0:00:02 > 0:00:04Christchurch. A small town on the south coast of England,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07where a third of the population is over 60.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Nicknamed "God's waiting room",
0:00:10 > 0:00:13it's the ultimate pensioners' paradise.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15But now, the town has opened its gates to
0:00:15 > 0:00:19a swarm of young job seekers to work in their old-fashioned businesses.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22All the butchers that I know are all getting old now.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25This trade needs new blood.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Senior employers have offered eight weeks' work experience,
0:00:29 > 0:00:33and for those that impress, the chance of a permanent job.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36In exchange, the town will receive an injection of new blood.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Lovely to meet you.
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Hello, my name's Remus.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42The invasion has begun as 11 young people
0:00:42 > 0:00:44have been selected to live together...
0:00:47 > 0:00:50..and work across nine local businesses.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52From a fish stall...
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Hold it by his back.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54..to the local butcher's.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56My little mate.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59As you can see, there are the hairs on his chinny-chin-chin.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02The bosses review the trainees' work at weekly appraisals.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05That's very good, Renee. Absolutely.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- You've done really well. - Pleasure doing business.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- HE BELCHES - And those that don't come up to scratch could face the sack.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15The housemates have had way too much to drink.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Coming up...
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Bits in the sink. It knocks me sick.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20The pressures of moving away from home
0:01:20 > 0:01:25and sharing a house with total strangers starts to take its toll.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Clean up after yourself. No-one is a parent.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31I just feel like I'm letting her down and I hate it.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Get me out of this house. I'm going home.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38This programme contains strong language
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Week three, and our 11 trainees are now down to nine after graduate
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Glenn quit and Christian was sacked.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49I can't take this, yeah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Apprentice ferryman Adam got off on the wrong foot
0:01:51 > 0:01:55with his mentor Paul and was given a final warning.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57You got a yellow card.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59For being, like, five, ten minutes late?
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Absolutely bloody right.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04The guy is a prick. He's a full-on dickhead.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Despite their differences, Adam started enjoying the job.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12I'm waking up and I'm like, right, that's it, let me get back to work.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16Carl nearly ruined his opportunity at the butcher's by turning
0:02:16 > 0:02:19up five hours late after an all-night drinking session.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21PHONE RINGS
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Hello, Carl.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I've literally just woken up about two minutes ago.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Do you want me at the shop? - Well, this is your job, isn't it?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31You've got to show responsibility.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34We'll forget about it this time but don't let it happen again.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Cup of tea. Could change my mood.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52No rest for the wicked, they say, innit? I don't know.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55It's Saturday, and while some of the housemates are enjoying a
0:02:55 > 0:03:01well-earned rest, it's work as usual for Carl, Remus, Rachel and Adam.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I'm going to work. I'll see you later, yeah?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11It may be the weekend, but Adam is continuing to impress mentor Paul.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13We have this thing with Adam where we want him...
0:03:13 > 0:03:15It's a nine o'clock start most days,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18so unless he's five minutes early, he's late.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21But Adam's been turning up half an hour early,
0:03:21 > 0:03:26which is astounding since we nearly had to get rid of him.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Good morning.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29What a horrible day.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32He's wanting to be useful and helpful.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35He's turning out to be a very good work experience lad.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Shall I grab two coffees while I'm up that side?
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Yep. I'll have a tea.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44With Adam doing so well as a crew member, captain Paul has
0:03:44 > 0:03:47decided that it's time for him to take on a new challenge.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53He's showing initiative and so we then teach him a few more things.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54You all right, boss?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Oh, you all right?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Yeah, man. Guess what I'm doing? - What?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Learning how to drive the boat today. I get to learn it.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02That's good, cos you wanted to do that from the beginning.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I said that, didn't I?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06As soon as I said I found out I was on a ferry, I was like, right...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08"I want to drive the boat."
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Obviously you can't just chuck me on without like learning or...
0:04:10 > 0:04:14No, and he has to trust you first, so he must think highly of you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Definitely.- Well done, you, man.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18Yeah.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Yeah, I'm going to go and learn in a bit, yeah?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- All right then, have fun, man.- Yeah, man, I will.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33OK, Adam, I'm going to teach you how to drive this boat now,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35so this is the steering wheel.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36This is the engine control.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39First of all, we can start the engine.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46OK. I'll do the throttle. You just concentrate on the wheel.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Okey-dokey.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I feel like I've started to learn a lot more.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I'm learning a lot more about this.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Just come over a little bit more. Aim for that green buoy.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I feel like I've got more confidence.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I'm just trying to make the most of it and do the best I can.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Just doing some driving practice here...
0:05:04 > 0:05:06As Adam gets to grips with driving the boat,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Paul piles on the pressure with a quiz.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14What colour light would you find on the port side of a vessel?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Red.- Very good.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- What year was Nelson born?- Who?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Horatio Nelson.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Horatio Nelson? CSI Miami?
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Did you not just say Horatio?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30He was a commander in the British Navy
0:05:30 > 0:05:33and his ship was called The Victory.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Oh... So not CSI?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37No, it's not CSI.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Still a little bit to learn.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43While general knowledge isn't Adam's thing,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45maybe he'll fare better with his practical side.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Next test - docking the boat.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Eventually, you'll end up aiming for this far post.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56There we go, and we stop about here.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58And a little bump.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00That was a bit more than a little bump.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Go ahead. Go ahead. Ahead.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Take over.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I feel like I'm going a bit too fast for that.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Thing you've got to appreciate is the width of the boat.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I can't teach that. It's just experience. There we go.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16- We're going in.- Like all trainees,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Adam is heading towards another weekly appraisal,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21where his work will be assessed.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26If he does well, he'll be one step closer to a permanent job,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28so he's going to have to nail it this time.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Aim for that.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Aim for that.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35That's good. That's good. Looking good.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Come out a little bit. There we go.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Looking good. There we go.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Safely alongside on the ponty.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Good. Well done. Just leave it ticking over just there.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58That's all there is to it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- All right, that did. - Did it feel all right?
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Yeah, it felt quite nice. - Good, well done.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05The more you learn, the more better you get.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I knew all of them yesterday and now,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I'm just getting confused again.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Also working down at Mudeford Quay is Adam's roommate,
0:07:19 > 0:07:2122-year-old Remus.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25At the fish shop, there's a test for him too.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I said I don't know what...
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I'm from Leicester. I love music.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I can be a party animal, but I can still go bed at 12 o'clock
0:07:36 > 0:07:39and get up for six in the morning.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43I hate being unemployed. I really hate it. No money,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45no reason to get up in the morning.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I've had loads and loads of jobs.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Waitering, bar work, call centre, retail.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I'm afraid that it may look like I job hop.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Now I feel like I'm at the age where I want a job and I want to
0:07:58 > 0:08:03stick at it and prove I can be a sensible, hard-working person.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07For two weeks, Remus has worked at the fish stall with owner
0:08:07 > 0:08:09and mentor Russell, his wife Becky...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11£5.78 then, please.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13..and their daughter-in-law Millie.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15So you did very well.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Thank you. Pleasure doing fish with you.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Well done.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21I think he's enjoying the challenge.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I have strong arms.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26He's enjoying mixing with people and serving customers.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Thank you.- He's great when he's here. Lovely bloke.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Does everything you ask him to do. - There you go. Enjoy the rest of your day.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Getting him here is the problem I've got.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Recently, Remus has been struggling to get into work
0:08:38 > 0:08:40and his time-keeping has become erratic.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42He's been late on more than one occasion.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Really am so sorry.- Third time now.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- With ever more bizarre excuses. - I got lost.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I went round in a circle and ended up back where I started.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Next time it does happen, I won't need you for the whole day.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56And yesterday he didn't go in at all.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57I've got a really bad belly.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Go out for a drink last night, did you?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- No.- Oh, you just said... You are actually ill?
