Imagine a year's worth of pocket money up for grabs,

0:00:020:00:04

just waiting for kids like you from across the UK to come up with

0:00:040:00:08

a winning business pitch.

0:00:080:00:09

-I live in Newcastle...

-Birmingham...

-I'm from Manchester...

0:00:090:00:12

Could you spot a gap in the market?

0:00:120:00:15

My business idea is to grow fresh fruit and vegetables in

0:00:150:00:19

my back garden and sell them to my neighbours and my local community.

0:00:190:00:23

What's your big idea?

0:00:230:00:25

-Our business idea is...

-Freshly made waffles.

0:00:250:00:28

Or are you the next Branson, Sugar or Dyson?

0:00:280:00:32

My pitch is about a healthy fruit tuck shop.

0:00:320:00:34

Now, budding entrepreneurs are entering the Pocket Money Pitch Off.

0:00:360:00:40

All are hoping to secure that valuable pot of cash and

0:00:400:00:44

the priceless help of a top industry guru to kick-start their business.

0:00:440:00:49

They will have just one chance to call for help, and this is it -

0:00:490:00:54

the Pause My Pitch Button.

0:00:540:00:57

One guru to impress...

0:00:570:01:00

Only one idea can come out on top.

0:01:000:01:02

This is Pocket Money Pitch!

0:01:030:01:05

Pocket Money Pitchers, it's time to go head to head.

0:01:150:01:19

-Present your pitch.

-The pitcher...

-I've chosen...

-Is...

0:01:190:01:23

We have searched the whole of the UK

0:01:340:01:36

to find the best young business talent.

0:01:360:01:39

And the cream of the crop are going head to head.

0:01:410:01:44

In this episode, we have six new pitchers battling it out

0:01:440:01:48

for a slice of the food market.

0:01:480:01:51

In the UK we spend nearly £200 million a year on our food -

0:01:510:01:54

that's 11% of everything our families buy.

0:01:540:01:57

Only three will get the chance to pitch in the vault,

0:02:000:02:03

to today's guru, Levi Roots.

0:02:030:02:05

Levi has an appetite for success and his Caribbean sauces

0:02:050:02:09

have made him a multimillionaire.

0:02:090:02:11

Our pitchers can improve their chances of impressing Levi

0:02:130:02:16

by winning over the buddies.

0:02:160:02:19

These guys are top entrepreneurs

0:02:190:02:21

who will spot which mouthwatering idea could be a winner.

0:02:210:02:25

So they are our buddies - who are our pitchers?

0:02:250:02:29

First up, two brothers from Devon - Kirby, 13 and Ashton, 12.

0:02:300:02:34

-He's always bugging me.

-But when it comes to business...

0:02:360:02:39

BOTH: We're a great team!

0:02:390:02:41

Going head to head is 14-year-old Lauren from Somerset.

0:02:420:02:46

When it comes down to business,

0:02:460:02:48

I feel like I have great ideas, and I'm hardworking.

0:02:480:02:50

Both businesses are pitching to the buddies, but only one idea

0:02:540:02:58

can go through to the next stage.

0:02:580:03:01

Real Meal Pizza, you're up first, take it away.

0:03:010:03:04

-Hello, I'm Kirby.

-And I'm Ashton. And our business idea is...

0:03:040:03:08

# Real meal pizza! #

0:03:080:03:09

Real Meal Pizza, is as the name suggests -

0:03:090:03:12

-a real meal on a pizza.

-We're going to take toppings

0:03:120:03:15

to a whole new level. And as far as we are aware,

0:03:150:03:17

no other company offers pizzas quite like ours.

0:03:170:03:21

Our ultimate goal would be to sell frozen real meal pizzas

0:03:210:03:23

off to supermarkets.

0:03:230:03:25

BOTH: Remember, Real Meal Pizzas are the real deal!

0:03:250:03:29

Well, if the buddies fancy their Sunday lunch on a pizza,

0:03:300:03:33

they'll like Kirby and Ashton.

0:03:330:03:35

But Lauren is also hoping for a pizza the action.

0:03:350:03:39

-Take it away for Scrummy Eggs.

-The humble egg.

0:03:390:03:42

It's OK, but what I like to do is I like to wrap filling around it

0:03:420:03:46

in coating. Well, what have you got, then?

