0:00:02 > 0:00:04Hansa, Kazia, Noah, Josh and Saf

0:00:04 > 0:00:07are now in the middle of their epic working tour of the UK.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11And we're heading 100 miles south

0:00:11 > 0:00:13to a London bus garage.

0:00:14 > 0:00:18Loads of you will go to school on a nice clean bus in the morning.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21But have you ever wondered what happens to those buses at night

0:00:21 > 0:00:24and how they end up ready for us all the following day?

0:00:25 > 0:00:29In the evening, when everyone else is getting ready for bed,

0:00:29 > 0:00:33around 3.5 million people are getting up and going to work.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Over the next two days, our five

0:00:35 > 0:00:36are going to be joining them,

0:00:36 > 0:00:38putting in a night shift,

0:00:38 > 0:00:42helping to keep the country running while the rest of us are fast asleep.

0:00:44 > 0:00:49Today on the buses, are Kazia and Hansa finally lost for words...

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Is that sick?

0:00:51 > 0:00:53..will Noah manage to keep his crown...

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Budum-shh!

0:00:55 > 0:00:57..and can they work together as a team?

0:00:57 > 0:00:58What are you doing?

0:00:58 > 0:01:00I'm going to kill you with a brush.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04In Merton, south London,

0:01:04 > 0:01:09it's 7pm and the bus cleaners are just beginning the busy night shift.

0:01:09 > 0:01:139,000 buses run on the streets of London each day, and there's

0:01:13 > 0:01:17nearly two million bus journeys taken in the capital every year.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21That's lots of passengers creating lots of rubbish.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25So each night, our buses are swept, scrubbed and washed.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29It's hard, physical work - will our five be up to it?

0:01:29 > 0:01:31I want you to meet three important people.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35We've got Guy here, and he is the manager of the cleaning company.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38And we've got Paola and Andy.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42Hi, guys, welcome to Merton Bus Garage.

0:01:42 > 0:01:48In this garage, there are going to be, coming in tonight, 170 vehicles.

0:01:48 > 0:01:55We work for dynamic cleaning, and we clean and park up and refuel all

0:01:55 > 0:02:00the buses, and tonight you guys will be joining the cleaning team.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08'The kids don't look keen at all, but there's worse to come.'

0:02:08 > 0:02:12So you've come on a good day, Friday I guess is one of your busiest days.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14It is.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15What do you typically find?

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Day-to-day rubbish.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Empty cans, empty coffee cups, we get the occasional vomits.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Vomit?- That's the worst.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27- And they get dirtier the later on at night it becomes.- Disgusting!

0:02:27 > 0:02:29- We've just eaten, guys, come on. - THEY CHUCKLE

0:02:29 > 0:02:32How many of you take the bus to school?

0:02:32 > 0:02:35OK, so the pressure is really on for you two

0:02:35 > 0:02:38cos if you got on a manky bus, I'm sure there'd be a lot of moaning.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42'And all this hard work has got to be done when they are usually in bed.'

0:02:42 > 0:02:45All our staff clean the buses

0:02:45 > 0:02:47between seven o'clock

0:02:47 > 0:02:49and two o'clock in the morning.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53They will then sleep for the rest of the night

0:02:53 > 0:02:56and then wake up later on ready to be back for work the next night.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59More to the point, when do WE sleep?

0:02:59 > 0:03:02I'd imagine the same sort of time.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04It's a challenge working at night

0:03:04 > 0:03:07because I don't think anybody really, particularly likes it.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09I wouldn't even like it in the day.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12THEY LAUGH

0:03:13 > 0:03:17If they don't like the job, what will they think of the uniform?

0:03:17 > 0:03:21- What?!- I'm going to hate the clothes more than the actual work.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23I look like a traffic cone.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Guy told me that he sometimes finds poo on the buses as well.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Don't even tell me that!

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Who takes the time to have a poo in a bus?

0:03:33 > 0:03:35They're just, like, sat there crouching down.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38'This job could be their worst nightmare come true.'

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Noah, have you got what it takes to clean up someone else's poo?

0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Nope. - You've got a reputation to uphold.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46You've been the star employee over the past two factories.

0:03:46 > 0:03:47This is where it falls.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Yeah, this is where, you know...

0:03:49 > 0:03:51This is where everybody else is determined to get

0:03:51 > 0:03:52the poo just before Noah.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57But tonight, maybe even Noah will miss the bus...

