0:00:02 > 0:00:04Meet Ellie, Ewan, Callum, Jade and Mattie.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Five pampered kids with all the clothes, gadgets and toys
0:00:06 > 0:00:09- life has to offer.- I'd say that I was a spend-aholic.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11I cherish this with my heart.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13I love shopping. It's amazing.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17I'm taking them on an extraordinary journey to find out
0:00:17 > 0:00:19where it all comes from.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20I just don't have a clue.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Can they work in the factories of Asia?
0:00:22 > 0:00:25- Oh, my gosh, there's a fish head in there!- No!- Yes!
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Live in real workers' homes...
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- This is your toilet. - That is actually disgusting.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33..with strict bosses telling them what to do?
0:00:33 > 0:00:37My workers, we are waiting for you to work in the team!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- No.- Come out!- We'll wait.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41The smell is unbearable.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Today, we've left Malaysia for Thailand.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51And we're heading to a huge make-up factory.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56I want to find out if the kids have got what it takes to make lipsticks.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00It's like throwing a dart and you have to hit bull's-eye every time.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Can they fend for themselves...
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Mmm, home, sweet home. - ..for two whole nights?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08I'm not staying here tonight.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Can't even wash properly
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and I'm not going to have a shower in that bucket.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16And will their most fiddly challenge yet prove too much?
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Can't be bothered. Just want to go home.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20It's depressing.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24I could never, ever, ever, ever, ever do this as a living.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Last time around, factory life proved a massive shock.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Faster!
0:01:35 > 0:01:38I think I'm going faster and then you see all the shoes speeding away.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Do it again. OK, you throw my shoe?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Sick Jade didn't even make it to work.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46And Matt and Ellie soon got kicked out.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49You are not listening to what I'm saying. You are out!
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Only Ewan and Callum triumphed.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I am going to rock this.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00I have decided to offer Callum and Ewan a job.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01CHEERING
0:02:01 > 0:02:03But now, all five are back together.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- I'm feeling better.- Are you?- Yeah.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09And they're ready for a brand new challenge.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14The kids are on their way to a secret location.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Where are we going today?- Yeah, tell us where we're going.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Are we going to the hotel, Stacey? - Where do you think we're going?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I think we're going to some really, really lush place.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- We are off to...- Look at her eyes. - Ah, here we go.
0:02:26 > 0:02:32- ..somewhere that you've never been before.- Oh! Yes, yes!- Boom!
0:02:32 > 0:02:36The surprise I've lined up is for the next two nights
0:02:36 > 0:02:38they'll be staying here.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Fending for themselves in a typical worker's home.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45If the kids thought they had it tough making trainers,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47they ain't seen nothing yet!
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Mm, home, sweet home.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Out the way.- Gecko!- What?!
0:02:53 > 0:02:55There's one over there. Look, one over there, guys.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58There's three. There's another one.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I was, like, standing there.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- It's this big.- What was?- A big beetle.- Shut up!
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- You're going to be staying here tonight.- Mm-mm.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- You'll be staying here tomorrow night.- Oh, God, two nights.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Callum, what's wrong?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- This is such a let-down.- Why?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Thought we'd be staying in a really nice hotel
0:03:17 > 0:03:19and we're staying in something like this.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22What's it going to be like living here for the next couple of days?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24It's like my shed in the back garden.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Ellie, tell me what you think.
0:03:26 > 0:03:32I think it's grubby and small and...
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I want to go home. Probably don't even have a hairdryer or anything.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38They're staying in a village,
0:03:38 > 0:03:42giving the group a chance to live alongside local workers.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Like neighbour Nimfon, who runs a fruit stall.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- You can?- Oh, yeah.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51ALL: Awww!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Hey, you!- Hello, Sonja!
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- What a cool neighbour youse lot have got.- I know, really lucky actually.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00See you in the morning. Good night. Thank you.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Nice to meet you.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05I want these lucky kids to experience living
0:04:05 > 0:04:06in a normal worker's home.
