London Landmarks The Apprentice: You're Fired

'Useless. Totally, absolutely useless.'

I feel so angry.

I can't put up with loose cannons.

You're fired.

You're fired.

You're fired.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Good evening and welcome to You're Fired. I'm Rhod Gilbert.

In this week's task,

the candidates competing for a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar

had to organise sophisticated after-hours events at some of

London's most famous landmarks.

And the teams found themselves up against one of the toughest

deadlines ever seen on The Apprentice.

-We've got 15 minutes.

-You don't. Your first guests have arrived.

We've got no minutes.

LAUGHTER

In Apprentice News tonight...

BIG BEN GONGS

Nobody wants Dillon's hot food, but later on, with stomachs rumbling,

there's bedlam when he drops his Mint Imperials.

Go!

THEY ALL SHOUT

Dillon!

Come on, people, I have faith in you!

LAUGHTER

Worried that Paul and Jessica's argument is getting out of hand,

Claude employs a stunt double to watch over them.

It's completely, like, the wrong way.

You're trying to use whatever will sell to cover it. That's not how you do business.

Paul, do you know how you do do business?

He's smiling.

Courtney's attempt at a bloodcurdling pirate comes off

a bit Hugh Grant.

Oh-hoy there.

LAUGHTER

"I say, would anyone care to walk the plank?"

After years of feuding,

Blofeld and James Bond finally put their differences aside.

HE LAUGHS

GLASSES CLINK

LAUGHTER

He's no longer smiling.

Paul suspects one of the party guests is trying to smuggle out all the cocktail sausages.

-Having fun.

-You're having fun.

You're having fun.

LAUGHTER

And that was tonight's Apprentice News.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Let's meet our panel,

ready to stick on their best frocks and party until 10:30 tonight...

Internationally renowned entrepreneur and founder of the Mobo Awards Kanya King,

aide to Lord Sugar, our very own Claude Littner

and comedian and Apprentice fan Joe Lycett.

Welcome to You're Fired.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after witnessing this week's exclusive social events,

Lord Sugar challenged his inner nightclub bouncer and strong-armed

Paul out of the process.

Paul, I think that you made a very,

very big error in the pricing strategy, and you can't lose

your rag at every single time that something goes wrong.

And you did lose your rag on this task in representing

me in front of customers.

And I think I've seen enough in the case of you, Paul, to say that...

..you're fired.

Please welcome Paul Sullivan.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-You all right, big man?

-How are you doing?

-Grab a seat. Grab a seat.

Paul Sullivan, ladies and gentlemen!

So, Paul, how do you feel now?

Um...

Angry I think, I'm still angry.

LAUGHTER

-Still?

-No, yeah, I'm a little bit deflated.

-I still think that I could have won it.

-Yeah.

Were you surprised to go out?

Not after that performance, no, but I think if it was judged over the previous week's,

I don't think that I should have gone.

No goodbye, there was no "thanks for the opportunity"

-or none of that nonsense, straight home.

-No.

I don't think anyone really says "thanks for the opportunity" when you're getting fired, but I mean,...

-They do, that's what they do. Haven't you noticed? Have you not watched this programme, mate?

-I do.

LAUGHTER

It's not often we can pinpoint the exact moment that somebody

loses interest in the 250 grand, but I think with you, I think as soon

as you kind of went, "You can think what you bloody like, Lord Sugar!

"Take it or leave it, mate. I don't care what you think."

-That was the point where at home we kind of went, "Er... I think he's out."

-Yeah.

LAUGHTER

Oh, God.

LAUGHTER

-Is it haunting you, the thought of it this haunting you?

-Yeah.

Sometimes I think that things just get the better of you,

and I think that was one time where I was thinking,

"You should have just shut up, mate," but I didn't.

-What, him or you?

-No, me.

LAUGHTER

In the taxi, you said you looking forward to seeing your mum.

-I didn't see that coming.

-Oh, listen, when your ego gets bruised like that,

you definitely want to run back to your mum. Well, I do anyway, so...

-Yeah. Was she looking forward to seeing you?

-No, definitely not.

LAUGHTER

I didn't see that coming, Joe, did you,

wanting to run back to your mum there.