0:03:59 > 0:04:02..because cleaning these red beauties is not for the faint-hearted.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05How about we open the windows? It's getting hot in here.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09All of the 170 buses that come back to the garage every night

0:04:09 > 0:04:12have to go through this giant bus wash first.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Our kids have never been on a bus journey like this one!

0:04:17 > 0:04:22As the kids get off the newly washed bus, the stench of the dirty water

0:04:22 > 0:04:25is a stark reminder of the unpleasant job ahead.

0:04:25 > 0:04:26The smell is the recycled water.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29It smells like my school bathrooms.

0:04:29 > 0:04:30Smells worse.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32These girls had better toughen up

0:04:32 > 0:04:34if they've got any chance of beating Noah.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39That's because Noah's excelled at every factory so far.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Would you offer our Noah a job?

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Yeah, I would offer Noah a job, yeah.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'm going to offer a job to Noah.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47HE SINGS

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Now up until this point,

0:04:49 > 0:04:52I do feel like everyone has seen Noah as this unstoppable force almost,

0:04:52 > 0:04:55so I'm keen to see what the girls are going to do

0:04:55 > 0:04:56to try and knock him off his perch

0:04:56 > 0:04:59and, you know, win the battle of the buses.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Girls.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04It's time for you to up your game. You know Noah has just been

0:05:04 > 0:05:07star employee over the past two factories.

0:05:07 > 0:05:08You can't be happy with that.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10He said he doesn't like cleaning.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13He said he's not going to do anything gross

0:05:13 > 0:05:14like pick up poo or wee,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17so hopefully he will get a really pooey bus.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Really?- We've found his weakness so now it's time to pounce.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23You've got a strategy which is...?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Teamwork.- Teamwork.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Teamwork makes stream work.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29The girls might be fired up about beating Noah...

0:05:31 > 0:05:34..but now I've heard that he wants to see me.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Noah.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39You all right, dude?

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Yeah.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42What's the story?

0:05:43 > 0:05:44HE COUGHS

0:05:44 > 0:05:49Um... I think I have had a sort of allergic reaction to some

0:05:49 > 0:05:51sort of peanut thing.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52Feeling pretty rubbish?

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Yeah, definitely.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Not great at all.

0:05:57 > 0:05:58You know, your health comes first

0:05:58 > 0:06:01so if you go back to the hotel, have a good sleep,

0:06:01 > 0:06:05and then hopefully, fingers crossed, you can come back tomorrow.

0:06:05 > 0:06:10Yeah. You know, this is, like, probably going to set me back a bit.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Poor old Noah has had to bow out before he's even begun.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17And it's a shame because I think he was desperate to keep this reputation

0:06:17 > 0:06:21that he's earned, but it does give the others the opportunity to shine.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23SHE WHISTLES

0:06:23 > 0:06:26But they'll be doing a lot more than shining if Paola has her way.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Really good sweep.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Don't miss anything.

0:06:30 > 0:06:31Ready?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34With Noah out of the picture, the team are split into pairs

0:06:34 > 0:06:36to clean a bus each.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Safia and Josh are working together for the first time.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41You sweep and you take the chewing gums.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Yeah?- Yeah.- OK.

0:06:43 > 0:06:44Let's go upstairs.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47And immediately things start to go wrong.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50If you go upstairs to sweep, I'll do the windows down here.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53- I want to do the windows.- Oh, fine, you do the windows, I don't mind.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55- But then you got to do the gum upstairs.- Fine!

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Saf's track record so far has not been great.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's disgusting.

0:07:01 > 0:07:02It's like really horrible work.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07So that is a sign, "Seams not matching."

0:07:08 > 0:07:09I'm not happy.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I think, Saf, you were in the bottom two yesterday.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15You came in today still whingeing about the squidgy strawberries.

0:07:15 > 0:07:20And when she saw others succeed, she decided things had to change.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22No more nice Safia.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Tonight, Saf is so determined to be promoted,

0:07:26 > 0:07:28she wants Josh to do everything her way.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31I have done the corners, it's just like bits of mould though.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34- No, look, there's like lots of bits and stuff.- No, there isn't!

0:07:34 > 0:07:35You've got bad eyesight.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Look, watch this. Right, are you ready?

0:07:37 > 0:07:40Look at all that stuff coming out of there.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42- No, there is nothing coming out. - There is.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44There's nothing coming out!