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Yeah.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Today, Remus is back after his day off sick
0:09:08 > 0:09:12and is keen to make amends for letting his mentor down.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13How you feeling today, Remus?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15A lot better, thank you, Russell.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Yesterday, we had to get somebody to come cover for you.- Yeah.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21So they would normally work on a Sunday but they're not going
0:09:21 > 0:09:23to work this Sunday cos they've done a day in lieu.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Is that OK that you can cover them on Sunday?- Yeah.- But for that day.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Mh-mm.- OK, super. Lovely.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Today, though, Remus has more to learn.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Firstly, how to prepare a fish.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35We're going to push it on a little bit further now.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38We're going to start with some heading and gutting.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41I think with Remus, he's picking it up very quickly.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Go back up the fish. - OK. Like that, yeah.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45OK? So then I've got that bit of meat there,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and you always go away from your hand with the knife.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51That's it. Chop down now.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52That's it. Whatever we throw at him,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55he takes it on the chin and gets straight on with it.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Now that's all guts, obviously.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Oh, this is disgusting. I do feel content in this job
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- and I think that's the most important thing.- So...
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- Heading, gutting and trimming. - We've headed, we've gutted, we just need to trim now.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08I feel like somebody...
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Working on the fish stall, I actually feel like someone.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Literally, every day has just got better and better.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I've just learnt so much. I've actually enjoyed it.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20If I feel content in the job, I feel like I can stick to it
0:10:20 > 0:10:22and that's what I'm going to do.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25That's it. Ready to wrap up for the customer.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Oh, right, OK.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Remus.- Yes?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31When you're free, will you take the bird food out, please?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Yes.- Thank you. OK. Be careful.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39REMUS SCREAMS
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It's half past 11, Rach.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I don't want to know what time it is.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Because I'm supposed to be in work.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Back at the house,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Remus isn't the only trainee with problems getting to work.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Rachel, you're going to get fired.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Can you just get out, please?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02No.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09People try to put me into a specific stereotype.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Whether it be a rocker or goth.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15I've been called an emo before. I'm sorry, I'm not an emo.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I've been relatively lucky when I've been unemployed.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Most of the time when I get an interview, I get the job.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I don't know whether that's just because everyone loves me
0:11:23 > 0:11:26but in terms of actually trying to hold down a job,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I haven't been lucky at all.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Struggling with authority has something to do with it, definitely.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36If the opportunity arises for me to relocate for a job, I'll do it.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Something like this is probably never going to crop up again
0:11:39 > 0:11:41so I'm going to grab it with both hands and run with it.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43For the last two weeks,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Rachel's had a job in outdoor plants at Stewart's Garden Centre...
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Oh, where do you live?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49..working with her mentor, Julie.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52But she's been struggling to turn up.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54'I've got a banging headache and aching limbs.'
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I'll do a Saturday or a Sunday this weekend, if you want.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59It is a bit frustrating.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03When we come to her appraisal, we're talking about time-keeping,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05lunch breaks, start times, there's a couple of times
0:12:05 > 0:12:06when she's been late in.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08I work on the basis that we're all adults.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11You know when you need to be here.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Today, having said she'd work the weekend to make up
0:12:14 > 0:12:17for the time taken off sick, Rachel's not budging.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Hey, you've got to ring your work quickly
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- and then you can go back to sleep.- I offered to do it. It's not compulsory.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Do you want me to ring your work for you, Rachel?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- Err...- Cos you're going to get into loads of trouble if you don't do it.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Was you sick yesterday?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- You didn't go to work yesterday, did you?- Oh.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36She had a day off, then went in, then had another day off.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43Is that Julie?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Yes.- It's Rachel.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Oh, destroyed again. I don't know what's wrong with me, Julie.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Yeah. I'm sorry that I've let you down again.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02No problem. Bye.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Was she all right, yeah?- Yeah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- She's well nice, that boss, isn't she?- She's lovely.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Stuff in an apple. Plenty of.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Carl's criminal record has meant he struggled to get
0:13:15 > 0:13:16work for the last six years,
0:13:16 > 0:13:21but he made a flying start at the butcher's, impressing mentor Robin.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Bye now. See ya, mate.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Until he too blotted his unblemished record by turning up late.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31So I learnt my lesson after being five hours late.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35I'm not doing that again, no way. It was too awkward.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I felt like I'd let the side down,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39let Robin down after everything he's done for me.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41He's pretty confident with what he's doing now.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Cheers, my man. Thanks very much.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45He seems to be enjoying it more this week.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- I think he learnt his lesson last week.- Have a good day.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49- See you later, guys. - See you, mate.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52What makes the job is the people -
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Robin, you know, having a laugh with the lads.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Two's Company?!
0:13:57 > 0:14:00You read some of them out. They're funny.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Cheeky bugger. Right, let's see this now.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Focused, adorable and convi...
0:14:06 > 0:14:07convivial?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Beg your pardon?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11New Milton. 6'2".
0:14:11 > 0:14:146'2"!
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Oh, no, 62. Fucking 62!
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Fucking hell. Don't think they're easily offended.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Clean hands and a filthy mind go down a treat in the butchering trade.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Carl and his fellow trainees
0:14:28 > 0:14:30have been in Christchurch for two weeks now.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32For most of them,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35it's their first experience of life away from their families.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38So, Carl is cooking up a plan to make the house feel more homely.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40What's this you're doing with your dinner then?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44I want to cook Sunday roast. I'm sure we're all missing home, aren't we?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Sunday roast is a nice chance to...
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Well, it's traditional, for a start.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54It's a nice way to get the house feeling all friendly.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56That's what I'm all about.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Come on then.- Righty-oh.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Grab a basket. - What do you think?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It's a chicken, isn't it?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Big enough them, aren't they?
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Thanks very much, Robin.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Gordon Ramsay, eat your heart out!
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Back home on the dole, I was eating porridge for breakfast,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19noodles for lunch, beans on toast for tea,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21sounds exciting, doesn't it?
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Since I've been here, I've been eating spicy sausages,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27steaks - the lot, really.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Who knows, I might be a 32 waist at the end of this.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Across Christchurch on the Mudeford Quay, another two
0:15:37 > 0:15:41trainees are buzzing after their successful Saturday at work.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Yes, bredra, what you saying?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Yo, man. How's the driving going?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Oh, you know what, yeah? That was sick. That was absolutely...
0:15:48 > 0:15:52I proper loved it in there, like, I never in my life would ever
0:15:52 > 0:15:54thought like I'm going to be behind the wheel of a boat.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Maybe a car and bikes and stuff, but a boat...