0:04:06 > 0:04:12They're used to big houses, clean rooms, nice beds, and hot water.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15But here, they'll be queuing up for this.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And sharing just these two rooms.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- You have to pop that down, make it. - Don't know how to make a bed.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- You not make your bed at home? - No.- Here's your mattress.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Do you make your own bed, Jade, at home?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Nooo! I don't even know what you do.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- It's going to be harsh! - How do you do this?!
0:04:38 > 0:04:42They're used to Mum and Dad doing everything for them.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Is that it? Is that right?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I think that might've been the first bed I've ever made.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48It's harder than I expected!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52SHRIEKS OF PLEASURE
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Tomorrow, the kids will be putting in a full day's factory shift
0:04:58 > 0:05:01so they need all the sleep they can get.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06I can't believe you just did that! SHRIEKING, SLOWLY FADES
0:05:06 > 0:05:08COCKEREL CROWS
0:05:12 > 0:05:166am and the village is up and working,
0:05:16 > 0:05:18making food that's sold to factory workers.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22But there's no sign of the kids.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Hello? They're all still asleep.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29'It's been a sweaty, sleepless night.'
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I kept on waking up and it was getting too sticky and hot.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34He's out for the count.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37He's, like... He was just sleeping all over.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Tired.- Yeah, that's about it.
0:05:40 > 0:05:45But it's important they have a good scrub down.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Because where they're heading, takes cleanliness very seriously.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53For the next leg of our kids' Asian experience...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57..they'll be working in a cosmetics factory.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03The group are on their way to the busy production lines of S&J.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08A lot of the beauty products we buy in the UK
0:06:08 > 0:06:11that make us look good and smell nice are made here.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18In this factory, 1,800 workers make 22 million items every month.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21It's all done by hand
0:06:21 > 0:06:24but to hit these targets they work as fast as machines.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28The question is, can our kids?
0:06:29 > 0:06:34First off, time to meet new boss, Auntie.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Sawatdee kaa.- Sawatdee kaa.- Hello.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Have a seat, guys.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43So welcome to S&J.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46We are the biggest cosmetic company in Thailand.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51You can see there that this is all our products that produce here,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53we sold in all the world.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Today and tomorrow you are our staff.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59We have a target of each day.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04Everybody should produce like a good quality, OK,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06and good efficiency.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08No pressure.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10OK, guys.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Do you want to pop your tops on and we'll get going?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16A big challenge to working here are the strict hygiene rules.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22But I never imagined the security pass would be a problem.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I'm not wearing that, I'm so just not wearing that.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- What's wrong? - It has a passport in it. No.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Ellie doesn't want anyone seeing her picture.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Ellie, going to have to put it on.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Let me see it, please. - Drama, drama, drama.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Put it on!- Anyone would think we're in Coronation Street.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42If you want to change, we change for you, OK?
0:07:42 > 0:07:43You'll make a new one for you.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Unfortunately for Ellie, things are about to go from bad to worse.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Any dirt at all can ruin an entire batch.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53So, to keep it out,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57workers spend a lot of time putting on protective clothing...
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I feel like a school dinner lady.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01..scrubbing their hands...
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Ugh!- Drier. - ..and removing all make-up -
0:08:04 > 0:08:10something else Ellie's really not happy about.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13What I don't understand, right, why the eyes matter, like.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15You can hardly see them anyway.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- It's in case any of the mascara drops into the product.- Thank you.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22It'll then be contaminated and they won't be able to sell it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23I'm never taking it off,
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I've never looked at myself without make-up on in the mirror.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- How do you put it on then? - Without a mirror.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33At home in Somerset,
0:08:33 > 0:08:3612-year-old Ellie has a make-up collection to rival a beauty queen.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39You kind of meet when you've got a barrier
0:08:39 > 0:08:43and I don't want people to see the look underneath.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46And there's not much chance of that with all this war paint.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Foundation. Blusher. Mascara. Eyeliner.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Lipstick, it's like bright red. Oh, I love it.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Unfortunately, mum Caroline doesn't.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59You see so much on television
0:08:59 > 0:09:01and in magazines.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03She wants to portray that image really.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05If you look good, you feel good.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08And other people will then like you.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I'm constantly battling with her about what she's wearing
0:09:11 > 0:09:14and what she looks like. How much make-up she's got on.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17And it just seems to be one constant argument.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19'Well, Caroline, I know how you feel.'
