:00:00. > :00:10.THIS PROGRAMME CONTAINS SOME STRONG LANGUAGE.
:00:11. > :00:16.Christchurch. A small town on the south coast of England, where a
:00:17. > :00:18.third of the population is over 60. It's the ultimate pensioners'
:00:19. > :00:22.paradise, but now the town has opened its gates to a swam of young
:00:23. > :00:25.job-seekers to work in their old-fashioned businesses. All the
:00:26. > :00:31.butchers that I know are all getting old now. This trade needs new blood.
:00:32. > :00:34.Senior employers have offered eight weeks' work experience, and for
:00:35. > :00:37.those that impress, the chance of a permanent job. In exchange, the town
:00:38. > :00:44.will receive an injection of new blood. Lovely to meet you. Hello.
:00:45. > :00:47.Hello. Nice to meet you. The invasion has begun as 11 young
:00:48. > :00:50.people have been selected to live together...
:00:51. > :00:55.THEY LAUGH. ..and work across nine local
:00:56. > :01:01.businesses, from a fish stall... Hold it by his back. ..to the local
:01:02. > :01:06.butchers. My little mate. There are the hairs on his chinny chin chin.
:01:07. > :01:09.The bosses review the trainees' work with weekly appraisals. That's very
:01:10. > :01:15.good, Renee. Absolutely. Other people's perceptions. HE BURPS.
:01:16. > :01:19.And those that don't come up to scratch could face the sack. I
:01:20. > :01:21.really, really want it, man, and that is an absolute life-changing
:01:22. > :01:24.situation. Coming up, as two new trainees
:01:25. > :01:29.arrive in Christchurch... Hiya!
:01:30. > :01:33.THEY SCREAM. Oh, my God!
:01:34. > :01:35...people start to buckle under the strain of work...
:01:36. > :01:39.I'm not happy. The novelty's definitely wearing off, you know? I
:01:40. > :01:42.did throw up a little bit, but that's probably just from
:01:43. > :01:45.exhaustion. ..and love is in the air.
:01:46. > :01:47.Shall we go out on a date, me and you?
:01:48. > :01:49.SHE LAUGHS. Cheers. Let's hope this one goes well.
:01:50. > :01:56.Thank you. Last time, following a series of
:01:57. > :02:02.late arrivals... I really am so sorry. Third time
:02:03. > :02:05.now. ..and two no-shows, with ever more bizarre excuses...
:02:06. > :02:08.What a lame, feeble excuse. There's no hot water.
:02:09. > :02:13...Remus was eventually dismissed from the fish shop. I'm so
:02:14. > :02:17.disappointed in myself. After an early blunder... I've
:02:18. > :02:19.literally just woken up about ten minutes ago.
:02:20. > :02:23...Carl had been doing well at the butcher's.
:02:24. > :02:26.I think he learnt his lesson last week. But he became frustrated when
:02:27. > :02:29.his mentor Robin went on holiday. I'm missing Robin a little bit.
:02:30. > :02:36.I'm missing his, like, calming influence in the shop. Joint there.
:02:37. > :02:39.John, when he's showing me stuff, he's watching you and he's pestering
:02:40. > :02:42.around you and he's too close. Please just leave me alone, sheet
:02:43. > :02:45.like that. 20-year-old trainee hairdresser
:02:46. > :02:54.Deneka became infuriated with the mess at the house. Clean up after
:02:55. > :02:59.yourself. No-one is a parent. Simple as. I know the two culprits. When
:03:00. > :03:03.they get in, they're going to get an earful of abuse. I do clean my own
:03:04. > :03:07.chit up. Get me out of this house. I'm going home. The only thing
:03:08. > :03:10.that's keeping me going is my job, really and truly. Picks things up
:03:11. > :03:13.nice and quickly. Quite sharp, really, aren't you? And mentor Irene
:03:14. > :03:17.was so impressed she offered Deneka some respite from her housemates.
:03:18. > :03:19.I'd like to take you home with me. Aww. I think you could do with a
:03:20. > :03:24.break. Oh, I'll come round.
:03:25. > :03:31.It's Sunday afternoon in Christchurch. The apprentices are
:03:32. > :03:37.now over halfway through their eight-week placements. They have the
:03:38. > :03:41.day off today and are relaxing at the house before they head back to
:03:42. > :03:44.work tomorrow. Do you think the atmosphere's changed since Adam's
:03:45. > :03:47.been away? What time is he coming back? At six o'clock. Adam is
:03:48. > :03:50.returning to Christchurch after going home to Nottingham at the
:03:51. > :03:55.weekend for a funeral, but he's not the only arrival expected at the
:03:56. > :03:58.house today. Over the past few weeks, Christian, Glenn and Remus
:03:59. > :04:04.have all headed home as the number of apprentices in Christchurch has
:04:05. > :04:08.gone from 11 to 8. You know what? I can't do this. See you later, man.
:04:09. > :04:15.Step on it. I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go. OK. I'm
:04:16. > :04:19.annoyed with him for messing it up for himself, but at the end of the
:04:20. > :04:23.day his punctuality is bad. So the town's elderly bosses, who
:04:24. > :04:26.met 100 hopefuls eight weeks ago at an open day in Christchurch, have
:04:27. > :04:35.decided to offer work experience to two new extra people. Hi.
:04:36. > :04:37.18-year-old daddy's girl Amber arrives in Christchurch with
:04:38. > :04:44.25-year-old single dad Sean from Liverpool. They'll find out what
:04:45. > :04:48.their new work placements are when they arrive at the house. What kind
:04:49. > :04:52.of job are you hoping for? Um, I'm not really, like, fussed what I do,
:04:53. > :04:54.but as long as it's just not with old people.
:04:55. > :05:01.# You better work, bitch. # Now get to work, bitch...
:05:02. > :05:07.#. I've been unemployed since I left school. There's hardly any jobs in
:05:08. > :05:10.Slough. I've applied for so many jobs. Done college and got
:05:11. > :05:13.qualifications. The only thing they always say to me is, "You have no
:05:14. > :05:15.experience," but yet nobody gives me experience so it's just like a
:05:16. > :05:21.vicious circle. # You better work, bitch... #.
:05:22. > :05:25.I do have ambition to work, but I think these days it's about who you
:05:26. > :05:28.know, not what you know. I'd say my work experience with the elderly did
:05:29. > :05:30.traumatise me a little bit. I've been like pooed on, sicked on.
:05:31. > :05:38.People have died on me. I would say I'm a daddy's girl. He's
:05:39. > :05:45.always there when I need him, like, emotionally, and the money side as
:05:46. > :05:56.well. He bought me a car last week, actually. Nice. I'd like a job cos I
:05:57. > :06:01.can't rely on my dad for the rest of my life. I can't be 30 living at
:06:02. > :06:01.home and still asking my dad for money. That's embarrassing.
:06:02. > :06:22.WITHIN: I'll get the door. Hiya!
:06:23. > :06:24.THEY SCREAM. Ah! It's you! All of the trainees originally met at the
:06:25. > :06:30.interview open day. THEY SCREAM AND LAUGH.
:06:31. > :06:33.Once the hellos are out of the way it's time to discuss work. What's
:06:34. > :06:36.your dream job then, Sean? Anything at the moment. I'm the butcher,
:06:37. > :06:39.anyways. The butcher! I'm the Christchurch butcher, yeah. I'll be
:06:40. > :06:43.happy with anything, as long as I can work hard. I'm from Liverpool
:06:44. > :06:46.and I live in West Derby, slash Tuebrook. I've been unemployed for
:06:47. > :06:52.the past four years. It's definitely had its up and downs. More downs
:06:53. > :06:57.than ups. There's nothing in Liverpool job-wise and I need a job.
