0:00:11 > 0:00:14All right, Mavis, how's it going?!
0:00:14 > 0:00:16Can I have some of the response team,
0:00:16 > 0:00:20just at the top where the balloons are?
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Someone call the police, let's keep 'em till the police come.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26No, he doesn't go nowhere, he doesn't go nowhere, he doesn't go nowhere.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29The police are on their way, the police are on their way.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Sit down, sit down.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Sit down, man!
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Darlington, north-east England.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38In this historic market town...
0:00:40 > 0:00:44..one man's on a mission to make crime a thing of the past.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46It's Sparta on patrol.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Fearless Francis Jones.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53If you have a problem day or night...
0:00:53 > 0:00:56I'm like a doctor to the burglars. I give them their medicine.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58If no-one else can help...
0:00:58 > 0:01:00There's no escape from Francis Jones.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03People always say I'm different, like.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04..and if you can find him...
0:01:04 > 0:01:10Socks goes over the shoes, cos Billy burglar, he can hear my shoes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13..maybe you can hire Sparta Security.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Spartan Warriors was a tribe of people who had courage,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19who were strong.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23When you drive down the road, the kids always shout, "This is Sparta!"
0:01:25 > 0:01:29What you are doing is akin to a Christian paramilitary
0:01:29 > 0:01:32organisation, albeit without weapons.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35If you want a steak, you go and get a sirloin.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37If you want ice-cream you go to Tom & Jerry's.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40If you want security, you come and see Spartacus.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42SIREN
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Since starting Sparta Security...
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Hello there.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56..Francis Jones has become a familiar name in businesses
0:01:56 > 0:01:58across Darlington.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01He's honest, quite a character.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I would trust him with my life.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07He's got a reputation of doing things, er...
0:02:07 > 0:02:08not by the book, let's say.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Ooh, Sparta Security, that's going straight in my basket!
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Francis is very good looking, which always helps.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15HE LAUGHS
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Do you feel like you're making a difference?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19I don't feel like I'm making a difference,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I KNOW I'm making a difference.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24What do you know of Sparta Security?
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Not a great deal.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I don't know what they're doing!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Have you heard of Francis Jones?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I haven't actually, no.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Francis wants to extend the company footprint into rural areas
0:02:39 > 0:02:41outside of town.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46We want to be the name on people's lips, right?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48I need different initiatives and ways.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53Sparta Farm Watch, Sparta Street Safe, Sparta Burglar Watch.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Monday, teatime.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01We're going to go to a fish pond that has been getting
0:03:01 > 0:03:05targeted by people without licences going in, stealing carp,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08salmon and other types of fish.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Francis is responding to reports of unauthorised fly fishing.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13They're fish burglars.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I'm having a meeting first of all with the fish owner.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- OK, Francis? - Are you OK, mate?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Welcome to Cleasby Small Lake.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23We've got coarse fishing, but we also stock a rainbow trout
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- and a brown trout. - Yep.- They're edible.- Yeah.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29So people are using illegal methods to catch two dozen,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32three dozen fish, taking them away and selling them in the pubs.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And each fish costs us £2 or £3 at least.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38So you multiply that by several hundred fish, we can't afford it.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- Yeah.- Now, you wouldn't expect a farmer to have a lamb taken...- No.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44..but people will come and take fish.
0:03:44 > 0:03:50I would say try it for six weeks and I would suggest ten patrols a week.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Yeah, that sounds all right to me.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54And then... And hopefully your problem will stop.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00We're looking for burglars, looking for fish burglars.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05He's got a problem which we're kind of leading the way in,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08experts in, catching slinks.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10You've gotta think like one.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13They come through there and hide there.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16It's not a great military job, you know, it's just basically
0:04:16 > 0:04:20catching...Billy the burglar.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23The client's impressed with the Sparta sales pitch.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26126 years we've been going as a fishing club so, really,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28do we want anybody like that?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Well, the answer is yeah. Now I've met him, the answer's yes.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Yes, we do.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Fish watch is on.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Darlo's trout thieves could soon be out of their depth.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40At Sparta HQ...
