I'm Terry Walker, and this is my scrap yard.

0:00:040:00:08

-Morning, boss!

-All right, Coxy!

0:00:080:00:10

-Want a brew?

-Cup of tea, please. Happy days.

0:00:100:00:12

'There's profit in every ounce of a scrap car.'

0:00:140:00:16

50 quid, pal!

0:00:160:00:18

I buy 'em, strip 'em, squash 'em and then flog the lot.

0:00:180:00:22

What a good day!

0:00:220:00:25

I started the yard over 20 years ago.

0:00:250:00:27

A few years after, I met Lyndsay, the wife.

0:00:270:00:29

-Don't go spending money!

-Can I spend it on you, then?

-No problem!

0:00:290:00:35

He just makes money, it's just this knack he's got.

0:00:350:00:38

I do it by employing lads that no-one else will.

0:00:410:00:45

Individually, they're good lads, they're all right.

0:00:450:00:47

But together, they're like a load of hyenas.

0:00:470:00:50

It's like a circus sometimes.

0:00:520:00:54

You've got to keep laughing cos if you don't, you'll cry.

0:00:570:00:59

Move these tyres! Move 'em!

0:00:590:01:01

I won't have the mickey took out of me.

0:01:010:01:03

If they do that, they're history.

0:01:030:01:05

There's more cars to come! Get 'em sorted!

0:01:050:01:07

If they show willing and I can see something in 'em,

0:01:070:01:10

I won't give up on 'em easily.

0:01:100:01:12

Can't get a job nowhere else, nowhere else'll have me!

0:01:120:01:15

It's the Metro family, and it's the family that I've created from scratch.

0:01:150:01:19

It's coming to the end of a tough year.

0:01:340:01:37

But with Christmas round the corner,

0:01:370:01:39

business in the biggest scrap yard in the Northwest is finally on the up.

0:01:390:01:43

I can see the lorries coming through with vehicles,

0:01:430:01:46

the engines are rolling out, the iron alloy is rolling out.

0:01:460:01:48

That's all you can ask for really.

0:01:480:01:50

Very busy at the yard at the minute.

0:01:530:01:57

It is fair to say, it's running a little bit better now.

0:01:570:02:01

He's been a good boy, for once.

0:02:010:02:03

Couldn't be better really. It's a really good end to the year.

0:02:030:02:07

Terry and Lyndsay are on a mission to end the year

0:02:070:02:10

with their business in profit and plan for the future.

0:02:100:02:13

I want to see us in ten years' time a lot more relaxed than we are now.

0:02:130:02:18

That's what I want. Maybe, fingers crossed, we will be.

0:02:190:02:23

But Terry has other ideas.

0:02:230:02:26

If I could sell everything, I could retire tomorrow. But I wouldn't.

0:02:260:02:30

-Too boring sat at home. I'd feel guilty.

-I'd die of guilt.

0:02:300:02:34

Lyndsay has finally got him running the yard the way she wants.

0:02:340:02:38

But will she ever get him to slow down?

0:02:400:02:42

Come on, get it shifted!

0:02:420:02:44

It's the week before Christmas,

0:02:580:02:59

and now that things in the yard

0:02:590:03:01

are ticking over nicely, boss Terry has some time on his hands.

0:03:010:03:05

But rather than put his feet up and enjoy the fruits of his labour...

0:03:070:03:11

Come through here, Coxy. Start here!

0:03:110:03:13

..he's branching out.

0:03:130:03:15

We've just took a consignment of salt, 20 tonnes of rock salt

0:03:150:03:19

and 800 snow shovels.

0:03:190:03:21

So we're going to sell it

0:03:210:03:23

for less than half of what it's costing in the big stores.

0:03:230:03:26

He's probably bored. He needs another buzz.

0:03:260:03:30

That is definitely what it is. He's got to be doing something, spending!

0:03:300:03:37

Our Lyndsay said that in the shops, these are between £8-£10 each

0:03:370:03:43

but you can get one today for £5.

0:03:430:03:46

I'll keep me eye on that bank account.

0:03:460:03:49

All this salt and shovels all ready for the bad weather,

0:03:490:03:54

when t'snow comes.