-No, I saw it coming.

-Did you?

Whenever I feel a bit hurt, I always run back to Paul's mum as well.

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

That would have been very odd if you'd got home and he was out there.

"Hiya!

"Just watching The Apprentice."

Kanya, you've organised lots of exclusive events,

this kind of thing, over the years.

Would you let Paul organise an event for you?

Not immediately.

LAUGHTER

In time perhaps.

I mean, I think running any exclusive event you need

a number of key skills.

Obviously good communication, people skills,

working under tight deadlines and of course working under pressure.

And I think that's when you truly see whether you are fully

equipped to be able to produce those kind of high-level events.

I have to ask you about this,

because I'm going to show you a little clip and we have not

interfered with this, it's not on a loop. We have done nothing to it.

This is how it was. THEY LAUGH

Can you explain what's going on here? Have a little look.

We have not put that on a loop or anything!

-I have got some Carmex if you want something.

-LAUGHTER

It's like, you go on the internet sometimes and you see

people have put peanut butter on a dog's lips and that. I thought...

Claude, you shadowed Paul for a number of weeks.

Was he on borrowed time or was it this task that it was...?

Well, this task was the defining one,

because I think you made some really key bad decisions, Paul.

I think throughout the tasks we never found quite what you

were good at, and I don't mean that to be insulting, but just I

never saw you comfortable in any particular week that I followed you.

-OK.

-That's cos you were following him I think!

LAUGHTER

So, this week Captain Dillon led his merry Titans to victory,

and in the boardroom it was Paul who was left looking like a dummy.

Let's see where it all went wrong.

Project management any good?

I'm thinking a full price ticket could be £50.

-'We're going to have to reduce our ticket pricing.'

-OK.

So if you've got the one drink on arrival,

-the two canapes and the hot food, haven't they?

-No, you've not got the hot food.

-They've got to pay for the hot food.

-No, no, they've got to pay for the hot food.

-CLAUDE:

-'Paul's price drop is quite farcical.

'It will be a miracle they can make a good enough margin on the

'prices that they're selling at.'

So, basically there's no salmon in the...?

HE PUFFS IN FRUSTRATION

When you were sold the tickets by Jessica, you were sold on the

basis you were getting free drinks, canapes and hot food.

OK, fine.

-Just bear with me.

-Just one second.

-Bear with me a minute.

-Please don't shout at me.

Well, just stop talking when I'm trying to talk. I'm trying to explain to you about your situation.

-LORD SUGAR:

-Some of the guests thought that they were actually watching a remake of EastEnders.

Let's start with the pricing comes up a lot. What happened with the pr...?

-You started off at 65...

-Right, so we start off at 65.

-Yeah.

And that's on the basis that we don't really know how much everything else is going to cost.

And then I thought to myself, "Well, £65 is probably a little bit high,

"£50 roughly is going to be about the right sort of price,

"so before they got to the first venue,

"give them a quick call and change the structure."

I weren't really that confident that we were going to do that well

in ticket sales, so it was a matter of trying to make the best of a bad day.

We pretty much had lost it at the first point of sale.

-It was 65, 55, 50, 40...

-And then...

-35, 28...

-Giving it away at the end, yeah.

-22, 21...

What was the Bonus Ball again? I've forgotten... LAUGHTER

-Whose fault was that, Paul?

-Mine.

-Are you just being magnanimous in here?

-No, seriously.

No, honestly, I made those decisions and, you know,

I've got to stand by those, but I still shouldn't have been fired.

LAUGHTER

Would you have asked for a refund off that event?

I wouldn't have gone in the first place.

LAUGHTER

Mainly cos I'm frightened of waxworks, so I'd just be

having a panic attack in front of Prince William or something.

Claude, how much was it,

Paul's very magnanimously said, "It was my fault,"

but how much of it was Jessica for kind of going

a bit rogue and suddenly putting it at 35 quid and brushing everybody

off with a "Go away, I'll tell you later, use your common sense?"

She just wanted to sell,

and I think she got carried away with the price, really.

And to be fair, cos I was there,

it was hard to maintain the top price, because nobody was

interested, so they had to drop the price to get some sales.