:06:58. > :07:04.You could sit there all day job searching and if you get a reply
:07:05. > :07:08.even to say no, then you're lucky. Having a job now would mean the
:07:09. > :07:11.world to me, but people judge me on appearance. I'm unemployed and, you
:07:12. > :07:15.know, I'm a big guy. First thought that most people probably think is,
:07:16. > :07:20."Well, he's sat on his cars for four years and not even tried," but it's
:07:21. > :07:25.not so. I live with my mum and my dad, my little sister and my little
:07:26. > :07:30.girl, Katy. She's eight years old. I was 17 when she was born. Obviously,
:07:31. > :07:34.a 17-year-old, I wasn't planning on being a father, but, you know, I
:07:35. > :07:41.couldn't imagine my life without her now. I'm doing this, all this for
:07:42. > :07:46.her so she can have a better future. The new arrivals have been left
:07:47. > :07:50.letters from their new bosses. This is the first time they'll find out
:07:51. > :07:54.what job they'll be doing. What is it? For Sean, there's a new business
:07:55. > :07:59.in Christchurch providing work experience. The Dorset Smokery. Oh,
:08:00. > :08:01.that's good. Yeah, yeah. "You will explain the delight of traditional
:08:02. > :08:05.food processing." Oh, smoking like bacon and that. Can you smoke bacon?
:08:06. > :08:13.I thought you could only smoke tobacco. Smoky bacon. Amber. Amber
:08:14. > :08:17.is filling the vacancy left after Remus was sacked. It says, "To
:08:18. > :08:22.Amber, "we look forward to seeing you at 9am Monday at the fish
:08:23. > :08:28.stall." You're going to have to gut them, squeeze their eyes out. Oh!
:08:29. > :08:34.LAUGHTER. It's not every girl's dream job, is it, really? No, but
:08:35. > :08:37.it's experience. It's been a long time since I've worked, so
:08:38. > :08:42.definitely need just to do something a bit random and just get out there
:08:43. > :08:48.and say, "Here I am. Give me a job." I hate fish! I can't even eat a fish
:08:49. > :08:53.finger, like, the smell of it makes me gag. How am I going to work with
:08:54. > :09:02.fish, like, their eyes staring at... I don't know how I'm going to do it.
:09:03. > :09:10.It's Monday morning. HE GROANS.
:09:11. > :09:16.It's seven o'clock now. I should've been in half an hour ago. I hate
:09:17. > :09:19.getting up early. Carl's mentor Robin is away on
:09:20. > :09:23.holiday this week, leaving John and Mark in charge. They will do Carl's
:09:24. > :09:29.appraisal and feedback his progress to his boss when he returns. If
:09:30. > :09:33.you're not straight in the morning you're in a mess all day. In the
:09:34. > :09:35.morning you've got to be here. So he's not doing himself any favours,
:09:36. > :09:39.is he? This isn't the first time Carl's
:09:40. > :09:43.been late. At the start of week two, he turned up for work five hours
:09:44. > :09:48.after he was due to clock on. Hello, Robin. I'm really, really sorry.
:09:49. > :09:54.I've literally just woken up about ten minutes ago. So he's putting his
:09:55. > :10:06.job at risk by turning up late again.
:10:07. > :10:21.That is an important thing, though, getting up, innit? Yeah, get going.
:10:22. > :10:40.Not the best start to the week, is it?
:10:41. > :10:46.Bit frustrated that my commitment's been pulled into question for being
:10:47. > :10:49.late. I mean, I was an hour late. It is Monday morning, but they
:10:50. > :10:54.questioned my commitment and I'm a bit upset about it. In a sense I'd
:10:55. > :10:58.say it was a blessing that Robin's not in, really. I don't know, I
:10:59. > :11:09.think he would have been a little bit more disappointed than the lads,
:11:10. > :11:12.you know what I mean? As Carl sheepishly gets to work, the rest of
:11:13. > :11:17.the trainees are starting their new working week. I can't be dance!
:11:18. > :11:22.Thank you very much. Have a good day. Adam would usually be heading
:11:23. > :11:26.to Mudeford Quay to work on the ferry, but today he's been told by
:11:27. > :11:32.his boss Paul to head to the boat yard. As the summer season comes to
:11:33. > :11:37.a close, boats are put in the dry dock during the week for essential
:11:38. > :11:42.maintenance. So, Adam, when you got back to the house last night, was it
:11:43. > :11:45.a bit strange getting back? Strange weren't the bloody word. Walked in,
:11:46. > :11:50.there's two new people sat in the living room. Oh, no. And I thought,
:11:51. > :11:54.eh? I was looking at them and thinking, "So, who are you lot?"
:11:55. > :11:58.One's come in to do the fish stall and the other one's come for, I
:11:59. > :12:01.don't know, some smoked ham shop or something. As Adam discusses the new
:12:02. > :12:05.apprentices, on the other side of town, one of them is about to start
:12:06. > :12:10.work for the first time in four years. 25-year-old Sean from
:12:11. > :12:13.Liverpool will be working at the Dorset Smokery, an award-winning
:12:14. > :12:19.smokehouse on the outskirts of Christchurch. Sean will be mentored
:12:20. > :12:25.by the owner of the business, 69-year-old Todd Sadler. We're very
:12:26. > :12:29.small. We make pates, we make sausages, we produce bacon and I'm a
:12:30. > :12:35.firm believer in trying to train people up. And then, if they come up
:12:36. > :12:40.to scratch, probably offer them a job. I'm easy-going until I'm pushed
:12:41. > :12:53.over that particular line and it comes down like a guillotine. Nice
:12:54. > :12:59.to see you, mate. You all right? Aye, you? Good, OK. For his first
:13:00. > :13:02.morning, Todd has left Sean in the capable hands of manager Marcus.
:13:03. > :13:06.He's been working at the smokery for 14 years, and will be showing Sean
:13:07. > :13:09.the ropes on his first day. There's nothing we would ask you to do that
:13:10. > :13:13.we wouldn't do ourselves, so don't think you're going to come here and
:13:14. > :13:17.have all the worst jobs. It's a hands-on job, and Marcus wants to
:13:18. > :13:21.make sure that Sean is up to it, so he gets him straight to work making
:13:22. > :13:25.liver pate. These are pigs' livers. Heavy, isn't it? It is heavy. I do
:13:26. > :13:29.have a nose. Kind of wishing I didn't. I was confused, to be
:13:30. > :13:33.honest. I was like, what the hell am I doing? Cos I'd never really ever
:13:34. > :13:37.smoked in my mind. The meat just comes smoked, and that was that.
:13:38. > :13:45.Looks like we've brutally murdered someone.
:13:46. > :13:50.# Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well.
:13:51. > :13:53.# Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well... #.
:13:54. > :13:57.As Sean gets to grips with the messy work at the smokery, over at the
:13:58. > :14:03.fish shop, owner Russell is taking on another trainee. 18-year-old
:14:04. > :14:06.daddy's girl Amber from Slough. Remus was really good around here.
:14:07. > :14:09.Gelled with the customers, but ultimately couldn't get to work on
:14:10. > :14:15.time. Hopefully today Amber's going to turn up. Clean, tidy, pleasant
:14:16. > :14:24.appearance. We hope that she's going to be bubbly and gel with the
:14:25. > :14:29.others. Hi. Hiya. You must be Amber. Yeah, you must be Russell. How are
:14:30. > :14:34.you doing? I'm good, thank you. Come in. Bit daunting on the first day.
