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 > 0:00:11Nicknamed God's waiting room, it's the ultimate pensioners' paradise.

0:00:14 > 0:00:18But now the town has opened its gates to a swam of young job seekers

0:00:18 > 0:00:20to work in their old-fashioned businesses.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23All the butchers that I know are all getting old now.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26This 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 > 0:00:37Lovely to meet you.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39I'm Adam. We're on the boat then, yeah?

0:00:39 > 0:00:43The invasion has begun as 13 young people have been selected to

0:00:43 > 0:00:48live together and work across nine local businesses,

0:00:48 > 0:00:50from a fish stall...

0:00:50 > 0:00:51I nearly broke a nail as well.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53..to the local butchers.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55My little mate. As you can see,

0:00:55 > 0:00:58there are the hairs on his chinny-chin-chin.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01The bosses review the trainees' work at weekly appraisals...

0:01:01 > 0:01:03That's very good, Renee. Absolutely.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06..and already three people have fallen by the wayside.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08I can't take this.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15For the remaining nine trainees, there's only two weeks left.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18If they can maintain their focus and make it to the end, that

0:01:18 > 0:01:22elusive permanent job and a new life in Christchurch could be theirs.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Till's broken.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27If I got offered a job here, I'd snap it up.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30# I love her, she wants it. #

0:01:30 > 0:01:35I really want it, man. That is an absolute life-changing situation.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Coming up, the trainees get out and about

0:01:38 > 0:01:40and spend some quality time with the locals...

0:01:40 > 0:01:42HORSE SNORTS

0:01:42 > 0:01:43Sex.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44THEY LAUGH

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Right now I do feel like I'm going to court.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52..and find time for some drink and disorder.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54It's a good night but I think them girls

0:01:54 > 0:01:56had me out for free drinks, didn't they?

0:01:56 > 0:01:57SHE LAUGHS

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Oh, you turd, you've been sick on yourself.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04You cannot do everything you want to do.

0:02:04 > 0:02:05You can't carry on like this.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10This programme contains strong language

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Last time, two new trainees arrived in Christchurch.

0:02:13 > 0:02:14Hiya.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16THEY SCREAM

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Oh, my God!

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Sean struggled with the workload at the smoke house...

0:02:20 > 0:02:22I did throw up a little bit but that's probably just from exhaustion.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24..and was let go...

0:02:24 > 0:02:26There's no way we can continue the relationship.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29..but given a second chance at the garden centre.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31- How are you?- I'm good. I'm Sean.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33With his character, I think he'll fit in really well.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Amber filled a vacancy at the fish store...

0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Hiya.- You must be Amber.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40..and took a shine to fellow trainee Adam.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42No.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Oh, less of it, yeah?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Others weren't having quite so much fun.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Leave me alone, yeah? Please, just leave me alone.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Carl lost his enthusiasm for the job

0:02:50 > 0:02:54when mentor Robin went on holiday and began to let the team down.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Mark, sorry I'm late, mate.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59That is an important thing, though, getting up, ain't it, to be fair?

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Yeah.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Deneka started well at the salon...

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Quite sharp really, aren't you?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07She's not been using me like I'm some skivvy,

0:03:07 > 0:03:09like all the other placements I done.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12..but as the novelty wore off so did her interest.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Smile. Don't look so cross.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Boring. Getting bored of it now.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Because it's beginning to show you're fed up.

0:03:20 > 0:03:25Even so, Irene allowed Deneka a day off to go back home to Manchester.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Thank you very much. - But I'm still cross with you

0:03:27 > 0:03:29- and you need to pull your socks up.- OK.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45It's Sunday evening in Christchurch

0:03:45 > 0:03:48and, while the housemates relax before a new week at work,

0:03:48 > 0:03:53Deneka returns from her long weekend back home in Manchester.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59I'm really knackered.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04- How long was your train? - BLEEP too long.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07And I've not... I've hardly had any sleep. On the Friday, I didn't

0:04:07 > 0:04:11go to bed till, like, nine in the morning. Yeah, nine in the morning.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19Being home was great. Devastated about being back.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21I didn't even want to come back, to be honest.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25I like Manchester, not here.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27House is full of mad heads.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30THEY LAUGH

0:04:30 > 0:04:34And now I'm back to this shit hole. Yay(!)

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Monday morning and, with two weeks left

0:04:50 > 0:04:53of their eight-week work placement, Carl's up before dawn.

0:04:53 > 0:04:59Today is a special day. His mentor Robin returns from holiday.

0:04:59 > 0:05:04I'm looking forward to finding out what he got up to.