0:09:19 > 0:09:21You don't want to come all this way, do you,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24and miss out cos you didn't want to take your mascara off?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27You going to give it a try? Is the mascara coming off?
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Yeah.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34That's it. Brilliant.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36You can do it.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39You look really lovely.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46With a gown...
0:09:48 > 0:09:49..and air shower...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54..decontamination is complete.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Time for their first task and the chance of promotion.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Auntie wants to see
0:10:01 > 0:10:05if any in the group can match the robot-like precision of her workers.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Everybody go on your seat, OK?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10So she's got the kids making lipsticks by hand.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15The task of today is put the lipstick bullet into the case.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19So they gently have to put the bullet into the case, quite firm.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Down, and it's finished.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26Yeah. Their target is 200 pieces per hour.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Wow! 200 each per hour.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30No pressure.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33You up for the challenge? OK, get going, guys.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Every month, 100,000 lipsticks get made here.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48If they're to keep up with this, the kids must be quick and accurate.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51And obviously they're looking for perfection.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54One slip and the lipstick is ruined.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58It's like throwing a dart and you have to hit bull's-eye every time.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Everyone's focussed, particularly Matt and Ellie.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05So are you taking this seriously?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Yeah. I'm going to get the wage.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Oh, is that what you're after, the wages?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12At the last factory, Matt and Ellie acted up.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14But here, they're model workers.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20They seem to be taking it a lot more seriously today.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Ellie seems to have really got her head down on this task.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Mattie, again, he seems to have taken it a lot more seriously.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31It's a complete 360 degree turn from last time.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32They're realising that the bosses
0:11:32 > 0:11:34have taken a real gamble letting them in.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37You know, they're in a real factory on a real production line,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39making real lipsticks.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Unfortunately, the other three start to tire doing the same thing
0:11:49 > 0:11:54with lipstick over and over and over again.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I really didn't think that lipsticks were made this way.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Just it is, it's depressing.- Yeah. - That people just...
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Doing this day in, day out.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07The kids are slowly learning how dull and dreary factory work can be.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Didn't realise people spent the whole day just doing this.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Is anyone else finding this frustrating?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Yeah. Yeah, definitely!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Luckily for the kids, the shift does finally end.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21And Auntie inspects their work.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27I could never, ever, ever, ever, ever do this as a living.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Have any of the kids matched the skill
0:12:29 > 0:12:31and discipline of Auntie's workers?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37So your job today is very good. Very good quality.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41But we found that some of you were faster than others.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46- So, as a whole group, they did very well?- Mm-hm.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49But two of them, were slightly quicker, a bit faster.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Yes.- And will them two be promoted?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Two of them promoted.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Ah-ha-ha! Who do we think it is?
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Who? Ellie and Mattie. Yeah? OK.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Are you feeling a bit disappointed? You wanted to be promoted.
0:13:08 > 0:13:14I did want to be promoted but this task wasn't really my thing and...
0:13:14 > 0:13:19Happy? Yeah? Oh. Come on, let's go.
0:13:19 > 0:13:26Their shift may have ended but the hard work hasn't.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Before going back to their village house, the kids need to buy food.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- Fancy any of this for your dinner? - Oh! God, look at that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Eww! - That's a pig right there.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42In Britain, these shopaholics love spending money.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47So let's see how they get on in Thailand.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Loads of crickets.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52He's cooking crickets!
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Oh my gosh, he's sick!
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Callum, are you going to try one?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Are you eating them, are you eating them?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Are you eating them? Three, two, one...
