0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains very strong language.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07For many young Brits just getting by is a struggle.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10There isn't really any opportunities, there isn't really any jobs.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13- They may be broke...- Well, that's my money gone, going on a bet.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15I've never been in so much debt in my life.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17..stuck in a rut...
0:00:17 > 0:00:21What's the point in getting up early? I haven't got anything to get up early for.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22..or just want more.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Two days a week I have to do this - digging shit out of a hole!
0:00:25 > 0:00:27But now...
0:00:28 > 0:00:31..they have the chance of escape.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Around the world there are manual jobs where young people can
0:00:34 > 0:00:36strike payday gold.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Definitely some good money to be earned.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42It sort of comes down to the individual and how much money do you want to make?
0:00:42 > 0:00:43The sky's the limit.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46You work hard, you're going to make the money.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49The catch? They're some of the toughest jobs on the planet.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Covered in cow shit 24/7, and if they're not shitting on you,
0:00:53 > 0:00:54they're running at you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Now, young Brits in need of a cash injection...
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I'm not coming home until I have that money.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10..are being given the chance to earn the big bucks.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Oh, why the BLEEP did I sign up for this?!
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Getting kicked, getting head-butted - mental.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20And it could change more than just their bank balance.
0:01:21 > 0:01:27Before I came here, I didn't have any confidence in myself.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30The question is, can they stand the pace?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Why is there guts and shit in here?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35I will shove the fish down his throat.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Or will the punishing world of manual labour...
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Ooh!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I've tried.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42HE SOBS
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I've really tried.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48..send them screaming back to the UK?
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Argh!
0:01:50 > 0:01:51I just desperately want to go home.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53SHE SOBS
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Meet Luke, Jade and Callum - three Brits all looking to
0:02:08 > 0:02:11change their lives and sort out their finances.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14'My dad wants to see me be independent...'
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Hey, Molly.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18..and, like, be mature and be responsible.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20'He says that I've never experienced one day's hard work'
0:02:20 > 0:02:22in my life, which is kind of true.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24That sucks.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26People think I'm lazy, but I'm not.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28It's just because I'm bored.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30'I want something that actually challenges me.'
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Something to aim for.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35'I just don't value money, that's my problem.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36'I'll gamble more than I should.'
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I'm stuck in this rut. I need to sort myself out.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43In a bid to kick-start their lives and earn some serious dosh,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46they've signed up for one of the toughest jobs on the planet...
0:02:46 > 0:02:52..rock lobster fishing off the West Coast of Australia.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55This is a tough job.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59It's fast and hard. It can be tiring just standing up.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Surrounded by nothing but ocean, the new recruits will be expected
0:03:03 > 0:03:07to bait, set and haul crates of crustaceans
0:03:07 > 0:03:11for up to 12 hours a day, with seasickness almost guaranteed.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Today they would have cried like little bitches.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17They would have cried like that there.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20And it's no good complaining cos we don't give a shit.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I don't think I've ever had a really hard job.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I've, like, taken things out of the dishwasher before,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I've moved a mattress upstairs, maybe,
0:03:27 > 0:03:29that's as far as hard work goes for my life.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32With ridiculously early starts, it's back-breaking, repetitive
0:03:32 > 0:03:37and dangerous work, under a scorching sun in treacherous seas.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40It's not a job for the faint-hearted.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42They come, they go, they cry.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Some people are just not meant for the ocean.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49I don't like fish. I'm basically going to starve, aren't I?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51The only boat I've ever been on in my life is a booze cruise.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53What have I got myself in for?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57But this ball-busting job comes with one major perk.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Money, brother!
0:03:58 > 0:03:59HE LAUGHS
0:04:02 > 0:04:05For the next three weeks our Brits will join the many young people
0:04:05 > 0:04:07who flock to Western Australia in search of
0:04:07 > 0:04:11one of the best-paid seasonal jobs in the world.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15I want to earn the big bucks, so this is the place to do it.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Couple of years ago I made 100 grand in 36 days.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Good, innit?
0:04:20 > 0:04:21But can our trio hack it?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Or will they find themselves in deep water?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Now that it's actually happening I'm kind of shitting myself a wee bit.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Be a good idea if I take that, innit?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I can prove my dad wrong, definitely.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Yeah, this is like a big middle finger to him...if I do it.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46After a 24-hour journey, and armed with their working holiday visas,
0:04:46 > 0:04:50the three Brits arrive in Western Australia.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- My name's Callum.- Callum. I'm Jade.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Nice to meet you, Jade. What's your name, mate?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Luke. Nice to meet you, Callum. - Luke. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, mate.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01That's the first time I've ever, like, caught public transport,
0:05:01 > 0:05:02really on my own.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05This is an achievement in itself. I'm proud of myself already.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11At 22, Luke, from South Wales, dreams of living the high life.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I want to be a millionaire.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I want to have my ten-out-of-ten model girlfriend, my Ferrari parked
0:05:17 > 0:05:21outside and everyone to see so many zeros in my net worth that their
0:05:21 > 0:05:25computer freezes and they're like, "Whoa, what number is that?"
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Nice one, boys. To Luke.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29It's just whether I'm willing to put in the hard work.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32What's the longest day you've ever done?
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Er, no, I couldn't...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Eight till 12.- What's the longest you've worked?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Three till six in the afternoon on a Saturday.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40HE LAUGHS Yeah, I know.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Struggling with Luke's work ethic, his dad and uncle
0:05:42 > 0:05:46ask him for just two days' graft a week at their holiday park.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Yo.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51What time do you call this?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Yeah, but, like, you know, nine o'clock's a bit of an ungodly
0:05:53 > 0:05:56hour to get here by, I mean...work should start at 11.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I don't think anyone should start, you know, at nine.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Unfortunately, this is the job and that's what we do.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02And you're late again.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05You're acting as if it's a routine. I only work here two days a week.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Well, at least for two days you wouldn't be late.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- You've got five days not to be late. - OK. I'm sorry.- OK.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Nice one!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14'Luke is very deluded.'
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Luke does think that the world owes him a living, he does think
0:06:17 > 0:06:21he's a superstar...playboy, but it's funded mostly by us.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24And that can't continue.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I try to go through life doing the bare minimum, but instead
0:06:26 > 0:06:29two days a week I have to do this, digging shit out of a hole.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33He drives us crazy because he's basically a spoilt brat.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35No, well, I disagree with that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I think you are rushing my childhood.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41You're not a child any more at 22, Luke. Grow up.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44You've got to get out into that big, bad world,
0:06:44 > 0:06:46and you've got to make something of yourself.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49No-one's just going to give it to you on a plate, Luke.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52This is Luke's chance to show his dad that he can be responsible
0:06:52 > 0:06:54and financially independent.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I suck as a son.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Every Christmas I ask him, "Dad, what do you want?"
