's not in the narrative.
36:42Right, OK.
36:44For both teams, toilet humour is a huge thing.
36:46Who, as a word, is funny, but that can't be your entire thing?
36:51A final push for deals.
36:54Hello, can you shake on it?
36:55Shake on it.
36:55Amazing. Fantastic.
36:56Thank you so much.
36:57Thank you so much.
36:57You can get to six.
36:58Thank you so much.
37:00Thank you so much.
37:02Thank you so much.
37:02We were wondering if we could get to 330.
37:05Fine.
37:06Yes, thank you, sir.
37:116 p.m.
37:12We honestly tried our best.
37:14That's all we could say, and I'm sure everyone here has done the same.
37:16Yeah.
37:18Tonight, sales will be counted.
37:20Obviously, it's been tough.
37:21It's not been easy, but we've done it.
37:23And our star man over here.
37:25And some big numbers as well.
37:26Let's go.
37:27Let's go.
37:27Let's go.
37:27Let's go.
37:27Let's go.
37:29Tomorrow in the boardroom, the final chapter.
37:42Team D, how are you feeling?
37:43Yeah, not great after yesterday's performance, I'm going to be honest with you.
37:46There were a few people in our team pretending they were the project manager, making decisions.
37:52And who do you think that was?
37:53You.
37:59If we do lose the task I will tactically bring in the right people in order to save myself.
38:06I didn't sleep very well last night.
38:08I'm just crossing my fingers and praying that the other boys have smashed it out of the park.
38:13Me being PM, it is putting pressure on me going into the boardroom, but I'm definitely not going down without
38:18a fight.
38:22you can go through to the boardroom
38:42right unfortunately Levi's sick today so he can't be in the boardroom
38:49so this task was all about making a kid's storybook an audio book so we'll start
38:57with the boys now Marcus you put yourself forward as the project manager is that
39:05right yeah I've got a son he's four years old now I thought as though also you were
39:10really disappointed rightfully so in the last task and I thought as though I'll
39:13put myself forward to actually showcase what proper project manager should be
39:16yeah so tell me what's the story so we left our brainstorm having a character
39:23in space who's on a spaceship who needs to do a poo and a twist on a modern fairy
39:27tale which we agreed was Goldilocks and the three bears Goldie plops
39:34you didn't think of that one did you now did you design this we the design team
39:40designed the character this is Astro so after the initial meeting in the morning
39:45we had no no brief in terms of what the team wanted it to look like all we had
39:50was Astro the astronaut I think it was a brilliant job thank you yeah we like that
39:53we really like the figure yeah right stick it on there
40:13right close encounters of the turd kind yeah now what did the children have to say none of them when
40:21listening to it actually laughed out loud I think what they found that was initially was a storyline they didn't
40:26find it
40:26you know you know that funny and then we got a couple of blank pages what went wrong there
40:33the problem was bad management what you should have done was go back through it
40:36Lord sugar we knew we knew we couldn't polish a turd but at the same time we knew this was
40:40the the actual book that we had in front of us we had to make the best out of a
40:44bad situation and pitch it to the best of our ability
40:46this is the retailer said it was quite a strong pitch but they say the product let it down wasn't
40:53funny or original right
40:56okay then all right well I've got the picture of what went on there let's let's talk to the ladies
41:01now now Andrea you put yourself forward as the project manager I think you've got five kids right
41:07that's right and also something to do with a school somewhere school governor school governor and did I hear you
41:14say you'd written the book the school had written a book yeah for children yeah
41:18I thought she wrote the book you said you wrote the book and then it's in the school we wrote
41:23the book a book okay so you come up with this zebra
41:29so we came up with the boy being a funny-looking zebra a zebra in witness protection I think
41:38we just wanted the kids to relate to him and we wanted to make him funny-looking and exciting yeah
41:43okay and the story team and I hear there was a little bit of argy-bargy going on what was
41:52all that about it
41:53were just chaotic it were difficult to manage and we just weren't getting anywhere but it was just shouting over
41:59each other constantly sounds like it caused that this caused more
42:03strops than stripes quite frankly I think the biggest issue was you lost sight of your story yeah how we