0:07:44 > 0:07:47- You're imagining things.- Ugh.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49I'm going to kill you with a brush.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56Back home in Leeds, Josh is not used to doing much work at all.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58I never do anything around the house

0:07:58 > 0:08:01because I don't really see anything that needs to be done.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03If Mum shouts at me and says,

0:08:03 > 0:08:05"Josh do this for me and you can have a pound,"

0:08:05 > 0:08:09I'm like, "You give me a pound anyway so I don't need to do it."

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Josh hasn't done a hard day's work in his life.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Never seen him do a hard day's work. Never.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Josh is used to getting what he wants.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20I really love Mum and Dad and stuff, but I also see them

0:08:20 > 0:08:23as a piggy bank. Like, they have all the money.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26Be nice, give them cuddles, you get the money.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29I'd like Josh to understand the value of money

0:08:29 > 0:08:32and what happens from working hard.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36And so far, he hasn't impressed at any factory.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37How's Josh done?

0:08:37 > 0:08:40He just lacks that little bit of drive.

0:08:41 > 0:08:42Oh, that's clever.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47But Josh has decided tonight he wants the promotion

0:08:47 > 0:08:48as much as Safia.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51I really want to try in this one because I haven't been hired

0:08:51 > 0:08:55in the past two and I just really want to do it.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57And that means they've got to stop arguing.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59It's like we've got to go upstairs and do upstairs as well

0:08:59 > 0:09:02and then we finish this when we come back down to do the windows.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Cos we're coming back down here anyway.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Yeah, but why don't we do one floor at a time? So, like, sweep it, then

0:09:07 > 0:09:11- do the windows and then do upstairs, sweep it and do the windows.- Fine!

0:09:11 > 0:09:13With a fight about to break out on one bus,

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Kazia and Hansa are having their own problems on another.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Hashtag gross.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21What do I do with the gum?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Oh, don't bring it near me.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26It's got like hair attached to it and everything.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28It's disgusting.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I don't like being on night shift.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33I'm already really tired and we've only just started.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38The level of chat on the upper deck is just ridiculous.

0:09:38 > 0:09:39Look.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43Why would you leave a perfectly good box of chicken on the bus?

0:09:43 > 0:09:47It's popcorn chicken as well. It's the best one.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49They're talking, talking, talking.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Get it right.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54All they should be doing is cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57And their snail's pace is not going down well

0:09:57 > 0:09:59with Andy, their supervisor.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Seven minutes a deck, one of our cleaners.- What?!

0:10:02 > 0:10:05We've been doing this for ten minutes and we're nowhere near done.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Cos you're not getting yourself into a system, are you?

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Can't believe people actually leave buses in this state.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Looks like it's going to be a long night.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17Hello.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Oh!

0:10:19 > 0:10:23How are we getting on? Have we got happy workers here?

0:10:23 > 0:10:25- Yeah.- Sort of.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28'Oh, dear, these two are barely speaking to each other now.'

0:10:28 > 0:10:30And how have you found it working together?

0:10:30 > 0:10:32We argued a little bit.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35You know, there is no time for slacking.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Because Paola needs to get them started on the final stage -

0:10:38 > 0:10:40mopping the floor.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Are you a happy boss?

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Not really. They need to finish today!

0:10:45 > 0:10:47You understand? Paola's got to send this out,

0:10:47 > 0:10:49it's got to go out tomorrow morning.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50Yeah.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Come on, come on.- Sorry.

0:10:52 > 0:10:56Over on the girl's top deck, they've made a grim discovery.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58SHE GASPS

0:10:58 > 0:11:00What?

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Is that sick?

0:11:06 > 0:11:07That's disgusting.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Argh, that's gross!

0:11:12 > 0:11:15I'd rather be sick into a handbag than on a bus.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18So, who's going to get going? Who's going to clean that sick?

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Joint effort, I think. It's only fair.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Yeah, I think we've got to go for it.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24- We can't be wussies.- Exactly.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28Help me. I don't know what to do.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29Do you just sweep it?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32'I admire your spirit, girls,

0:11:32 > 0:11:34'but I've never seen anyone mop like that.'

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Girls, it is a bit of a swimming pool up here.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39There is way too much water.

0:11:40 > 0:11:45Back on the other bus, they've also been outmanoeuvred by a mop.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48I've never used a mop. I mean, I've never needed to.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51What, you weren't watching when she showed us how to ring it out?