They dropped the price a bit too quickly, but there was no control of the thing,

and I think even you weren't sure whether the food, hot food was included or not.

I think Frances was the one that said, "No, it's not included.

They did know, but maybe you can get confused when you get somewhere when you're under pressure,

and I think maybe it was the pressure of not selling the tickets that actually made people

start to crumble and start doing their own thing.

Jessica's line of common sense as well,

"Just use your common sense," just wasn't helpful in that way, was it?

It wasn't at all! "Use your common sense!"

It's a good job she's not teaching people to do brain surgery, is it? "Just use your common sense!"

Kanya, you have Rihanna, you've had Tinie Tempah.

People like that, guests of that ilk,

would they have been happy with what they...?

LAUGHTER

-Stormzy, would Stormzy have asked for a refund at one of these events, do you think?

-Oh, my God.

I think you know what I'm going to say. I mean, the thing is,

we all know that celebrities and talent get invited to

so many events, so when you're putting on a high-profile event,

you really have to make it a memorable experience,

you know, it really has to stand out.

The beginning when they arrive, to the customer service in between, to when they leave,

-you really want to pull out all the stops, and, well, OK.

-Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

It was memorable.

It was memorable in not the way you wanted it to be.

Well, poor Claude.

It's quite a job having to keep an eye on all the candidates and

observe all the dramas,

so it's no wonder he tried to blend into the background this week.

-And that is a recognisable face.

-It's just a little bit realistic.

-Would you like to have a waxwork?

-That's it!

-I can see you breathing.

I can see you breathing.

Let's talk about the food. We've hinted at the food!

Paul, talk me through the canapes please. PAUL SIGHS

-Right, so where do we start?

-I don't know!

I made some dry Jacobs crackers with a bit of olive oil chucked on some diced tomato.

Oh, Claude saying "It's a cracker bite" is the most frightening thing I've ever...

LAUGHTER

I think it was funny I was trying to convince myself that this was a bruschetta bite, and Claude

was like, "So it's just crackers with tomatoes."

-"It's a cracker bite." That was it.

-LAUGHTER

Why didn't you spend more money on food?

When it comes down to it, and you know the end goal is to try

and make profit, I think I went for the profit and not the customer service,

and that's blatantly obvious there.

And whose fault was it, cos Frances was going,

"It's all right, I can play mum and I can get a lot for a little."

Whose fault was it between you two?

Frances did run the budget and she chose the ingredients,

-so I think she's get to take some responsibility.

-Frances, then.

-Yeah, Frances.

THEY LAUGH

Frances took a lot of flak, Claude, for the canapes.

Unfairly, because actually Frances was very, very good.

She was prepared to work with you, which isn't easy,

and she was then prepared to go onto the other team and try and

sort of smooth it out with Jessica.

But she set the budget for the food.

Did she scrimp and save too much, would you say,

or was it her ingenuity with little money that...? What...?

Look, you've got to have ingenuity, but you can't make something with nothing.

No, but it was her decision to go with nothing.

Well, yes, I think she had nothing to go with though.

-It was her decision to go with nothing.

-Well, if you say so.

-How does that work?

-Yes, badly.

-She had nothing to go with,

but it was her decision to have nothing to go with.

-Oh, the tables have turned now, Claude, haven't they?

-LAUGHTER

Right, I'm off. LAUGHTER

Joe, at what point do you give up on a salmon, cream cheese and chives canape?

Is it when you haven't got the smoked salmon or do you plough on?

A bag of Monster Munch would have gone down a lot better than what you produced there.

Yeah, I think you've got to, I think that's one of the key things

-that you got wrong there is that salmon.

-Do you think?

Smoked salmon is so, I mean, I eat it all the time and, I mean,

I'm on telly money, so, you know, who gives a...? But, you know...

LAUGHTER

But it is cheap. It's cheaper than I think you realise.

I like crackers as much as the next person,

but calling them bruschetta bites, I mean, that was genius, wasn't it?

I appreciate the creativity.

I think there's a fine line that you can cross, to be honest,

and if you want to have a long-term, you know,

be in the business for a long term in the way of delivering more events,

you need to put on something that people will remember for years to come, because people don't forget.

You can say they won't remember that for years to come. LAUGHTER

-Bruschetta bites!