0:05:04 > 0:05:09I've come to an epiphany recently. I want to... I don't want to leave.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12I don't think wild horses could drag me away if they offered me the job.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15So, as Carl heads into work, his mentor Robin catches up

0:05:15 > 0:05:19with fellow butcher Mark to see how Carl has been getting on.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22Yeah, no, it's all been good, to be honest with you.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24I can't really think of any down...downsides really.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Good. Time keeping all right?

0:05:27 > 0:05:30- He had a couple of issues but he made that up.- Yeah?

0:05:30 > 0:05:32All right with the customers. Probably needs to just turn himself

0:05:32 > 0:05:35down a little, turn the volume down a little bit. But he's missed you.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38You'll be able to see what he can do this week, really.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41That's the thing, ain't it? To see him get on with stuff and that.

0:05:41 > 0:05:42That's the main thing, yeah.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46- I think he'll be an asset, to be honest with you.- Good. Jolly good.

0:05:46 > 0:05:47Morning, Robin.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49He's here. The man himself.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- How are you, Rob?- All right, mate? Yeah, fine.- And you got a tan.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56- No that's...- Yeah, you got a tan. I used a paint brush.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59- You not had a bath for three weeks? - No, that's right.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Yeah. You all right, are you?

0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Yeah, yeah, I've enjoyed myself.- Good.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05I'm getting to see the place a little bit more.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08I've seen the beach. I went up onto the hill the other day.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Yeah.- Yeah, really...- Good. - ..really going for it.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Jolly good.- Coffee? First things first.- Well, yeah, yeah.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19ALARM BLARES

0:06:19 > 0:06:21I'm really looking forward to today.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Back at the house, the rest of the trainees drag

0:06:24 > 0:06:25themselves into another week.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Oh, my head really hurts today.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30With the end of their work experience two weeks away,

0:06:30 > 0:06:33it's time to pull out all the stops to ensure

0:06:33 > 0:06:37they secure that coveted permanent job and a new life in Christchurch.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43If they don't, they face the sack and a return home.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49It is alive! It is alive!

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Oh!

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Today is a new start for Sean. He leaves the house with Rachel

0:06:58 > 0:07:03and James for his first day of work at Stewarts Garden Centre.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07Sean is struggling up the hill, while James and Rachel march on.

0:07:07 > 0:07:1025-year-old Sean's a single parent from Liverpool who's found it

0:07:10 > 0:07:12difficult to hold down a job

0:07:12 > 0:07:15while trying to raise his six-year-old daughter.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Oh, what a tune.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18At the garden centre,

0:07:18 > 0:07:21he's hoping he'll be able to cope with the workload

0:07:21 > 0:07:24after he struggled last week at the smoke house and was let go.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Appreciate it, mate.- Thank you. - # Good morning, good morning. #

0:07:28 > 0:07:31It's nice to be back in an environment where you're working with a lot of people.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35It should be fun, hence why I'm smiling of a morning.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38There to meet him is mentor Martin Stewart.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Come on, I'll show you round.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42- We didn't go round on Friday, did we?- No.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Can I introduce you Sean, who's starting in the garden shop?

0:07:45 > 0:07:47- This is Julie. - Very nice to meet you.

0:07:47 > 0:07:48You're from Rachel's neck of the woods then?

0:07:48 > 0:07:51I'm from Liverpool, she's from Birkenhead.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53We have Sunday dinners, they have beans on toast.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54THEY LAUGH

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Right, this is going to be entertaining then. Brilliant.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01So you're going to be working in the garden shop?

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Garden shop. - Let me loose on your public.

0:08:04 > 0:08:05This week at Stewarts,

0:08:05 > 0:08:09his new job will be on the shop floor in garden produce.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12So we'll get rid of these, we'll get some onto the shop floor there.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14You're just going to replace them with the teapot nesters

0:08:14 > 0:08:16and we've got some hedgehog houses.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18The department supervisor is Matt

0:08:18 > 0:08:20and he'll be overseeing Sean's work today.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22So whatever we can,

0:08:22 > 0:08:25we're going to squeeze onto this little weed killer part.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Again, there's massive space underneath there.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32'Compared to last Monday, the tempo is a bit different.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34'It's a lot more relaxed here.'

0:08:38 > 0:08:41I'm happy here. This is a place I could see that

0:08:41 > 0:08:44I could work for the rest of my days.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Matt knows that Sean found

0:08:45 > 0:08:48the physical nature of the work at the smoke house too much.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50He needs to get the measure of their new employee,

0:08:50 > 0:08:53so gets him busy straightaway.

0:08:53 > 0:08:54All right. Give it a wipe down?

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Yeah, with these. We'll take them all off, apart from the base

0:08:57 > 0:08:58and we'll just work our way up.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Five minutes and I'm already wringing.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03It gets warm in here, doesn't it?