0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Yes, I was.- No, you weren't or you wouldn't be doing it like that.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57And the night-time niggling knows no end.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59I'm annoyed.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02He's just tired and wants his beauty sleep.

0:12:04 > 0:12:09Cos Saf can't concentrate on her own work, so she criticises mine.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11Oh!

0:12:11 > 0:12:14This is really wet. Oh, my God.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16What, is this bad?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18Of course it's bad.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23With mop mayhem on both buses,

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Andy and Paola decide to pull the kids off the job.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28It's really wet!

0:12:29 > 0:12:31All right, guys.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33I'm not impressed.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35It's like a rooftop swimming pool up there, girls.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37It is so wet.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39What I'm going to have to do now is get my guys in there

0:12:39 > 0:12:42to finish it because that vehicle can't go out in service like that.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44It's got to be done.

0:12:44 > 0:12:48Whilst Andy's team clean up our lot's mess, I take the chance

0:12:48 > 0:12:51to show our kids how differently the workers here behave.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53How do you do, Sandro?

0:12:53 > 0:12:55'For Sandro and Daniel, from Madeira,

0:12:55 > 0:12:58'this job is a route to a better life.'

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Thank you!

0:13:00 > 0:13:03So, you came here when you were 18.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07My first job in the UK, I start 12 hours a day.

0:13:07 > 0:13:12I work seven days a week, no offs, so I'm tired.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16And the money is bad, 150 a week.

0:13:16 > 0:13:17THEY GASP

0:13:17 > 0:13:19So nothing.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21My dream is me and my brother work with each other

0:13:21 > 0:13:24to get a house here in the UK.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28If you've got a house, you can go home and it is yours.

0:13:28 > 0:13:30You have something that is yours.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32If you want something, you have to work.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35This is pretty impressive. You know, these lads left

0:13:35 > 0:13:40their island at 18 not being able to speak any English whatsoever,

0:13:40 > 0:13:45come to a foreign country and make it their mission to find a job.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48If you have a dream, you can work with them

0:13:48 > 0:13:51and then you get something in the future.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54And the dream today for Saf and Josh is promotion.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59We get word that Andy's team have finished drying off the wet buses

0:13:59 > 0:14:03and he and Paola are ready to give the kids feedback on their work.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05Right, that's it.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08The end of the first task here at the bus depot.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Andy, how did your mob get on?

0:14:10 > 0:14:11- Not very well.- Oh.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15The sweep, that weren't too bad.

0:14:16 > 0:14:21The mopping, well, it looks like a swimming pool upstairs on the bus.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22That was your area.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25I think that was my fault, the top floor, definitely.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27I take full responsibility for that.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Well, Paola, can you tell us how your gang did?

0:14:29 > 0:14:33- Was there a bit of arguing going on, on your bus?- Yes.

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Both have been starting to fighting each other for who is going

0:14:36 > 0:14:39to be taking the chewing gums and sweeping.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43Saf said to do, like, bottom floor, like, half do it and then go back up

0:14:43 > 0:14:46- and then come back down.- No, I said we do what we can and then come back

0:14:46 > 0:14:48- cos we had to mop anyway. - But I thought...

0:14:48 > 0:14:49Then you forgot to do...

0:14:49 > 0:14:51There is no use arguing now cos we're all here.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54We just have to get used to working with each other cos originally

0:14:54 > 0:14:57I think Noah was going to work with you and I was with the other girls

0:14:57 > 0:14:59so we weren't expecting having to work together.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03Andy, any promotions?

0:15:03 > 0:15:04Unfortunately not.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Both demoted?- Yeah.

0:15:08 > 0:15:13OK, so, Paola, are you going to promote or demote

0:15:13 > 0:15:15anyone on your bus?

0:15:17 > 0:15:18Demote.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Both?- Yes.- Both demoted?- Yes.

0:15:22 > 0:15:26'Demotion across the board, but for Saf, it is a devastating blow.'