:14:35. > :14:37.Yeah. You don't know many people. You don't know what to do, but it's
:14:38. > :14:41.quite a friendly environment here. Yeah. Everybody has, you know, we
:14:42. > :14:45.have a laugh. Last night when I found out I was coming to the fish
:14:46. > :14:48.shop I was a bit nervous and scared cos I really don't like fish. Yeah.
:14:49. > :14:52.But I'm open-minded about learning new things, so... Good, so if I give
:14:53. > :14:55.you these. OK. That's everything, that's there, there now. OK. And
:14:56. > :14:59.then, if you... You can either stick them in, right, or just put them,
:15:00. > :15:01.put them there. And then we'll have a little look in a minute and see
:15:02. > :15:12.how you did. OK. All right. Go. Nice kid. Seems polite and not into
:15:13. > :15:17.what we're doing here but willing to learn. I'm actually really surprised
:15:18. > :15:28.I didn't gag, like, cos the smell wasn't that strong, like, but, yeah.
:15:29. > :15:38.Didn't gag. They are so slimy! Done. Wow. That was quick. In fact, you've
:15:39. > :15:43.got them all right. Really well done. Thank you. I'm not sure I'd
:15:44. > :15:50.have done that on my first morning but anyway, well done. I try.
:15:51. > :15:56.Another trainee who impressed her mentor from day one is 21-year-old
:15:57. > :16:00.Renee from Peterborough. For the past few weeks, she's been working
:16:01. > :16:06.at Honora wool shop, a hub for the loyal knitting enthusiasts of the
:16:07. > :16:08.Christchurch community. For a customer this would be a complete
:16:09. > :16:10.sale. Renee's boss and mentor is
:16:11. > :16:14.66-year-old Margaret Adams. She's owned the shop for more than
:16:15. > :16:19.40 years. I'm absolutely delighted with her. I think she's very willing
:16:20. > :16:22.to help. She's friendly. Very good with the customers and actually
:16:23. > :16:27.she's really enthusiastic about her knitting, which obviously is very
:16:28. > :16:36.important. I think she's fitting in very well with us and I'm very
:16:37. > :16:40.happy. Don't fall! If you don't feel a part of the community you won't
:16:41. > :16:44.enjoy it, and the purpose of us being here is obviously to enjoy our
:16:45. > :16:50.experience and meet new people as well, and hopefully at the end of
:16:51. > :16:54.this get a job. I was born in Jamaica. I came to England when I
:16:55. > :17:01.was seven, and I absolutely love God. My Bible's my best friend, and
:17:02. > :17:12.I know that no matter what happens, God is there for me. Not having a
:17:13. > :17:17.job, on one hand it's tough, but on another hand it's made me realise
:17:18. > :17:23.just how much God has done for me. I worked in McDonald's and I worked at
:17:24. > :17:27.Starbucks for two years. I've applied for loads of jobs. Haven't
:17:28. > :17:35.even been given an interview or anything like that. Unfortunately,
:17:36. > :17:39.I'm not giving up my Sundays for a job. I don't care, that job could be
:17:40. > :17:45.paying me millions. I'm not giving up my day for money. It's not worth
:17:46. > :17:51.it in the long run. Go on, you've got to be strong. That's it, that's
:17:52. > :17:54.it. Lovely. Today Margaret has asked Renee to help shop assistant Kate
:17:55. > :17:58.with the window display. What we want is the patterns that go with
:17:59. > :18:05.the garments. Does that look all right, there? It's coming on. Hmm,
:18:06. > :18:13.it's coming on. I actually, I think it needs tweaking, but colour-wise
:18:14. > :18:16.it's looking OK. A few doors away at Jon Terry's hair salon, Deneka and
:18:17. > :18:27.Irene are finishing early for the day. How was your weekend? It was
:18:28. > :18:30.quiet. Quiet. I wanted a quiet weekend. You didn't have any rows
:18:31. > :18:38.over the weekend? No. Oh, amazing. You managed to keep your lips sewn
:18:39. > :18:41.up. Yeah. Did you? Yeah. In a few weeks' time, Irene will have to
:18:42. > :18:47.decide whether to offer Deneka a full-time job at the end of the work
:18:48. > :18:51.placement. In order to get to know her a bit better she's invited her
:18:52. > :18:55.home for dinner, and to meet her retired husband, Cecil. Very
:18:56. > :19:01.quickly, Cecil and Deneka start to discuss work. I want to find a job
:19:02. > :19:05.or an apprenticeship. Difficult. You see the thing is some of these
:19:06. > :19:08.places employ retired people and what have you, because they know
:19:09. > :19:13.that they've gone through a work... More experience. Not experience.
:19:14. > :19:17.It's the work ethics more than the experience. I mean, they employ
:19:18. > :19:22.somebody to stack shelves up. Anybody can do that. They'll put a
:19:23. > :19:26.pensioner to do that because they know that he'll be there at eight
:19:27. > :19:29.o'clock and he'll finish at five, or whatever time. Now, a youngster
:19:30. > :19:32.might just say, "Oh, not really interested in going in work today."
:19:33. > :19:37.What happens? The shop suffers, you see? Sure. But I think at the end of
:19:38. > :19:41.the day, they should actually focus on the young. At the moment,
:19:42. > :19:49.Deneka's my main concern. I want her to get a job and be somebody.
:19:50. > :19:54.Hopefully. No, you will. Yeah. Would you move down here? I would, but...
:19:55. > :19:59.It's difficult, isn't it, cos you don't know anybody. Yeah, and it's
:20:00. > :20:03.really expensive. Is it? Expensive is not the word. I paid ?5 for a
:20:04. > :20:07.Jagerbomb on Saturday and I can get it for ?1.50 in Manchester. For
:20:08. > :20:13.what? For a Jagerbomb. What's that? It's like, say this is the cup. It's
:20:14. > :20:16.like filled with Red Bull and then you fill, do you know them little
:20:17. > :20:22.mini shots, put Jagermeister in it and then just dunk in the cup. Oh,
:20:23. > :20:25.dear. Over at the fish shop, 18-year-old
:20:26. > :20:32.daddy's girl Amber is coming to the end of her first working day. Right
:20:33. > :20:39.at the end I've had to touch them. Lovely. Little bit slimy. Like all
:20:40. > :20:43.the other apprentices, she will have her work reviewed at the end of the
:20:44. > :20:46.week with an appraisal. If she does well, she could be offered a
:20:47. > :20:50.permanent job in four weeks' time. I have really enjoyed my first day
:20:51. > :20:54.at, like, from the beginning I never thought I would but it's opened my
:20:55. > :20:57.mind up and I shouldn't be so negative about, yeah, I don't like
:20:58. > :21:02.fish, but I should be positive about it and look at it in a different way
:21:03. > :21:07.and that I should put all my effort into it. Literally don't throw the
:21:08. > :21:11.bin in. Just move it to the side. There's just one job left for Amber
:21:12. > :21:18.to do before she can go home. Getting rid of the fish guts. Ah!
:21:19. > :21:23.No! SEAGULLS SHRIEK.
:21:24. > :21:28.Oh, that was awful. They all came at me, and I broke a
:21:29. > :21:31.nail as well. Another apprentice finishing their
:21:32. > :21:34.first day is 25-year-old single dad Sean.
:21:35. > :21:44.Sugar? Three, please. Bloody three? I've cut down. Bloody hell, mate.