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I put false tan on me face last night and went to sleep on my hand.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48..office team Clare and Rachel are discussing important business.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52When I get a spray tan... I mean, you see how dark I am,
0:04:52 > 0:04:53but then my boobs are so white.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Well, why do you wear a bra when you get a spray tan?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58You stand there with nowt on?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- I'm shy.- Well, get some of the little nipple covers.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Loads of women get spray tans with no clothes on, don't they?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- I don't know, do they?- Little nipple covers, you can get them in Primark.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I don't bother, I just let mine stick out.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15But the girls don't have time to talk tanning tips all day.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19I'll give you her number and you can ring her or she can ring you,
0:05:19 > 0:05:21whatever, and sort it out for Saturday.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24The busy summer season's starting and they've been tasked with
0:05:24 > 0:05:27recruiting a team of stewards for a local festival.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29We do all of the work.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32You don't mean Francis does any work, do you?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Like what? Eats crisps? - Yeah.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Walks the dog?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39He doesn't do any work, he just sits there, his phone rings
0:05:39 > 0:05:41and he goes, "Yeah, yeah."
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Then he goes "Rach, we need 20 lads for a job."
0:05:43 > 0:05:45That's Francis' idea of grafting
0:05:45 > 0:05:50and then I'm like this, "Hi, hello, can you help me?"
0:05:50 > 0:05:51While he's doing whatever.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Tonight Francis IS going to work.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Mr Fish Lips will be getting caught by Spartacus
0:06:01 > 0:06:04because they're on our site.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Under cover of darkness, he's going on the first of his ten patrols
0:06:08 > 0:06:10a week to catch Darlington's fish thieves.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14I'm expecting there to be a fishy night.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Francis arrives, eager for the mission ahead.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23See if there's a burglar on this pond. Oh, boy!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25There's like a massive hawk and some.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Cos that's what I love, I thrive off it, I'm an adrenalin junkie.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37I can see someone.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Using specialist surveillance kit, Francis detects movement.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44There's a lot of sheep in that field.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47So far no suspects in sight.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Francis sprints around the perimeter of the six-acre lake.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59No-one there.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03The fish thieves haven't surfaced.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07I lost a stud in about 100 piles of dog muck and cow muck
0:07:07 > 0:07:12and sheep muck, but that's what it takes to become a super hero,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Spartacus of this town.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Listen, I never caught no-one, cos no-one's here.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I can hear something over there.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22If I'd have... Oh it's a fish, it's a fish in the pond.
0:07:22 > 0:07:28After an unsuccessful stakeout, Francis heads home with an appetite.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32You know, like, women have hormone feelings and they think,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34"Oh, I want this, I want that"?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Do you know what I could just eat now?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Fish and chips.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Ah, I really want me job back, like. I...
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Luke "Pembo" Pemberton recently lost his job at Sparta.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I did let him down, I understand that, I purely let him down.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I'm not going to lie, yes, I was li... I was doing it,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I was messing around a little bit.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Whilst Francis was on a crusade against nuisance bikers, Pembo
0:08:02 > 0:08:06was caught on the back of a quad bike and paid the ultimate price.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I should have just been honest and told the truth,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I shouldn't have lied. I mean, that just broke my trust,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13do you know what I mean? So all I can do is say sorry.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Obviously, I understand it's a trust issue,
0:08:16 > 0:08:17but I'm still going to get out,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I want to get these signs everywhere.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Pembo's not giving up on his Sparta career.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Even if I don't get paid, I still want to sh...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I still want to shine, I want to prove to him.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I will still do little bits like this.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32He's out trying to get company stickers in windows
0:08:32 > 0:08:34in the hope of another chance.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Bet they looked at me and thought,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38"Where's this lad going with his hair?!"
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Is it possible to put one on your window?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I'll have a word with the boss, but I don't see why not.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Doesn't want it?
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Yeah, no problem, mate.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51It's a free service that I'm offering you, a little sticker that goes in the window,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54- It's a deterrent against 'em, you see.- Yeah.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56The site is actually already secured.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Is the boss around or someone who I could speak to?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00No, the boss is out, the boss'll be back in a bit.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02he's just nipped to Boro.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04So far the punters aren't buying.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07They don't understand, it's free. It's a little bit of thing that goes on your...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It's a little bit of information goes on your window.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12It stops burglars, it stops thieves, it's free.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13But they don't want it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Cos you know what it is? You can't teach pork.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22With no Pembo, Rachel needs more young talent to make
0:09:22 > 0:09:24the festival a success.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Are you two here for an interview? - Yeah.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30If you just want to go down the stairs.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32As Francis has been busy with his night patrols,
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Rachel's taking the lead on recruitment.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- Hello, are you here for an interview as well?- Yeah.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Sparta's regular guards all have security licences,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43but these aren't necessary for stewarding.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46You know, you've just got to give 'em a try, haven't you?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48So Rachel's casting the net wider,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51to give others the opportunity of work.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54These lads just want a chance, they just want a chance.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56That's what it's all about - giving people a chance that no-one
0:09:56 > 0:09:59else'll give a chance. All right, my head's on the block, but...