42:10get this
42:10nice I mean it just wasn't yeah look at all we're dead yeah the imagery carried the book essentially mm
42:17-hmm
42:17shall I have a listen to this this thing here let's have a listen
42:24it was the Boris first day at school he was feeling worried but it will be just fine bang bang
42:34bang
42:34the boy fell over his laces his face went bright red but it will be just fine
42:44that's it magically it looks like he's had a fight with marker pens
42:49who did the pitch to the uh the customers so I started with the introduction we'd not
42:55you fluffed your lines yeah didn't you fluff your lines a bit possibly yeah I mean the retailers I think
43:01they found that the design and character is good but the story really let it down yeah right well I
43:09think it's
43:09time to see how we all got on Tim can you tell me how your team did with the retailers
43:15well after
43:16their positive pitch to the retailers the total orders they walked away from with five retailers
43:23committing to sales was 419 units right Karen exactly the same thing well it's a shame you didn't get the
43:33story right because actually I think you would have got huge orders but you did well eight of the
43:38retailers all of them ordered from you and a lot more orders than the boys 2855 well done very good
43:49um off you go back to the house and I'll see you on the next task
44:10well I think it's fair to say at the end of this you won't all be living happily ever after
44:17uh I suggest you go off now and uh chat amongst yourselves I'll call you back in later and we'll
44:24get to the bottom of where all this thing went wrong yeah off you go thank you guys we won
44:38congratulations yeah yeah but disappointing on the story side of things but a lot of it that was down
44:44to like the design team end of the day so I feel like credit should be given to where it's
44:49due I
44:50disagree credit is given to a team all along I said it's teamwork it's not individuals there's no
44:56point in arguing when you're not even listening to me so right boys I'm very disappointed I feel as
45:09though the problem here lies with the design that's me being brutally honest but in the brief we didn't
45:13get you didn't tell us for example colors you didn't tell us this is the role of the design team
45:17this yeah like when do I design yeah I sell and I prove myself in the soul how many did
45:22you sell to
45:23sales aren't my strong point designing books ain't my strong but I don't I don't do I design books no
45:29ultimately the failure of this task is down to Kieran providing us an unfinished product the
45:34retailers were not happy about that and as sub team leader it's down to you when it came to the
45:38design you guys did not execute it how you should have done everything we did no problems with it so
45:43remember the story didn't flow there was no laughter when they were reading it no one was
45:47laughing when you read the story didn't you all laugh not really I feel that Marcus is completely
45:53putting the blame onto the design team which is not the case obviously there are aspects that we are
45:57at fault however the main problem lies with the story at the end of the day I don't think the
46:02story
46:02was a problem I do think it's to do with the design retailers said it was the story as well
46:07so why
46:07aren't you listening to them like you didn't want to listen to the negative favor Marcus will not
46:12listen to the experts they did not like the story yes the book was unfinished but it's still sold I
46:17can sell the unsellable yes so I've heard a lot I now have a very important decision to me let
46:23the war
46:23begin yes could you call the candidates in place
46:47Marcus you said you became the PM so you could show me what a proper PM looks like when I'm
46:54looking
46:54at you I mean I mean I've I thought I'll run my team effectively I did give someone a second
47:01chance
47:02being Kieran to be able to redeem himself for the first task can I just add there sorry I didn't
47:08actually put myself forward as a sub-team leader I'm in sales I'm not a designer you didn't turn
47:12down the role did you yeah exactly no I didn't turn down the role to tell me you don't write
47:16books as
47:18an estate agent you write enough bullshit about the properties yeah that you sell that's for sure
47:24we also had another candidate Dan that wanted it but I feel as though Dan is not confident enough to
47:29lead a team just yet that's me being very honest I mean Marcus you didn't really make any decisions at
47:34all in this process I did I moved you I moved you from the design team to my team because
47:38you