:21:45. > :21:50.Yeah, true. Cut down to three? I used to have five. God! I haven't
:21:51. > :21:54.done much work, any work, in four years, so, yeah, it's quite, quite a
:21:55. > :21:57.physical job so far. I'll tell you, Sean, when you get onto the cheese,
:21:58. > :22:01.you will use muscles you've never used in your life. I'm telling you
:22:02. > :22:04.mate, honestly. It was a great first day. Great experience. Tiring,
:22:05. > :22:09.exciting, hard work. It was good graft. Hopefully I'll get better at
:22:10. > :22:15.it tomorrow and as the weeks go on, so it should be fun.
:22:16. > :22:22.As Sean packs up for the day, Amber is arriving home. Hello. What up, me
:22:23. > :22:26.darling? Adam, who's also finished work for the day, takes the
:22:27. > :22:30.opportunity to get to know her a little bit better. Enjoy your first
:22:31. > :22:34.day stinking of fish? It wasn't actually that bad. Was it not? No,
:22:35. > :22:38.it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Yeah, it's first day,
:22:39. > :22:42.innit? Wait until it starts kicking in. I need a foot massage. I need a
:22:43. > :22:45.back massage, but chit happens, doesn't it? I'm going to go put my
:22:46. > :22:49.slippers on. Go on, then, famalam. Famalam! OK.
:22:50. > :22:54.Later that evening, all of the trainees are back at home relaxing
:22:55. > :22:57.after work. They're now halfway through their work placements and
:22:58. > :23:00.some of the apprentices are starting to think seriously about whether
:23:01. > :23:05.they could move to Christchurch for good if they're offered a full-time
:23:06. > :23:11.job. Carl, who was late this morning, is unsure about life as a
:23:12. > :23:14.butcher. So, the novelty's definitely wearing off, you know?
:23:15. > :23:20.It's just, you know, washing up, brewing up, Scotch eggs, washing up,
:23:21. > :23:25.brewing up, sausage rolls. I just want to be out a little bit more, do
:23:26. > :23:28.you know what I mean? And have some more free time to myself, cos you
:23:29. > :23:33.know, you work to play, don't you, at the end of the day, and I ain't
:23:34. > :23:37.got no time to play. Sean, who's sharing a room with James, has gone
:23:38. > :23:41.to bed early. How's your day been? I'm knackered and I would like to go
:23:42. > :23:46.to sleep, that's how I'm finding it. Really? Fair enough. Downstairs,
:23:47. > :23:53.Adam is continuing to extend his warm welcome to new girl Amber.
:23:54. > :23:57.MUSIC: "Je T'aime...Moi Non Plus" by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. I
:23:58. > :24:01.gave you my cereal and my milk! 'We have a loved-up couple. Adam and
:24:02. > :24:06.Amber.' They are sort of like really, really cosy with each other.
:24:07. > :24:10.I gave you my cereal! My current status is I'm a nun. I always get
:24:11. > :24:13.referred to as being a Barbie doll, all the time, which is pretty
:24:14. > :24:18.irritating cos I'm not plastic and I'm not fake. Want a chewing gum?
:24:19. > :24:22.'I'd like to think I could change people's perception of me.' Maybe if
:24:23. > :24:25.they got to know what I was about and stuff like that, they might
:24:26. > :24:38.think differently. Do you want a chewing gum?
:24:39. > :24:47.The next day, and Amber heads off to work. Morning! It's her second day,
:24:48. > :24:54.and although she's made it clear she doesn't like fish, she's getting to
:24:55. > :24:59.grips with the products. That way, just to break up that
:25:00. > :25:03.pattern. This way? Yeah. It's a lot to take in, but like over time
:25:04. > :25:07.hopefully I'll remember a bit more each day. At the moment it's like
:25:08. > :25:10.still here, sort of. It's just one of them things. You get taught
:25:11. > :25:14.something that day and you know, it's like doing a driving test.
:25:15. > :25:18.You've got to learn the book, well, you're never going to learn it in
:25:19. > :25:19.one day. Yeah. The more you're here... Yeah, the more I learn.
:25:20. > :25:31.Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Just a hop, skip and a jump away,
:25:32. > :25:34.Adam is on the small ferry. His boss Paul is still carrying out
:25:35. > :25:39.maintenance work at the boat yard, so today Adam is working with his
:25:40. > :25:43.partner, Julie. Paul tells me you've got a couple of new housemates now.
:25:44. > :25:46.Yeah, we've got a lad called Sean that's working in a smoke shop. Oh,
:25:47. > :25:51.OK. Don't know that one. Making food. And a girl called Amber that's
:25:52. > :25:55.in the fish stall. Oh, OK, and what's Amber like, then? I notice
:25:56. > :25:59.you have a little smile on your face. I was...
:26:00. > :26:04.HE LAUGHS. Come on.
:26:05. > :26:10.Tell me all about it. Nothing. Nothing. What? Is she nice? Yeah,
:26:11. > :26:16.she's an all right girl, actually. Yeah, right. OK. So... What's this
:26:17. > :26:19.smile all about? Well, no, you're the one with the smile, which is
:26:20. > :26:23.quite intriguing! Just getting on with my job. Would you say she's a
:26:24. > :26:28.potential date, Adam? I'm giving up. That's a yes. I'm giving up. You've
:26:29. > :26:32.gone all quiet. So why don't you go and ask her? What? A good place you
:26:33. > :26:35.could take her is Christchurch Quay. They've got little put-put boats. I
:26:36. > :26:40.think, OK, you should strike while the iron's hot, so, way to go about
:26:41. > :26:44.it is we need some change, so... Oh, for goodness' sake! I give up in
:26:45. > :26:47.here. I'm not stopping. No, I want to hear more. 'He obviously likes
:26:48. > :26:51.her a lot, which is lovely.' It's like romance in the house. I'm so
:26:52. > :26:57.excited. Adam! Get out of it. Good luck! With Julie's words ringing in
:26:58. > :27:05.his ears, Adam heads over to the fish shop. You all right? Yeah. Can
:27:06. > :27:11.I get some change? What do you want it in? ?5 in ones and the rest in
:27:12. > :27:16.50s. Yeah sure. Had a good day, yeah? Yeah, you? You give me bare
:27:17. > :27:19.change there. Yeah, well, that's what you asked for. Anyway, I'm
:27:20. > :27:25.getting back to work. All right. Same as everybody else should. See
:27:26. > :27:28.you later. Amber's been in the house now for two days, yeah? People are
:27:29. > :27:31.thinking something's going off already. It's nothing like that. I'm
:27:32. > :27:35.not a guy that bounces straight into something. If I have a thing for
:27:36. > :27:40.her, then I'll ask her in my time and in nobody else's, like.
:27:41. > :27:44.As Adam and Amber's romantic relationship remains a work in
:27:45. > :27:45.progress, all over Christchurch the other apprentices are putting in
:27:46. > :28:01.another day's work. Letters. Nothing to do. At Jon
:28:02. > :28:04.Terry's hair salon, despite Irene doing everything to make Deneka feel
:28:05. > :28:07.welcome, her apprentice is starting to question if a job at the
:28:08. > :28:12.hairdresser's is for her. Boring. Bit bored of it now. To make things
:28:13. > :28:19.worse, Deneka has had a call from her landlord up in Manchester. And
:28:20. > :28:22.she's like, "Well, we've received a couple of complaints "while you've
:28:23. > :28:26.been away, saying that you've been throwing parties "till four o'clock
:28:27. > :28:30.in the morning." The guy who's got my keys, I phoned him and says,
:28:31. > :28:33."What do you think you're playing at?" Because my housing officer says
:28:34. > :28:38.that, well, he's managed to blow all of your warning things. So I need to
:28:39. > :28:52.get my keys. Hello. Hello. On the other side of
:28:53. > :28:55.Christchurch, Renee has taken a break from the wool shop and headed
:28:56. > :29:01.to the butcher's to pay Carl a surprise visit. Hello! Is Carl here?