0:03:540:03:56

Now we've bought all this, there won't be no snow!

0:03:560:04:01

It is definitely going to snow soon.

0:04:010:04:04

We've been checking the weather daily.

0:04:040:04:07

Whoa!

0:04:070:04:08

It doesn't matter what it is, if there's a profit in it, it's got to be bought.

0:04:100:04:14

In fact, I could do with another lorry load.

0:04:140:04:18

Along with 20 tonnes of salt and 800 snow shovels,

0:04:180:04:21

there's another addition to the yard,

0:04:210:04:24

but this one is less likely to be making them money.

0:04:240:04:27

Right, come on!

0:04:270:04:28

-So you happy to be back then or what?

-Yeah, course I am.

0:04:280:04:31

Christmas is only around the corner now, bad boy.

0:04:310:04:36

Back with t'family.

0:04:360:04:38

Terry has decided to give Boyle one last chance after he was sacked

0:04:380:04:42

for pinching some scrap metal from the yard a few weeks ago.

0:04:420:04:45

Lift it and pull it cos you're stuck on t'edge.

0:04:450:04:48

As punishment, Terry's assigned him a tough job -

0:04:480:04:50

to organise engines for an export order,

0:04:500:04:53

under Little Dave's supervision.

0:04:530:04:55

No, this is coming out.

0:04:550:04:57

Oh, yeah. It's got green paint on it.

0:04:570:05:01

You've got to buckle down, mate. Be in every day, don't be late.

0:05:010:05:05

You know, like you was this morning.

0:05:050:05:08

Slowly, slowly!

0:05:080:05:10

I think he's rubbed up a lot of people up the wrong way, including me,

0:05:100:05:14

but I'm glad to have Boyle back

0:05:140:05:16

as long as he is here to work and not mess about.

0:05:160:05:20

Cos as soon as he starts messing about, I don't want to know.

0:05:200:05:23

It's important, isn't it?

0:05:230:05:25

I'm not going to do anything, I've not touched nothing,

0:05:250:05:27

I'm just doing everything he says.

0:05:270:05:30

I'm not a kid now, no more. I'm going to be a good lad now.

0:05:310:05:34

-Right Mr Sandman, here's the money what we agreed on.

-It's all there?

0:05:370:05:42

-Yeah, all there, spend it wisely.

-Will do. Use the sand wisely!

0:05:420:05:45

-I printed them myself this morning.

-Good man. I made that at t'beach!

0:05:450:05:50

Ha-ha! I'll see you later, pal.

0:05:500:05:52

Terry's paid £1,200 for 20 tonnes of salt.

0:05:540:05:57

He wants to sell each bag for £4,

0:05:570:06:00

which means this deal could make him almost three grand profit.

0:06:000:06:05

But he's not going to just sit back and wait for the snow.

0:06:050:06:09

Instead, he's already hatching another little plan.

0:06:090:06:12

And he's roping in Natalie, the finance assistant.

0:06:120:06:16

Right, I've got an idea that's going to get the banter coming

0:06:160:06:18

-back in the yard.

-Come on, then.

0:06:180:06:21

A calendar for Christmas.

0:06:210:06:23

W-W-What do you mean? Just like car parts or something, just parts?

0:06:230:06:28

-Or people?

-A themed, semi-nude calendar,

0:06:280:06:31

covering our nuptials with car parts.

0:06:310:06:34

So you might dress up in a ra-ra skirt or something like that

0:06:340:06:37

and walk down the yard with just some pit boots on and a hard hat.

0:06:370:06:41

-Don't be daft, I'm not being in it.

-You don't want to be in it?

0:06:410:06:44

-No, I think it should be just the lads.

-But why?

0:06:440:06:48

I'm not being naked. Am I being director?

0:06:480:06:51

That's what I'm here to ask you to do, if you want to spearhead that...

0:06:510:06:57

No worries.

0:06:570:06:58

So I can tell these lads you're doing this and you're wearing this?

0:06:580:07:01

-Yes.

-That's the one.

0:07:010:07:03

Are you going to get quite a few of these calendars and sell them?

0:07:030:07:06

Maybe, yeah. I'm not paying top dollar for them.