0:06:59 > 0:07:01And he goes, "A less disappointing son."
0:07:01 > 0:07:06He wants to see me happy and my happiness is success,
0:07:06 > 0:07:09so I've got to, you know, take the first step.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10I am done.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Back in Australia, the trio travel four hours to hopefully earn
0:07:16 > 0:07:20some wonga in the coastal town of Dongara.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Oh, my God, feel that heat, it's mad.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27So remote, innit, round here?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Yeah, this is proper outback, innit?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Known as the rock lobster capital of the world, Dongara has only
0:07:33 > 0:07:36two pubs and 3,500 inhabitants, and it's
0:07:36 > 0:07:41where our wannabe deckhands will call home for the next three weeks.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44This is how serious I am about this job.
0:07:44 > 0:07:50I went and got T-shirts printed saying "Lukie the Lobster King".
0:07:50 > 0:07:52You know, I think
0:07:52 > 0:07:55by the end of this experience I will be king of the crustaceans.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I think this could change my life.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59There's nothing great to do back home.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00It's a good opportunity here.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Just got to work hard and do it.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Don't think them two's that fussed.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07They'll be fun to work with, but I can't see 'em
0:08:07 > 0:08:09doing too much work.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Back home in Portsmouth,
0:08:12 > 0:08:1624-year-old Callum has no problem holding down a job.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I don't mind doing hard work.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Whatever's in front of me, I like to just think I can do it and I'll
0:08:22 > 0:08:25just try my hardest to do it, do you know what I mean? I'll try my best.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Callum's problems begin every payday.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Right, who wants to do a bet, then? It can't lose.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35I don't value money at all.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I'll have a tenner on Small Bolt.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40'Probably gambled a total of... over £10,000.'
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Where's two?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45£10,000 is a shitload of money.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50'I've lost, you know, ten times more than I've won.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52'But it's just such a thrill.'
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I've got big bills to pay, I can't afford to do it.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I actually can't, you know, I can't.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59But I probably will.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Fuck it, I'm having a tenner on this one.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Fiver on number five.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05And they're off!
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Here y'are, they're off.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11'I think it's just growing up with my friends, betting all the time.'
0:09:11 > 0:09:12No, I can't handle it.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15'I'm stuck in this rut. I need to sort myself out.'
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Having moved out, Callum's mum and stepdad
0:09:20 > 0:09:23are worried that his habit may be getting out of control.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Gambling's took a little bit of a toll on him.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Hasn't quite got him but it's nearly there.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29And if he carries on,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32then he could be in a downward spiral with it,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34so he needs to sort it out.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39It just makes me so angry. And he's going to regret it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42He will regret it, but, yeah, he's not going to listen to us.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44But hopefully this might change him around.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47He just needs to get out of the habit.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Callum hopes that working as a fisherman in Australia will
0:09:50 > 0:09:54remove him from temptation and help earn back the money he's lost.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I do want do this job for me, and I definitely want to do it
0:09:57 > 0:10:01for my mum, you know, to show her that I can do something else.
0:10:07 > 0:10:1110,000 miles from home in Dongara, the three Brits head down to
0:10:11 > 0:10:15the marina for a first glimpse of the job they've signed up for.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Oh, what have we done? Seriously.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20That's their catch.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22So are they all alive there or what?
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Yeah, look.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Yeah, you can see them all wriggling about.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Yeah, here comes our bad boy, look.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Hello, there. - You must be our British workers.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Hello, mate.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38G'day, I'm Jeff Cockman.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Skippers Jeff and brother Bruce have made millions
0:10:41 > 0:10:44fishing for lobster, but rely heavily on their crew.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47The deckies earn big money because it's a busy time of year.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50They earn roughly 1,000 Australian a day.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52So, you know, you guys can't expect to come on
0:10:52 > 0:10:55and earn the same money what those guys are earning.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58So the base sort of rate for a deckie is 200 bucks a day.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59So that's what you'll be getting...
0:10:59 > 0:11:00Yeah, that's so good.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02That's what I get in a week at home.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Rewarded with a percentage of the profits,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07season deckhands must bait,
0:11:07 > 0:11:11haul and stack the pots as well as measure and pack the lobsters.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14As you can see, it's quite a physical job.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Like, each basket probably weighs nearly 35 kilos gross,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21and you've got to be able to work fast.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24So my nails aren't ideal, like?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27No, give up on them. Your nails are gone!
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- I'd cut 'em all off tonight, seriously, cut 'em back to... - Really?
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Oh, yeah!
0:11:31 > 0:11:35I can't stress to you enough, it's rough and it's hard and that's
0:11:35 > 0:11:38just the nature of the beast, you've just got to put up with it.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40But with rookies often lasting just a day,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43the job is likely to come as a rude awakening.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46So we're leaving at two o'clock in the morning.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- That's ridiculous.- And then you work through till two o'clock in the afternoon.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- From two this morning?- From two in the morning?- Yeah. That's what I say, it's...
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Oh, my God!
0:11:55 > 0:11:57And not only that, it is go, go, go.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59There isn't even time to scratch yourself.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01'She's going to struggle.'
0:12:01 > 0:12:03If I was a betting man I'd say she's probably
0:12:03 > 0:12:06got about a 10% chance of maybe doing one week.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I'm not confident.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13At home in Northern Ireland, 22-year-old Jade's top priorities
0:12:13 > 0:12:17are to look glam and surround herself with nice things.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Everyone is like, "You can't buy happiness,"
0:12:20 > 0:12:22but I'd rather cry in a Ferrari.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Over the past few years I've probably spent between four
0:12:26 > 0:12:30and five grand on hair, but I need the hair.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34All this has come courtesy of the bank of Mum and Dad.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37My parents have probably spent over ten grand in the past
0:12:37 > 0:12:38couple of years on me.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I need you to check the prices.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Right.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47In her mum's shop, Jade even finds it hard to lift a manicured finger.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50So, Jade, do you want to come round and tidy up for me?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Not really.- Come on.- No. - Come on!- No.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57To get her to do some things you have to keep at her
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and at her and at her to do them.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04So sometimes it's easier just going ahead and doing the thing yourself.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08But Jade is trying to make a change.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11After years of sponging off her parents, she's taken out
0:13:11 > 0:13:16a payment plan on a new car and hopes to pay it off all by herself.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I think it will make my parents respect me
0:13:20 > 0:13:23a wee bit more to realise that I can do things like that and be trusted.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27But even Jade's friends have doubts.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31How are you going to deal with anything without relying on your mum?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35People put it into my head that I'm not capable of doing things,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37but I know that I can.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I just choose not to cos I don't have to.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I think the biggest worry is that she'll have a mental breakdown.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45We'll wait and see what happens.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47SHE LAUGHS
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Back down under,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Jade will have to prove her worth on Jeff's boat, Safari.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54This is our toilet.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57With his regular deckies Pete...