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Callum, are you all right?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Oh, the taste of it is just disgusting.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09This way.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- Sawatdee kaa!- Sawatdee kaa.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17I've arranged for Callum and Ewan to help neighbour, Nimfon.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20We're going to be, like, awesome.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24And the others are choosing ingredients for the evening meal.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I don't think we should have rice.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I've given them 100 baht to spend which is about £2
0:14:29 > 0:14:32and the average a family would spend a day on food.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Well, what are we making? - We don't know.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Fish? - No, we're not getting fish.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- Sweetcorn.- How much are they? - Three for 20, er...
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- We're feeding five people. - Guys...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Well, you just chop it up.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Two for 12? Yeah?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Thank you.- Get some chicken.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52How much for a bag for around five people?
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- 60.- 56?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58No, I don't think you can afford chicken.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Shall we go somewhere else?
0:15:00 > 0:15:03The kids are getting annoyed.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Feeding five on a budget is proving difficult.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08And they're hungry.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Snappy decisions, guys, cos you have to get home
0:15:11 > 0:15:14and cook the food cos you've got work tomorrow morning.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Guys, what about some noodles? Can we get two for 40?
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Yeah? Yeah?
0:15:22 > 0:15:24One water melon.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28So what's for dinner tonight? Remind me.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Noodles, sweetcorn. - Some watermelon.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33- Jelly.- Jelly.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Can you believe how difficult that was?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39That's all the money you have to survive on from our wages.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41And it's really tight.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I think our kids really struggled tonight.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46You know, they've come here after a full day's work in the factory.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49They were given 100 baht and set off on their ways.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51They found very quickly they couldn't buy
0:15:51 > 0:15:53lots of things that they perhaps wanted to.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56They had to haggle. They were hot. They were tired.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59You know, they've come away with something that
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I don't think is going to feed five.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Over at the stall, the boys have been busy drumming up business.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12HE CHANTS
0:16:14 > 0:16:16HE CHANTS
0:16:16 > 0:16:18No, it's not working at all.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22But after the long day, there's about to be a split in the group.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Callum's still full of beans.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31But the rest aren't.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35They don't want to go back to the house and want a hotel room instead.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37So Callum tries to talk them round.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Well, I know what I'm doing.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40I'm definitely staying in the house.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43What we got to try and remember is like you know Nimfon
0:16:43 > 0:16:45and all these people that live in the village,
0:16:45 > 0:16:48like we got to try and like appreciate
0:16:48 > 0:16:51that they actually live here.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I'm so tired and it's such a hard day's work
0:16:53 > 0:16:56and you have to get up and you can't even wash properly
0:16:56 > 0:16:59and I'm not going to have a shower in that bucket.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01There's bugs and lizards and cockroaches everywhere
0:17:01 > 0:17:03and there's mosquitoes.
0:17:03 > 0:17:09I will sleep in a hotel if another lad sleeps in the hotel.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I also want to stay in a hotel tonight
0:17:11 > 0:17:14cos I am feeling sick, tired, drowsy.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I got a little tactic that we can do.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18If we're staying in the house tonight,
0:17:18 > 0:17:22just pretend that we're sleeping in a lovely bed at the hotel.
0:17:22 > 0:17:2413 and from Wales,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26this motormouth
0:17:26 > 0:17:28loves being centre stage.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I went to see Mary Poppins when I was little and, to be honest,
0:17:31 > 0:17:35ever since I went to see that, I absolutely adored musical theatre.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38It's what I want to do when I'm older.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41And mum Alison's clearly noticed his love of the limelight.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43He just loves to perform.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46That's his love. He just loves it.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50He oozes with confidence. Callum is definitely a show-off.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53And if he can't perform, there's always politics.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54I would love to be prime minister
0:17:54 > 0:17:57because they like to make good decisions for people.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I love to express an opinion and especially
0:18:00 > 0:18:04when I think that it's a good decision and a good opinion.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07I don't want to be a person who stands back
0:18:07 > 0:18:08and just lets stuff happen.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10True to his word,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13back in Thailand, Callum's convinced Jade to sleep over.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I'm going to stay here tonight
0:18:16 > 0:18:19because it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22And I'm not going to go off.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25I woke up last night in the middle of the night.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Yeah, I was uncomfortable but, to be honest, I-I-I, you know,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I do like... I'm not saying I dislike it.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33I can't stay here tonight.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Hello. All right?- Hello.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Guys, talk me through what's going on tonight.