0:15:28 > 0:15:29Darling, don't get upset.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35It's been a long night for these guys

0:15:35 > 0:15:38but tomorrow's another chance to prove themselves.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39We are literally going to go in there

0:15:39 > 0:15:41and be on it like a car bonnet.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Tomorrow we are going to come back a lot stronger

0:15:44 > 0:15:45- and we're going to try... - Definitely.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47..so much harder and work as a team, yeah.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53So the end of day one, or should I say the end of night one,

0:15:53 > 0:15:55and what a reality check.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58You know, a man down before we even get going

0:15:58 > 0:16:02and the four remaining, they just couldn't hold it together.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04You know, they didn't complete the task, there was

0:16:04 > 0:16:07a lot of arguing resulting in the first group demotion.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Hardly the best of starts.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Our kids were only here from seven till ten,

0:16:13 > 0:16:16but the real workers stay long into the night.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22It's now past midnight and I want to catch up with Sandro,

0:16:22 > 0:16:24one of the twins we met earlier.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26What time did you start?

0:16:26 > 0:16:29I started about seven in the evening.

0:16:29 > 0:16:36In a typical shift, you will start at 7pm and then finish at 3am?

0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Yes. - But today is a bit different?

0:16:39 > 0:16:42Yes, it is a bit different because he asked me

0:16:42 > 0:16:46to do another extra because the guy didn't come in.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48I'm not live far away from here, it's more easy.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51Your bosses know that you are a very hard worker.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55Yeah, yes, because this country give me so many opportunities.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00And what do you do with that money?

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Do you save it, do you send it to your family?

0:17:05 > 0:17:07I save it sometimes,

0:17:07 > 0:17:10but sometimes I just send it for my mother.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Because they don't have a job.

0:17:14 > 0:17:19So, at 20, you have come to work abroad

0:17:19 > 0:17:21so that you can...

0:17:23 > 0:17:25..provide for your family back home.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26Yes.

0:17:29 > 0:17:32Just a really impressive, lovely guy.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36You know, it is amazing to hear just how hard he works.

0:17:36 > 0:17:40Our kids are fast asleep, they will be tucked up in bed now,

0:17:40 > 0:17:44they have no idea the kind of sacrifices he is making.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48And he's doing all of this so that he can provide for his family

0:17:48 > 0:17:51and give himself a comfortable life here in the UK.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06After seeing how the guys reacted on their first ever night shift,

0:18:06 > 0:18:09it's been decided that they probably haven't got what it takes.

0:18:09 > 0:18:13So we're going to give it another go, but today we're on a day shift.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16I'm really hoping they pick up the pace and improve.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19And guess who's back!

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Budum-shh!

0:18:21 > 0:18:24Our kids are keen to fill him in on what he missed last night.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26- You were so lucky.- Exactly.

0:18:26 > 0:18:27It was horrible.

0:18:27 > 0:18:28We had to clean up sick.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30And popcorn chicken and chips.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33And then Kaz went, "That's a waste."

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Popcorn chicken is my favourite!

0:18:35 > 0:18:38Not any more though.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40How are we all today?

0:18:40 > 0:18:41I'm good.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Noah's back. Noah is back in the building.- Here again.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46- You feeling OK?- Yeah, I'm good.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50So, Noah, you're going to be working on the demotion task.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53Even though you weren't here and you didn't technically get demoted.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Poor Noah.- No, that's fair enough, fair enough.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57Yeah, you've got a point to prove.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59They don't know how hard you work.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Chop chop!

0:19:01 > 0:19:03'With Noah back on the team to help them

0:19:03 > 0:19:06'maybe they can all get back on track today.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07'Let's see!'

0:19:07 > 0:19:10SHE WHISTLES

0:19:11 > 0:19:15The average London bus drives nearly 200 miles a day through the

0:19:15 > 0:19:19filthy city streets and someone's got to clean off all that dirt.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23OK, guys, today we're doing the cleaning wheels

0:19:23 > 0:19:26and I hope this time you do it well. OK?

0:19:26 > 0:19:27Yeah, we will.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30- ANDY:- And no arguing. - Yes!

0:19:30 > 0:19:33I want to see really shiny wheels.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Paola shows them how it's done.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- That's a lot of dirt coming off them wheels, guys.- It is. Look.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41JOSH GASPS

0:19:41 > 0:19:43'That's just one wheel!

0:19:43 > 0:19:45'These guys have got to do four each.'

0:19:45 > 0:19:47- You can do that? - ALL:- Yeah.

0:19:47 > 0:19:48- You sure? - ALL:- Yeah.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51But this time, I want to see a really good job.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Today they've all been separated

0:19:54 > 0:19:58because they did such a bad job of working together last night.

0:19:59 > 0:20:03The night one was horrible.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06But maybe with Noah back on board, this team can turn it around.