-You left your mark!

-None of us are going to forget bruschetta bites.

-Bruschetta bites.

They do it a lot, though, with food, don't they, where they sort of...

I hate when they say pan-fried. What else are you going to fry it in?

-It's just a...

-Toast, toaster-toasted.

-LAUGHTER

Yeah, exactly. We're used to this, a bit of creative license. There's nothing wrong with it, is there?

What would you call Monster Munch if you're having a party?

-Monsur mange.

-LAUGHTER

Time now for any information-hungry budding entrepreneurs to prick

up their ears as we offer another highbrow educational take on the week's events.

-If you want to call it a name or...

-This is a bruschetta bite.

-OK.

-Simple.

What shall we call this, Paul?

Um...

-Mate, you created it.

-Sof's Cucumber.

I'm definitely not calling it Sof's Cucumber.

APPLAUSE

Er, Jessica...

How did you get on with Jessica? You seemed to have your ups and downs?

-No, I didn't, I think that Jessica's a lovely girl.

-Yeah.

I think I learnt more about Jessica on that last task than at any other time.

Do you think ultimately that it was the right decision to move

-Frances across to bump Jessica on the sub-team?

-I think that I made the right decision.

I mean, if I could go back and do it again,

I would probably explain it a little bit more.

I think I half expected a little bit of confrontation,

which I tried to, like, avoid from an emotional perspective,

and it just came across as blunt and uncaring, but I'm not really like that.

Well, Paul may have led his team to a loss this week,

but he didn't do it alone.

Alongside him was his best mate, I mean his worst enemy.

Either way, she was always there. A friend, a frenemy, a Frances.

-Frances, you're going to work with me.

-Yeah. I like working with you.

I really like working with you.

MUSIC: I'll Be There For You by The Rembrandts

I think you've got three strong people on that team,

but I don't think anyone's a natural leader like me and you.

That is... Do you know what, Paul? I think that me and you are on the same page.

-I might switch you into that team to sort it out tomorrow.

-Hmm.

-I really enjoy working with you.

-I'm easy to work with.

I was getting very little from Paul, and it was literally I was on a deadline and had very little...

-You were just sat there.

-I don't think so.

# I hate you so much right now... #

-Don't try and paint the picture like you've done it.

-I'm not.

-We were sitting in the room together.

-Yeah.

-And we was going through what we could do because of the restricted budget.

-I was giving suggestions...

And I was working with you.

APPLAUSE

Man, that was a... Such an emotional rollercoaster. What, what...?

It was like watching a romcom in reverse.

Characters normally start, they hate each other and then they fall

in love and stuff, and this was, you did it all the wrong way round.

She was kind of a little bit, a bit of betrayal there,

and actually from that point she talked herself into coming

into the bottom three, cos I would have took Sofiane in,

-so I actually had Sofiane planned.

-JOE:

-Oh!

-Yeah, it was a bit of a...

-Oh!

-Oh!

-Joe. Joe, by all means. By all means.

LAUGHTER I'm so excited.

LAUGHTER

-Isn't he? So you had no intention of bringing her back in?

-No.

I debated over it.

I was actually thinking, "No, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it. Take Sofiane in,

"you know it's him." "No, it was you."

-So it was like...

-LAUGHTER

Does that surprise you, Claude, to learn that?

You can't underestimate the stress and pressure there is in that boardroom.

-It really is... It's a horrible place to be.

-Even you! Even you!

LAUGHTER

On this side of it it's all right, but it is difficult, it really is.

-There's not many candidates left.

-No.

Trishna, what did you make of her?

I kind of, sort of, cottoned to myself that she was someone

-that could definitely go on and win this.

-Claude?

-She did the great job on the tour at the waxworks.

-She was unbelievable.

-You were impressed.

-Well, yes, to have...

To memorise everything so quickly and know every single detail,

-she really was outstanding. Really unbelievable.

-Yeah.

She was up till about two in the morning I think just doing that.

-Was she? Just learning the stuff?

-She just put the effort in.

But it's that preparation really paid off.

She was just very impressive.

You can tell she's got a very level-headed business head and just, kind of, took clear instructions,

she listened very well and then she actioned.