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Big-arse crab!
0:13:58 > 0:13:59..and Ryan.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03They will cry. If not, I'll try and make one cry.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07To lift the pot you grab it always by that, that and there.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Callum and Luke will be working with Bruce on Night Stalker,
0:14:10 > 0:14:15the larger of the two boats, teaming up with deckies Mick and Damo.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18A little bit of hard work never hurt anyone.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I think they're going to struggle.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Don't expect any sympathy cos they won't get any.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29They'll have to crawl into a corner and die slowly
0:14:29 > 0:14:32and long as... we don't want to hear about it.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37The trainee rate of 200 a day is roughly £14 an hour.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41But an experienced deckie can make thousands.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Earning that much money... in a day...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48is just...it's like winning the lottery.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52There's just six hours before the trio are expected to get hands-on.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I feel like I'm losing a wee part of me,
0:14:55 > 0:14:56having to take my nails off.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58I like taking care of myself in the way
0:14:58 > 0:15:04I look and, like, to have to lose, like, my nails is...it's sad.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07SHE SIGHS
0:15:08 > 0:15:10I'm still going to paint them, though.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12They're not going to look like complete shit!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18# Hi-ho!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20# Hi-ho!
0:15:20 > 0:15:23# Hi-ho!
0:15:23 > 0:15:28# Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work we go...#
0:15:28 > 0:15:30It's one o'clock in the morning.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Oh, it's far too early.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Should still be able to look nice
0:15:34 > 0:15:36and be able to work at the same time.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39My hair is me. That's what I'm known for.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42You know, shit just got serious now, didn't it?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Welcome aboard, Jade.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Yeah...
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Might as well let it go, guys, we'll get going.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Normally two in the morning, if I'm out, I'm pissed out of my head.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55So it's weird.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I'm ready. I'm ready for the day.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I'm prepared.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Both boats must travel two hours to collect the lobster pots that
0:16:15 > 0:16:19have been sitting on the bottom of the ocean for two days.
0:16:19 > 0:16:2238.57 nautical miles to our... The end of our gear.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Whoa!
0:16:24 > 0:16:28And the boys jump at the chance to catch up on their sleep.
0:16:28 > 0:16:33I'm just blowing up my inflatable pillow now.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Oh, I'm going to be hours doing that. No. Mad.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38The boat's moving all over the show, I ain't going to sleep a wink.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40We haven't even been on that long
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and already I'm on the verge of throwing up.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45This is absolute hell, innit, Luke?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Do you know what I mean?- Yeah.
0:16:47 > 0:16:5040 miles out in the Indian Ocean...
0:16:50 > 0:16:51Awake!
0:16:51 > 0:16:52You awake, guys?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55..and with swells of up to two metres,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Jade starts her first haul on board Safari.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Not going to last long.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Hey, Jade!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09You can come and pick up this one.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11The lobster pots are pulled to the surface
0:17:11 > 0:17:14by a long line of rope attached to floats.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- You want to pick it up with one arm like that, OK?- OK.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20No, no, no - from the top to the bottom. OK?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23And your other arm, you coil up the blue rope as you go down.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24OK.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27What?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Jade must learn quickly, as a stray rope could easily pull her
0:17:32 > 0:17:35or one of the crew overboard.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38OK.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Don't say that.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Really?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47On Night Stalker...
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Where do you put it? In that...
0:17:49 > 0:17:53..the boys are also struggling to learn the ropes.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Fucking tough.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58You barely keep balance, that's pissed me off the entire time.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Rope - I have no idea how to even untangle my headphones, let alone
0:18:01 > 0:18:04untangle rope, so that's pissing me off as well.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I hate it.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I never expected it to be this difficult.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Six pots and five crays.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Bloody hell, turn around and go home!
0:18:14 > 0:18:17The lobster - that can be worth up to 200 each -
0:18:17 > 0:18:20are stored in live tanks underneath the decks.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22This ain't a holiday, this is hell!
0:18:22 > 0:18:25It's the most brutalest job I've ever done in my life.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32But after two hours of hauling,
0:18:32 > 0:18:36the rookies are starting to feel the motion of the ocean.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Come on, Jade, only two to go.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I know. Just feel sick as fuck.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Language, Jade!- Sorry.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Now, I feel sick and I'll end up looking at that.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49You know, I looked into the fish heads.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I can't handle this shit. This is hurting me.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I'm really not enjoying myself, and I wonder if this is blunt enough
0:19:21 > 0:19:23to hit myself over the head and kill myself.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27That's how low I'm feeling right now.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Hey, Jade, don't give up. You want to keep moving.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I know it's tough.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34But if you just lie there
0:19:34 > 0:19:36and fall in a big heap that'll be the end of you.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Get up and start walking around and keep doing stuff.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45We need you to do some work, as well you know!
0:19:45 > 0:19:48The biggest test of a rookie deckhand...
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Oh, thank you.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53..is whether they can carry on working through seasickness.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Right.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01My hair probably has vomit in it,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04and my make-up's an absolute riot. And that's fine.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08But here you don't exactly have time to do that kind of shit, like.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13It's the hardest money I've ever earned in my life.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14See?
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Ugh!
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Even Bruce over on Night Stalker is impressed.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42She looks like she's having a way better time than me.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Good girl.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51I might send a flare up and get a rescue boat, you know,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53tow me back to shore.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59Luke may be struggling, but the rookies' duties are far from over.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Seven hours in...
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Oh, it's heavy.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05..and the boys must now heave the 50-kilo pots
0:21:05 > 0:21:06to the back of the boat.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I've got to be honest, this is not getting any easier.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Mind out here. Go on.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11Move her up.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Lean back.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15That's it.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Actually, I can't deal with this any more.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40With five hours still to go on his shift, Luke decides he's had enough.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42It's very disappointing.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44It's all about the character-building, I think.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Callum is probably sicker, he's got more bile coming up.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49What's it called? Bile?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Oh, well, I don't know. I'm no doctor.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54He was going all right and then he just pulled the pin.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56So that's the joys.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59We'll have a talk to him later on, see what he wants to do.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02He can't expect to get paid if you're going to lay in the bed.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05It's the sickness. It's fucking unbearable.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Bruce? Sorry, mate, can I just get two hours, please?