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- But a boat.- It was sick. What's your day been like anyway?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03I've learnt all the different names of all the fish.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06I've learnt how to cut off their head, take out their hearts
0:16:06 > 0:16:08and their guts. I didn't know that before.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Mate, I put... All I know about fish is put a rod in the water, yeah,
0:16:11 > 0:16:14with a bit of meat on and then the rod can catch it.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17That's me. Me and my dad, mate.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Is that how you catch your girls? Ha-ha!- You...
0:16:27 > 0:16:30We're going to rock on tonight, boy.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33It's Saturday evening and the trainees are preparing
0:16:33 > 0:16:37for a night out at a rock club that's been organised by James.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39I don't usually go clubbing at all.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41The first time I went out to a nightclub was last Saturday with
0:16:41 > 0:16:43the rest of the group.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Hopefully, there'll be a few more people there that
0:16:45 > 0:16:47listen to the same sort of stuff I do.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Do I look rocky enough for you?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51It's all right. You look lovely as usual.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- Oh, bless you.- I got work in the morning though, Remus.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- You've got to remember, yeah?- Yeah. - And you have, mate.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58You've got the same, work the same time as me, like...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00But I'm some person that can go out, have a good time,
0:17:00 > 0:17:05come home, go to bed, sleep like that, wake up, go to work.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10Might be slightly tired but I can do it.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Looks like you have it all under control, Remus.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19MUSIC: "Ace Of Spades" by Motorhead
0:17:24 > 0:17:30It's deafening, dangerous, and fucking awesome.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I want to get some food and go home.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Having had their ears and bodies battered,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43the trainees head home confident that being in for midnight
0:17:43 > 0:17:45means they'll be OK for work in the morning.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Oh, look. It's still ten to 12. I've still got ten minutes.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I'm back before 12 o'clock, yeah, because I got...
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Oh!- Who's that?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Fucking hell, yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I think my house-mates have had way too much to drink.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Could somebody help me up, yeah?
0:18:07 > 0:18:08One, two, three.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16You know what, yeah? My night last night was kind of banging.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17Still, I'm not even going to lie, like,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I went down and got involved in a couple of mosh pits.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Nearly swung a couple of heads with some bloody grebs,
0:18:23 > 0:18:25but no, it was a banging night.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28I wish I'd followed my gut instincts and stayed in.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Remus has been late for work three times
0:18:30 > 0:18:32and today there's a problem too.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34There's not been hot water for two days now.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I refuse to leave the house. Do you know what?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41I actually feel well enough, like, I feel fine to go to work.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44If I had a shower now, I would feel even more fine.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It's just nasty, man. At the end of the day, I...
0:18:49 > 0:18:53With everyone else off today apart from Remus and Adam,
0:18:53 > 0:18:57there's plenty of time for high jinks and larking about, but not for Carl.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59He's got a big day in the kitchen.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I'm making a Sunday roast.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04But first of all, I'm making a bacon buttie and having a cup of tea.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Standard.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08You going to go to work?
0:19:08 > 0:19:09I really want to.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12And the thing is, I don't even feel hung-over.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I don't even feel tired. I just want...
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I just feel nasty. I feel grimy.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Yeah, all I'm saying is you're there for a half a day, innit,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23so this, I would have just thought, get up and just do it, man.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I've got to go to work now, me. I go work.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28I'm going to ring them now.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I'm going to tell them the truth.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Suit yourself.- See you later.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35With Adam off to report for duty on the ferry
0:19:35 > 0:19:38and Remus still in bed, Carl hits the kitchen.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- OK, now. - But there's a problem.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44As you can see, we've got a lot of dirty bastards who don't
0:19:44 > 0:19:46clean up after themselves.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Still thinking they're at home with parents,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51so hence I'm a little bit pissed off this morning.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56While Carl gets his head around the dirty kitchen,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Remus has decided he will go into work,
0:19:58 > 0:20:02so he's calling his boss Becky to let her know why he's running late.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Hello, is that Becky?
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Hi, Becky, it's Remus.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13The reason why I'm late is because there's still no hot water
0:20:13 > 0:20:16and it's the second day in a row there's no hot water and I feel...
0:20:34 > 0:20:35OK, Becky.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42What a lame, feeble excuse. There's no hot water.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43Today was our day off.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45We were meant to go out. We're meant to do something.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47We've had to change that and come into work.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Coming to work in the fish stall, right?
0:20:50 > 0:20:54You don't necessarily need a shower, and if you do, have a cold one.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57She's just said that she'll speak to me on Tuesday
0:20:57 > 0:20:58and she put the phone down on me.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I'd have to think of a different excuse than no hot water
0:21:01 > 0:21:04because you're making yourself look a mug.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Well, he's certainly trying to treat me as a mug by saying it to me.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Yeah.- Thinking I... - That's what I think.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12..ultimately would even believe a thing like that.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16What annoys me is I feel that he's insulting our intelligence to
0:21:16 > 0:21:19think that we would believe such a stupid story.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Yeah. I mean how, how naive must you be? What did he expect us to say?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25"Oh, poor Remus, hasn't got any hot water.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26"Yeah, super, take the day off."
0:21:29 > 0:21:32If I was a boss and one of my employees rang and said
0:21:32 > 0:21:36I can't come into work because the hot water's not running...
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I would have put them on a final warning straightaway.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I wouldn't have given them no chance.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I'll have a little chat with him when I get back and tell him,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45"You're lucky you've still got your job."
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Make sure he does come into work tomorrow.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57First thing first in the kitchen, look after expensive garments.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02So, apron on.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I think it's really sweet that Carl's cooked.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07He's like the house dad - always full of advice.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I've got two chickens from work and I've already prepared them
0:22:10 > 0:22:13a little bit, by sprinkling on some rosemary.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I'm going to score it, sprinkle a little bit more on,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19stick them in the oven and then crack on with the rest of the stuff
0:22:19 > 0:22:21that I prepared this morning.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- I'll set the table.- Brilliant.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27That's a cracking idea, that, mate.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I don't think it's fair that Carl...
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Bless him, he's paid for the food.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Everyone helps in their own little way.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I would love someone to put the ironing board away.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39I've not used the ironing board, so I'm not touching it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Is it on? It's not even on.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Can everyone make themselves sat down and ready to eat, yeah?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54So with another beer down, the chicken carved
0:22:54 > 0:22:57and Adam back from work, it's time for the housemates to
0:22:57 > 0:22:59enjoy their first sit-down meal together
0:22:59 > 0:23:01since they arrived in Christchurch.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03GLASSES CLINKING
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- FEMALE:- Oh, a toast.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Good company, good friends, living the good life, yeah?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10THEY CHEER
0:23:10 > 0:23:12I'm so emosh!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Thank you so much, Carl, it's beautiful.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17You can choose your friends, you can't choose your family.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19We are family now, whether you like it or not.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23I want people to all get on, support each other when we need it, yeah?