0:03:460:03:49

Well, you've got a Scotch egg - it's just that simple.

0:03:490:03:53

I've expanded the simple Scotch egg recipe

0:03:530:03:56

into amazing different varieties and ideas.

0:03:560:03:59

Chicken curry, even a vegetarian range and a bolognese range.

0:03:590:04:03

I hope you like my idea.

0:04:040:04:06

Both delicious ideas,

0:04:060:04:08

but only one can go through to the next round.

0:04:080:04:10

So let's find out what the buddies think.

0:04:100:04:12

We're going to start out with our resident chef, Luke.

0:04:120:04:15

Firstly, guys, I really, really enjoyed listening to these pitches,

0:04:150:04:18

but for me, I'm going for Real Meal Pizzas.

0:04:180:04:21

Next up is pioneering product designer Emily.

0:04:220:04:26

For me, my vote goes to Scrummy Eggs.

0:04:260:04:28

Suleman is a self-made online entrepreneur.

0:04:290:04:33

Scrummy Eggs, I think you've got a bigger market,

0:04:330:04:36

so I'm going to go for you.

0:04:360:04:38

Influential branding consultant Bianca is next.

0:04:380:04:42

I think both concepts are really strong, but I can imagine

0:04:420:04:45

eating a pizza with my meal on it, so Real Meal Pizzas it is.

0:04:450:04:48

To pitches, two votes each. It's all down to the final buddy Ben,

0:04:490:04:55

-a digital media expert.

-Both of you, really good pitch.

0:04:550:04:59

But I think - pizza is actually my favourite food,

0:05:010:05:04

so my vote goes to Real Meal Pizzas.

0:05:040:05:06

So close, but Real Meal Pizzas have done it.

0:05:080:05:12

It was really close, it was like deciding between one judge,

0:05:120:05:15

and obviously they picked Real Meal Pizzas but I'm not worried,

0:05:150:05:18

it's good experience and I'm really happy.

0:05:180:05:21

Now, the lads need a buddy to be their lifeline

0:05:220:05:25

if things get tough with the guru.

0:05:250:05:27

But they can only choose one who voted for them -

0:05:270:05:30

Bianca, Ben or Luke.

0:05:300:05:33

-Who are we going for?

-We have decided to go with Bianca.

0:05:330:05:36

With Bianca! There you go.

0:05:360:05:38

So Bianca's going to give you all the advice

0:05:380:05:40

and tips you need before you do your next pitch to the guru.

0:05:400:05:42

-Good luck.

-Thank you.

-Bye.

0:05:420:05:44

Next up is 12-year-old Ben from Orpington.

0:05:470:05:50

Does he have the raw ingredients for business success?

0:05:500:05:55

I love food and it's my passion

0:05:550:05:57

and I just want my passion to come through.

0:05:570:06:00

Ben is up against eight-year-old twins

0:06:000:06:03

Thomas and Zoe from Manchester,

0:06:030:06:05

with an idea that really takes the biscuit.

0:06:050:06:08

Sometimes we do argue,

0:06:080:06:11

but most of the time we're fine and getting on together.

0:06:110:06:15

So that's why we would do well in business.

0:06:150:06:18

With Bianca teamed up, we have a new buddy,

0:06:220:06:25

international kids-clothing entrepreneur Emma-Jayne.

0:06:250:06:29

Pocket money pitchers, it's time to go head to head.

0:06:290:06:31

Ben, you're going to start us off -

0:06:310:06:33

give us the pitch for Kitchen Kids.

0:06:330:06:36

Hi, I'm Ben and my business idea is Kitchen Kids.

0:06:360:06:40

They are DIY lunchboxes for kids.

0:06:400:06:43

You buy a five-day supply of ingredients

0:06:430:06:46

and recipes that come in a lunch bag like this.

0:06:460:06:51

Some of the ingredients you might find in a Kitchen Kids box

0:06:510:06:54

would be pasta...

0:06:540:06:57

..or plain flour.

0:06:580:07:00

For things such as making pasta salads or apple scones,

0:07:020:07:07

or cheesy biscuits. I just want to get my passion for food

0:07:070:07:11

and cooking across to other children and to get them in the kitchen.

0:07:110:07:15

Thank you very much for your time, I really appreciate this opportunity.