0:22:12 > 0:22:13- Hey?- Can I just get two hours?
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Two hours what?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- Sleep.- It's up to you, mate.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21You go and have a lay down, that's fine. We'll talk about it later on.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Don't like letting the Captain down
0:22:24 > 0:22:28but I'm shaking, do you know what I mean? That's how sick I feel.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31It's no good having excuses, you've got to roll up to work
0:22:31 > 0:22:33and be able to stick it out.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Deckie's a really important part of the crew,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38you can't do it yourself, you need good crew,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41and if we were relying on them it would be a very sad situation.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Meanwhile, on Jeff's boat,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50the pots have been re-baited ready to trap more lobsters.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58And Jade is still on deck.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- SHE BURPS - Ugh.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Jade's going all right.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07She's been a bit seasick, which sort of sucks,
0:23:07 > 0:23:10but she's got a good attitude, she wants to keep working,
0:23:10 > 0:23:12which is good, she hasn't let it get the better of her.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14I think she's got potential to be a good deckie,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17as long as she can get over her seasickness.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22High five, Jade!
0:23:22 > 0:23:23- Yeah!- Sorted.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26'You're here, you might as well just get on with it.'
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Aaah!
0:23:28 > 0:23:31'There's no point in crying about it, like.'
0:23:34 > 0:23:37On Night Stalker, deckies Damo and Mick have also
0:23:37 > 0:23:41finished for the day, without any help from Callum or Luke.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Skipper Bruce is far from impressed.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Luke, you want to come up here?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51We're not here to have fun, we're here to work.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53It's not a charity.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55You let everyone down.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59I'll pay you for today, but the standard has to lift.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Today you didn't even try.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04After desperately wanting to make his mark,
0:24:04 > 0:24:08falling at the first hurdle wasn't in Callum's game plan.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I don't like going down there and sitting down.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Believe me, it's the last thing I want.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15But what can you do
0:24:15 > 0:24:20if you physically can't move cos you're so fucking sick?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22It's the toughest job I've ever done in my life.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27I am stuck here, I am stranded on a living hell
0:24:27 > 0:24:31and I don't want to do this any more.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Never want to go on a boat again in my life.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Whoo! Yay!
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Despite the boys' poor performance, Skippers Bruce and Jeff have landed
0:24:41 > 0:24:45over two tons of lobster, worth over 100,000.
0:24:47 > 0:24:48And tomorrow at 2am
0:24:48 > 0:24:53the Brits are expected to do it all over again.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55How are you feeling, mate?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Pretty run-down.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I can't even think about going out tomorrow.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00You dreading it?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02My biggest worry is if I'm sick.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I was literally in bits.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07If I am feeling that run-down I'm not going to do it.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08It's just stupid.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10For me it's just not an option, quitting.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13It's not an option.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Here now - might as well get on with it, like.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21The boys seen me yesterday with my hair in and my make-up done
0:25:21 > 0:25:23and my wee dress and stuff.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25And I think they were probably looking at me, going,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28what an actual fool, she is an idiot, she's going to be a disaster.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31And then I was like, right, OK, I want them to think,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34well, fair play to her for actually trying and stuff.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36They're the ones that need to man up.
0:25:37 > 0:25:43At this moment in time I'm debating whether to go in or not.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47I honestly have no idea how to cope with this.
0:25:54 > 0:25:55It's 1am...
0:25:55 > 0:25:57I'm still so tired.
0:25:57 > 0:26:03..and Jade has decided to make some changes to her morning routine.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05No hair today.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08If I'm going out with no hair on, that's serious.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Like, I mean biz.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14But one deckhand is definitely not meaning biz.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17KNOCKS DOOR
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Luke.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21You getting up, boy?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23No.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Come on, geez.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Luke's not coming in. I'm fucked now.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Now I'm dreading it again.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38It's down to Callum to break the news to Skipper Bruce.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Hey, Callum, how you going?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- All right, mate. You all right?- Good.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Where's Luke?
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Luke's not in, mate.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49No surprise there, really. That he's got no gumption.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51It's poor, but that's his choice he wants to make.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Yeah.- It's good you're here anyway. - Cheers, mate. Good to be here.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I just hope I don't get seasick now.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Morning, Jade. Let's get going, eh? - OK.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Let it go, mate.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03You all right?
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Perfect.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10When this pot... In case something happens, grab the rope.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- On top of that? - On top of that one, yep.
0:27:12 > 0:27:1540 miles out to sea and dosed up on seasickness pills,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Callum's eager to prove his worth.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22'Callum's just stacking the floats first and then the ropes.'
0:27:22 > 0:27:23No, no - on the pots, mate.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25'So far he's good.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27'We're not mentioning the seasickness word,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29'that's a distant memory for him so far.'
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- You want to go to the toilet? - LAUGHTER
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I just want it to be a whole day without being sick.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38It makes it so much easier for us if you can just keep up doing that,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40it's wicked, you know?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42If you can keep doing that all day...
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- You're at Jade level now. - LAUGHTER
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Here you are, Jade.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53As Callum and Jade battle on into daylight,
0:27:53 > 0:27:58back on dry land, Luke is still recharging his batteries.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59It's easy to lay in bed.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01But what Luke did is weakness.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04But that's just the choice you make in life.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08Callum's got the go, he's out here, he's going to make good money,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Luke's going to be ringing his mum and dad to give him some money.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Yesterday this time, I was feeling sick,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18but it's just totally different now. It makes you feel better.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20It makes you really want to be on the boat.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23You're that fired up, you just want to keep going, don't you?
0:28:23 > 0:28:24- You can't stand still.- Yeah.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26You're a changed man, what's going on?!
0:28:26 > 0:28:31Really good. Hundred times better than yesterday. It's awesome.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34You set the bar, you're not allowed to go backwards now.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35It's been good.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Despite all the hard work,
0:28:42 > 0:28:48as the pots come up from the seabed, it's not good news.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Oh, our catch is poor.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54We've come in a new area and had visions of getting a big catch
0:28:54 > 0:28:57and going in today, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00We'll probably have to stay out tonight.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01OK.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04To save money on fuel, both boats are dropping anchor for the night
0:29:04 > 0:29:08and won't return to Dongara until they've hauled another day's catch.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I actually don't even care about staying on the boat tonight.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15I'm just so exhausted, I could sleep anywhere.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18I could sleep on that frigging deck if you let me, I would.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Whilst his fellow deckies
0:29:23 > 0:29:25are earning their stripes hauling shellfish...