0:23:23 > 0:23:24That's what we've got to do here.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26REMUS: I feel like I've messed up a bit.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30I really hope that when I go back to work, that they're going to
0:23:30 > 0:23:33give me that second chance cos I do actually want to do this.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37And I want to make them proud of me and not disappointed in me.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40After Carl has created a warm, loving feeling in the house,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43they all agree how to keep a happy home.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Starting with the washing up.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50I think now is a good chance to prove that we can wash up after ourselves.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52We should all wash our own plates...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Benny, see, now you're trying to get out of it.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03It's only a plate and a knife and fork.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05You don't need to cos you cooked.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09As Carl settles down with another beer, Remus and Adam talk work.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Do you know what I'm going to do?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I'm going to go in tomorrow on my day off.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Don't tell them that you're going to be coming in.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Just turn up, cos then they will think...
0:24:18 > 0:24:19That will put a good impression.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Well, he has turned up on his day off, off his own back.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23That will look good, man.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Yeah, and-and, you know... - Like, if you worked for me
0:24:26 > 0:24:29and you just turned up, I'd be like, "All right then, all right then."
0:24:29 > 0:24:31It will feel good. Trust me. You'll have that nice feeling.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35I'm not going to just apologise just because I think it's the right
0:24:35 > 0:24:38thing to do, I'm going to apologise because I genuinely am sorry.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45Monday morning, 6am, the start of another working week.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Trainee appraisals loom on the horizon,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49and as ever, Carl's first up and off to work.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- Morning, Robin. - Morning, Carl.- All right?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Good weekend, Robin?- Yeah, you?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57- Sunday roast.- How was it?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Went down a treat.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Everyone enjoyed and that, yeah. - Jolly good.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Who washed up then?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08We decided that we're all going to clean up after ourselves
0:25:08 > 0:25:10and not leave no mess for anybody else.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Just presume that everyone would wash their own stuff,
0:25:13 > 0:25:15especially after having a sit-down meal cooked for them.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- And they didn't want to do it? - Well, I've come down this morning
0:25:18 > 0:25:22and there's plates that haven't even been scraped.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25You live and learn. C'est la vie.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27All that lot.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30It's not a bad day today. It's half day.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32It's not brown-nosing, is it, Robin?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34We're having, we're going, playing golf, aren't we?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yeah, we are, mate.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38What do we have to wear and that, Robin?
0:25:38 > 0:25:40You have to wear like pants and a polo shirt?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Proper trousers and...
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Bobble hat.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Nah, you don't have to have a bobble hat, no.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50People using our fucking shit!
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Oh.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Back at the house, the start of the day is better for some than others.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59My fucking shit.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Do you know what I've had out of that?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Two cup of teas. Fucking hell.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Drama, drama, drama.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11People fucking peck my head.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12What...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15It's not fucking hard to ask, "Can I use some please?"
0:26:15 > 0:26:20- It's not fucking rocket science. - I think it might get steadily worse.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Part of me feels a bit nervous this morning about going into work.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28It's his day off but Remus is going to the fish store to
0:26:28 > 0:26:31apologise to his bosses for his no-show yesterday.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35The ideal scenario would be I have a chat to them,
0:26:35 > 0:26:39they accept my apology and they don't hold a grudge.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I hope they just let me get on with it.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Worst-case scenario would be if I go in and they say,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47"You know what Remus? We're just not happy with it.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50"Can't be putting up with it. We're going to have to let you go."
0:26:50 > 0:26:53I shouldn't feel nervous cos I know it's going to be all right.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59People's work ethics are coming into question.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02People aren't turning up for work and people
0:27:02 > 0:27:05are throwing sickies left, right and centre.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- Are they? - Remus didn't go into work yesterday.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I don't know.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Talk about moon on a stick.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18This poor lad didn't go to work because there was no hot water.
0:27:19 > 0:27:26Before I moved here, I hadn't had hot water for seven, eight months.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27I just couldn't afford it.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I used to fill up three kettles, put them in the bath.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37I'd have like an inch of water and I'd roll around like a dolphin.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Across town, 20-year-old Deneka heads into the salon ready to
0:27:42 > 0:27:46start another week's hair dressing under the watchful eye of mentor
0:27:46 > 0:27:47and owner Irene.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49It's been really good. Like, I really enjoy it here.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Like, all the staff make you feel like part of the team.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Now dry that section there.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00I think she gets on well with everybody. She's settled in here.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Get the air into it, otherwise you'll never get a nice blow dry.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- You've never got enough hair in it. - Sounds really bad but I like to be hands-on,
0:28:06 > 0:28:08so standing around and writing and stuff.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Doing things, I do learn a lot more. Like, in school, I didn't like really listen
0:28:12 > 0:28:14cos I just got bored of listening.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I think this placement's quite ideal for me
0:28:16 > 0:28:18cos it's more of a hands-on thing.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20It's just like painting, really.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Irene's shown me a lot as well, like,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24she's a really good person, to be honest.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28- I'm going to let you have a go now. - Thank you.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31You've just done that bit, haven't you?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Yep. You push your finger, that's it.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36It will stay up on its own then. That's it.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Just small sections.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40She's also shown me the practical side of hairdressing
0:28:40 > 0:28:44so she's not been using me like I'm some skivvy like all the other placements I've done.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Or you can go straight across there if you want to. It's up to you.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Irene just asked me to do what I was doing, like, while she was doing her client's hair,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54so that made me feel a bit happy cos she, like, had faith in me.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Like, didn't have to, like, keep an eye on me.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59I think I've done quite well with it.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01She picks things up nice and quickly.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03And you don't expect people to pick it up that quickly.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06You don't. Quite sharp really, aren't you?
0:29:09 > 0:29:13Down on Mudeford Quay, things aren't going quite so well for Remus.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14I messed up at work.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18My boss Russell is very annoyed with me.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20They had to come in on their day off so today I'm
0:29:20 > 0:29:23coming in on my day off to prove to them that I'm sorry
0:29:23 > 0:29:27and I just want to be serious about this and get it right.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Hello, Russell.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39- Remus.- Hello. Am I OK to have a word with you here?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- Sure.- Um, I came in today
0:29:42 > 0:29:48because I just wanted to apologise for messing up yesterday.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53I fully understand what I've done. I regret it.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57I feel awful for making you and Becky come in on your day off.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00You didn't deserve that and I just want you to know that I'm
0:30:00 > 0:30:04really sorry and I hope, I hope that you can give me a second chance.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09My problem is, Remus, is that I need punctuality,
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I need people to be reliable.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13You haven't been. It wasn't just yesterday.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16We've had a few situations. You're a lovely guy.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18You work very well when you are here,
0:30:18 > 0:30:21it's just that we've got a definite problem with you
0:30:21 > 0:30:22turning up on time.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- So I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go.- OK.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29You know, I'm running a business. It has to be taken seriously.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31It's not fair on, well, on anyone really.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- I understand.- Not just me. - I understand.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37I've enjoyed the whole time being here and you've really, you know,
0:30:37 > 0:30:40I really did love it so I'm just thankful for the opportunity.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43OK. Well, of course we've got no hard feelings
0:30:43 > 0:30:45- and we all wish you the best. - Thank you.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- So good luck. - Thank you very much, Russell.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- No problem.- Take care of yourself. - And you.- Thank you.- Bye.- Bye.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Hmm. Oh, well.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02We've had several days of lateness.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Not turning in at all.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Yesterday was basically final straw, because we'd all made
0:31:07 > 0:31:11plans for the day and we had to change them all and come into work.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14I'm annoyed with him for messing it up for himself but at the end
0:31:14 > 0:31:18of the day his punctuality and ethic for work is bad.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30I'm so disappointed in myself.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Sometimes you just don't realise what you've got really
0:31:40 > 0:31:41until you lose it anyway.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50I am gutted to leave. Very gutted.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Adam wants to know how Remus's chat with Russell has gone,
0:31:57 > 0:32:02and heads over to the fish store to check on his roommate.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- Good afternoon, everybody. - All right, Adam.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- You all right?- Yeah, you?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Yeah, I'm not bad. Where's Remus? - Bit of a sore point.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Remus, we've had to ask him to leave.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- Really?- Yeah, he's gone.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Why?- He's got a lot of attributes. He's got a great personality.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21He's great with the customers, great with the team, you know?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24But his punctuality, he really needs to polish up on
0:32:24 > 0:32:26and hopefully he'll go away and think about it.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33You all right, bro?