0:07:150:07:20

Ben has packed a lot of passion into his pitch.

0:07:200:07:23

Zoe and Thomas, it's your turn now.

0:07:230:07:25

Take it away for the pitch for Cool Cookies.

0:07:250:07:28

Hello, I am Thomas and this is my sister Zoe.

0:07:290:07:32

And we are founders of Cool Cookies.

0:07:320:07:35

Cool Cookies are frozen,

0:07:350:07:36

healthy, ready-shaped cookies which you can bake at home.

0:07:360:07:40

Busy people could buy Cool Cookies from the supermarket

0:07:400:07:43

and pop some in the oven.

0:07:430:07:45

Eight minutes later they would have a yummy snack.

0:07:450:07:48

We use ingredients such as raisins,

0:07:480:07:51

British carrots, dairy-free chocolate buttons and porridge oats.

0:07:510:07:54

We like experimenting with different flavours too,

0:07:540:07:57

although we've ruled out curry and liver flavour.

0:07:570:08:02

We hope you'll love our business idea, Cool Cookies!

0:08:020:08:06

-We make them...

-You bake them.

-Yummy.

0:08:060:08:09

Which idea will the buddies buy into?

0:08:090:08:12

Bake-at-home cookies or build-your-own packed lunches?

0:08:120:08:15

-Ben, we'll start with you.

-From a branding perspective,

0:08:150:08:18

-I'm going to go with Cool Cookies.

-Luke.

0:08:180:08:22

Ben, big, big well done.

0:08:220:08:23

I really love your concept, but from a business perspective

0:08:230:08:26

I'm going to, on this occasion, go with Cool Cookies.

0:08:260:08:30

That's two votes for Cool Cookies.

0:08:310:08:33

They only need one more to win the head-to-head.

0:08:330:08:37

For me, it's Ben and it's Kitchen Kids.

0:08:370:08:39

It is getting tense now, isn't it? So, Suleman.

0:08:400:08:44

I'm going to go with...

0:08:440:08:46

Cool Cookies.

0:08:460:08:49

Suleman's vote makes it three for Thomas and Zoe.

0:08:490:08:52

You've made it through to the next round,

0:08:520:08:54

but let's find out what Emma-Jayne thought.

0:08:540:08:57

My vote would be going with Cool Cookies.

0:08:570:09:00

Ben says bye to the buddies, but remains positive.

0:09:000:09:03

I found it very helpful and I'm very grateful for their feedback.

0:09:050:09:09

Cool Cookies can now choose from the buddies that voted for them.

0:09:100:09:14

Who will best help them to pitch to Levi Roots?

0:09:140:09:17

Online supermarket supplier Suleman,

0:09:170:09:20

clothing innovator Emma-Jayne,

0:09:200:09:23

social media expert Ben

0:09:230:09:25

or international chef Luke?

0:09:250:09:27

Choosing the right buddy is key when pitching to the guru.

0:09:300:09:34

THEY WHISPER

0:09:340:09:36

We've chosen Suleman.

0:09:360:09:37

Suleman!

0:09:370:09:39

That's a good one - you want to get it in the supermarkets, don't you?

0:09:390:09:42

Time for our last pair.

0:09:420:09:44

Here's 11-year-old Lily May

0:09:440:09:46

from Worcestershire. Her inspiration is today's guru himself.

0:09:460:09:50

Levi Roots is my inspiration because he started at the bottom

0:09:500:09:54

with just a jar of his sauce and he got to the top.

0:09:540:09:57

Finally, we have ten-year-old

0:09:570:09:59

Olivia from Caerphilly

0:09:590:10:01

who accidentally overcooked some fudge and saw gold.

0:10:010:10:04

My business idea was a happy mistake, but I don't want to

0:10:040:10:07

make any mistakes today in front of the buddies.

0:10:070:10:09

For our final head-to-head,

0:10:130:10:15

buddied-up Suleman is replaced by Amber, a fashion entrepreneur.

0:10:150:10:19

Lily May, you are going to start us off.

0:10:190:10:21

Give us your pitch for I'm In A Pickle.

0:10:210:10:23

Hi, my name is Lily May.

0:10:230:10:26

The name of my product is I'm In A Pickle.

0:10:260:10:29

My product idea is to pickle all of the unwanted courgettes.