0:07:060:07:09

No, we'll get you a price. I'll buy one of them.

0:07:090:07:12

We'll have one in 'ere!

0:07:120:07:16

Can't wait. I need to organise who's going to be in it first,

0:07:160:07:20

because I don't think many of them are going to be willing

0:07:200:07:23

to take their kit off, without a bit of gentle persuasion.

0:07:230:07:27

Oh, my God.

0:07:290:07:30

He's acting strange...very strange.

0:07:320:07:35

It does sound like one of Terry's ideas because it's out the normal.

0:07:400:07:45

Gaz, are you up for getting your kit off?

0:07:450:07:48

Just had me nipple pierced as well!

0:07:480:07:50

Have you? That's a good un'! I swear to God, I did.

0:07:500:07:54

You've got to get on it, it's all about morale boosting!

0:07:540:07:57

Give us a bit of time cos I'll get spray tan on and all that.

0:07:570:08:00

-Get a spray tan, get the nails done.

-Get ready cos it's happening.

-When?

0:08:000:08:05

-Are you putting your name down?

-Yeah, yeah!

-Thought you would.

0:08:050:08:08

-Definitely put me down. I'm a team player, me!

-Same 'ere!

0:08:080:08:11

Lyndsay is trying to get Terry to think more about their future

0:08:150:08:18

and less about the yard.

0:08:180:08:21

-Hi, Terry, you all right?

-Long time no see.

-Hi, you all right?

0:08:210:08:26

She's brought him to a plot of land they own to go through designs

0:08:260:08:30

for the luxury five-bedroom house they hope to build there.

0:08:300:08:33

-You're about 4,500 square feet.

-Big enough, ain't it?

-Yeah.

0:08:330:08:37

It's about three times your average executive house.

0:08:370:08:40

That's massive - you've got three-piece suites in there as well.

0:08:400:08:44

Obviously, we started off with nothing. Nothing.

0:08:470:08:49

He was on the dole and I had three jobs.

0:08:490:08:52

And to actually complete this and just make...

0:08:520:08:57

That would be Terry's mark in Bolton

0:08:570:08:59

of how well he's done and how he's succeeded.

0:08:590:09:03

"Built in 2014 by Terry Walker." You know, it's good.

0:09:030:09:08

This will be absolutely brilliant when it's done, it'll be beautiful.

0:09:090:09:13

It's a one-off. A bit like us. Ha-ha!

0:09:130:09:17

Thing is, once it's completed,

0:09:170:09:19

you'll have to have time off work to enjoy it, won't you?

0:09:190:09:23

I'm of the opinion that, to have your mind occupied doing something

0:09:230:09:27

is better than to be away from, you know, and be bored.

0:09:270:09:32

You could have your mind occupied, though, there's loads to do.

0:09:320:09:35

There'll be lots to do here as well.

0:09:350:09:37

You've got to enjoy it if you're going to do all this work.

0:09:370:09:40

Their dream house will take over two years to build.

0:09:400:09:43

Lyndsay's plan to get Terry to slow down will probably take a bit longer.

0:09:430:09:47

We've come a long way from ready-made curtains

0:09:490:09:52

-from Poundstretcher, haven't we?

-Yeah.

-Ha-ha!

0:09:520:09:55

There's only a few days till Christmas

0:09:590:10:02

and Terry wants to try and shift his consignment of rock salt

0:10:020:10:05

before the end of the year.

0:10:050:10:07

So he's decided to send a few lads out selling it door to door.

0:10:070:10:10

Rock salt! Rock salt! Come and get your rock salt!

0:10:100:10:13

It's the perfect opportunity for Boyle to redeem himself.

0:10:130:10:17

We can sell snow to t'Eskimos us, mate.

0:10:270:10:30

We can sell ice to the ice road truckers. Ha-ha!

0:10:300:10:33

Hiya, love, I'm supplying all the schools and nurseries this year with rock salt. Do you need any?

0:10:330:10:40

OK, no problem, thank you. Bye.

0:10:440:10:46

Just wondered if you're interested in buying any rock salt?

0:10:480:10:52

OK, no problem, thank you very much.

0:10:520:10:54

Yer terrible, mate! Terrible.

0:10:550:10:58

It's not a promising start.