:29:02. > :29:04.Renee wants to lift everyone's spirits in the house by cooking a
:29:05. > :29:08.Caribbean meal tonight, and asks Carl to help her with her poultry
:29:09. > :29:12.needs. Hello, Renee! How are you, my love? I'm fine, how are you? I'm all
:29:13. > :29:17.right, you know. What are you after? I need some chicken. Do you? How do
:29:18. > :29:22.you want it? Diced. I wish I knew what I was doing more, Renee. Are
:29:23. > :29:28.you going to chop that one up for me? Can I just check on plasters
:29:29. > :29:34.first? Carl, be careful! I'd have probably chopped my finger off
:29:35. > :29:38.already. Here we go. Ah! Well done. I've been served by the best in
:29:39. > :29:42.town. I don't know about that! Stop being so down on yourself. I don't
:29:43. > :29:45.what I'm doing properly. I've had to have help all the way. You could
:29:46. > :29:52.have fooled me, though, Carl. Have a good day. Yourself. Bye-bye. Bye!
:29:53. > :29:54.Bye-bye, love. Over at the Dorset Smokery, Sean is
:29:55. > :30:06.hard at work on his second day. Don't stop! The smokehouse has a big
:30:07. > :30:10.pate order in today, so it's all hands on deck if they're going to
:30:11. > :30:19.Why did it come out like plop for me? It could be a bit better. His
:30:20. > :30:23.mentor Todd is at the smokehouse today. Sorry I wasn't here when you
:30:24. > :30:27.came in this morning. No. I'll be here for the rest of the day, so
:30:28. > :30:29.we'll catch up, OK? He wants to see first-hand how Sean is dealing with
:30:30. > :30:38.the physical work. He wants to work, but he's been out
:30:39. > :30:43.of work for four years. He's got to get over that psychological hurdle.
:30:44. > :30:48.What is work all about? And when he's on his feet eight hours a day,
:30:49. > :30:57.towards the end of the day he's not even pottering around. He's, you
:30:58. > :31:01.know, his mind's not engaged in it. My body is just not catching up to
:31:02. > :31:06.this work, and I feel ashamed saying it, but, you know, I've been unfit
:31:07. > :31:13.for a while. Never had a job where you've had to work this long. He's
:31:14. > :31:16.so soaking wet with sweat and that's what he's been like since he's been
:31:17. > :31:19.here, and if you're making food products and you're covered in sweat
:31:20. > :31:23.that's, you know, the whole lot doesn't come together.
:31:24. > :31:29.As the shift ends, it's clear to everyone that Sean is finding work
:31:30. > :31:33.at the smokery difficult. One of our guys actually came in this morning
:31:34. > :31:38.at 6.30 to catch up on the work he should have done yesterday.
:31:39. > :31:41.As soon as I get in I am going to bed. I'm going to sleep regardless
:31:42. > :31:44.of noise, people coming in, lights or anything. I will sleep until I
:31:45. > :31:58.need to get up tomorrow. Mate, I'm going to batter you at
:31:59. > :32:01.this. Having clocked off for the day, Adam
:32:02. > :32:05.and Carl decide to get into the swing of Christchurch life at the
:32:06. > :32:08.local mini golf course. Let me see who's the winner. With their own
:32:09. > :32:12.little twist on the rules. Every time you hit the ball, you swig a
:32:13. > :32:14.can of beer. Right, all right, then, that's the rules, yeah? Ah, hold on,
:32:15. > :32:25.mate, you've played this before. Argh! Take a sip. Yeah, take a sip.
:32:26. > :32:30.Going to end up zonked at this rate, yeah. That's it! Not sure if this
:32:31. > :32:35.new version of mini golf will catch on with the pensioners of
:32:36. > :32:40.Christchurch. 2-0. 2-0, I just won that one.
:32:41. > :32:43.A few beers in, and 19-year-old Adam decides the time is right to ask
:32:44. > :32:46.28-year-old Carl for some relationship advice.
:32:47. > :32:57.I'm not going to lie, I'm looking on taking Amber on a little date,
:32:58. > :33:00.innit? What? What's all this? Going to take her out or what? I'm
:33:01. > :33:05.thinking of like a meal or something. I want to go out for a
:33:06. > :33:09.meal. I want to like do it nicely. You might put too much pressure on
:33:10. > :33:12.yourself. You been out for a meal before? No, I've never been on a
:33:13. > :33:16.date. You've been out for a meal, like with a glass of wine and
:33:17. > :33:20.locking ordering food in French and chit? Yeah, I will. I'll feel bare
:33:21. > :33:24.awkward, but I will dress up smart, innit, and make myself look nice and
:33:25. > :33:28.make sure I do good. Just call her now, yeah? Come on, mate. Go on, do
:33:29. > :33:33.it, I dare you. Do it. I dare you. And say what? "Do you want to go out
:33:34. > :33:36.on a date one time? "Me and you, we'll go for something to eat. My
:33:37. > :33:41.treat." Well, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's how you do it. Shall I just
:33:42. > :33:45.ring her? Shall I just ring her? Go on, mate. Is it ringing? I'll put it
:33:46. > :33:48.on loudspeaker for you. Go on, yeah, good lad, good lad. Can't believe
:33:49. > :33:52.you got me doing this. 'Hello?' Amber? 'Hello?' What you saying? You
:33:53. > :33:56.had a good day at work? You settling in all right, yeah? Yeah. Yeah, what
:33:57. > :34:01.you doing? Just sitting on a railing by the sea. Shall we go out on a, go
:34:02. > :34:03.out on a date, me and you? 'Um, OK.' Go out for something nice to eat,
:34:04. > :34:09.yeah? SHE LAUGHS OK. 'My treat. All right,
:34:10. > :34:18.I'll speak to you later, yeah? 'All right, bye-bye.' Bye. Yeah, I can't
:34:19. > :34:25.believe I just did it! Come here! Take a sip. Take a sip. I've got a
:34:26. > :34:29.date, so I'm all good, because Amber is a nice girl, yeah, she's not,
:34:30. > :34:32.she's nice, innit, like, not in a bad way, she's just nice, innit,
:34:33. > :34:38.like. She seems like the type of girl I would like to settle down
:34:39. > :34:40.with, you get me? The boys are in high spirits, and really get stuck
:34:41. > :34:48.into their game. Take a sip, boy, you gotta take a
:34:49. > :34:50.sip now. I've had a sip. I've had a sip.