0:09:59 > 0:10:01You know, how are these kids supposed to get experience
0:10:01 > 0:10:03and get a start in life if people say,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06"You haven't got any experience, you can't have a job"?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13So do you have any experience in working in security at all?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Erm, yeah... Yes and no.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17And I've got my certificate, so...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Right, what certificates do you have?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Erm, I've got a birth certificate.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Do you have a CV at all, Tom, or not?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I did have an up-to-date one, but I haven't got one at the minute, no.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Have you got a telephone number there, Ashley?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33I have, but I don't know it off by heart, unfortunately.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36How do you want us to get in contact with you then?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Erm...
0:10:39 > 0:10:41If you see two people and there's possibly alcohol involved
0:10:41 > 0:10:44and they're having a sort of a set to,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46how do you think you would deal with that?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Talk in a calm and...
0:10:48 > 0:10:51In a calm and, like, casual way and just say, like,
0:10:51 > 0:10:52"Don't spoil yourselves, lads".
0:10:52 > 0:10:56The first thing is I would call over a member of, like, higher up
0:10:56 > 0:10:59than me to see where it goes from there.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Right, OK. Well, we'll give you a shout.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08They were all nice people, but there were a couple that I wouldn't use.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11I can't lock this door.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I'm a bonny security woman and I can't even lock the door!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18At the industrial estate...
0:11:18 > 0:11:21All you can do is try, mate.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23..Pembo's still trying to promote the company,
0:11:23 > 0:11:25despite being off the payroll.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26So all it is it's a little deterrent,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- There's no price there, it's a free service.- Yeah.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Just a little sticker to go on your window.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32We can't. With it being, like, a carpet company,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35we have to be told what we display in our windows...
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Yeah, no problem. - ..unfortunately. Sorry about that.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Thanks for your time, darling.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42All it is is a little sticker, it's a little deterrent that
0:11:42 > 0:11:44just goes in your window. Is it possible to put it on?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Yeah.- Yeah, no problem, right, thank you for that, mate.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Finally... HE LAUGHS
0:11:50 > 0:11:52..he's got a result.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Least I might get my job back.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56When he's driving his car and he'll look at that
0:11:56 > 0:11:58and he'll know that I've put that up and it'll give me...
0:11:58 > 0:11:59He should smile, I think,
0:11:59 > 0:12:02and when he sees it, he'll think of me, won't he?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I'll walk in to the Houses Of Parliament and I'll sneak it
0:12:04 > 0:12:07up there and I'll try to preach them all Sparta Security.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Just showing... I don't know,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I'm just showing what I feel comfortable doing.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Here you are, Max!
0:12:20 > 0:12:21In the middle of the busy season,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24staying active is important for Francis.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Yo, you're a queer dog, you.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32But this morning's jog with Max has done more harm than good.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36I went running with the dog this morning
0:12:36 > 0:12:42and the little silly bastard ran in my space, right?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46So I went tumbling to the floor, on concrete as well.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I smashed me head off the floor, I whacked me shoulder
0:12:49 > 0:12:51and I just want to show you this here,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54just so you know what I'm talking about.
0:12:54 > 0:13:01My shoulder there, can you see that shoulder has popped out?
0:13:01 > 0:13:06So I'm a little bit under the under the weather today
0:13:06 > 0:13:08and if you see me, obviously,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12and I'm not as sharp as a carrot, then that's the reason,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14that's because... You know?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16So I'm just letting you know.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Doctor's orders are to avoid wrestling burglars
0:13:19 > 0:13:21while the injury heals.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Me shoulder's dislocated, I should have it in a sling, but my dad
0:13:24 > 0:13:27said, right, he said, "Don't have it in a sling."
0:13:27 > 0:13:29He said, "Cos you're showing people you've got a weakness."