0:10:580:11:00

But Boyle is undeterred and determined to prove himself.

0:11:000:11:04

Hiya, love,

0:11:040:11:05

I spoke to Tony yesterday about some grit salt.

0:11:050:11:08

I'm dropping it off today.

0:11:080:11:10

That's Bolton Blinds, we still ain't been there. We need to go there.

0:11:100:11:13

-We're up at a gym. You know Foggy's gym, the boxing gym?

-Yeah?

0:11:130:11:16

He wants some bags and all, mate.

0:11:160:11:18

-How many bags does he want? Ten?

-I'm just waiting for his reply now.

0:11:180:11:22

They've yet to sell any,

0:11:220:11:23

but they're already considering a drop in price.

0:11:230:11:26

Ten bags 30 quid. We're just going to have to do that today, deals. Ten bags 30 quid, innit?

0:11:260:11:32

Nice one. Thanks for that.

0:11:320:11:34

You can't beat a breakfast for dinner, can you?

0:11:380:11:41

In the yard, Natalie is also trying the hard sell.

0:11:540:11:58

Leave that door open!

0:11:580:11:59

She's recruiting for the calendar,

0:11:590:12:01

but she's up against some tricky customers.

0:12:010:12:04

-Alvin?

-Yes?

0:12:040:12:07

Have you heard about Terry's calendar?

0:12:070:12:12

You just pick a month, take your kit off, job's a good 'un!

0:12:120:12:17

So, do you want to do it?

0:12:170:12:20

-Hmm. Not really.

-What do you mean, no?!

0:12:210:12:25

Rock salt, rock salt, come and get your rock salt.

0:12:260:12:29

-Where is this place?

-This is a nursery. She's called Claire.

0:12:290:12:33

Sounds pretty fit as well, so we might, you know, might be in there,

0:12:330:12:37

numbers and that. Eh?!

0:12:370:12:38

Right, I'll go in and sort the deal out, you know,

0:12:380:12:41

-cos she did speak to me.

-Hey, hold on!

0:12:410:12:43

-Hi, is it Claire?

-No, it's Sam.

-Sam. You all right?

-Yeah. There you go.

0:12:430:12:47

Right, I'll just give you the 10 bags. Where do you want 'em?

0:12:470:12:50

-Er, in there, please.

-In that?

-Yeah.

0:12:500:12:52

In that, right, I'll put 'em in now.

0:12:520:12:54

Right, so it's 10 bags, Lee.

0:12:540:12:56

You give 'em me and I'll put 'em down.

0:12:580:13:01

-Er, I don't know. One minute.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

0:13:030:13:06

All right, thank you very much, Sam. See you later.

0:13:060:13:09

Yeah, we aim on making around £500 today, if not more.

0:13:120:13:15

-Made our first 30 quid, though, just then, didn't we?

-Yeah, first job.

0:13:170:13:21

First job, 30 quid.

0:13:210:13:23

Hiya, love.

0:13:250:13:26

Lee? He's in t'truck.

0:13:260:13:29

I just wondered if you wanted any grit salt.

0:13:290:13:31

Ten bags for 30 quid or five for 15 quid.

0:13:310:13:34

Shall I ask Mike and we might have five? Yeah.

0:13:340:13:37

-Five each?

-Yeah.

0:13:370:13:39

Right, there's your other bag, Sue.

0:13:390:13:41

90... 100 quid.

0:13:530:13:55

So we've sold half a pallet.

0:13:550:13:58

It's 100 quid, it's not a lot, but it's better than nothing.

0:13:580:14:01

He'll still be happy with it.

0:14:010:14:04

-All right, mate, how you doin'?

-Whoa! Yes, that'll do.

0:14:040:14:06

Do you want it? Do you want it?

0:14:060:14:09

A whole truck all gone.

0:14:090:14:11

Nobody's wanting spares, so we've got all those spares...

0:14:110:14:13

We'll give you that at the end of t'day, cos you'll spend it.

0:14:130:14:16

Yeah, I'm dead pleased with him, at the moment,

0:14:160:14:19

but I don't like saying things like that, cos it just tempts fate.