0:10:290:10:33

No-one else could possibly make pickle like this.

0:10:330:10:36

My aim is to sell my product in all of the branded supermarkets

0:10:360:10:41

and local shops too.

0:10:410:10:43

My motto is, "Once you try it, you have to buy it."

0:10:430:10:46

I hope you and many other people

0:10:460:10:48

will enjoy my pickle as much as I do. Thank you.

0:10:480:10:51

'Confident pitch there from Lily May.'

0:10:510:10:54

Olivia, you're up next.

0:10:540:10:55

Give us the pitch for Sludge.

0:10:550:10:57

My name is Olivia and my product is called Sludge

0:10:570:11:01

and it's a delicious new spreading fudge.

0:11:010:11:03

You can put Sludge on pancakes, porridge, toast,

0:11:030:11:06

bread or whatever you can think of.

0:11:060:11:08

It comes in a variety of flavours, such as vanilla, original,

0:11:080:11:13

double vanilla, white chocolate or salted caramel.

0:11:130:11:17

My aim for Sludge is to become a unique household brand

0:11:170:11:22

and to be sold to all ages.

0:11:220:11:24

Thank you for listening to my pitch.

0:11:240:11:27

'Sweet Sludge versus savoury pickle.

0:11:270:11:30

'Only one can go through to the guru.'

0:11:300:11:33

I've got a sweet tooth, so I'm going to vote with Sludge.

0:11:330:11:35

Imogen?

0:11:350:11:37

I'm going for I'm In A Pickle.

0:11:370:11:39

I'm going to go Sludge.

0:11:400:11:42

Sludge, there you go, you have two votes now,

0:11:420:11:44

you just need one more to go through to the next round.

0:11:440:11:47

Luke?

0:11:470:11:48

For me, on this occasion, I do have a sweet tooth as well

0:11:480:11:51

and I am going to go for Sludge.

0:11:510:11:52

Sludge. Olivia, you're through to the next round,

0:11:520:11:55

but let's find out what Emily thought.

0:11:550:11:57

For me, it was the logo and branding that really won me over for Sludge.

0:11:570:12:01

Lily May is off. She couldn't quite persuade the buddies

0:12:020:12:05

to pick the pickled pickler.

0:12:050:12:08

I'd like to carry on with my product

0:12:080:12:10

and maybe take it into the supermarkets.

0:12:100:12:14

Now Olivia can choose a buddy from the ones that voted for her,

0:12:140:12:17

to help shape up her pitch for the guru.

0:12:170:12:19

Fashion pioneer Amber,

0:12:190:12:21

digital expert Ben,

0:12:210:12:23

chef Luke or inventor Emily.

0:12:230:12:25

Olivia decides.

0:12:250:12:27

I would like to work with Luke, please.

0:12:270:12:29

Luke, well, I think Luke will be a great buddy for you,

0:12:290:12:32

-so go and get prepared and I'll see you in the vault.

-Thank you.

0:12:320:12:35

So Real Meal Pizza, Cool Cookies and Sludge

0:12:350:12:38

have made it through to the next round,

0:12:380:12:41

where they will pitch to our guru Levi.

0:12:410:12:45

Superstar food guru Levi Roots became famous almost overnight

0:12:500:12:55

when he went into business with two TV Dragons.

0:12:550:12:59

The public loved his take on Caribbean food

0:12:590:13:02

and Levi is now worth £35 million.

0:13:020:13:05

Tasty!

0:13:050:13:06

The food business is really tough because it's food,

0:13:060:13:09

it's what people put in their mouth

0:13:090:13:11

and people are really concerned about that.

0:13:110:13:13

At stake is a year's worth of pocket money - that's £322.40 -

0:13:130:13:19

plus a chance to get the recipe for success from Levi himself.

0:13:190:13:23

And he knows exactly what he wants.

0:13:230:13:27

I'll be looking for a business that has its own USP -

0:13:270:13:30

unique selling point.

0:13:300:13:31

The key to success is actually a business

0:13:310:13:34

with a really good brand identity.

0:13:340:13:35

The other thing is, it's actually about the passion

0:13:350:13:38

of the person who is selling the business.

0:13:380:13:40

You will have to work hard for it.

0:13:400:13:42

Rome wasn't built in a day.