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Do you know what I'm saying there?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Cos I'm a fighting man, that's what I am.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36So... And instead of meeting confrontation head on,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39I maybe somehow have to sidestep it.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Oh, no, the dog's having a shit and I have no bags.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Max!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- DOG BARKS - Oi, no, no!
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Go out, you'll go out if you start working yourself.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Despite Francis' injury,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02the show must go on for Sparta's upcoming event.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Oh, it's not straightforward, you have about 50,000 people through
0:14:05 > 0:14:07there, so you'll have naughty parties there,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11you'll have people who's looking to cause trouble.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Rachel's already done a recruitment drive to find young
0:14:13 > 0:14:15talent for the festival...
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Stand up, Dean, please.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20..but Francis has insisted on hiring more experienced staff to
0:14:20 > 0:14:24back him up, so Rachel's interviewees have missed out.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Dean's trained in origami, yeah?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I'm telling you now, right, this kid can have that bit in two,
0:14:29 > 0:14:31no problem at all, but you know...
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I'll tell you what he's trained in, he's trained in good manners.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37He's trained in common sense and he's trained in how
0:14:37 > 0:14:38to diffuse any confrontation,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42cos the idea is I don't want it escalating now, I want it diffusing.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50It's the day of the Middlesbrough Balloon Festival.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53We're a team and you've got to defend yourself.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Doctor's orders are for Francis to keep his sling on all day.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59So, hello, folks, loads of you who I haven't met -
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Francis Jones, Sparta Security, cheers for turning up today.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06He's making an exception for his rousing speech to the troops.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Put your hand up, please, Mitchell and Antonia.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11You two, did you come together?
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Boyfriend and girlfriend?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14No.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Er, Grant, we're going to have to take that coat off, mate.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Later on, yeah? It looks scruffy.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Hands in your pockets, boys, doesn't happen, do you know?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Before I start any shift, I always pray for me boys.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26I ask God who looks after us, you know, and protects us.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I want us to have courage, I want us to back each other up.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31If I get someone puts one of them on me chin,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I expect you to be on the ball.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37OK, we're a team today, the 300s, right?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Potential trouble spots at the event include the Teapot ride,
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Lucky Dip stall and Crooked Cottage Funhouse.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49So I'll be patrolling the perimeter,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I'll be floating about in the festival.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55I would like us all to be on our toes, you've got to defend yourself.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58I don't want no fighting, but if anyone comes for it and puts
0:15:58 > 0:16:00it on you, you know they get put out.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I mean, put out of the venue, yeah?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Sparta's services are required at the main stage where pop music
0:16:08 > 0:16:11royalty are about to perform.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16You've got a crowd causing trouble,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19then it can put you off and, you know, you can miss your cues
0:16:19 > 0:16:21and miss your dances and things,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23so we've gotta be able to get on with it, haven't we?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Yeah, just safe and secure in your own work environment, knowing
0:16:26 > 0:16:29that you've got the people on hand to help you out if you need it.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Francis needs to make sure Take That Live's adoring public don't
0:16:33 > 0:16:35get too close for comfort.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37It's almost like they think you're the real Take That sometimes
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- and they...- They'll still pull you off the stage.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42They'll jump all over you, they'll scream at you, you know?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45And you've got to sort of hold them back.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47If you've got security you don't need to worry.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50OK, after three, two, one, off we go, then.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59We did private security on Sir Bobby Robson, England football team.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01We've had professional boxers,
0:17:01 > 0:17:05elite movie stars which we've secured and protected.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08We have the X Factor.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Now added to the client list, Take That Live on the Balloons
0:17:11 > 0:17:13and Tunes stage.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17# To believe in the night
0:17:17 > 0:17:18# Want a date to belong
0:17:18 > 0:17:21# To a face in the crowd to the beat of your heart
0:17:21 > 0:17:25# And the moment begins And you're working it out. #
0:17:25 > 0:17:30With a heavy security presence, the gig passes without incident.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33# Oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
0:17:33 > 0:17:37# These days. #
0:17:37 > 0:17:39CHEERING
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Thank you, everyone. Thank you.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Once the rock stars are safely back in the Green Room...
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Cheers, boys.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49..talk turns to Pembo.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I don't want him to try and get his job back
0:17:52 > 0:17:55because he's out of Sparta's doors and erm, you know,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58that's that, you know, that's the end.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01It's a shame, you know, we give the lad a chance,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03he enjoyed his job, but he messed up.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06We run a super professional company and we say we're the best,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10we stand out from the rest, so you know it's, erm, it's life.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14You know, Rocky says, Rocky Balboa, "shit happens" and it does.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21While Pembo waits to see if he does get another chance...