0:20:08 > 0:20:09You enjoy?

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Yeah, it's better. I like it more than the other one.

0:20:13 > 0:20:14Well done.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16This time you're doing well.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18I prefer this job so much more.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20It does feel like a new team.

0:20:20 > 0:20:23Everyone is definitely applying themselves. They are trying harder,

0:20:23 > 0:20:26except for Noah, which is really surprising,

0:20:26 > 0:20:29cos ordinarily he is the one that wants to impress the most.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34It's just repeating yourself over and over again,

0:20:34 > 0:20:38which really isn't that fun. It's quite boring.

0:20:38 > 0:20:39What's up? What's going on?

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Not much except for an incredible backache

0:20:42 > 0:20:46and the blood circulation to my leg is now stuck.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49And you haven't even been working half an hour.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52No, but I'm pretty sure it feels like I've been working for 20 years.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56Noah may have lost his mojo but Saf and Josh are steaming ahead.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01It's my third wheel and both of them have been pretty good this side,

0:21:01 > 0:21:03so I'm happy.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08I hope now I can employ all of you guys and you will be working for me.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10- That will be good. - Paola, you're happier?

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Now, I'm happy. I see a good result.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16For Noah, however, things are going from bad to worse.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Ah-ha.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Ah-ha. You cheating!

0:21:21 > 0:21:23- How?- He is cheating.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- How?!- Look at that! I just found it.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30Ah-ha!

0:21:32 > 0:21:34That's not really good. Come on.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38I give you more dirty now because you're cheating.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Noah gives it one more try for Paola.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46SHE WHISTLES

0:21:46 > 0:21:50Guys, you have five minutes remaining. Come on.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Five minutes and I'm only on number three.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57I've been working fairly slow,

0:21:57 > 0:21:59which is not normal for me.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03Whilst Noah struggles to get up to speed, Josh and Saf finish first.

0:22:03 > 0:22:07- JOSH:- Paola. I think I'm done.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Well done. I'm happy.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11Yep, perfect.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15Well done. This time you do it really, really well. I'm happy.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Josh, how did you find this task?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21It weren't exactly clean.

0:22:21 > 0:22:25I got it everywhere, but I got to do four wheels, so...

0:22:25 > 0:22:27- You've done four wheels?- Yeah. - That's incredible.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31Noah, your first job here in the bus depot.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Yeah...

0:22:33 > 0:22:34What do you reckon?

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Not my favourite job.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40It's interesting cos I normally find that you are keen to please.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42You know, you're desperate to show your bosses what you can do.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46I don't think there was that fighting spirit here today, Noah.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48No, I agree.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Saf?- I really enjoyed that.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55I don't know why, but I kind of like cleaning stuff now.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Wheels, I quite enjoyed it.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Cos you done well this morning and that was a demotion,

0:23:00 > 0:23:03so we're going to try a little bit of a promotion now.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05You're going to be doing window cleaning.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08Yay! That sounds quite good.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10You've got an hour to do these.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13These have got to be done before this afternoon

0:23:13 > 0:23:15cos they are going back out in service.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17And if they aren't done, it means I'm going to have to

0:23:17 > 0:23:20pull my guys off their job to come and mop up your mess.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23'The pressure's on. These buses have to be back

0:23:23 > 0:23:26'out on the streets of London in just one hour.'

0:23:26 > 0:23:28All aboard to Hogwarts!

0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Do you want to wash and I'll dry? - OK.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Josh and Saf have made such a comeback, they've been put back

0:23:35 > 0:23:39together to see if they can settle their differences from last night.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42We're doing, like, it together this time

0:23:42 > 0:23:43- so there is less chance...- Yeah.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46And I think it will work quicker as well.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49I feel like Josh and Saf have gone into this task today with

0:23:49 > 0:23:50a direct plan.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52They have been very quick, there's been no arguing.

0:23:52 > 0:23:54Let's see how they get on.

0:23:55 > 0:23:59Now we're working as a team. Good, quiet.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01- That's what we want.- Yep.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03The speed in that! Whoo.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05You going to come and do my windows for me at home?

0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Really sweaty.- Depends on how much you're paying us.

0:24:08 > 0:24:10Whilst Saf and Josh clean up their acts,

0:24:10 > 0:24:13the other three are just messing around.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Oh, I'm the bus driver, guys!

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Could I not stay in here, please?