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Can I get the seafood basket for one?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31..Luke's day has been rather less demanding.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34I'd be so gutted if I was on that boat and I found out that Callum
0:29:34 > 0:29:38was actually at home, drinking beer and having fish and chips.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42And I do feel bad because he's been awake since, what,
0:29:42 > 0:29:45one in the morning till... And he's still out there now,
0:29:45 > 0:29:51while I'm here with a Corona and my battered shark,
0:29:51 > 0:29:53just really enjoying myself.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06There she blows.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11You don't see that every day on a roof, do you?
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Horizon.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Nice, innit?
0:30:27 > 0:30:28It's 2am.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31And despite having been on board for a full 24 hours,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34it's time to start work - again.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38I've literally not complained, so that's an achievement for me.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Because at home
0:30:40 > 0:30:43I'm the first person to complain about absolutely anything.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Fuck.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58But before Callum gets his grub
0:30:58 > 0:31:01there's 180 lobster pots to haul aboard.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06And as the rookies work up a sweat...
0:31:09 > 0:31:13..the only heat Luke is feeling is down on the beach.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15The guys are going to be pulling in in a bit.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18If I see Bruce and he says I'm not allowed back on the boat,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21that was... You know, everyone deserves a second chance.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23I just, you know, I just needed time to recover.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I wouldn't have been no help on his boat anyway.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I would have been like a zombie.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Maybe if I show some positive attitude towards him,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32saying, next time on the boat I'll try my best, yeah?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34But for all I know he might not be interested.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36For all I know he might just say no, don't want you any more.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45All right, stack this one, Jade, it's the last one of the day!
0:31:45 > 0:31:46Whoo!
0:31:46 > 0:31:50After 36 hours at sea, and with a hold full of lobster,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53the boats are finally heading home.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Just being out there for that amount of time
0:31:55 > 0:31:57and doing that amount of work is very enduring on the body
0:31:57 > 0:32:00and hats off to her, she done a great job.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05- Cheers, Jade, good day's work, babe. Good on you.- Cheers.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08And as Night Stalker pulls into the marina,
0:32:08 > 0:32:13Luke forms a one-man welcoming party.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16It's like showing up to my own funeral this, it sucks.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31There's sleeping beauty, right there on the jetty.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- He's got the walk of shame.- Yep. THEY LAUGH
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Hey, Bruce. I've got some explaining to do. I'm sorry.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47Yeah, you know what it is, mate, it's not much good being sorry,
0:32:47 > 0:32:49- you let everyone down.- Yeah.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51The hardest thing is getting up out of bed,
0:32:51 > 0:32:53it's no good laying in bed and being soft about it all.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I wasn't doing it because I wanted a lie-in or nothing,
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- I was just feeling... I know you don't want to hear the same bullshit.- No, not really.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01I've got to go and do this.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Yeah, all right.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- It's not good enough. - Yeah, you reckon...?
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Yeah. Oh, he's off his nut.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11But Luke has a cunning plan to win Bruce over.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15And it involves something he's rarely done before -
0:33:15 > 0:33:16work.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25I've got a lot of making-up to do, should have manned the fuck up,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28manned up all over myself and gone in.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31No, he can move, he can... He's big enough.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Everyone can do it, it's just in the head and it's
0:33:33 > 0:33:34whether you want to do it.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36I'll buy you all a beer as an apology.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40I do owe you a massive apology.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42So do you want to come out again and try again or...
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Yeah. Am I allowed a second chance?
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- I promise I won't let you guys down this time.- All right. But if you come next time, though,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- you've got to do the full day's work.- That's fine.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- We'll see how you go on... We're going on Monday.- All right.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55All right. We'll see you then.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56See you Monday.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01With promises made, it's a fresh start for Luke...
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- Don't go drinking it all at once. - I won't drink it all at once.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06..and payday for the rookie deckies.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Money.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Happy. Work hard, play hard.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18It's Australia Day, a national holiday
0:34:18 > 0:34:22and the Brits' first official day off.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25And for Callum, with time on his hands
0:34:25 > 0:34:30and a pocket full of cash, temptation isn't far away.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33In Australia I can still find the bookies.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35There's one in every pub.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42So far, work has kept Callum away from the betting shops,
0:34:42 > 0:34:47and he hasn't had a chance to blow his hard-earned pay.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51It seems like everyone's doing a bet. I mean everyone.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Back home in Portsmouth,
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Callum has gambled and lost around £10,000.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01My mum always says to me, she says, "You're an idiot."
0:35:01 > 0:35:04I'm giving the bookies my money, what I've earned,
0:35:04 > 0:35:05my hard-earned money.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07And I think about that a lot.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10I don't understand why you do it, cos it makes you feel depressed.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12You've got so much drive,
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- so much ambition, and you want so much out of life...- I know.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Yeah. All you keep doing is punching yourself up the ribs.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22I'll get, like, 400 quid and I'll think, I'll stick some money on a horse.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Unbelievable.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28You giving your money away is stopping you moving forward.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31I would love to just be able to do £10 every Saturday on a little football bet.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33But that's how you started off.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34- Yeah, it's not all or nothing. - No, Callum.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- It's like me doing stupid bets midweek and that.- No.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39It's like giving a drug addict...
0:35:39 > 0:35:41"Do you know what, I just want one hit a week."
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- But it's not a drug addict, cos that's...- One hit.- ..gambling.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46It's exactly the same. It's an addiction.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48You have to sort it out.
0:35:54 > 0:36:00Now, 9,000 miles away from home, Callum must decide for himself.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05It's just the wrong thing to do.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08I want to keep my money. Save it.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11You know, that's why I'm here, to change. I'm doing it.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Very... Quite proud of myself actually, come to think of it.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21And, having resisted temptation, a call home to share the good news.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Hi, Mum. It's been a massive eye opener for me, being over here.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29I've already... Realising how hard I've earned for my money,
0:36:29 > 0:36:31I don't want to sit here and spend it.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33There's bookies all over the show where I am now,
0:36:33 > 0:36:35I just wouldn't even cross...
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Yeah, everywhere.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Wouldn't even cross my mind to go in there.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41How proud are you on a scale of one to ten?