47:38and Kieran were bickering but that's one decision I made do you care to bring up another so I can
47:43shut you down again Marcus you weren't involved in any in negotiations were you I actually was so
47:49there was a point in which Connor was putting himself forward to speak to foils but I thought
47:54he was taking too long to get this I then jumped in and I said look what's the minimum amount
47:58of sales
47:58that you can give to us if if I may interject there they had a lot of obstacles with the
48:02story and
48:03the book the design I was just about to introduce our consumer research before Marcus interjected
48:09and asked if we could make an extremely small trial offer are you all missing the point here right
48:16that the book itself was rubbish missing illustrations whose fault was that yes little sugar that one 100%
48:26down to the design team yes I take on my shoulders the book isn't complete however I I can't take
48:32a hundred
48:32percent of that because it's the story and the illustration that creates a book yeah I I would
48:37just say I mean Kieran if you were just able to listen a little bit more and take your time
48:41and
48:41stop creating a chaotic environment I do believe we could have probably got the book completed I have
48:46to take responsibility for the missing illustration hmm Priyash you you you weren't involved in any
48:52negotiations oh he was not sure yeah he we were talking to water signs they didn't have any interest
48:58in the book tan then got them to 10 and then before anyone is saying I that is a lie
49:04what happened
49:04was they said we would offer 10 and then I suggested let's do 50,000 or 60,000 and then
49:09they
49:09say what yes so that's where it's yes it lost sugar we then they then say and then we'll try
49:14all
49:15speaking wait um I have a says suggested 50 to 60,000 obviously they books yeah to 60,000 books
49:24yes
49:24which is probably not good idea um but then I go then I said what about them off that 10
49:29order
49:30was consolation order it was like it's most probably just because she drove them nuts from what I can
49:38understand in many of their stores they've got a table with one leg shorter than the other three
49:44they're using the books to keep them propped up that's about it that's about all they wanted them
49:49for now Marcus which two people you bring him back into this book your sugar I would like to bring
49:58back
49:59Kieran and Dan Kieran and Dan yes please right well the rest of you go back to the house thank
50:11you
50:11much very good thank you Tim take you back what a mess what a total mess I'm going to be
50:21interested to
50:22hear what you've got to say as to why you brought these two people back so if you'd like to
50:27step
50:27outside now and we'll call you back in later yeah thank you I mean the joke is that the only
50:40person
50:40coming back from the story team is the project manager and the story was absolutely crap to use
50:47their own words sorry um could you ask Lord sugar if I could go back in please that's all right
50:55thank
50:55you yes hello your trigger Marcus would like to come back and speak to you okay then you mean
51:11what can I do for you um I just had a quick contemplation I would like to change my decision
51:19um I actually do want to send Dan back home and bring in Priyash but you already said you're going
51:25to bring Daniel in you must have had a reason for that so um initially I did want to bring
51:30Dan and
51:31Kieran back in all right I'll tell you what get out there yeah and all four of you be coming
51:35back in
51:36here thank you thank you thank you thank you well that's very unusual very very unusual done I mean
51:46the guy puts himself forward as wants to show himself to me that he could be a good leader of
51:51people and yet he can't even make a decision it's ridiculous and yeah I mean this Priyash fellow his
51:59intentions are well but unfortunately it made no impact to this particular task he also made no
52:04sales and from the sounds of it was interrupting other people trying to do the selling now interesting
52:11this Dan fellow is always this is wrong that's wrong I think if you're going to do anything for
52:16Dan if you're going to keep him in this process you must encourage him to speak up yeah Kieran who
52:21was on the design team he made the second most sales out of everybody what he can't get away from
52:26Alan is that he was a sub-team leader and two pages have no illustrations you can't get away from
52:32it mmm
52:37okay could you send the four candidates in place yeah Marcus tell me why'd you change your mind um so
52:57upon