0:32:34 > 0:32:35Hello.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40Yo, bro. Yo, bro, slippery down here, mate.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Are you all right, yeah?
0:32:42 > 0:32:47Truthfully, I'm gutted. I'm really disappointed. It's my own fault.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- I've only got myself to blame anyway.- Yeah.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52You know? I'm more disappointed in myself.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55It's just nice to know, like, at least you're going away with
0:32:55 > 0:32:57experience of fish, innit?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59At least you've got a bit of knowledge.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Yeah, I've got fish knowledge.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05I can't believe it. I can't believe it, man.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- I can't believe you're leaving, man. - I'm going to miss you a lot still.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11I'm going to miss you too, man.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14A lot. Like, we balanced. We balanced, innit? We fully balanced.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23At the butcher's, Carl is also in for a shock.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28Robin has news that will pile on the pressure over the next two weeks.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29I'm going away on holiday.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Right.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34And Mark and John will sort you out.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Who's going to be in charge?
0:33:38 > 0:33:41I just expect more of the same when I come back and he tells me
0:33:41 > 0:33:44how good you've been. That's what I'm expecting.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Great. If you can't be good, take care, yeah?
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Having worked so well under Robin's guidance for the first two weeks,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Carl's determined that his progress won't slow without his support.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58There's a famous saying when the cat's away, you know?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01But, no, not in this case. And obviously I'm self-conscious.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03I feel a bit of pressure on my shoulders as well to keep
0:34:03 > 0:34:06the ball rolling in the same way. At the end of the day I'm Carl Owen
0:34:06 > 0:34:08and I'm going to make the most of this.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17It's lunchtime in Christchurch, and with her work going so well,
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Deneka opens up to mentor Irene about her problems living
0:34:21 > 0:34:24with the other trainees, who can't tidy up, and use her milk.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- Yeah, that house is a bit hectic. - It will be, won't it?
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Everyone's really nice in the house
0:34:31 > 0:34:36but I think some people are just a bit more out there than others.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39You're quite strong-minded, aren't you?
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Very strong-minded.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Do you think that's the life you've led?
0:34:42 > 0:34:43I've lived in, like, hostels
0:34:43 > 0:34:46and stuff before with like loads of people, but, like, we've
0:34:46 > 0:34:49never... Well, we have all, like, chilled together and stuff
0:34:49 > 0:34:52but it's nothing like that house.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Like, that house is just...
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Well, of course you're used to living on your own.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Oh, yeah, I am.
0:34:57 > 0:35:02So you're independent, and you're finding their untidiness a nuisance.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05The other night, me and Renee, we must have gone downstairs
0:35:05 > 0:35:08for a water or something and we came down, it's just like a big mess.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12It looked like a bomb site or something. It was, ugh.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I can get wound up easily so, like, I could imagine
0:35:15 > 0:35:18someone, like, saying something that would P me off.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Like, if someone's arguing with me I have to walk away from it,
0:35:21 > 0:35:23cos I get annoyed really quickly.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26I only hit someone, like, if they talk about my mum
0:35:26 > 0:35:27or if someone hits me.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29I've never actually gone to hit someone first.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Well, actually I have done it once before, but I was really drunk.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Told you. Oh.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37Mondays are early closing,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40so Robin's organised a round of golf to make sure Carl feels
0:35:40 > 0:35:43part of the team and stays motivated while he's away.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Well, that's not bad.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55It's not.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57There we go. How about that?
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- Was that a hole in one, Carl? - Yeah.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Thanks very much for taking us here today.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Honestly, the furthest I've been away from sunny old Warrington really.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12- Yeah.- And I think since I've been,
0:36:12 > 0:36:16since I've been down here, Warrington for me
0:36:16 > 0:36:19to put it bluntly is a dead end street, do you know what I mean?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22There's nothing going for me. Just, there's no work.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25And even though I've got friends and family, you know what?
0:36:25 > 0:36:27I've got given motivation.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30There's actually nowhere, there's no avenue for me to do it.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Have I told you I was homeless?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- No.- I was homeless for three years.
0:36:35 > 0:36:40At night shelters, homeless hostels, I slept rough on the Bank Park.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42I mean, that's why, you know it sounds,
0:36:42 > 0:36:45messing around with my hair a lot of the time, Robin?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48I think I developed like some comfort in like trying to
0:36:48 > 0:36:49look immaculate.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Trying to look clean when I was going through that.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Stuff like that, yeah. So it's a dark place.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57I mean, I always I get emotional
0:36:57 > 0:37:00when I talk about it cos such, it was somewhere I never wanted to be.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03I don't think I deserved to be there but I was just there
0:37:03 > 0:37:05and that was it, do you know what I mean?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07You got judged and you got treated differently
0:37:07 > 0:37:10and just basically it was horrible.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Do you know what I mean? And now since I've been down here it's like,
0:37:13 > 0:37:15it looks like a new world really.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18And, like, it's all down to you really, Robin, like, giving me
0:37:18 > 0:37:19this chance really.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22And you as well. I mean, I can't, I can't fault you.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23You know? You're good.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28It is a hard world out there at the moment, and everybody needs a chance
0:37:28 > 0:37:33and I think it's very difficult for youngsters today in the job place.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Certainly.- Getting apprenticeships and things like that.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39It's not out there. It's not easy for them.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43If I was to have this job and have this life,
0:37:43 > 0:37:46and work down here, you're basically giving me
0:37:46 > 0:37:48a life rather than existing.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52That's why I done it, and I'm very pleased that I did.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Yeah, you should be. So, shall we crack a few more?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Yeah, yes, let's get rid of some of these balls.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Get rid of this frog in my throat.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08While one trainee makes the most of his opportunity,
0:38:08 > 0:38:10another has just thrown his away.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in myself more
0:38:15 > 0:38:19than I am now, but I just keep messing up.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22I don't know what's wrong with me.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Working at the fish store, I was disappointed at first
0:38:25 > 0:38:27and then I really started liking it.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28Then I just loved it.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32As Remus packs, the others arrive back from work
0:38:32 > 0:38:34unaware of the day's events.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39I feel a bit lost and confused as well.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Don't really know where my life is going.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44Just a sad day, man.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51I'm out of here, guys.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Why?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Cos my time's up.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Have you been fired?