0:36:47 > 0:36:50She's proud, she's happy.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Just feel a bit changed now. I will be able to do it.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55I'll make everyone happy. No, I'll make myself happy as well.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56That's the main thing.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02The end of the junior deckies' first week is rapidly approaching.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05But before they go to bed,
0:37:05 > 0:37:10there's just enough time to soak in Australia Day's grand finale.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17I just know that, when the final firework goes off
0:37:17 > 0:37:19and the smoke raises to the sky and it's all silent,
0:37:19 > 0:37:23that's when you know Australia Day is over and in a few hours' time
0:37:23 > 0:37:26I have to get on that boat and...
0:37:26 > 0:37:29You know, it's just any moment now.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37CROWD CHEERS
0:37:37 > 0:37:39What an end to Australia Day.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46It's another early start as the deckies prepare
0:37:46 > 0:37:48for their next trip to sea.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54This is already bringing back horrible nightmares.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57I don't think he wants to be here.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01And after a choppy three-hour journey...
0:38:03 > 0:38:06..Jade and Callum continue on the ropes and floats...
0:38:08 > 0:38:12..while Luke is given the back-breaking task of stacking
0:38:12 > 0:38:16the 180 50kg lobster pots,
0:38:16 > 0:38:18the equivalent of eight Mini Coopers.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Good wake-up lesson for him in life. There's no excuse, mate.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28Mick's 49 and he's stacking the pots twice as fast as Luke.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31He's big enough and strong enough,
0:38:31 > 0:38:34he should be able to do it twice as good as Mick.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37But speed isn't Luke's only problem.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41His heavy-handed technique leaves many pots broken.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43LOUD CRACK
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Oh. Fuck's sake!
0:38:45 > 0:38:47He's a liability and we've got to watch everything he does.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Every second thing he does is wrong.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54I'm shitting myself every time he goes down.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57I'm in agony.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00And I could have prevented it all by just staying asleep
0:39:00 > 0:39:02and not coming in.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Luke! What baton are you holding them with again?
0:39:04 > 0:39:06For fuck's sake!
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Where's it going?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10I told you where to stack that last pot and you said OK.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13And then you got down the back and went, "Where do I stack it?"
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Well, Mick was standing in front...
0:39:14 > 0:39:17He's busy. Luke, don't have an excuse, all right?
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Everyone else can do it, mate. OK? You can do it.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Motherfucker!
0:39:30 > 0:39:32On board Safari,
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Jade's resolve is also being tested.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40I just feel disgusting.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43I'm cold and I'm wet.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Just want to go home.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53But neither boat will be heading home today.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Once again, they're anchoring out for the night.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00I was going to ask him nicely to drop me to land real quick
0:40:00 > 0:40:02before he stays the night, you know.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05I don't think he'd mind doing that.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07I am so exhausted.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09It all starts again tomorrow.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15You awake? You awake, guys?
0:40:15 > 0:40:20It's half two in the morning and it's all hands on deck.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23But one of Night Stalker's crew in particular
0:40:23 > 0:40:26is struggling with the gruelling hours.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35In the bunk, don't want to see you.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49I just want to get home and clear my mind cos it's...
0:40:51 > 0:40:53..it's too much for me. I can't, physically.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58I wanted to and I'm ashamed of myself for not sticking with it
0:40:58 > 0:41:00but I physically and mentally can't do the job.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08It's a pretty weak effort, cos he's let himself down, really.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11It's pretty unusual to quit so quickly.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15We're definitely going to be calling it a Luke now when someone spits it!
0:41:15 > 0:41:17WHISTLE BLOWS
0:41:17 > 0:41:19You're in that danger zone now, you need to knuckle down
0:41:19 > 0:41:22and find something and stick with it, otherwise you're just going
0:41:22 > 0:41:24to be one of these people that never have a job.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Cos you can't sponge off your mum and dad forever,
0:41:27 > 0:41:28I'm sure you know that.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31You need to go back and try a bit harder on your two days
0:41:31 > 0:41:34that you work for your dad and do a bit more.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35Maybe do three days a week.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38This is another one off the list I can tick off and say I quit.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- Well, you quit.- Yeah. But...
0:41:41 > 0:41:44But if you didn't quit you would have got sacked.
0:41:52 > 0:41:57It's been, without a doubt, the hardest experience of my life.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Callum and Jade, both of them, fair to play to them,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03I don't know how they do it.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07It does make you realise, "Wow, I've got it real good back home."
0:42:07 > 0:42:09This is definitely a reality check.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16For Luke, it's goodbye to Night Stalker
0:42:16 > 0:42:18and his shipmates for the last time.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24The job's over now and I'm not needed.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Yeah, this is like the walk of shame.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- He ain't got no bottle. Has he, Mick?- No.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Undaunted by a fellow rookie's departure,
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Jade continues to surprise her crew and herself.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54'This job is everything that I'm not.'
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Agh!
0:42:56 > 0:42:59I'm here and I'm absolutely bogging and I'm a mess
0:42:59 > 0:43:02and I'm sitting with no make-up on and no extensions.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Like, that's something serious for me.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07And I didn't think that I'd ever be sitting in this position
0:43:07 > 0:43:09in my whole life. Never.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14Having resigned, it's time for Luke to return home to Wales.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16It's like lifting a lobster pot!
0:43:19 > 0:43:21He's let the team down really.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25We're all here grafting, you know, why can't he be here?
0:43:25 > 0:43:29He ain't flying the Welsh flag very well, is he?
0:43:29 > 0:43:32But Callum's proudly flying the pennant for Portsmouth.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34He's getting better with the ropes already.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37He's keen enough, so, yeah, it's good.
0:43:37 > 0:43:38When it gets tough,
0:43:38 > 0:43:42you've just got to not worry about it and soldier on.
0:43:42 > 0:43:46For the next week, Callum and Jade impress the skippers
0:43:46 > 0:43:50by working another five shifts and could be invited to stay on.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52It's really fucking heavy!
0:43:54 > 0:43:57If Bruce offers me more work, then I'm going to stay here.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59It's an opportunity you can't miss.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01I don't want to go back to the old life.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03You know, I was on a downward spiral.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06I haven't been gambling since I've been here.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09I'm not going to fuck it up, you know, simple as that.
0:44:13 > 0:44:18But back on dry land, Callum's hard graft has come at a price.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20Callum, come with me.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25So tell me what's happening.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28My arm is so painful.
0:44:28 > 0:44:31Ooh! That's a bit tender there?
0:44:31 > 0:44:33- Yeah. Really hurts there.- OK.
0:44:33 > 0:44:38The good thing is, I will do an antiseptic dressing on that,
0:44:38 > 0:44:42but I would say you will not be able to go to work.
0:44:46 > 0:44:49It's a massive, massive blow.