Joe, you would have enjoyed that tour of the waxworks, wouldn't you?

-She did do a great... She's done a really good job.

-It was impressive,

but, yeah, up till 2am doing... I mean, what a square.

LAUGHTER

Have a drink, get to bed.

LAUGHTER

So, Dillon led Titans to victory this week and he clearly had a ball.

For those of you missing his bubbly vocals, don't worry,

we have a very special Christmas treat just for you.

# Spend your life, your jolly life, just sailing on the sea... #

'Sailing On The Sea,

'it's the brand-new album from the singing sensation Dillon St Paul.'

I'm your captain for this evening...

'16 classic sea shanties for you to enjoy.

'Miming With Mermaids Makes Me Emotional...'

# And when they sail day and night... #

'If the party's bad, just blow some bubbles.'

Blow some bubbles. Create some atmosphere.

Bubbles!

'And the number one hit I've Forgotten The Words.

# I love that girl with all my heart, I did not... the other part.

# I did not like the tail, woo! #

Give' your family the gift of Dillon St Paul this Christmas.

'And the first 20 people to order will get a free glass of prosecco.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Joe...

You enjoyed Dillon's singing sailor this week, Joe!

-It looks like a video out of a Scientology convention, doesn't it?

-It does!

LAUGHTER

-I loved it.

-Did you?

I don't think he did anything for gay stereotypes particularly.

I mean, he was obsessed with dressing the venue,

show tunes and mermaids. I mean...

But... I love Dillon.

But he's just being himself and that task suited him, didn't it?

Oh, yeah, totally. Dillon for Prime Minister.

LAUGHTER

Dillon for...

For everything in my...

If you're watching, Dillon, I love you.

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

Considering his starting point, his starting point was

people turning up expecting to see a real live mermaid... LAUGHTER

As promised by Grainne who went berserk on the side there, going...

She just got more and more extreme.

She can hold her... Minute after minute under the water.

She can dive hour after hour. She lives in the North Sea.

She once even got beached in Cornwall.

She was rescued by Greenpeace.

She's got girls.

I mean, she sold the most ridiculous mermaid event of all.

I mean, he rescued that, come on.

Look, every single task, Dillon is enthusiastic.

He throws himself into every single task,

and this one's just tailor-made for him.

Joe, what do you think it would have been like without him there?

It would have been a woman dressed as a mermaid in a chair.

LAUGHTER

-That's what it was.

-I mean, that's...

-It was.

Effectively, it was a woman in a sleeping bag, and he pulled it off.

He pulled it off and made it quite a decent party with 100%...

-Yeah, a sleepover.

-Kanya, that was incredibly impressive.

I mean, it was impressive. Courtney had a much harder job

and you could see he was just so uncomfortable

when he had to do the public speaking.

I mean, he was practically holding on to a tank,

you know, for dear life!

And just the body language - it was just so uncomfortable to watch.

Claude, that was painful to watch - Courtney's tour of the aquarium.

It was pretty awful, yes.

Well, he said, "And we're now in the..."

-He didn't know where he was.

-LAUGHTER

-So, he wasn't great.

-Yeah, he had a bit of a prompt from Grainne.

(Aquarium!)

But to be fair, in the room he was in,

I'm not surprised he forgot where he was.

I mean, out the front, where the normal punters were,

was, like, shark and turtle, stingrays, incredibly...

Out the back, it was like a Reading pet shop.

I mean, it was... LAUGHTER

-I mean, Courtney is not Mr Charisma, is he?

-Not exactly.

So, put those two things together and that was a tough call,

-that tour, wasn't it?

-You can't be good at everything.

That's not Courtney's strength, but he has other strengths.

I think that's the point, is that, you know,

you're not looking for Mr Perfection or Mrs Perfection.

It's somebody who can run a business, can create value.

And if he's weak at presenting, then he's going to have

to get somebody in the real world to do that bit for him.

But it doesn't make him a nonstarter.

Were you impressed with Courtney?

"Oh, hi." Wasn't that what he said? "Oh, hi."

No, Courtney's, um... Courtney, for me, is just floating along.

I know that he's...

-I think he's been...

-He should have got in the tank!