0:18:40 > 0:18:46Well, Ellie, Mattie and Ewan are going to go to the hotel.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51I'm just feeling so tired. And I'm missing home.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Ellie, tell me what your plan is.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- I'm not staying here tonight.- No? - No.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I'm just a bit confused cos everyone told me this morning
0:19:01 > 0:19:03that last night wasn't that bad.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07It's just working in the factory today, everyone was tired.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10I think we were dreading coming back here to sleep another night.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14This is truly how the Thai factory workers live.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16You know, this is a genuine, real experience.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20You know, this is the reality. And it's only two nights.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Two nights out of your whole entire life.- Exactly.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26To see what it's really, really like.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30I guess they've given their shack... Sorry, I mean their house for us,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34so we could sleep in it and I think that's just very nice of them.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Might actually be a bit late
0:19:36 > 0:19:38but could I actually stay here the night?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41So, Matt, you going to get your bag? I'll take you to the hotel now.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- I'm staying here. - You're staying here now?- Mm-hm.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I'm really proud that you've said, you know what,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50we don't really love it here and it's not very comfortable
0:19:50 > 0:19:54and it's hot and it smells and there's mosquitoes.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57But we're going to do it. We're going to experience it.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00It's good. It's a really, really brilliant thing.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02So, by bedtime, the group are together.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07It's a triumph for Callum's powers of persuasion.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I'm just really pleased that they've all decided to stick it out
0:20:10 > 0:20:12because, you know, the reality is,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15this is what life is like for a Thai factory worker.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19They came here wanting to understand what that meant.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23And so they're only going to really truly experience it staying here.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Day two and, despite yesterday's grumblings, everyone's up...
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Slept quite well actually.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38..refreshed...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41I can't believe I'm doing this.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42..and ready for work.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Get up, chop some bamboo.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48They've survived the hot, grubby house.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Yeah, I'm glad that everyone's together.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54I'm really happy that I stayed.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Now, can they all beat the boredom of factory work?
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Matt and Ellie have been promoted and are filling lipstick mouldings.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- This looks ace.- Yeah.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13They've been rewarded with a skilled, fun job.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Unlike the others, they're doing the easiest job there is -
0:21:19 > 0:21:24putting on tiny stickers. Their target is 400 an hour.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27If they manage this, they'll get promoted.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Have to really concentrate.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30If we even get one wrong,
0:21:30 > 0:21:35that's 399 not 400 and we wouldn't have achieved the target.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37You need it bang in the centre.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Yeah, that's what they're looking for.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Got to try and impress Auntie with our speed and quality.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45I'm on my third.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It seems two nights fending for themselves
0:21:50 > 0:21:53and two days of tough work has made a big impression.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00The kids now realise just how good they have it back at home.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Well, since like we started working in the factory,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I think it's sort of hit home to me
0:22:05 > 0:22:08that my parents do so much for me and everything.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I just want 'em to know that I do care about what they do
0:22:11 > 0:22:13and I do feel proud of them.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18I think my family, they do so much work
0:22:18 > 0:22:25and if they work every day just to try and pay for what we do every day
0:22:25 > 0:22:28and what we need and pay for what we want
0:22:28 > 0:22:32and I've never really appreciated it as much until now.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39For Ellie in particular, the experience has had a major impact.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Seeing what they do here has given me some kind of motivation.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44So it hasn't been as awful as we thought it might be
0:22:44 > 0:22:47when you were told you might have to take your eyelashes off?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I still feel a little bit insecure
0:22:49 > 0:22:56but it's like kind of really made me think about everything.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Wow!