0:14:190:14:22

When you say, "Oh, yeah, I'm dead pleased with him," next minute

0:14:220:14:26

he's doing something wrong, like driving Lee's truck now.

0:14:260:14:29

Boyle's been out this morning

0:14:310:14:32

and he's just got a nice little wad on him there, and I thought,

0:14:320:14:35

-"What a good do."

-I'll see how long it lasts, eh?

0:14:350:14:38

Yeah, you're very optimistic, aren't you, Lyndsay?

0:14:380:14:40

-No, not with Boyley.

-No.

0:14:400:14:42

Don't worry, we'll give you some money later,

0:14:420:14:44

we've got plenty of money for you in a bit.

0:14:440:14:47

Hi, Lee.

0:14:480:14:49

Hi, Natalie.

0:14:510:14:52

-Right, Terry has just come up with this idea...

-Right.

0:14:520:14:57

..of a semi-naked calendar.

0:14:570:15:00

-Right...

-So basically you want me to get me kit off,

0:15:000:15:04

-get in t'yard and pose.

-Yeah.

0:15:040:15:06

-For a calendar.

-Yeah.

0:15:060:15:08

-In me home town.

-Yeah.

-Are you for real?

-No, come on.

0:15:080:15:12

Oh, my God, listen. I've come here to sell parts, make money,

0:15:120:15:15

not do calendars. Who comes up with these ideas?

0:15:150:15:18

Terry, you know what he's like.

0:15:180:15:20

What month can I put you down for?

0:15:200:15:22

Cos if you just say no, I'll just put you down anyway.

0:15:220:15:25

Erm, what's left?

0:15:250:15:26

March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October

0:15:260:15:29

and November and December.

0:15:290:15:31

-I'll be July.

-Terry's definitely got to be January.

0:15:310:15:33

You know, he can be on t'front of the cover.

0:15:330:15:37

Terry's on another mission to make some quick cash

0:15:370:15:40

before the yard closes for Christmas.

0:15:400:15:43

Get stuck into them, get it all cleared.

0:15:430:15:46

He wants to separate out the alloy

0:15:460:15:48

and the metal wheels they've been collecting and then cash them in.

0:15:480:15:52

Alloy wheels, ten pound a piece. Roughly.

0:15:530:15:56

All the alloy wheels are mixed in with the steel wheels.

0:15:580:16:01

We've got two skips down there that need filling. Get some money in.

0:16:010:16:04

We used to fill a skip per week with about three tonne in it,

0:16:050:16:09

so that's three grand.

0:16:090:16:10

The metal wheel rims, that's only 150 pound a tonne at the moment.

0:16:100:16:15

But you get seven tonne in there.

0:16:150:16:17

It's about a grand, something like that. 1,500 quid sometimes.

0:16:170:16:20

Better than a kick up t'backside.

0:16:200:16:22

But as the day draws to a close

0:16:250:16:27

there's only one topic of conversation.

0:16:270:16:31

Dave!

0:16:310:16:32

Listen, marra.

0:16:320:16:35

-Are you doing this shoot, you, or what?

-What shoot's that, mate?

0:16:350:16:39

-This calendar thing.

-Naked?

-This is what I'm saying.

0:16:390:16:42

Don't forget, these calendars, they're going out

0:16:420:16:44

-round Bolton and Manchester and whatnot.

-Are they?

0:16:440:16:46

-We'll be a laughing stock.

-Yeah, so I'm not...

0:16:460:16:48

-Got a rep, me, marra, you know what I'm saying?

-I have as well, mate. I'm not up for that, mate.

0:16:480:16:52

See you in a bit, marra.

0:16:520:16:54

It's a bit OTT, that, innit? Naked.

0:16:540:16:57

Coxy!

0:16:570:16:59

What do you think about this calendar, marra?

0:16:590:17:02

-Just a calendar, innit?

-So you going to get all your kit off?

-Yeah.

0:17:020:17:05

-I don't mind it.

-All your kit?

-Yeah.

-Come on.

0:17:050:17:08

Cos you only live once in life so you might as well do what you can.

0:17:090:17:12

Oh, yeah, man, yeah, man.

0:17:120:17:13

With just one day to go before the big photoshoot,

0:17:130:17:16

Natalie is worried about the turnout.