0:44:49 > 0:44:53It's not a holiday, is it? You know, I've come here to work and I'm not working.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56You know, I'm not going to earn no money.
0:44:56 > 0:45:01Sitting here, doing nothing, I'm not earning nothing.
0:45:01 > 0:45:02It's just, I'm gutted.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Yeah, just gutted.
0:45:12 > 0:45:17With just three shifts left, Jade has exceeded all her expectations
0:45:17 > 0:45:19and it's not just about the work.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Feels kind of weird knowing that, like, I've bought this food
0:45:22 > 0:45:26and I'm making it to go out to work, to earn more money,
0:45:26 > 0:45:30to do more stuff like this and, like, having to do stuff for yourself,
0:45:30 > 0:45:33I don't know, makes me feel kind of proud, like.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37Back home in Northern Ireland, Jade's mum, Coleen,
0:45:37 > 0:45:40has spent 22 years waiting on her daughter hand and foot.
0:45:40 > 0:45:43Will you make me a slice of toast?
0:45:43 > 0:45:45Please, Mummy?
0:45:45 > 0:45:50My mum, she's a complete soft touch. She does everything for me.
0:45:50 > 0:45:54She cleans my room, she makes my bed, does my washing.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57Having to not do anything like that for myself is amazing.
0:45:57 > 0:46:02It's frustrating, because Jade always takes advantage.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06'You just don't want her to go on into her 30s depending on me.'
0:46:06 > 0:46:09You want a break.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12But with three weeks of hard graft under her belt,
0:46:12 > 0:46:15Jade can't believe just how much she's changed.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18Maybe it is time I kind of grew up a bit.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20Before, I would never have had that attitude
0:46:20 > 0:46:22cos I like getting things done for me.
0:46:22 > 0:46:26And I like sitting about, doing nothing.
0:46:26 > 0:46:30But, like, it's weird going from one extreme to the other completely.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32But feels good.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37Packed lunches still won't be as good as my mum's, though.
0:46:40 > 0:46:42After two more hard days at sea,
0:46:42 > 0:46:44Jade has returned to Dongara Marina...
0:46:47 > 0:46:52..where a recuperated Callum has also come to help his crew unload.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55- Here she blows! You all right, mate? - Yeah, not bad.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Did you miss me? Cos I've missed you.
0:46:58 > 0:46:59Yeah, I've missed you.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03Must have been a massive setback.
0:47:03 > 0:47:07I've lost out earning a lot of money and I need to make things right.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09I'll just miss these crates.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15# Back again! Callum's back! #
0:47:15 > 0:47:18Come on, get out the way.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21Good having him back.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Tomorrow's going to be good.
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Look at that. Hard work right there. Urgh!
0:47:28 > 0:47:30LAUGHTER
0:47:31 > 0:47:36- So is he part of the crew, then? - Nearly. Nearly.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38A few more trips.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41Having embraced the chance to change his life,
0:47:41 > 0:47:43Callum hopes to impress Bruce on their last trip
0:47:43 > 0:47:47in the hopes of securing more deckie work.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51Bruce. Just want to make sure, mate, I am here to work.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53You have my word, believe me.
0:47:53 > 0:47:57Callum's a good worker, he can grind it out and do stuff.
0:47:57 > 0:47:58He's still got a long way to go.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01And, you know, we've got a busy day tomorrow,
0:48:01 > 0:48:04but we'll see what happens.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07The only thing I can do is just to get back on the boat and work hard.
0:48:07 > 0:48:10I'm keen to get on and hurry up and sort things out.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24- Wah!- Fucking...BLEEP!
0:48:24 > 0:48:26It's the rookies' last day.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28You'll make a good deckie yet, Jade.
0:48:28 > 0:48:33- And once again the Indian Ocean swells...- Fuck's sake!
0:48:33 > 0:48:38..prove why rock lobster fishing is one of the world's toughest jobs.
0:48:38 > 0:48:39Whoo!
0:48:39 > 0:48:42You all right, Jade? You've got to roll with the punches.
0:48:42 > 0:48:46It's been a gruelling three weeks.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49For Jade, making it through to the end
0:48:49 > 0:48:51has been a monumental achievement.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54Go and grab that crab out of the pot.
0:48:54 > 0:48:59- Just grab it by the leg, by the end of the leg.- Ugh!
0:48:59 > 0:49:02- Just chuck it away, we don't want them.- I'm not going to order
0:49:02 > 0:49:05any lobster when I go back to Northern Ireland.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08I won't be looking at it. I don't want to look at fish or anything when I get home.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10I'm never going on another boat in my life.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13I'm really surprised that I've made it this long.
0:49:13 > 0:49:16I'm not made for this kind of work at all.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19I'm glad that I've stuck it out and proved that I can do it.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22Like, it was worth the couple of bruises.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25While Jade looks forward to finishing,
0:49:25 > 0:49:29over on Night Stalker, Callum's throwing everything into
0:49:29 > 0:49:32a last-ditch attempt to impress Bruce.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35I'm getting all the ropes in order, look.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37That's in perfect order. That's good.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39Ropes are good, mate.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41I'm pretty happy.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44He's got something to boast about now.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48It's important for me to make a good impression,
0:49:48 > 0:49:50cos I want to stay on for a bit longer.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52I want to speak to Bruce,
0:49:52 > 0:49:54see if maybe he's got a few days for me after.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57Fingers crossed.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05Lovely, innit?
0:50:07 > 0:50:10I'm in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
0:50:11 > 0:50:15Any other day, I'd be doing a roof in...Bognor Regis.
0:50:18 > 0:50:22Bruce, I was wondering if, erm...
0:50:22 > 0:50:24I want to talk to you about working this week.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Yeah, more than impressed,
0:50:26 > 0:50:28definitely hang around, you're a big help.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31You know, we've got another two weeks of good busy work.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34Hopefully, you can hang around and come out all the time. It'd be wicked.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37If you stick it with us then you'll get a job anywhere.
0:50:44 > 0:50:45I'm really happy.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48It's amazing how much I've come on since the first day.
0:50:48 > 0:50:52You know, being sick... being sick overboard,
0:50:52 > 0:50:55didn't want to be here, wanted to go home, now look.
0:50:55 > 0:50:58It's just amazing, innit?
0:51:00 > 0:51:04Easy money. And I'm not spending it in the bookies, cos I'm on a boat.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06I need this in my life.
0:51:06 > 0:51:09It's just...amazing.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13- As Jade docks into Dongara for the last time...- To the pub!