0:38:56 > 0:38:59They didn't give me that second chance that I wanted.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Oh, my God. I'm such a fucking mess. Fuck off.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Hey, man, look, listen... You're not going back tonight?
0:39:05 > 0:39:06Yeah, right now.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08I'm going to weep.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- Remus is not leaving me! - Have a good birthday.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- I'm going to miss you. I will. - I'm going to miss you too.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20You too, man. I'm so glad I've met you all.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22You're all so nice.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Hello, Mum. I'm on my way home.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39'Are you really?'
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- Yeah. - 'Why? Have you got the sack?'
0:39:42 > 0:39:43I got the sack.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48'Why did you get the sack? For not turning up to work?'
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Yeah.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53'Oh, dear. I don't know, Remus.'
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- I love you. - 'Love you too. Bye.'- Bye.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03I can't believe he's gone. Honestly, can't believe he's gone.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07I'm sure he's going to be disappointed about this
0:40:07 > 0:40:09for a long time.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11You'll see people doing the big dramatics now and that
0:40:11 > 0:40:14cos they miss him and stuff, you know?
0:40:14 > 0:40:15But I'm more interested in...
0:40:15 > 0:40:18I've got a curry, and the football's on later,
0:40:18 > 0:40:20so life goes on, doesn't it?
0:40:20 > 0:40:23I'm worried about people leaving cos that's one of my best friends gone now,
0:40:23 > 0:40:26so I think we all need to learn something from this.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28That we all need to fix up with our jobs
0:40:28 > 0:40:31and make sure we're on time cos it could happen to anyone.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Next morning, and our workforce hit Christchurch with renewed vigour.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41They'll soon be having their weekly appraisal,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44when their mentors will review their performance.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46If they do well they could be on their way
0:40:46 > 0:40:47to landing a full-time job.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Do badly, and like Remus, the chance of a new life
0:40:50 > 0:40:52and career will be over.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Back at the house though, Deneka doesn't look like she's
0:40:55 > 0:40:57taking her own advice from the evening before.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58I'm not going to go into work today
0:40:58 > 0:41:00cos I feel really sick from yesterday.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02And I genuinely am ill.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09Just got a message from Deneka that she won't be in today.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Really, she should have phoned before nine o'clock.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15I'm a bit concerned for Deneka.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19I think each time somebody goes, it rocks her boat.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28I've been in a fucking worse position than this.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31At the butcher's, it's Carl's second day without mentor Robin
0:41:31 > 0:41:32and he's struggling.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36I'm missing Robin a little bit.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Missing his calming influence in the shop.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- There's a bit of a bulge. - There's a giant joint there.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44John, when he's showing me stuff, he's watching you
0:41:44 > 0:41:47and he's pestering around you and he's too close.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Turn it around this way.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51I want supervision, I need supervision.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53I'm not good enough on my own, but you know, there's
0:41:53 > 0:41:57a difference between supervising and baby-sitting, I think.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00He looks anxious and it passes onto myself and I get frustrated
0:42:00 > 0:42:02when I'm anxious. I'm pissed off now.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Fucking panicking over which way to cut this and that.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Just fuck off. Leave me alone, yeah?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Please, just leave me alone with shit like that.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Yeah, I think you definitely killed this one.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21- It went a bit bitty today. - A bit bitty, yeah.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23It was difficult to find him jobs to do
0:42:23 > 0:42:26because he needed to be shown how to do it and we were a bit busy at the
0:42:26 > 0:42:28front and those pigs...
0:42:28 > 0:42:31He was having a bit of difficulty scoring
0:42:31 > 0:42:35up but it's just knowing how to handle the knife in a certain way.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39It's going to take a while for him to sort of learn.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40Carl's had a hard day,
0:42:40 > 0:42:43but it might not be all down to missing his mentor.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46Not going to lie, the house is getting to me a little bit.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Getting quite frustrated.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51I think...
0:42:51 > 0:42:53I've brought it into work with me.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55I don't know, I'm just...
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Just feel a bit cheesed off by it all.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02I've cooked a Sunday roast to make it feel like home.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Basically, Remus said,
0:43:04 > 0:43:07"Let's make a concerted effort and wash our own gear."
0:43:07 > 0:43:10And they've been nodding their heads and thinking, "Fuck you,"
0:43:10 > 0:43:12under their breaths.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15And they've gone in there, not even scraped the plate,
0:43:15 > 0:43:17just thrown it on the side.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21I don't know if you can tell, but I'm dreading going home.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29Number one, I'm ill.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31Number two, the reason I'm probably ill is
0:43:31 > 0:43:34cos people don't know how to wash their fucking things properly.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36And number three, I know the two culprits.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38They're going to get an earful of abuse.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41Back at the house, Deneka's been off sick all day.
0:43:41 > 0:43:42She's not been resting though -
0:43:42 > 0:43:45the mess has been sending her into a frenzy.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47Clean up after yourself.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50No-one is a parent. Simple as.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52Fucking tramps.
0:43:52 > 0:43:53Look, what's this about?
0:43:53 > 0:43:56That is one thing I can't deal with. Bits in a sink.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58It knocks me sick.
0:43:59 > 0:44:00Ugh.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06For three weeks I've kept my mouth shut. Three fucking weeks today.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07No, no, no, no.
0:44:07 > 0:44:11With Deneka in full swing, in walk James and Rachel.
0:44:11 > 0:44:12Time to take cover.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15And you and James need to clean your shit.
0:44:15 > 0:44:16I what?
0:44:16 > 0:44:19You and you, you need to clean your shit. It's disgusting.
0:44:19 > 0:44:20Don't tell me it's not you
0:44:20 > 0:44:23because there's pasta stains all over the place.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27- Oh, bollocks. - What's this? Right, some chat shit.
0:44:27 > 0:44:29And do you know what else you left?
0:44:29 > 0:44:32You left your fucking mouldy shit in the fridge.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34And if I ever get ill again, I'm going to start spinning heads.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37Get me out of this house. I'm going home. I want to go home.
0:44:37 > 0:44:41No wonder it fucking smells like shit in this house.
0:44:41 > 0:44:42Go girl. Go girl.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45- I do clean my own shit up. - Clean your shit.
0:44:45 > 0:44:47Cos I live on my own pretty much all the time,
0:44:47 > 0:44:48and I clean my shite up all the time.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50Whoever it is just admit it.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52I know exactly who it is. I know exactly who it is.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55Leaving mouldy shit in the fridge, so it's in your room.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57It's in your room. It's in your room.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59If you want to get ill stay in your room,
0:44:59 > 0:45:01and do you know what? You need your own plate.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03CARL: The reason why I bounced downstairs is
0:45:03 > 0:45:06I don't like a raised voice out of a woman, do you know what I mean?
0:45:06 > 0:45:09I come home and Deneka's upset about the state of the kitchen
0:45:09 > 0:45:10and the dishes and stuff like that.
0:45:10 > 0:45:13To be fair, like, that is disgusting.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15It's just a bit much, to be honest.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19Fucking now. I'm going to fuck him up.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22CARL: This isn't right. Is it?