0:17:160:17:19

Everybody, all the lads, they don't want to do it.

0:17:190:17:22

-It's been a nightmare.

-They don't want to do it?

-No.

0:17:220:17:25

It's not rocket science. Take a photo with a part in their hand.

0:17:250:17:28

So tomorrow...will be fun.

0:17:280:17:31

You could possibly see me tearing me hair out.

0:17:310:17:34

Bloody hell, why do I always get them that's tangled up?

0:17:440:17:47

Oblivious to the problems with the calendar, Terry's at home

0:17:490:17:52

and wrapped up in another idea.

0:17:520:17:55

I've just decided to surprise our Lyndsay.

0:17:550:17:58

She knows I'm up to summat, cos she come before, she said, "Why have you got a cheeky face?

0:17:580:18:01

"You look like you're up to summat." I said, "I'm not, I'm just putting a few lights up."

0:18:010:18:06

But she thinks I've paid 9.99 for 'em,

0:18:060:18:10

so she doesn't realise how many's going up.

0:18:100:18:13

Altogether now, I think there's about three and a half thousand bulbs.

0:18:160:18:20

I'm sick of Rudolph.

0:18:220:18:23

Oh, my God.

0:18:270:18:30

What you thinking?

0:18:300:18:31

It's like bloody...Santa's grotto!

0:18:310:18:35

-Look what we've done for you.

-Oh, my God.

0:18:350:18:37

-9.99?

-9.99!

0:18:450:18:47

Flipping hell.

0:18:470:18:50

Yeah(!) At plug!

0:18:500:18:52

-You've done a good job.

-Yeah.

0:18:520:18:53

I pay this electric bill, you know. Not you!

0:18:550:18:58

-Right, do you like it, then?

-It's lovely.

-Right, give us a power hug, then.

0:18:580:19:02

It were worthwhile, that, just to get that.

0:19:050:19:09

You know what's appertaining today, don't you?

0:19:150:19:18

Yeah, yeah, er...photoshoot, innit?

0:19:180:19:20

Most of the lads are reluctant to take part in Terry's calendar shoot.

0:19:200:19:24

But Boyle is keen to keep in the boss's good books.

0:19:240:19:26

It's all right, I'll get me kecks off.

0:19:260:19:29

-What about young Dave, do you think he'll be up for it?

-I don't know.

0:19:290:19:32

Your face is looking a bit beetroot.

0:19:320:19:34

I've been on t'sunbeds, ain't I, 12 and a half minutes.

0:19:340:19:36

Sure you were only on that sunbed for 12 and a half minutes?

0:19:380:19:41

Yeah. I went on last night for ten as well, though, didn't I?

0:19:410:19:44

Bloody hell. Look like you've got a strawberry on your nose.

0:19:440:19:48

-Got some cream for that.

-"Got some cream for that"! Ha-ha!

0:19:480:19:51

One by one, the lads are coming round to the idea.

0:19:550:19:58

So you're doing it - what's your pose going to be?

0:19:580:20:01

-I ain't got a clue what he wants me to do.

-What will you be holding?

0:20:010:20:03

I don't know.

0:20:030:20:04

See, it started off where bottoms were on,

0:20:040:20:06

-then it were half naked, then he goes...fully nude.

-Oh, I'm sorry...

0:20:060:20:09

Bottoms, mate...

0:20:090:20:11

For fellas - you only want to see the tops,

0:20:110:20:13

you don't want to see owt else.

0:20:130:20:14

No. I don't. I think they're ugly! Ha-ha!

0:20:150:20:19

This morning, the salt selling has been put to one side

0:20:210:20:24

as the lads concentrate on other priorities.

0:20:240:20:27

Look at 'em.

0:20:320:20:33

What the hell's all that about?

0:20:330:20:35

Is this in preparation for the, um...photo shoot?

0:20:350:20:39

Oh, they trying to build their muscles up in two minutes flat?

0:20:390:20:42

Yeah.

0:20:420:20:43

-Ah, he's on it!

-He's done it!

0:20:430:20:45

Ah, look at Boyle's lickle muscles, they're coming on, aren't they?

0:20:450:20:48

Yeah.