0:13:420:13:43

'The young entrepreneurs will need to draw on

0:13:450:13:47

'all the experience of their business buddies

0:13:470:13:50

'to pitch to the guru.'

0:13:500:13:51

Oh, good, you brought some Sludge with you. Good.

0:13:510:13:54

'Bianca wants the boys to show how Real Meal Pizza

0:13:540:13:57

'will stand out on the shelf.'

0:13:570:13:59

First thing, for me, that was lacking

0:13:590:14:01

-was really a good example of what that pizza looks like.

-Yeah.

0:14:010:14:04

'Luke is making sure that the unique selling point of Sludge

0:14:040:14:07

'comes across loud and clear in Olivia's pitch.'

0:14:070:14:11

When you talk about unique selling point,

0:14:110:14:13

well, how are you going to get the world to want to eat your product?

0:14:130:14:16

'And buddy Suleman wants Cool Cookies to be pitch-perfect.'

0:14:160:14:20

From here... we want to take it up there.

0:14:200:14:23

It's taking it up to that next level.

0:14:230:14:25

Now, while the Pocket Money Pitchers get ready,

0:14:280:14:31

the vault is preparing for the final showdown -

0:14:310:14:34

the mission to win over the gurus.

0:14:340:14:37

But if at any point the pitchers get stuck, they can press this,

0:14:370:14:41

the Pause My Pitch button, and the guru will be locked away

0:14:410:14:45

and the buddy will be able to run on and help them,

0:14:450:14:48

but they need to choose their time wisely with this

0:14:480:14:52

because they can only Pause My Pitch once.

0:14:520:14:54

Levi is looking for a passionate pitch, a great new brand

0:15:000:15:04

and a unique selling point.

0:15:040:15:06

Can Kirby and Ashton deliver with their Real Meal Pizza?

0:15:060:15:10

Watching backstage is buddy Bianca, ready to throw them a lifeline.

0:15:100:15:15

Good luck, lads, present your pitch.

0:15:150:15:17

-Hello, I'm Kirby.

-And I'm Ashton.

0:15:180:15:21

-And our business idea is...

-BOTH:

-Real Meal Pizza!

0:15:210:15:24

So, Ashton, what is a Real Meal Pizza?

0:15:240:15:26

Real Meal Pizza is, as the name suggests,

0:15:260:15:29

a real meal on a pizza,

0:15:290:15:31

such as a Sunday roast, spaghetti bolognese

0:15:310:15:34

and, the most popular, a lamb rogan josh. Yum yum.

0:15:340:15:38

If we were lucky enough to receive a year's worth of pocket money,

0:15:380:15:41

we would start off small by selling individual slices

0:15:410:15:43

of our pizzas down at our local youth club.

0:15:430:15:45

Our most expensive pizza to make is a lamb rogan josh,

0:15:450:15:48

which costs £1.33 to make one pizza.

0:15:480:15:52

We would sell individual slices of this pizza for £1.50.

0:15:520:15:55

We would cut the pizza up into eight slices,

0:15:550:15:57

which would give us the profit of £10.67.

0:15:570:16:01

Our ultimate aim would be

0:16:010:16:02

to sell frozen Real Meal Pizzas in supermarkets.

0:16:020:16:05

So, Ashton, how would we spend the pocket money?

0:16:050:16:08

On cooking equipment, ingredients, advertisement, packaging

0:16:080:16:11

and health-and-safety training.

0:16:110:16:13

We hope you would like to support us on our venture and remember...

0:16:130:16:17

-BOTH:

-Real Meal Pizzas are the real deal!

0:16:170:16:20

A slick pitch from the pizza brothers.

0:16:220:16:24

Now they face a grilling from the guru.

0:16:240:16:27

If you were lucky enough to walk away with the money,

0:16:270:16:29

what would your profit be like in a year's time?

0:16:290:16:32

In a year's time, just by selling at the youth club,

0:16:320:16:36

we have worked out it will be almost about £5,000.

0:16:360:16:40

The brothers are thinking big, but Levi is thinking even bigger -

0:16:420:16:46

about the impact on the planet.

0:16:460:16:48

Carbon footprint?

0:16:480:16:50

-Pause?

-Yeah.

0:16:550:16:57

Ooh, Kirby has paused the pitch and locked in Levi.

0:16:570:17:02

Can buddy Bianca help the boys save the planet and save the pitch?