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Look!

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Wait, wait, wait. This still being wet.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Noah, you didn't do a good enough job.

0:24:28 > 0:24:29I'm a bus driver.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32I got a steering wheel, look.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34Stop talking and work!

0:24:34 > 0:24:36I don't know what's going on with Noah.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38I can't quite put my finger on it.

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Normally, he works so hard.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43I don't know whether he doesn't like the environment or maybe

0:24:43 > 0:24:44he has just run out of steam.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48HE LAUGHS

0:24:55 > 0:24:57Hey, Paola.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Noah's balloons are the last straw for Paola

0:25:00 > 0:25:03and she blows the final whistle on the task.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05- SHE WHISTLES - Guys.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09And just in time, Josh and Saf finish their bus.

0:25:09 > 0:25:10- Done!- Done!

0:25:12 > 0:25:14Paola's a lady with high standards.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Has anyone done enough to get offered a job?

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Time to find out.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23OK, guys, so welcome to the boardroom.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26So, as you can see, Guy has come back.

0:25:26 > 0:25:31You've now had first-hand experience of what it's like to work

0:25:31 > 0:25:35in the world of cleaning and also at night-time.

0:25:35 > 0:25:39And I think it's fair to say that you've all struggled.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42You now understand what it is like to work a night shift

0:25:42 > 0:25:43for many people.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46I have a lot of respect for people that work night shifts and have

0:25:46 > 0:25:48to get up in the middle of the night and come to work.

0:25:48 > 0:25:49I couldn't do it.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Kaz, I feel like every time I had a conversation with you,

0:25:52 > 0:25:56you were almost getting annoyed with the people who were throwing

0:25:56 > 0:25:59chewing gum on the floor or had left their chicken and chips.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03I swear, if I ever see anyone do it again, I will slap them.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05No joke, I will. It's unnecessary.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08They can easily put it in a bin rather than put it on the floor

0:26:08 > 0:26:10and make more work for other people.

0:26:10 > 0:26:15And, Saf, you were up and you were down and you were a bit emotional.

0:26:15 > 0:26:20I think when I get really tired, I tend to be overemotional and,

0:26:20 > 0:26:22like, crabby about everything.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25And I think Josh got the hard end of that.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29- There was a lot of bickering going on.- Yep.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31But fair play to him, he has come through.

0:26:31 > 0:26:35- PAOLA:- Today really, really impressed me. I am really happy.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39Excellent feedback. How did our Saf do?

0:26:39 > 0:26:42I think she's coming today with the attitude - "I'm going to

0:26:42 > 0:26:43"prove them all wrong."

0:26:43 > 0:26:46Yeah, I gave it 100% today.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48She tried. She tried really hard.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Thanks.

0:26:50 > 0:26:51And can we speak about Noah?

0:26:51 > 0:26:55I know Noah we didn't have for the entire time, he was a bit poorly.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58There was a lot of moaning from you, which I don't normally hear.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00I don't know.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03Cleaning is just not exactly my strong point, I don't think.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06I don't really like messy jobs, if you get what I mean.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10No-one enjoys it but it's a job that needs doing.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14There is just so many places that remain open throughout the night

0:27:14 > 0:27:18that have to be staffed up, so it is a different world altogether.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22So, you know how this works. Guy has had a conversation

0:27:22 > 0:27:25with his colleagues and they've decided collectively that some of

0:27:25 > 0:27:29you would be employed, were you old enough,

0:27:29 > 0:27:31and some of you wouldn't.

0:27:31 > 0:27:36So, Guy, if you could enlighten us, put us out of our misery.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39There are two of you...

0:27:39 > 0:27:42that would be offered a job, if you were old enough.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Safia...

0:27:47 > 0:27:48..and Josh.

0:27:50 > 0:27:51How about that?

0:27:53 > 0:27:59I think it would be fair to say that Josh would be the star employee.

0:28:01 > 0:28:06Noah, you've lost your crown. You've lost your crown to Josh.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Oh, he's a dude so that's cool.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10A girl will get it next time.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Next time on Show Me What You're Made Of...

0:28:14 > 0:28:17The kids hit a fish factory.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20It's really cold and slimy!

0:28:20 > 0:28:22Can they cope with the smell...

0:28:22 > 0:28:24HE GAGS

0:28:24 > 0:28:26..and their toughest boss yet?

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Don't be rude. You're wasting my time.