0:22:57 > 0:23:01I'm really pleased for Ellie. You know, there were a few tears.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06She just couldn't understand why she had to take her make-up off.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10She was not happy about it. Now, the make-up's off
0:23:10 > 0:23:13and she's not even really thinking about the fact that
0:23:13 > 0:23:14she hasn't got her mascara on.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16She's more concentrated on
0:23:16 > 0:23:18the fact that she's making make-up for others to wear.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21So I think that's a really big thing for Ellie and she's done well.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27It's been an amazing morning for the five.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30This is definitely a hard day's graft.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33They've reached their targets and beaten the boredom.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36For the feel-good factor,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39everyone here comes together once a day for a workout.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46And it's not long before Callum takes centre stage.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Leading the exercise with his own special moves.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58So after working up a sweat, Callum-style...
0:24:01 > 0:24:05..Auntie decides they're all ready for one final showdown.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10At stake...the factory wage.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14So she's brought them to Packaging to stick labels onto bottles
0:24:14 > 0:24:16of Africa's best-selling talcum powder.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22The target is 125 pieces in half an hour.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24It's got to be perfect, perfect, perfect.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30This is the final task, guys. Go out with a bang.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Good bang.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36It might look easy and that's because it is.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I just can't do it.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Put the labels on the right way up and they'll pass quality control.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48HE GRUMBLES
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I've done it again!
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Unfortunately, despite coping with everything else so far,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58it's this talc task that tips the kids over the edge.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00It's all slipping and ripping and...
0:25:00 > 0:25:03If they manage to do this, I'll eat my hat.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07I'll eat my mask. I'll eat my gown.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09This is so frustrating.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Until now, Mattie's given his all.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I'll do one more.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Right, I'm not doing one more.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22But, in the last shift, he bottles it and quits.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Matt, you're the only one not working.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Can't be bothered for this job. It's stressful.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30And I'm tired.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- So that's it, yeah?- Yeah.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36The rest fumble on through
0:25:36 > 0:25:39until Auntie calls time.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- OK. Kids. - All right, guys.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Auntie and her staff are going to count how many you've done,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46see the quality and then she'll let you know in 10 minutes.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- In 10 minutes, OK. - 10 minutes, OK.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52It's time to find out how they've done. Mattie gave up.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55But have any of the other four come close enough to the target
0:25:55 > 0:25:57to earn a wage from Auntie?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Matthew, what happened to you?
0:26:02 > 0:26:07Oh, I'm just tired and when I'm tired I just don't want to do stuff.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10We had a grumpy Mattie this afternoon.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Mm-hm. Business is business. Please understand.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15You cannot select the job.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17You cannot choose which one you to work
0:26:17 > 0:26:20and which one you don't want to work, OK?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Shall I show you how you all did?
0:26:24 > 0:26:29So, Auntie, talk us through who did well and who did not so well.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Last task ever in this factory. Who came fourth?
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Me!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Ah, Callum, Callum came fourth.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I am quite chuffed with my overall total but I just wish that
0:26:40 > 0:26:45I did a bit better but that's the best I could have done.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Right. And who's third? Ewan.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49I am a bit gutted.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Ewan, you were struggling, you kept putting them on upside down.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57- Yeah.- But again, you persevered, you kept trying.- Yeah.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Second, Auntie? It's Jade.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Happy with that, Jade?
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Mm-hm. Did not expect that.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Second's good.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10And first, someone who's done amazingly well in this factory.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15And I'm really surprised by how awesome they've been, is Ellie.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17And no mascara.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Can you believe you're sat here with no face on?- Nope!
0:27:20 > 0:27:25So I think it's very clear from our board who you're most happy with
0:27:25 > 0:27:26but just to confirm.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31Who out of our five has done the best here in the cosmetics factory?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Dah-dah! Ellie, well done.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38One person's getting wages today.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- Got loads here, Ellie. - Thank you.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Thank you. - What do you think about that?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47What are you going to spend it on? Mascara?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49No, gosh no.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Coming up, next time...- Oh no!
0:27:52 > 0:27:55..the kids come apart at the seams making jeans...
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I feel like I'm wrecking someone's jeans.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00..but a family reunion makes it all worthwhile.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Unbelievable that a family should be split up like that.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Probably one of the nicest things I've seen.