0:17:020:17:06

Don't worry, you are doing really well.

0:17:060:17:08

It's a tough question.

0:17:080:17:09

So, carbon footprint is basically about

0:17:090:17:11

-how much impact you're having on the environment.

-Yes.

0:17:110:17:15

OK, so for you, your impact is quite low

0:17:150:17:17

because you are using ingredients that are locally sourced

0:17:170:17:21

and you had a special box, didn't you?

0:17:210:17:22

Yes, we got a special cardboard.

0:17:220:17:24

So recyclable cardboard and locally sourced ingredients

0:17:240:17:26

and produce and you are making it yourself.

0:17:260:17:29

-And we are making it ourself.

-Great. Well done, keep going.

0:17:290:17:31

Has buddy Bianca given the boys enough information

0:17:340:17:37

to convince Levi that Real Meal Pizza won't cost the earth?

0:17:370:17:40

Were going to cause a small carbon footprint,

0:17:400:17:43

it won't be very big.

0:17:430:17:44

We are using locally grown ingredients and we are going to

0:17:440:17:47

use cardboard, recyclable cardboard, to serve our pizzas up on.

0:17:470:17:52

That's very good.

0:17:520:17:54

And my final question is about market research.

0:17:540:17:56

Who have you market researched the product with?

0:17:560:17:59

Well, our target audience was teenagers,

0:17:590:18:01

so I did it in one of my school lessons

0:18:010:18:03

and I asked, "What are your favourite meals,

0:18:030:18:05

"would you have them on pizzas?" 95% of them said yes.

0:18:050:18:08

All right, thank you, Ashton and Kirby.

0:18:100:18:12

-You've done very well, thank you.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:18:120:18:14

So, have Real Meal Pizza done enough

0:18:140:18:17

to secure a year's pocket money and time with the guru?

0:18:170:18:21

It's Thomas and Zoe's turn to enter the vault next.

0:18:240:18:27

Will Cool Cookies crumble under the pressure?

0:18:270:18:31

Hello, I am Thomas and this is my sister Zoe.

0:18:320:18:36

We are the founders of Cool Cookies!

0:18:360:18:38

Cool Cookies are frozen, healthy,

0:18:380:18:41

ready-shaped cookies that you can bake at home.

0:18:410:18:43

Busy people could buy Cool Cookies from the supermarket

0:18:430:18:47

and pop them in the oven.

0:18:470:18:49

Eight minutes later, they will have a yummy snack.

0:18:490:18:51

We have calculated that a box of ten cookies

0:18:510:18:54

will cost us only 50p to make.

0:18:540:18:57

We could then sell them to the shops for £1 a box.

0:18:570:19:00

The shops could sell them on for £1.50 each box of ten.

0:19:000:19:04

There are over 60,000 convenience stores in the UK.

0:19:040:19:09

We aim to have 100 of those convenience stores

0:19:090:19:15

ordering one case of our Cool Cookies each week.

0:19:150:19:21

-WHISPERS:

-Go on, press it.

0:19:260:19:27

THEY WHISPER

0:19:270:19:29

We hope you love our business idea.

0:19:290:19:32

-BOTH:

-Cool Cookies!

0:19:320:19:33

-We make 'em...

-You bake 'em.

0:19:330:19:35

A wobble at the end there, but the twins kept their cool.

0:19:380:19:42

That was a very accomplished pitch.

0:19:420:19:45

But I do have to ask you, cos you know recipes have to be protected,

0:19:450:19:49

is the recipe protected?

0:19:490:19:51

We did see someone about protecting our logo,

0:19:510:19:56

but not our recipe.

0:19:560:19:59

We are still working on the recipe.

0:19:590:20:02

Thomas and Zoe don't have legal protection of their recipes,

0:20:020:20:06

so anybody could sell the same cookies,

0:20:060:20:08

a potential problem in the future.

0:20:080:20:11

Can I have a look at the cookies? Do you mind?

0:20:110:20:13

Yes, you can look at the cookies.

0:20:130:20:16

This is our strangest flavour, carrot and blueberry.

0:20:200:20:23

Carrot and blueberry.

0:20:230:20:24

And also, we have made an oatmeal raisin.

0:20:240:20:27

I kind of like the look of this one, this carrot and...