:34:51. > :35:04.HE RETCHES. Get it out. Get it out. That makes
:35:05. > :35:10.it worse. Oh, does it make it worse? Yeah, please, mate. It makes it... I
:35:11. > :35:14.brought Carl along today, yeah, I'll get some advice off him, innit,
:35:15. > :35:17.like. He's older than me, and I feel like I've had to look after my man,
:35:18. > :35:22.innit? Because, like, the man's steaming, like. You can keep that as
:35:23. > :35:30.a memento, yeah? Every time you look at that you know how much of a loser
:35:31. > :35:34.you are, yeah! What are you actually cooking? I'm cooking some Caribbean
:35:35. > :35:38.food tonight. While Carl spends a few hours sobering up, over at the
:35:39. > :35:42.house, Renee has been working hard in the kitchen, preparing a
:35:43. > :35:45.Caribbean feast. Everyone'll eat it? Yeah, everyone will eat it. I'm
:35:46. > :35:51.excited, are you? I love the diversity of food, different
:35:52. > :35:55.cultures. With only a few weeks remaining, she wants to do something
:35:56. > :35:58.nice for her fellow apprentices and is hoping her cooking will provide
:35:59. > :36:03.the perfect boost for a happier household. I hope it's not too
:36:04. > :36:08.spicy! Hmmm! Renee has been cooking up a Jamaican
:36:09. > :36:16.storm for over six hours. Jerk chicken with rice and peas. Dinner's
:36:17. > :36:22.ready! Food that one fussy eater has never tried. Rice and peas? What's
:36:23. > :36:27.that? It's gorgeous, man. Carl, you've got to try some. I will try
:36:28. > :36:30.some, but why don't they call it rice and kidney beans? Because it's
:36:31. > :36:35.called rice and peas, man. I should have put some chips in the oven, I
:36:36. > :36:37.know that. It is spicy, though, guys. Bring it on! I am warning you,
:36:38. > :36:57.it is spicy. Thank you very much. You all right, Carl?
:36:58. > :37:00.CARL BREATHES HEAVILY. No. Them Warrington boys can't handle the
:37:01. > :37:09.spicy food. Give me beans and gravy any day. Carl, it's not even spicy!
:37:10. > :37:13.It's not. It's not even spicy? No. I feel really bad. I cooked it, so I
:37:14. > :37:17.do feel bad because obviously you can't eat. Don't eat it, Carl, just
:37:18. > :37:20.eat the rice. I don't like rice. Rice and peas, I was thinking peas
:37:21. > :37:26.and rice, it's not even peas. It's beans. It's called rice and peas.
:37:27. > :37:30.Kidney beans. Kidney beans are gorgeous. Somebody needs to get
:37:31. > :37:36.their cars over to Jamaica and say, "Listen, they're peas and they're
:37:37. > :37:42.beans." Get it right. Conversation killer! Yep. I appreciate being
:37:43. > :37:49.cooked for and the effort you put into it. Actually, I can't eat any
:37:50. > :37:54.more food. Why? I don't want any more food. Stop eating it. There's
:37:55. > :38:02.curry. Eat the curry. The curry isn't as spicy. It's all right,
:38:03. > :38:06.don't worry. I'm going to go upstairs for a bit. What? I'm going
:38:07. > :38:18.upstairs for a bit. Are you sure? Yeah.
:38:19. > :38:32.Renee's Caribbean meal hasn't gone according to plan. What an idiot.
:38:33. > :38:41.I'm going to go and get some food, some proper English food. I'm so
:38:42. > :38:45.annoyed right now. How dare he make a comment about going back to
:38:46. > :38:47.Jamaica and getting them to change what it's called? Teach them
:38:48. > :39:01.something. Are you crazy? One takeaway later, and Carl has had
:39:02. > :39:09.time to think about his behaviour at dinner. I just feel like a bit of a
:39:10. > :39:13.dick now, because there's no need to offend anybody, and that's what I've
:39:14. > :39:17.done. She come in the butchers today to buy all the stuff and she was
:39:18. > :39:21.dead excited about it. I've not just dissed her food, I've kind of dissed
:39:22. > :39:23.her culture and heritage a little bit as well. Unintentionally,
:39:24. > :39:31.obviously, like, but, they're not peas. In our world, they're not
:39:32. > :39:36.peas, they're beans. Renee? Yeah? I'm just coming in to apologise. I'm
:39:37. > :39:41.a knobhead, aren't I? Everybody knows I'm a knobhead, don't they?
:39:42. > :39:45.Yeah, but I don't want people to think that, because that's not who
:39:46. > :39:50.you are. I didn't have to do... Yeah. I didn't have to be rude. I
:39:51. > :39:59.was just really offended by that comment. That one in particular, as
:40:00. > :40:02.well. Yeah, because I'd never say anything about England or, you know,
:40:03. > :40:06.someone should teach them about whatever. I just found that... I
:40:07. > :40:11.didn't... Yeah, I think I was more... I didn't mean it like that.
:40:12. > :40:21.I was more kissed off that I was expecting a pea and it was a bean.
:40:22. > :40:28.Really, Carl? Yeah. That's what upset you? I feel like I'd been lied
:40:29. > :40:34.to. Yeah, a little bit. But it's... You know what I mean? You see, with
:40:35. > :40:37.rice and peas, you have, sometimes when you cook it, you cook it with
:40:38. > :40:41.black eyed peas, sometimes you cook it with kidney beans, sometimes, you
:40:42. > :41:00.know, it depends on... Do you never use green peas? Hmm-mm.
:41:01. > :41:09.It's Thursday in Christchurch. If I start this end, OK, you can start
:41:10. > :41:15.that end if you want. Just make it look as nice as possible. And what's
:41:16. > :41:19.the goss in the house, then? Adam asked me on a date yesterday. Oh,
:41:20. > :41:26.yeah? Where you going? No idea. He hasn't told me. Are you going? Yeah.
:41:27. > :41:32.Today Irene has decided to take Deneka to get some supplies at the
:41:33. > :41:38.wholesaler's. There. Oh, yeah, that's nothing. They can go up to
:41:39. > :41:41.?400, ?500. After taking her home earlier this week to meet her
:41:42. > :41:46.husband, Irene is keen to show her trainee another vital part of being
:41:47. > :41:49.a hairdresser. This is oil for people's hair. Deneka takes the
:41:50. > :41:57.opportunity to ask her mentor a difficult question. All the
:41:58. > :42:03.electrical equipment here. Speaking of clippers... Yes. Cos I know that
:42:04. > :42:06.your hair salon don't do patterns like shaved patterns, would you
:42:07. > :42:09.mind, like, if I went to, can't remember what it's called, but it's
:42:10. > :42:13.across the road, and they do patterns, would you mind, if I got
:42:14. > :42:17.like there shaved, cos I thought I'd have to ask you first. Yes, no, I
:42:18. > :42:26.would mind, cos it just wouldn't look right. You've got to fit in.
:42:27. > :42:31.You have to fit in where you work. I won't fit in. I don't fit in anyway,
:42:32. > :42:35.I've got canerows in my hair. You don't see many people coming in with
:42:36. > :42:38.canerows, do you? I'm not happy. I think I might just get it done
:42:39. > :42:42.anyway. Smile. Don't look so cross. I know you're cross. Because I said
:42:43. > :42:45.she couldn't have her hair done. She just didn't want to be there then.
:42:46. > :42:52.Switched right off, so she's thrown a strop. Big time.
:42:53. > :42:57.As Deneka and Irene give each other the silent treatment, on the other
:42:58. > :43:10.side of town, Adam and Amber have the afternoon off. It's their first
:43:11. > :43:15.date and Adam has planned something special. A boat trip. Bonjour.
:43:16. > :43:21.Hello. Comment tu t'apelles? I don't understand French. Do you not? No.
:43:22. > :43:25.Oh, you all right? Yeah. You look nice today, don't you? Thank you. Do
:43:26. > :43:31.you know what we're doing, then, now we're here? Take it we're going on a
:43:32. > :43:36.boat? No, swimming. What an loophole. Of course going on a boat.
:43:37. > :43:41.Gonna rent a boat. I suffer really bad from motion sickness.
:43:42. > :43:46.HE LAUGHS. Don't laugh at me. It ain't funny. I'll still come. Be
:43:47. > :43:50.sick over the side and I'll be happy. SHE LAUGHS.
:43:51. > :43:54.I'll try. # I know I stand in line.
:43:55. > :44:06.# Until you think you have the time to spend an evening with me... #.