0:45:22 > 0:45:26Carl, walking around in a bobble hat. It's all right, bro.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30What a happy household we all live in.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38Next morning, Carl's first up
0:45:38 > 0:45:41and finds the kitchen looking much the same.
0:45:41 > 0:45:45Watch this. Just for example. What's that?
0:45:45 > 0:45:48Why is that lying there for everybody else to see?
0:45:48 > 0:45:50Do you know what I mean? Somebody else can't use that now
0:45:50 > 0:45:53and a lot of people are expecting other people to look after them.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55I don't know if it's cos they've been molly-coddled
0:45:55 > 0:45:59by their mothers or whether they're just not hygienic people themselves.
0:45:59 > 0:46:02I mean, some people's mothers might be unclean.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07As most of the apprentices side-step the mess in the kitchen
0:46:07 > 0:46:11and head off to work, one of them has completely missed her alarm.
0:46:11 > 0:46:12Rachel...
0:46:12 > 0:46:13I overslept again.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16..who works in the garden centre.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18And her mentor Julie is not happy.
0:46:18 > 0:46:25This morning, I had a phone call at quarter to nine from Rachel to
0:46:25 > 0:46:29say that she would be late in as her shirt wasn't dry yet.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31She's given me chance after chance, and I told her it wasn't
0:46:31 > 0:46:34going to happen again and it's happened again.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36I just feel like I'm letting her down, and I hate it.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39There's a couple of times when she's been late in.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43We do expect staff to be in the department ready to work
0:46:43 > 0:46:46at their start time and if you don't have enough uniform or need to wash
0:46:46 > 0:46:50it then you know that there is spare and it's up to you to sort it out.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52Nearly, nearly there.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55She said, "I'll make up any time that I should have done."
0:46:55 > 0:46:58She said before that she would work a Saturday when she couldn't
0:46:58 > 0:47:02work a week day and then she phoned in sick so she couldn't do it.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08One place where there is harmony today is Mudeford Quay.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12With Adam having done so well driving the boat,
0:47:12 > 0:47:16Paul's decided it's time for him to have a go at being skipper.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18You tell me what you want me to do.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21- Let go of the back line. - Shall I put the chain over?
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Oh, yeah, my bad. Put the chain over, Paul.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28OK, Adam. One click ahead.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34Adam's coming on leaps and bounds and his attitude's definitely
0:47:34 > 0:47:37better, and we're getting on all right. We're getting on well.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39I feel well proud of myself.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42You can see a lot of trust coming between me and Paul now.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44Like we are really all right with each other.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46And you can increase to ten on the revs.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48So as their relationship strengthens,
0:47:48 > 0:47:52Paul takes more of an interest in Adam's past.
0:47:52 > 0:47:54What's it like growing up in Nottingham?
0:47:54 > 0:47:58Back in the day, I did have a couple of problems
0:47:58 > 0:48:00but you get involved in the wrong people,
0:48:00 > 0:48:02then it's hard to get back out of it, to be honest.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04That's how it works.
0:48:04 > 0:48:09So what differences do you find between Nottingham and Mudeford.
0:48:09 > 0:48:13It is one big difference. A massive difference being down here.
0:48:13 > 0:48:14You don't walk out your door
0:48:14 > 0:48:17and all you see is gangs hanging around all the corners.
0:48:17 > 0:48:18You don't see a group of lads.
0:48:18 > 0:48:23You don't smell weed getting blown around all the time. It's nice.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26It's just relaxing. I feel like I can walk around.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Not have to keep eyes in the back of my head.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30Not have to keep my guard up.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33Not to be prepared if anything kicks off.
0:48:34 > 0:48:39Where he's come from there must be some kind of pecking order.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41Almost the alpha male syndrome.
0:48:41 > 0:48:46So he's moderated his ways and I think we're working well as a team.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48We really are. Credit to Adam.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52You're embarrassing me now.
0:48:55 > 0:48:56That was, um...
0:48:56 > 0:48:59I don't think I could do any better myself.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02- Not bad.- Well done. Well done, Adam. Well done.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Adam has come a long way but he's still struggling to
0:49:08 > 0:49:12completely escape his old inner-city life in Nottingham.
0:49:12 > 0:49:16He's had some shocking news and needs a favour from his mentor.
0:49:16 > 0:49:19If it's possible, like, if I could have this weekend off.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22I've got to go back to Nottingham as one of my friends got
0:49:22 > 0:49:24killed in a stabbing.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27- Oh. Oh, dear. - So I've got a funeral on Saturday.
0:49:27 > 0:49:31How are you so calm about, about something that happens like that?
0:49:31 > 0:49:33I mean...
0:49:33 > 0:49:36I've had quite a few mates either killed or
0:49:36 > 0:49:39died on me, so it's something that I've just built
0:49:39 > 0:49:42myself up now, just to think, "Right..."
0:49:42 > 0:49:45Like, for the first couple of days I am normally quite down
0:49:45 > 0:49:49but after that it's just, it's kind of a natural thing.
0:49:49 > 0:49:53- So this isn't the first time then? - No, I've had a couple this year.
0:49:53 > 0:49:57Couple last year through, like, gang violence. Happens every year.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00You've been close to drama yourself, have you?
0:50:00 > 0:50:02Yeah, I've been close to drama. I've been stabbed.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05I got a couple of other things happen to me.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08I should be either six foot under or in prison by now.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Well, I'm sorry to hear about your friend
0:50:10 > 0:50:13and why don't you try to get up north on Friday?
0:50:13 > 0:50:14Yeah, if that's possible?
0:50:14 > 0:50:16Yeah, have a long weekend of it. Absolutely.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21So while Adam contemplates the trip home to Nottingham,
0:50:21 > 0:50:24at the hairdresser's Deneka has been at work all morning.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Is the water OK for you?
0:50:26 > 0:50:29But she's still not happy with the state of the house.
0:50:29 > 0:50:32It still looks the same this morning so I'm on the verge of leaving
0:50:32 > 0:50:33and going home.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37The only thing that's keeping me going is my job, really and truly.
0:50:37 > 0:50:39You can be as rough as you like.
0:50:41 > 0:50:43Would you like to go and take a seat?
0:50:43 > 0:50:44I think she's a survivor.
0:50:44 > 0:50:48There are survivors in this world and I think she's one of them.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50No matter what life kicks at her,
0:50:50 > 0:50:53she's going to kick it straight back again.
0:50:53 > 0:50:54And I like that in her.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00Rachel has eventually made it into work at the garden centre,
0:51:00 > 0:51:02but she's over an hour late.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07Ah, morning, Rachel.
0:51:07 > 0:51:08- Morning.- Are you all right?
0:51:10 > 0:51:12I'm sorry about being late.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15You need to remember that we've got spare uniform here.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18Yeah, I know. I had a look through it the other day and they're all,
0:51:18 > 0:51:21- all the shirts are quite small. - Right, well can you see Debbie today
0:51:21 > 0:51:23- and ask her to give you another shirt?- I will do, yeah.
0:51:23 > 0:51:27- That way you've got time to get it dry before you come back in. - Yeah. I will do. Yeah.- All right?
0:51:27 > 0:51:31Cos you could have come in in a shirt and we could've got one when you got here.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34- Yeah.- Yes?- Yeah. I am sorry about that.- OK, let's...