0:20:270:20:30

It looks scrumptious.

0:20:300:20:31

Can I just have a little nibble?

0:20:310:20:33

Well, during the process of setting this up,

0:20:330:20:37

-that was knocked over.

-It was?

0:20:370:20:40

And they went on the floor, so you might not...

0:20:400:20:43

Not for my indigestion, no?

0:20:430:20:45

-You might not want to.

-All right.

0:20:450:20:48

No free samples for Levi today!

0:20:490:20:51

But he's not the only cookie fan in the Roots house.

0:20:510:20:54

Well, I have a two-year-old son and he can't take allergies

0:20:540:20:58

and stuff like that, like egg-free and gluten-free -

0:20:580:21:00

will you be doing something like a gluten-free?

0:21:000:21:03

We have used before dairy-free chocolate buttons.

0:21:030:21:07

If we won, we could look into going into gluten as well.

0:21:070:21:12

OK, Zoe and Tom, thank you very much.

0:21:120:21:15

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:21:150:21:17

Two guru pitches down, one more to go.

0:21:170:21:19

Also hoping Levi has a sweet tooth is Olivia, with Sludge.

0:21:260:21:32

Hello, my name is Olivia and my product is called Sludge

0:21:320:21:35

and it's a delicious new spreadable fudge.

0:21:350:21:38

Sludge can be enjoyed in many ways.

0:21:380:21:40

You can have it on things such as porridge, bread, toast,

0:21:400:21:45

pancakes, whatever you can think of.

0:21:450:21:47

Sludge is unique cos it's not currently on the supermarket shelves

0:21:470:21:51

and is an alternative to jam, chocolate spread or peanut butter.

0:21:510:21:56

The cost to make one jar is 50p.

0:21:580:22:00

And if I sell it at £1.50, including VAT,

0:22:020:22:06

I will get 35p profit

0:22:060:22:09

and the retailer will also get 35p profit.

0:22:090:22:11

If I receive a year's worth of pocket money,

0:22:140:22:16

I would use it to seek guidance in marketing

0:22:160:22:20

and use it to help to improve the quality of my product.

0:22:200:22:25

Thank you.

0:22:250:22:27

A detailed pitch for Sludge, but Levi means business.

0:22:280:22:32

Thank you very much, Olivia. That was a very cool pitch.

0:22:320:22:36

Thank you.

0:22:360:22:38

But I was going to ask you something about a P&L sheet.

0:22:380:22:41

-OK.

-And if you know what that is?

0:22:410:22:44

-No, I don't know.

-Profit and loss sheet.

-OK.

0:22:440:22:48

If I was to ask you, in your first six months of trading,

0:22:480:22:51

what would your P&L sheet look like, would you be able to tell me?

0:22:510:22:56

Is Olivia willing to use her Pause My Pitch on the very first question?

0:22:590:23:04

Levi is locked away and buddy backup arrives in the shape of Luke.

0:23:110:23:15

I think the answer that you could give is probably say

0:23:150:23:19

that at the moment our buying power isn't very strong,

0:23:190:23:21

so we know our costs are fairly high.

0:23:210:23:24

Think of it as seize the moment.

0:23:240:23:25

The costs are high and the profits are low. As we get further along,

0:23:250:23:28

it is going to go the other way -

0:23:280:23:30

profit will go up and cost will come down.

0:23:300:23:32

-All right? Good luck, good luck.

-Thank you.

0:23:320:23:34

Time to unlock Levi.

0:23:350:23:38

Will he be convinced by Olivia's answer?

0:23:380:23:40

Well, right now the cost is quite high

0:23:420:23:45

and the profits are quite low,

0:23:450:23:47

but I think as we move on,

0:23:470:23:50

the profits will rise and the cost will probably go down.

0:23:500:23:55

Good comeback there from Olivia,

0:23:550:23:58

but she can't pause her pitch again.

0:23:580:24:00

I've got a two-year-old son and we both love this kind of product.

0:24:000:24:04

OK.

0:24:040:24:06

But he is... He can't have dairy.

0:24:060:24:08

-OK.

-And I'd love him to be able to be trying Sludge when it comes out.

0:24:080:24:13

Yeah. I've got some people in my school, actually,

0:24:130:24:17

and they can't have dairy, so I definitely want to try it

0:24:170:24:20

using other stuff that doesn't include dairy.