:44:07. > :44:11.Oh, my God, it's raining. Ah! Shh. This weather! It's your fault for
:44:12. > :44:16.taking long to get ready. It will come down in a pissing-down rain.
:44:17. > :44:21.This is nowhere near the best start to a date. I did my hair all lovely
:44:22. > :44:25.and my make-up and now it's rained and my hair is now wet and I look
:44:26. > :44:29.like chit. I'm not a weatherman, innit? So I don't know when the
:44:30. > :44:34.weather's going to change, you get me? The weather's the weather. Top
:44:35. > :44:44.stressing, man. Stressing? Look at my hair! He needs to make it up to
:44:45. > :44:51.me and buy me some nice food cos I'm starving. And some alcohol.
:44:52. > :44:59.Things aren't going brilliantly, but Adam isn't going to let a bit of
:45:00. > :45:03.rain dampen his romantic spirit. Amber has actually been quite worth
:45:04. > :45:07.the effort, innit? She's a lovely girl. When I'm around women I can be
:45:08. > :45:11.a bit of a muppet at times, yeah? But for some weird reason when I'm
:45:12. > :45:15.next to her I feel like I can be normal, innit, like, I don't have to
:45:16. > :45:19.put an act on or nothing like that. We're drinking rose. Pinot Grier.
:45:20. > :45:23.Babe, it's not called that. What is it, then? Pinot Grigio. That one. Do
:45:24. > :45:27.you like that? Unbelievable. People would say it is love at first sight,
:45:28. > :45:31.but it's nothing like that. I don't do love or anything. Yeah, I want to
:45:32. > :45:35.when I'm older but at the moment it's just nice how it is, innit? I
:45:36. > :45:38.love it. Sorry about earlier. It's not your fault. You can't help the
:45:39. > :45:42.weather. I'm not a weatherman, innit? Cheers. Let's hope this one
:45:43. > :45:46.goes well. Thank you. Before I came on this date I would never have said
:45:47. > :45:50.Adam was a romantic person. Stare into my eyes. I don't want to stare
:45:51. > :45:53.into your eyes. Stare into my eyes. No. Even though he has got this
:45:54. > :45:57.whole exterior being really bad and all that, he is actually really
:45:58. > :46:00.sweet. How's your date going? Are you enjoying it? Yeah, it's really
:46:01. > :46:04.good. Very nice. Mmm. You did well. Don't take that offensively. Why?
:46:05. > :46:07.What did you think I was going to do? Take me to McDonalds or
:46:08. > :46:10.something. 'The night's gone all right, you know?' I do think I
:46:11. > :46:14.pulled it out the bag, innit? I think I did quite good. Just never
:46:15. > :46:17.know what the future brings towards you, innit? But we're just enjoying
:46:18. > :46:20.our time together. Like, we're getting to know each other a lot
:46:21. > :46:24.more better, but you just never know, innit? Enjoy tonight, then,
:46:25. > :46:31.yeah? Yeah, it's really good. Thank you. You're welcome. Cutie. So, have
:46:32. > :46:42.I made you happy? Thanks for the night, yeah? You're welcome.
:46:43. > :46:46.It's Friday, and all across Christchurch, mentors are gathering
:46:47. > :46:50.their trainees for their weekly appraisals.
:46:51. > :46:58.The training that you've had over the last few weeks, now's the time
:46:59. > :47:00.to start putting that into place. Hair's nice and clean, which is
:47:01. > :47:03.nice. You're getting more and more
:47:04. > :47:09.advanced with the help you're able to give to the knitter. What size do
:47:10. > :47:13.you want? You know where to go to choose it and also you can help with
:47:14. > :47:17.their pattern. I was very impressed. At first I didn't know what I could
:47:18. > :47:21.learn or what I would learn, but since I've been here I couldn't have
:47:22. > :47:25.imagined it being any better. At the start of the week, Carl was
:47:26. > :47:32.over an hour late for work. Here's your change. Lovely. Thank you very
:47:33. > :47:36.much. His mentor Robin might be away on holiday, but he's left Mark and
:47:37. > :47:40.John in charge to keep an eye on the business and Carl's progress. Bit
:47:41. > :47:43.disappointed, cos we had a talk at the weekend and I thought, yeah,
:47:44. > :47:47.he's really up for this job, and then he didn't turn up, you know,
:47:48. > :47:52.and I thought, "Oh, dear." I did feel like it was a little bit of a
:47:53. > :47:57.kick in the gut. I could tell you was disappointed. Yeah, I was a
:47:58. > :48:00.little bit. Yeah. You can tell that, can't you? At Jon Terry's hair
:48:01. > :48:04.salon, despite Irene making an effort to encourage Deneka at work,
:48:05. > :48:10.things have not been going well for either of them. So you had a good
:48:11. > :48:15.week? Been a bit iffy, isn't it? Are you fed up with it here, or are you
:48:16. > :48:19.fed up with it in the house, or are you just fed up? Just fed up. Cos
:48:20. > :48:24.it's beginning to show, you're fed up. And I'd like you to come in on
:48:25. > :48:28.Monday with a bit more cheerful face, please. At the fish shop, it's
:48:29. > :48:34.the end of Amber's first week. Despite hating fish, she's taken to
:48:35. > :48:38.the job pretty well. We're going to try and get you involved in the
:48:39. > :48:41.filleting. You're doing quite well at knowing what the fish species
:48:42. > :48:44.are. Tomorrow there'll be another load of different stuff here. So,
:48:45. > :48:48.yeah, we'll take it from there. OK. I'm really looking forward to coming
:48:49. > :48:51.back, doing maybe a little bit of something a bit different. Just
:48:52. > :48:54.carrying on learning what I've been learning today and just getting
:48:55. > :48:58.better at it. It's been a busy first week for the other new trainee Sean,
:48:59. > :49:03.and he's found the physical nature of the work at the smokehouse heavy
:49:04. > :49:07.going. Physically I feel ill. Like, exhausted. I mean, yesterday, I
:49:08. > :49:11.mean, I didn't feel too great. I just got in straightaway and went to
:49:12. > :49:14.sleep. I mean, I did throw up a little bit, but that's probably just
:49:15. > :49:17.from exhaustion. We've got to get this moving.
:49:18. > :49:27.He started on Monday. We had him making pate, but he seemed to be
:49:28. > :49:31.extremely slow. Because I've had such a long gap out of work and, I
:49:32. > :49:34.won't lie, I've very little, very little physical activity besides
:49:35. > :49:45.walking to the school and back to pick up my little girl. Hi, Sean. I
:49:46. > :49:48.spoke to the guys and we feel, looking at what you're doing and
:49:49. > :49:51.everything else, now we're a happy-go-lucky organisation here and
:49:52. > :50:01.you have the right sense of humour for us, and people like you and
:50:02. > :50:07.everything else. We have a huge concern with your fitness to work,
:50:08. > :50:14.you know? So there's no way we can continue the relationship here,
:50:15. > :50:19.that's unfortunate. You seem to sweat an awful lot. That's a
:50:20. > :50:25.reflection of being out of condition, so lose some weight.
:50:26. > :50:30.Yeah. And get yourself fit. Yeah. And maybe come back down. You know
:50:31. > :50:41.where we are, all right? Keep in contact, OK? Thanks a lot for the
:50:42. > :50:45.opportunity. I appreciate it. I gave it my best shot. I can't say I
:50:46. > :50:52.didn't. I showed that I wanted to work. It was just the physical
:50:53. > :50:57.aspect of sort of not being able to, in the sense that, you know, I need
:50:58. > :51:02.to lose a bit of weight, and by a bit, I mean a lot. Sean heads into
:51:03. > :51:07.town to meet Rachel. She works at the garden centre and is on her
:51:08. > :51:10.lunch break. Basically, the mentor guy basically told me I wasn't fit
:51:11. > :51:17.enough for the job. Wow, that's ridiculous. His loss. Yeah, exactly.