52:58contemplating I thought as though not only should I bring in those individuals that didn't complete what
53:03they were supposed to do what they were delegated I thought I should also bring in those that didn't
53:07really pull their weight or do anything at all what do you mean I give example I don't feel as
53:11though you contributed okay do you think you should be fired I'd certainly not I don't know okay not
53:17only do I I'm a good negotiator I'm a good seller you learn a good seller he didn't say anything
53:22but
53:22gone but like for example um when we were creating Astro the astronaut I think even Dan was there he
53:27could
53:27he could see how creative I was given with ideas and flowing and we were kept on getting shut down
53:32shut
53:32down was in creative then I do believe he was I think it's down to the leadership and the management
53:36style but both myself and I feel like why don't you speak up I just sit him back waiting for
53:41people
53:42to fall on their swords no that's not correct um in this task I adapted very quickly it was a
53:47big
53:48wake-up call to myself and I've really put myself out there in this in this particular where did you
53:52adapt in the quickly I must say Dan did speak and share his opinions what about you hearing I mean
53:58you failed miserably last week yes I and you're the sub-team leader I done the best I could with
54:05my team I don't think your actions you act back on a high ego so you treat people last week
54:10you're a
54:11bit arrogant have you been a bit arrogant then towards people I think so and I think Dan would
54:15agree I think he has yeah a few times what why I mean just not listening to people dismissing ideas
54:22who do you think should be fired I think Kieran and Marcus I agree Kieran and Marcus but two of
54:27them because I feel Marcus there was no leadership you didn't set us a brief we didn't have no
54:32instruction of what you wanted in terms of character but no but you knew that was a five-year-old
54:36astronaut right but where where do I so you just wanted design team to go with that you didn't
54:40want to tell us what you wanted it's a five-year-old astronaut work work with Marcus the story
54:47is the biggest issue there was no point to it yes Lord sugar I know the story is not good
54:52at all but the fact that was finished I feel as though meant that we have done we did a
54:57lot better
54:57can I just add sorry I've admitted I take full responsibility of the book you're sat there
55:03still arguing your story's great no I've clearly said that the story was not a good story again
55:08again again again again so where's the story again I am the one from the story team that's here
55:12so okay okay listen I think I've had enough for this I'm gonna make a decision now so um here's
55:19my
55:19view Kieran you're a typical estate agent you might be a good salesman but you know your failure last
55:29time books you know nothing about at all then I think you're quite a clever person but I do worry
55:39that you're waiting for people to fall on their sword and Priyash you can talk the hoeing legs off
55:46a donkey would you go if you made me know I don't want to hear any more I don't want
55:50to hear any more
55:50from you I'll prove it Marcus you claim they could show me what a proper PM looks like well I've
56:00got to
56:00tell you you ain't shown me nothing but Kieran I think it is regretful that there's an attitude about
56:11you whether you could be one of my business partners but having said that I'm gonna conclude today that
56:26Marcus you're fired thank you now you three have got to up your game okay go on off you go
56:47thank you thank you thank you I didn't expect to be fired put myself over this PM I thought it
56:58would be appreciated in the sense of you know I'm taking a risk but it is where it is onwards
57:02and upwards
57:03for me the boys are so cocky what's all this big man energy or this personality and then in a
57:10boardroom
57:11they write about poo come say it comes there so Marcus basically asked me and Kieran to come back
57:29and kind of change the decision at the last minute and my face just draw I think Marcus just spoke
57:36too
57:36much in there and the probably the fact he changed his mind really annoyed him did he make the road
57:41to
57:41decision did Lord sugar fire the right no I think ultimately Dan told him to do a double me and
57:46Marcus
57:52now 17 candidates remain the search for Lord Sugar's next business partner continues next time now this
58:04task is all about turning poultry into profit oh done done done done chicken chicken and mushroom pie
58:11anyone versus egg if you don't make any money we will lose guys I'm getting stressed man and in the