0:24:200:24:25

Fantastic.

0:24:250:24:27

-You know a lot of people are talking about environmentally friendly?

-Yes.

0:24:270:24:30

Is anything about Sludge that you can tell me

0:24:300:24:33

that will actually enhance that?

0:24:330:24:35

-Em...

-Another tough question and Olivia is on her own.

0:24:350:24:41

I make it at home and there is just sugar and milk and butter,

0:24:410:24:48

so there is nothing that would interfere with that.

0:24:480:24:52

So you'd keep it as friendly as possible?

0:24:520:24:54

-Yeah, definitely.

-That's fantastic.

0:24:540:24:56

-Well, thank you.

-Thank you.

0:24:560:24:58

Olivia leaves the vault after a tough cross-examination.

0:24:580:25:02

The pitching is over.

0:25:030:25:05

Will it be Real Meal Pizza, Cool Cookies or Sludge

0:25:050:25:09

who walk away with a year's worth of pocket money

0:25:090:25:12

and priceless time with the guru?

0:25:120:25:15

Levi, this is a tough one, isn't it?

0:25:150:25:18

What did you think of them?

0:25:180:25:20

I think I'll start with my mates here, Ashton and Kirby,

0:25:200:25:23

who I thought did really brilliantly and when I did sort of get down to

0:25:230:25:28

the nitty-gritty and, you know, I asked you really tough questions,

0:25:280:25:31

you really came through with it, so that was really special.

0:25:310:25:34

Yeah, Cool Cookies.

0:25:340:25:37

Again, a very accomplished pitch and the best thing, I think,

0:25:370:25:41

was that you talked about actually having dairy-free in your product,

0:25:410:25:44

which is absolutely wonderful.

0:25:440:25:46

Olivia, Sludge.

0:25:460:25:48

Mmmm!

0:25:480:25:50

I'm actually tasting Sludge at the moment.

0:25:500:25:52

It was really, really fantastic, really loved the fact that

0:25:520:25:55

when I challenged you, you came back with your profit and loss,

0:25:550:25:58

because that was a really hard question I threw at you there,

0:25:580:26:01

but you came back and you answered it absolutely brilliantly.

0:26:010:26:04

So I thought they were all brilliant.

0:26:040:26:07

But as you know, our guru can only choose one business,

0:26:070:26:11

so, Levi, who have you chosen as today's prize pitcher?

0:26:110:26:17

'It's the moment of truth.'

0:26:200:26:22

All right, Steph, well, the pitcher I have chosen is...

0:26:270:26:32

..Cool Cookies, Tom and Zoe.

0:26:390:26:41

APPLAUSE

0:26:410:26:42

Oh, well done, guys!

0:26:420:26:45

Wow! You did it, guys!

0:26:450:26:47

-How are you feeling?

-Amazed.

0:26:470:26:50

Did you expect that you would be the ones?

0:26:500:26:52

-No!

-No?

0:26:520:26:54

You've made it through loads, haven't you?

0:26:540:26:56

Yeah. I've been nervous at times and excited at times.

0:26:560:27:02

Three great pitchers.

0:27:020:27:05

Business isn't over. It's been a great experience

0:27:050:27:07

and we are going to keep going.

0:27:070:27:08

I found the experience really, really exciting

0:27:080:27:11

and really, really good.

0:27:110:27:14

But only one could be chosen by the guru.

0:27:140:27:17

Cool Cookies.

0:27:170:27:19

I thought they were the coolest!

0:27:190:27:21

Absolutely wonderful!

0:27:210:27:23

I struggled to actually break down their armour

0:27:230:27:25

and try to find a little chink where I could get in there.

0:27:250:27:28

-We make 'em...

-You bake 'em.

0:27:280:27:30

Now Thomas and Zoe have a year's worth of pocket money

0:27:300:27:34

to help them make their business a reality.

0:27:340:27:37

Let's do it! Come on, guys.

0:27:370:27:39

What business tips will they learn from Levi?

0:27:390:27:41

-You might want to stand back!

-Argh!

0:27:410:27:44

LEVI LAUGHS

0:27:440:27:45

And how does the Cool Cookies story heat up?

0:27:450:27:48

I really hope this is going to taste as well as I think it should.