0:18:21 > 0:18:24I'm just trying to get myself back into employment.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26..he's been considering other options.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30I lost my job off Francis so I'm happy now, I'm going to
0:18:30 > 0:18:33go and meet this woman, hopefully a potential start tomorrow.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36I know it's only industrial cleaning, but it could be...
0:18:36 > 0:18:40It's only part-time. It could be going for temp...
0:18:40 > 0:18:41Like for permanent.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I've just got to work my hardest, haven't I?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49If this goes well, it really could be the end for Pembo and Francis.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51One day.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05At the festival, and without his right-hand man,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Francis has grudgingly put the sling on as night time approaches.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12It's taken away his power, it's taken away his super hero,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15he feels like just a normal member of the public,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18rather than a professional boxer.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I mean, he can take on two or three men on his own, normally.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25It's really getting to him now, definitely.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I don't like it, I hate it, I feel useless.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I tell you how it makes me feel.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35I've got a lass and my penis is tiny and, you know, she's dated
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Dirk Diggler for like a year and now she's with me.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41A little tiny corey.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43And so what is there, right...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Erm, you know, I feel a little bit vulnerable.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53The festival clientele is starting to change.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56It's coming into the evening when the chavs come in,
0:19:56 > 0:19:57do you know what I'm saying?
0:19:57 > 0:20:01So we need to be on the ball, cos you'll have the boyos, the young
0:20:01 > 0:20:04kids, and this, that and the other, all coming, congregating, trying
0:20:04 > 0:20:07to show off to their girlfriends and they could be frisked.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Get in!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12All right, Mavis, how's it going?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15The evening crowd are making their presence felt around the Waltzer.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20There's a load of kids. I want the rapid response team,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23there could be juice, so I want all the boys here. OK, lads?
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Lads, I want youse off here, boys.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I want youse off here, boys, all right?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34The festival's drawing to an end.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37For Francis, so far, it's gone well.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40We came, we had a mission to do and we've smashed it.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Hey, there's no bother, there's no bother, just patrol,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48keep an eye open for any trouble, OK, mate?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Most of the team have clocked off, leaving Francis
0:20:51 > 0:20:53and a few others for the last half hour.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56INDISTINCT RADIO CRACKLE
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Then suddenly...
0:20:58 > 0:20:59- RADIO:- 'Car park...'
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Code Red from the car park.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Someone call the police, let's keep him till the police come.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05What happened?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08No, no, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about him.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Call the police.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13No, he doesn't go nowhere, he doesn't go nowhere, he doesn't go nowhere.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Can I have some security to the car park, please?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Lads, I do not want him to go nowhere, do you understand, yeah?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- RADIO:- 'On me way now, me and Richie are on our way now.'
0:21:23 > 0:21:24No, no, you stay, you sit down.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26He sits down, just sit down!
0:21:26 > 0:21:29A boy's been accused of smashing a car window
0:21:29 > 0:21:31and detained by Sparta till the police arrive.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I didn't do anything to no-one...
0:21:33 > 0:21:37The police are on their way, the police are on their way, is they?
0:21:37 > 0:21:38SUSPECT MUMBLES
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Francis and three others are surrounded by around 20 youths.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Sit yourself down. Boys, if you... If you want to...
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Sit down! Sit down! Sit down, man!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Listen to me.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56We've called the police, we told them it was an emergency.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58It's scary for Francis,
0:21:58 > 0:22:03he's holding a kid with 20 of the kid's friends around him,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06waiting for the police to come because obviously
0:22:06 > 0:22:09we can't actually arrest the kid.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Francis tries to keep control of the situation till help arrives.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Who's the boyo in this group?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Just so I know - is any right hands going?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Cos your chin's going to get taken off his jaw.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Who's the boyo in this group?
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I'm calm, I'm calm, but I'm just... Because...