LAUGHTER

See, now, that would have been a better tour,

if he'd got in the tank.

He can breathe for minutes and minutes. He's incredible!

"Here's me being stung by a jellyfish."

LAUGHTER My favourite line of it was just,

when you're trying to say something interesting, going,

"The reason they're going round and round..."

You thought, "Here we go. Something interesting here.

"Blue Planet DVD coming up."

And he goes, "Oh, no, that's just the pump in the tank."

LAUGHTER

Now, Karren seemed really impressed with Dillon earlier in the task,

but by the time she got to the boardroom,

she was back to her usual self.

I'd like to meet the people that thought that it was a great event

sitting watching the mermaid singing.

-You also sang, didn't you, Dillon?

-I did.

It's not as bad as it sounds.

It was actually much worse.

We had Karren on the show and she didn't seem that...

-Are you scared of Karren, Claude?

-No, she's great. No, she's great.

-LAUGHTER

-I'll say that again.

-No, she's great.

-LAUGHTER

-OK.

-No, she's...

-She's great?

-She's fantastic.

-No, she's fantastic on the task.

-Is she scared of you?

-Slightly.

-LAUGHTER

-Quite right, too.

Who's most scared of whom on your side of the table?

-We're both really scary.

-LAUGHTER

Well, Paul, unfortunately, Lord Sugar won't be, as you know,

investing in you,

-but he did have this advice for your future.

-Oh, gosh.

Well, Paul is a straightforward, clean-cut fellow.

There's no frills about Paul. He says it as it is.

Where he went wrong was he started to row a lot

with his own staff in front of customers.

I mean, the positive thing about Paul was his enthusiasm.

He didn't step back and hide.

What Paul's got to try and do

is to be a little bit more tolerant with people,

and if he can do that, I think he's going to go a long way.

Going to go a long way if you can be more tolerant with people.

Yeah, I think...

You know, in my own business, I've got a good set of staff

that I've chosen to work with me, so, yeah, I'll go a long way.

What was your business plan?

To further invest into my own business,

which is a marketing agency.

-It's a marketing...?

-Agency.

-Agency.

-Yeah.

Fair enough. Not going to get into it in any more detail than that.

Lord Sugar made his decision, but do our panel feel it was the right one?

-Kanya?

-Yes, I do.

-Claude?

-I think so, Paul.

-Yeah.

Just unfortunate. I think you argue too much, you lost your cool,

-and I think that did it for you.

-Mm-hm.

I would have liked it if you said, "No, Lord Sugar's rubbish."

LAUGHTER

It was a tricky one, but I think, yeah, I think he did get it right.

-OK. It's not great so far.

-Well...

-LAUGHTER

-There's still time.

-It's still 100%.

-LAUGHTER

-100% satisfaction.

-Yeah.

-THEY LAUGH

Let's see what our audience think, though.

If you agree with Lord Sugar, then hold up Fired.

If you disagree, then hold up Hired now, please.

Oh, God, it's like the Red Sea. LAUGHTER

It is fairly decisively red, I'm afraid, Paul.

But nobody leaves here, Paul, empty-handed.

Now, Christmas is coming,

so we thought we would get you something a little Christmassy,

so we got you a beautiful Christmas hamper.

I'm never good at waiting for Christmas,

so let's get it open and see what's in it.

Let's see what's in it now. I should warn you, Paul,

that we did leave Frances' controller budget for this.

LAUGHTER I'm really sorry.

You've got your cucumber, your cream cheese.

There you go, look, I'm going to do you a bruschetta bite there.

LAUGHTER Beautiful.

-There's a tomato on that!

-LAUGHTER

It's been a pleasure having you on. You've been a great sport.

-I hope you've enjoyed the show.

-I have.

Let's have a look at your highlights.

I definitely don't shy away from conflict.

Make no mistake about it, I'm here to win.

I've spent quite a bit of time watching Bargain Hunt.

I really do need a deal, otherwise I can't buy them.

We need to get this done.

Paul. Do you know what?

Paul's actually really funny, but very friendly.

-ALL:

-Yay!

-An all-round nice guy.

I think I'd like to maybe work a little bit closer with you

to give you the support.

So, we'll take this one.

It is quite an on-trend thing.