0:20:480:20:49

Look at Coxy!

0:20:520:20:54

He's got his angry face on.

0:20:540:20:56

Look. Oosch!

0:20:560:20:59

Yes!

0:20:590:21:00

SHE MOUTHS Y-M-C-A!

0:21:060:21:10

Y-M...!

0:21:100:21:12

Morning, Harry, how you doing?

0:21:160:21:17

Mr Walker, how are you? Bright start today.

0:21:170:21:20

Terry's friend Harry, a local press photographer,

0:21:200:21:22

has agreed to help out.

0:21:220:21:24

Well, let's crack on then, Harry. We're ready to rock'n'roll.

0:21:240:21:27

-Once they see you do it...

-Yeah.

-..they'll all play ball.

0:21:270:21:29

-No worries, mate.

-You know, following the gaffer.

0:21:290:21:32

Do you like my socks?

0:21:320:21:33

Nice, them. You're feeling them, aren't you?

0:21:330:21:36

Feeling a bit brisk!

0:21:410:21:42

Bloody hell, I never thought I'd be doing this today.

0:21:420:21:45

At the camera, please.

0:21:450:21:46

Head up a bit.

0:21:480:21:50

That's it. Thanks, everyone.

0:21:500:21:53

With the boss leading the way, the rest soon follow suit.

0:21:530:21:56

It's cold!

0:22:000:22:01

I'm not into this, me.

0:22:010:22:03

I'm a shy guy.

0:22:030:22:04

Behind that glass.

0:22:060:22:09

With those on, it's not actually going to make it, is it?

0:22:100:22:13

No way am I taking these shorts off.

0:22:130:22:15

-And what did I say to you?

-I don't know - what did you say?

0:22:150:22:17

-I said I would do it discreetly, so...

-Yeah, but it doesn't matter.

0:22:170:22:20

My arse cheeks are not being shown.

0:22:200:22:22

I've got a very bad rash on me bum, and I don't want anyone to see it.

0:22:220:22:26

Nobody'll see it.

0:22:270:22:29

-Put your foot there again.

-Yeah.

0:22:290:22:31

And bring that in a little bit.

0:22:310:22:32

Well, seeing as he weren't up for it this morning,

0:22:320:22:34

he's doing quite well, isn't he?

0:22:340:22:36

It's funny - I was trying to get some fun back into t' place,

0:22:370:22:41

and it's working. Well, it's getting me laughing, anyway!

0:22:410:22:45

Do the pinky!

0:22:450:22:47

Look at that face!

0:22:480:22:51

I've got oil all over me wanger!

0:22:520:22:55

Oh, that were funny.

0:22:550:22:57

That were absolutely hilarious.

0:22:570:22:59

I couldn't even take my shoes off,

0:22:590:23:01

so I've my shoes on with pink boxers...

0:23:010:23:03

over t' back of an engine.

0:23:030:23:05

It's not right, is it?

0:23:050:23:06

-I know!

-Good job I love you.

0:23:060:23:10

First thing in the morning, freezing your nuptials off.

0:23:100:23:13

You know - where do you get entertainment like that in a scrap yard?

0:23:130:23:17

At the end of the week, the yard will close for Christmas.

0:23:200:23:24

There's just one more thing to take care of.

0:23:240:23:26

Christmas party tonight.

0:23:260:23:28

I'm feeling it, I'm feeling it.

0:23:300:23:32

It's going to be a right good do.

0:23:330:23:35

And, unlike previous years, it's going ahead as planned.

0:23:350:23:38

Last year we didn't have enough money to have a Christmas do,

0:23:380:23:41

but this year, because we've done all right,

0:23:410:23:45

we decided to have a Christmas get together with the Metro family.

0:23:450:23:50

The staff do work really, really hard.

0:23:500:23:53

So they deserve to have a lickle party, don't they?

0:23:530:23:55

Our John's come home with this lemony stuff.

0:23:550:23:58

Let's just see what this goes on like.

0:23:580:24:00

Ooh...

0:24:000:24:01

Oh, that stings.

0:24:050:24:06

By 'eck, petal, thou looks gorgeous tonight!

0:24:070:24:10

Ooh!