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Cos I'm the boyo out of our group,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30so that's what's going to happen, yeah.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34There's a big group of 16-20 year olds, carrying razor
0:22:34 > 0:22:37blades which is what we were informed of.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40You've got piranha fish around you
0:22:40 > 0:22:42and you're bleeding in the water.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45I'm not taking no chances, that piranha fish there,
0:22:45 > 0:22:49when I turned around, had his hands up.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51The police should be there now.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Eventually the cavalry arrive.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00The suspect's questioned by the police and, for Sparta,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02the job is done.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05We were supposed to come off at ten o'clock, but we stayed
0:23:05 > 0:23:08till half ten and it's a good job for the event organiser, really,
0:23:08 > 0:23:13cos, you know, we stopped someone from maybe being assaulted.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24At the office, a debrief shows how much danger the balloon
0:23:24 > 0:23:26festival team could have been in.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Jim, you had took this off one of the youths when this happened
0:23:30 > 0:23:35and I was surrounded by a load of wolves - 15-20-year-olds.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40A 15-20-year-old can put that down your throat and it got very heated.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44The guy went to... I think he pulled out a cigarette packet
0:23:44 > 0:23:47out of his pocket and I saw that fall to the floor.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I just took it off him, I said, "You ain't getting it back," so...
0:23:50 > 0:23:53We also took one of these. I found it on the floor
0:23:53 > 0:23:56when the youths had dispersed.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Weapons, knives and such like, you just don't see them coming.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04You prevented a possible dangerous situation happening, you know,
0:24:04 > 0:24:08so well done, you made me very happy so good on you.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Francis is back at the angling lake where fish thieves have been
0:24:14 > 0:24:16sinking profits.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19This is a sign that we're going to put up.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23I think when the fish burglars see this sign they will be wary,
0:24:23 > 0:24:30they'll be on their toes because we patrol undercover, under radar.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33And his nocturnal solo missions haven't been in vain.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35We've had the odd problem,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38but the word soon spread that Francis was about
0:24:38 > 0:24:39and Sparta, um...
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Yeah, so it's been... It's been money well spent.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47I want to spread the word of God which is the Bible.
0:24:47 > 0:24:53I always put a different Bible quote on the signs.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02After a busy week...
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Hello, folks, how are you doing?
0:25:04 > 0:25:05..Francis is in high spirits.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08I'm going to get a handle and put it in that place,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11so people have to turn there.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Fiddle with it. - Fiddle with me to get in.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17On his to-do list - catching up with a former employee.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19'Can you hear me, Francis?'
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Hello, Pembo, can you hear me? - 'Yeah.'
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Pembo, all right, all right, Pembo.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Pembo's been trying to get his Sparta job back.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29This could be his lucky day.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Pembo, can you come to the office now, please?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- 'I'm just on me way to Newcastle.' - Oh, is it?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38'I've got a... I start work tomorrow at half past seven.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- 'Do you know the train company?' - Oh, yeah, OK.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44'Yeah, industrial cleaning.'
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- How many hours a week? - 'Er, 45.'
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- 45 hours, eh? - 'Yeah.'
0:25:50 > 0:25:53See how it goes, isn't it? Do you know? Cos it'll be hard work.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Yeah, that's what it is.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Start there, mate, we'll have a chat Sunday
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- at church.- 'Yeah, I'll catch you at the end,
0:25:59 > 0:26:01'we'll go and have some dinner, right?'
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Yeah. All right, bye-bye.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Looks like Francis has lost his sidekick for good.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15I gave him a ladder, I gave him a hand up.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18People sometimes get in a ditch, whether it's in drugs, drink
0:26:18 > 0:26:22and so it's kind of like a ladder out of the ditch, a helping hand.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25I wish him luck.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I wish him the very best of luck cos I do think he'll probably need it.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32I've made a friend, haven't I? He wasn't just a boss, he was my friend.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35It's not that I fell out with Francis, or nothing.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37At the end of the day, we're still mates, you know what I mean?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I just don't work for Sparta.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42You know, with Sparta he had a mentor in myself,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44trying to help him, guide him,
0:26:44 > 0:26:49but he won't have a mentor who's on his wavelength in his new job.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Francis is always taking in people.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55He genuinely does want to help and he tries his best,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58he does, he tries his very best.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04He'll repay the same love that I give him to other people.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08It's like a triangle. I give you love and you will do that to
0:27:08 > 0:27:10someone else and then they will do that to someone else.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13It's maybe just more like a square, you know,
0:27:13 > 0:27:15but it's great.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Next time...
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I mean, what happens if he's burgled now?
0:27:19 > 0:27:20He'll get rid of Sparta.