0:51:13 > 0:51:17- ..it's the moment she's been waiting for.- I've got your final pay here.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20- Brilliant. Thank you very much. - That's all sorted out.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22You know, after that first day,
0:51:22 > 0:51:25I thought you'll be only here for a couple of days and you'll be gone.
0:51:25 > 0:51:28- But you...you stuck it out, so good on you.- Yeah. Cheers.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30She was good, actually. She soldiered on.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33She can go home with her head held high. She came out here
0:51:33 > 0:51:35and worked the deck on a lobster boat,
0:51:35 > 0:51:38which a lot of other people can't do.
0:51:38 > 0:51:40She can go home proud.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44It's a really, really good feeling to have completed it.
0:51:44 > 0:51:49It is weird having that money that I've proper earned just there.
0:51:49 > 0:51:54I'm just so happy that I did it and I didn't quit and give up.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57- All right, Callum, there's your pay. - All right, mate.
0:51:57 > 0:52:01- It's up-to-date. You've been awesome the last few days, been really good. - Thank you.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04Yeah, it's just practice from now on, but you got the job down pat.
0:52:04 > 0:52:08- No, it's good.- Yeah, I'll be happy to come in as long as you need me. - Yeah.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10- Right. Thanks a lot, Bruce. - No worries.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13Callum's going really well. You've got to tough it out.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15You know, it's always hard the first bit when you start.
0:52:15 > 0:52:19And he's just part of the team now and he fits in really well.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21Before the boats head back out to sea,
0:52:21 > 0:52:25there's just time for a farewell beer and a final goodbye.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27Really well done for sticking it out.
0:52:27 > 0:52:31- You know, you should be proud of yourself.- So what do you think you'll do now, then?
0:52:31 > 0:52:34- Are you going to work for a wee while here and then...?- Yeah, going to work here then head on,
0:52:34 > 0:52:36where my journey takes me.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38- All right.- All right.- Lovely to... lovely to meet you.- Yeah.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Have me on Facebook and stuff.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42Feels great to be finished.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44But it's so worth it when you get paid.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47In three weeks down under, Jade, like Callum,
0:52:47 > 0:52:50has made a pre-tax profit of £1,000.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53To have earned two grand, like, is unreal.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56Yeah, it's for the car. Definitely.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59Being on the boat has been really good for me.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01It's kind of threw me into reality a bit.
0:53:01 > 0:53:05It's taught me to appreciate what I have,
0:53:05 > 0:53:08because I have got it really easy and I'm really lucky.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10As Jade heads home,
0:53:10 > 0:53:15Callum prepares to make the most of his working-holiday visa.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17I've earned two grand and he's asked me to stay on.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20I could earn another 3,000, however long I stay on for.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22It could be more. It's exciting. I need to earn it.
0:53:22 > 0:53:25I just want to look back in my bank and think,
0:53:25 > 0:53:28"I've got a shitload of money in my bank...for once."
0:53:28 > 0:53:31I feel really happy.
0:53:31 > 0:53:33Only reason why I'm not smiling so much
0:53:33 > 0:53:35is cos my sunburn's really hurting! HE LAUGHS
0:53:38 > 0:53:40Home!
0:53:55 > 0:53:58In South Wales, Luke went back to work for his dad,
0:53:58 > 0:54:03but doesn't see his time in Australia as a missed opportunity.
0:54:03 > 0:54:06I have a very low tolerance to things I don't like,
0:54:06 > 0:54:10and, usually, I can just give it up because I've got a safety net in life.
0:54:10 > 0:54:15- Thank you.- Luke's dad, Steve, is less forgiving.
0:54:15 > 0:54:16He can't just sit back
0:54:16 > 0:54:20and allow...everything to just drop into his lap.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23There is no such thing as the ideal, perfect job.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26You've got to start at the bottom and you've got to work to the top.
0:54:26 > 0:54:27Where's the jet washer?
0:54:27 > 0:54:30You said... Oh, no, you said a brush and that's all you said.
0:54:30 > 0:54:34It could be a sense of accomplishment if I stuck with something to the end,
0:54:34 > 0:54:36or it could be a giant waste of time.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38I wasn't willing to take that risk.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41But, you know, it is the most independent thing I've done anyway.
0:54:41 > 0:54:43That's a health hazard, that is, Luke.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46I'm just hoping he'll look back with pride on what he's done,
0:54:46 > 0:54:51but I'm also hoping he'll look back with a little bit of regret that he couldn't see it through.
0:54:51 > 0:54:55It's like the devil and an angel on your shoulder. The devil's telling me that, "Oh, yeah,
0:54:55 > 0:54:57"but you could do so much cooler stuff instead of this."
0:54:57 > 0:55:00And then the angel says, "Maybe you should carry on till the end."
0:55:00 > 0:55:03I don't know, you know, I just...
0:55:03 > 0:55:06Usually, I listen to the devil, usually.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13Meanwhile in Northern Ireland...
0:55:13 > 0:55:14- BOTH:- Hello!
0:55:14 > 0:55:20..Jade arrives home to a warm welcome from her mum and the rest of her family.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23- Give us a hug.- Hi.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25If you had have seen me, you wouldn't believe it, honestly.
0:55:25 > 0:55:27Yous will not believe it.
0:55:27 > 0:55:31I was coming home and making my packed lunch and all,
0:55:31 > 0:55:36and packing my wee bag for the next day and making me bed and everything.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39- That's good.- Brilliant.- I know.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41- Who's for tea, then?- Me.
0:55:41 > 0:55:44One, two, three, four, five. Five.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47I'm really proud of her that she has shown us now
0:55:47 > 0:55:51that she can go out there and do a hard, physical job.
0:55:51 > 0:55:56So it's nice now to actually hear her say, "I can do those things myself."
0:55:56 > 0:56:00So I will be taking a step back and let her do them herself.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03I feel...more independent already,
0:56:03 > 0:56:07and I don't feel like such a wee kid,
0:56:07 > 0:56:09cos I know I can do things for myself
0:56:09 > 0:56:12and I shouldn't have people do it for me.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15Before I knew I could do it, I just didn't have to.
0:56:15 > 0:56:17And now, like, I actually want to,
0:56:17 > 0:56:20it's not just having to do it, I actually want to do it.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24Next time on World's Toughest Jobs...
0:56:24 > 0:56:26..Arctic trawler fishing.
0:56:26 > 0:56:30- SPLUTTERING - Can three more Brits hack the pace?
0:56:30 > 0:56:33Or will life on the high seas push them to breaking point?
0:56:33 > 0:56:36You just piss me off. You piss me off.