0:24:100:24:13

Come on, come on.

0:24:130:24:14

Come on, come on!

0:24:140:24:16

I've not got my coat on yet.

0:24:160:24:18

Go and get your coat, then.

0:24:180:24:20

All the staff look smart tonight, you know.

0:24:380:24:40

We're used to seeing them covered in oil from head to foot,

0:24:400:24:44

and they all look really nice.

0:24:440:24:47

-Free beer, innit?

-He's made up for last year.

0:24:490:24:51

If I'm honest with you, I'm glad to be part of their night.

0:24:510:24:54

Whoa, you always win...!

0:24:570:24:58

I've won something for the first time in me life.

0:24:580:25:01

As long as you have a laugh, job's a good 'un.

0:25:010:25:04

Look at that!

0:25:060:25:08

Are all these drinks mine?

0:25:100:25:12

Nice one.

0:25:120:25:14

Have you enjoyed yourself tonight?

0:25:320:25:34

I have, yes.

0:25:340:25:35

We're on a winner.

0:25:350:25:37

I am actually...

0:25:370:25:38

-What are you doing with me drink?

-I'm drinking it.

0:25:380:25:40

-You've had enough.

-Yes, I'm really happy...

0:25:400:25:43

with how tonight's gone. Yeah.

0:25:430:25:45

-Love you.

-Love you too.

0:25:490:25:51

You need to sort your breath out.

0:25:530:25:55

That's the onions, love. Ha-ha!

0:25:550:25:58

It's the end of a challenging year for scrap yard boss Terry Walker,

0:26:080:26:12

his business partner and wife Lyndsay and their 35 employees.

0:26:120:26:16

Between them, they've salvaged over 6,000 catalytic convertors,

0:26:180:26:23

drained 40,000 litres of petrol, sold 10,000 cars

0:26:230:26:27

and crushed 7,500 tonnes of scrap.

0:26:270:26:30

They've now got 19 tonnes of salt to shift,

0:26:330:26:36

and 200 semi-naked calendars to sell.

0:26:360:26:38

-I'm frightened to open it!

-Come on.

0:26:400:26:43

THEY LAUGH

0:26:430:26:46

I love this job. I would never see myself doing anything else.

0:26:490:26:53

21 years we've been here. It seems like seven.

0:26:530:26:57

Here you are, have a look at that.

0:26:570:27:00

What is it?

0:27:000:27:01

I'm not telling you. Just have a look.

0:27:010:27:03

It's like one big happy family here, to be honest with you.

0:27:080:27:12

-Enjoy.

-I will. Thank you very much, Deb.

0:27:120:27:15

-Yeah!

-Go on!

-Eh!

0:27:150:27:18

It's a good place to work.

0:27:180:27:20

I love it. I love it, me.

0:27:200:27:22

-Little present for you.

-What is it?

0:27:240:27:26

Enjoy.

0:27:260:27:27

He's got nish on!

0:27:300:27:32

Oh, he's a brave boy.

0:27:320:27:34

You've got to have a bit of a screw loose to work here.

0:27:340:27:36

Everyone has, you know what I mean?

0:27:360:27:37

Better than anywhere else, anyway.

0:27:390:27:40

I've never had a job anywhere else, actually! Ha-ha!

0:27:400:27:44

Could you actually imagine what this yard would be like

0:27:470:27:50

if your dad did retire?

0:27:500:27:52

It'd be a mess.

0:27:520:27:53

Guys!

0:27:530:27:55

-There you go.

-I DO look like a grandad, don't I?

0:27:560:28:00

It's a good calendar, innit?

0:28:000:28:01

Yeah, it's a good 'un, man.

0:28:010:28:02

I personally take me hat off to 'em all.

0:28:020:28:04

Cos I wouldn't have done it.

0:28:040:28:06

I'm proud of 'em. It's good.

0:28:060:28:07

I will push him to back off a bit.

0:28:070:28:09

Or else we're going to be here till we're 90, if we live that long.

0:28:090:28:14

I think Lyndsay is the only one who could make him retire -

0:28:140:28:17

or at least slow down.

0:28:170:28:20

Metro till I die. That's me, innit?

0:28:210:28:23

You know - you know that.