0:51:34 > 0:51:37I've brought some biccies and stuff in for tea as well.
0:51:37 > 0:51:41Right. That won't do us any good whatsoever.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43I find it frustrating cos she can be really quite good.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47I know she finds some of it boring and that she's going to have
0:51:47 > 0:51:49to deal with herself and decide whether this is the type
0:51:49 > 0:51:52of work that she wants to do, because that isn't going to change.
0:51:52 > 0:51:56- You've done the baskets before, haven't you?- I have, yeah. - They just need dead-heading.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58It just comes and goes, like,
0:51:58 > 0:52:01when I'm having a rough day or I've, I've had a rough start to the day.
0:52:01 > 0:52:05I come in and I'm just like, "I cannot be bothered today."
0:52:05 > 0:52:08And everything that I'm asked to do is just... My mind goes,
0:52:08 > 0:52:10"Tedious. Boring. Don't want to do it."
0:52:16 > 0:52:18It's Friday morning in Christchurch
0:52:18 > 0:52:21and as Adam heads off to his home town Nottingham to attend
0:52:21 > 0:52:24a friend's funeral, it's end of the week appraisals for our trainees.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28The day they find out how they're doing and if they still have a job.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31That's £18.30 then, please, my lovely.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33It's been another good week for Renee at the wool shop.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36I think you're doing very well. I'm very pleased with you.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38And for Ellie at the solicitors.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40That's a great job.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42At the salon, Deneka's had a hard week.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45She's been off sick and her mind has been distracted by the events
0:52:45 > 0:52:47of the house, but her job has seen her through.
0:52:49 > 0:52:51- I am really pleased with you. - Thank you.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53I think you're quite bright.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55Oh. Nice to hear.
0:52:55 > 0:52:57You are.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59I'm a bit concerned about you in the house,
0:52:59 > 0:53:02cos I don't think you're very happy there, are you?
0:53:02 > 0:53:03- Not really.- No.
0:53:03 > 0:53:04But I think it might be nice for you
0:53:04 > 0:53:06- to have a break from that house. - Yeah.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09Either Monday or Wednesday,
0:53:09 > 0:53:12I'd like to take you home with me.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14Oh!
0:53:15 > 0:53:17I think you could do with a break.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20Oh, I'll come round. That will be good.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22It might give you something to look forward to.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24- Bit of a break. - Yes, a break from all of them.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27- Oh, thank you.- That's all right.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30Rachel's been late on several mornings recently at the garden
0:53:30 > 0:53:33centre and she's worried about her appraisal with mentor Julie.
0:53:33 > 0:53:36This week, I want to talk to Rachel,
0:53:36 > 0:53:40just to remind her about her time attendance.
0:53:40 > 0:53:45We have an electronic system and so I just want to show her what
0:53:45 > 0:53:51we have recorded so that she's aware that we know what time she's
0:53:51 > 0:53:52turning up for work.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55Every month we do time-sheets so of course I look at the start
0:53:55 > 0:53:56and finish times.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58- Yeah.- So I have to show you yours.
0:53:58 > 0:54:01- So the majority you're here on time. - Yeah.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04But you just need to be aware that it's...
0:54:04 > 0:54:05There are a couple.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08I've slumped a little bit and was like, "Oh, God."
0:54:08 > 0:54:12After initially struggling when his mentor Robin went on holiday,
0:54:12 > 0:54:14Carl's settling back into his work.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17I'm actually good at something.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23This week, it's down to Mark and John to conduct his appraisal
0:54:23 > 0:54:26and tell him what they'll be reporting back to mentor Robin.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28So do you feel happy today? Cos you were a bit...
0:54:28 > 0:54:32Yeah, I mean the house. It's been playing on my mind.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34I got a bit arsey with you when we was doing that hog.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36I don't know why. It just pissed me off.
0:54:36 > 0:54:40Something. Head wasn't with it, do you know what I mean? My head was elsewhere.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42And have you felt like you're baby-sitting me anyway?
0:54:42 > 0:54:45We left you to it today, and you just got on and done it.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48I meant to thank you before you went, cos you were a help yesterday.
0:54:48 > 0:54:49Really? Oh, well that's good.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52At least I know that I'm helping and I'm of value. Do you know what I mean?
0:54:52 > 0:54:55- I don't want to come in and be a burden.- No, you're not.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58You've picked things up quite good if you ask me.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00So if Robin called tomorrow it would be good news.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02Yeah, of course it would.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04- Definitely.- Yeah, oh, yeah.
0:55:04 > 0:55:07So after a difficult week in the house and at work,
0:55:07 > 0:55:09this is a great result for Carl.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12Touch wood - everything seems to be going OK.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15I started thinking the other day a few of the housemates have
0:55:15 > 0:55:16gone home.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18Some were sacked. Some have quit.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23I can't really get my head around joining that dole queue
0:55:23 > 0:55:26again in Warrington. Do you know what I mean? It just seems like...
0:55:26 > 0:55:28It seems so far away from where I'm at now.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31I've got friends and I'm eating loads of nice food
0:55:31 > 0:55:33and that with the butchers and stuff.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36It just seems a million miles away to be sat watching daytime
0:55:36 > 0:55:39television and feeling sorry for myself, you know?
0:55:41 > 0:55:44In Nottingham, Adam prepares for his friend's funeral.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47Being back at home has got him thinking about his past
0:55:47 > 0:55:49and how positive his future's looking.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52Being up in Nottingham it's trouble 24/7.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55It's just sirens going off all the time.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58It is a bad area like. Been stabbed. It's what happens
0:55:58 > 0:56:01when you get yourself involved in like certain people, innit?
0:56:01 > 0:56:03That's why you have to put a bit of an act on.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06That's why I think like me and Paul had a bit of a bumpy start,
0:56:06 > 0:56:08because I still had my guard up
0:56:08 > 0:56:10and I thought I ain't taking no shit from nobody.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12Being down in Christchurch, I still sit there some nights
0:56:12 > 0:56:15and just think to myself, "Wow, I'm a lucky person."
0:56:15 > 0:56:17I've got myself away from it.
0:56:17 > 0:56:20I got myself out of it and I've just started a fresh life
0:56:20 > 0:56:21without all them people.
0:56:21 > 0:56:24I've been with them all today doing what we used to do,
0:56:24 > 0:56:28like getting drunk, partying, celebrating.
0:56:28 > 0:56:30That's what we are there to do, innit?
0:56:30 > 0:56:33But I can't come back and do this. I'm down in Christchurch working.
0:56:33 > 0:56:35It's going to be like people are going to look
0:56:35 > 0:56:38and go, "He's doing something good with his life at least."
0:56:39 > 0:56:43Next time, two new trainees arrive in Christchurch.
0:56:43 > 0:56:45Hello!
0:56:45 > 0:56:47Oh, my fucking God!
0:56:47 > 0:56:49The strain of work takes its toll.
0:56:49 > 0:56:52I feel ill. I did throw up a little bit but
0:56:52 > 0:56:54that's probably just from exhaustion.
0:56:54 > 0:56:56And romance blossoms.
0:56:56 > 0:56:58Thank you. Thanks for the night, yeah?
0:56:58 > 0:56:59You're welcome.