:51:18. > :51:20.I'm awesome. I don't see how it has any impact, cos obviously you were
:51:21. > :51:24.doing your job. Mmm. I wasn't bothered by what he was saying. It
:51:25. > :51:28.was just sort of like, does this mean I'm going to have to go home
:51:29. > :51:32.now? When I've only really just started. So, what are you going to
:51:33. > :51:36.do now? I don't know at the moment. Hopefully I can find something else
:51:37. > :51:43.and get back to work. Don't be going on being miserable at home. I have
:51:44. > :51:46.to get back to work, so... After just one week, Sean's time in
:51:47. > :51:48.Christchurch appears to be coming to an end, and he'll head back to
:51:49. > :52:04.Liverpool tomorrow morning. Come on, we've got to beat them. For
:52:05. > :52:07.the rest of the apprentices, it's the end of another working week and
:52:08. > :52:11.they're marking the occasion by meeting up with all of their mentors
:52:12. > :52:16.for an old-fashioned game of pub skittles.
:52:17. > :52:23.Yes! That's good. THEY SHOUT AND LAUGH. Although
:52:24. > :52:26.tonight is a chance for everyone to let their hair down...
:52:27. > :52:32.THEY CHEER. ..the mentors take the opportunity
:52:33. > :52:37.to swap notes. Irene. # Come on, Irene! #. Irene, who
:52:38. > :52:42.mentors Deneka catches up with Paul, Adam's boss. So how you getting on?
:52:43. > :52:46.All right. Is she good? Yes, she can be. She can have her off-moments.
:52:47. > :52:51.Oh, dear, why? Well, she's moody. I wouldn't stand for that. No. With
:52:52. > :52:55.the game in full swing and spirits high, Deneka decides the time is
:52:56. > :53:02.right to ask Irene a tricky work question. I've had enough! I'm going
:53:03. > :53:05.to ask Irene for the day off tomorrow to sort out my flat
:53:06. > :53:13.business, but I'm really nervous, cos I feel like I'm letting her
:53:14. > :53:17.down. Slower! I don't want to sound cheeky and I don't really don't want
:53:18. > :53:21.to let you down cos you know I do love you as a manager, but I was
:53:22. > :53:24.wondering if I could have the day off tomorrow just to go to
:53:25. > :53:28.Manchester, like, sort everything out. Now, listen, you have let me
:53:29. > :53:31.down this week big time. You showed me up in the wholesalers, cos you
:53:32. > :53:35.threw that... Can...? No, hush your mouth. OK. You threw that large
:53:36. > :53:39.wobbly like a little child and then you sulked. The only reason why I'm
:53:40. > :53:43.going there is because I don't want to get kicked out of my flat. No, I
:53:44. > :53:47.don't want you to get kicked out of your flat either, so you can have
:53:48. > :53:51.the day off. Thank you very much. BUT I'm still cross with you and you
:53:52. > :53:55.need to pull your socks up. OK. You do know that I do appreciate this
:53:56. > :53:58.opportunity very much. Yes. I do. And... I want you to think about how
:53:59. > :54:02.you behaved. Cos somebody else wouldn't tolerate it, Deneka. It's
:54:03. > :54:05.not right. I really actually am sorry. OK. And thank you for like
:54:06. > :54:09.giving me another chance. I do appreciate it a lot. Come on, Amber,
:54:10. > :54:13.let's go. Why am I buying the drinks? You're meant to be the man.
:54:14. > :54:16.I thought she had a real cheek asking for the day off, but I think
:54:17. > :54:21.that youngsters of today have got more nerve than we would ever have.
:54:22. > :54:24.I don't want to upset my manager cos that's the last thing I wanted to
:54:25. > :54:28.do, but hopefully on Monday I can show her that I'm more cheerful and
:54:29. > :54:32.more like energetic about the job. This has been a complete and utterly
:54:33. > :54:35.negative week, and I'm not prepared to go through another week like it,
:54:36. > :54:45.so next week I really am hoping that she pulls her socks right up.
:54:46. > :54:51.It's Saturday in Christchurch. Yesterday Sean was told he wasn't
:54:52. > :54:55.physically up to the job at the smokehouse and was sacked. However,
:54:56. > :55:01.there is another potential job opportunity. A few weeks ago, one of
:55:02. > :55:06.the trainees, Christian, was sacked from the garden centre for refusing
:55:07. > :55:08.to remove his piercings. After their lunch yesterday, Rachel told her
:55:09. > :55:15.mentor Martin about Sean's situation. There's a vacancy and
:55:16. > :55:21.Martin wants to meet Sean to see if he's the right man for the job. You
:55:22. > :55:24.always feel better in a shirt and a tie and you feel a bit more
:55:25. > :55:29.professional. I want to get across that I'm a hard worker and I want to
:55:30. > :55:35.work and I'm not just a clown. I don't want to go home right now, at
:55:36. > :55:39.all. Hi. Hiya. How are you? I'm good. I'm Sean. So where have you
:55:40. > :55:43.been working? I was working at the smokery house. They did ask me to
:55:44. > :55:47.leave. It wasn't a factor of that I wasn't working hard. It was more of
:55:48. > :55:51.the fact that they didn't think I was physically up to the job. Well,
:55:52. > :55:55.look, you come here, you turn up Monday with the other two and we'll
:55:56. > :55:59.sort you out. Just go with the flow, yeah? Yeah. And we'll fit you in
:56:00. > :56:03.somewhere. You don't have to be an expert on plants to work here. I
:56:04. > :56:06.tell you what you have to be, you have to be enthusiastic and you have
:56:07. > :56:11.to be willing to tackle anything. Yeah. Thanks very much. It is really
:56:12. > :56:20.appreciated. Thank you. OK. Good. Honestly, thank you. Oh, it's made
:56:21. > :56:23.my day too, then. Oh, great. Cheers. I really like him. There's an
:56:24. > :56:27.instant warmth there with him. Enthusiasm is what it's about and as
:56:28. > :56:30.long as he brings enthusiasm in with him, then we're fine. The guy was
:56:31. > :56:34.great. The place was great and, yeah, I can see good things, yeah, I
:56:35. > :56:37.could genuinely work in a place like this, so it will be fantastic.
:56:38. > :56:43.Next time... You turd. You've been sick on yourself. ..the trainees mix
:56:44. > :56:49.with the Christchurch locals. Sit on my knee. Come on. Sex!
:56:50. > :56:54.And Deneka pushes her mentor Irene to the limit.
:56:55. > :57:03.You'll never get a job and keep it if you don't tone your life down.
:57:04. > :57:08.She asked me if I had the brains. Are you being real? Shove your job
:57:09. > :57:37.up your cars. Hi, I'm Tina. Here's your nine
:57:38. > :57:41.o'clock update from 60seconds. A female teacher has been stabbed to
:57:42. > :57:43.death in front of pupils at a Leeds school. A 15-year-old boy has been
:57:44. > :57:47.arrested. 61-year-old Anne Maguire had been teaching for 40 years.
:57:48. > :57:51.Max Clifford has been found guilty of eight indecent assaults on women
:57:52. > :57:54.and girls as young as 15. The PR guru was cleared of two other
:57:55. > :57:55.charges. He will be sentenced on Friday.
:57:56. > :57:56.Five members of