0:09:04 > 0:09:08Physically, yeah, I feel that I could survive here

0:09:08 > 0:09:12whereas, after about a week of the smoke room I'd have been dead, yeah.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Do you want a water?- No, no, no, I'm good.- Are you sure?

0:09:15 > 0:09:17- I'll ask.- It does get quite...

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- It's me as well. I'm a sweaty git as well.- Well, feel free to pop off

0:09:20 > 0:09:22- if you want to get a drink. - Oh, cheers, man.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Matt just said to me, "Well, you know, if you're a bit hot

0:09:25 > 0:09:27"and you're a bit thirsty, go and get yourself a drink."

0:09:27 > 0:09:30I mean, I had to ask in the smoke room.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Just the feel to this place and the atmosphere, everything about

0:09:33 > 0:09:37it is a lot different from that job and it's more me, this place.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Ew, what did I just touch that was wet in the bin? Ugh.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51After a great weekend at home in Manchester,

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Deneka's not happy to be back in Christchurch.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58To make matters worse, her mentor Irene is off sick.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Assistant Gemma is in charge and has a long list of cleaning chores.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Yeah, I think I do more cleaning than actually

0:10:07 > 0:10:09the hairdressing side of the job.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13I don't expect to be cutting hair and colouring and all that

0:10:13 > 0:10:16but I do want to learn a bit more.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Their fucking grey hairs.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21I'm going backwards instead of forwards.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22I think, anyway, I am, anyway.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29Like, I did like it at first cos, like, for my first few weeks,

0:10:29 > 0:10:31like, she was letting me have a go at the hair

0:10:31 > 0:10:33and, like, let me do the tint

0:10:33 > 0:10:36but, like, now I'm just, like, not doing anything.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41Hairs flying around my nose and everything. It's fucking disgusting.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49One trainee who IS having a crash course in learning new skills

0:10:49 > 0:10:51is 18-year-old Amber from Slough.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Look how big he is.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59Last week, Amber started at the fish store, working with mentor Russell.

0:10:59 > 0:11:00If I give you...give you these...

0:11:00 > 0:11:04- OK.- ..that's everything that's there...there now.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Then we'll have a little look in a minute and see how you did.

0:11:07 > 0:11:08- OK.- All right?

0:11:12 > 0:11:13Done.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15That was quick. You've got them all right.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18I'm not sure I'd have done that on my first morning

0:11:18 > 0:11:19but anyway, well done.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Today, Amber's working with Russell's wife, Becky.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Go on, don't tickle it, pull it.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Do you fancy one for your tea tonight?

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Do I fuck!

0:11:29 > 0:11:32We will make a fishmonger out of you yet, Amber.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35I'm definitely getting over, like, the whole phobia of the fish thing.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Like, I work here, I do have to touch the fish.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40And it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Today, Amber is being taught how to prepare the fish for sale.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46We're going to head and gut this fish, OK?

0:11:46 > 0:11:48When there's loads of customers, I can't always help out

0:11:48 > 0:11:50cos I can't do things like that

0:11:50 > 0:11:52so being able to do that would...would be good.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54Hold it hard.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57I would hold that hand there, yeah. Where you are, yeah.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Flip it over.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04Again, go in at an angle. In halfway. Again, don't tickle it.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10Cool. OK. So now you're going to pull your guts out.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Oh, wow.

0:12:12 > 0:12:1310/10 for your head and gutting.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Really, truly, you've just shown me that you can do it

0:12:16 > 0:12:18so I know you can.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22The next person that comes in for a whole fish headed and gutted,

0:12:22 > 0:12:24can you do it with Amber, please?

0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Well done.- Thank you.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Across Christchurch, it's lunchtime...

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- See you in a bit, Gemma.- Bye.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35..and an opportunity for Deneka to catch up with Renee,

0:12:35 > 0:12:37who works at the wool shop.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Thank you.- You're welcome.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44How was your weekend?

0:12:44 > 0:12:45It was great without you.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47What?

0:12:47 > 0:12:50- I'm only joking. I did miss you. - Did you?- Yeah.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53How was going home making you feel? Especially when you had to come back here.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Well, to be honest, I didn't really want to come back but...

0:12:56 > 0:12:58I'm back.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Yay. Cos I didn't want to come back, I just had to think,

0:13:01 > 0:13:04"Right, you've done so long so you might as well just, like,

0:13:04 > 0:13:07- "face it out."- Do you want to stay here though? Like, if she offered

0:13:07 > 0:13:10- you a job, would you stay here? - No.- You wouldn't?- No.- Why?

0:13:10 > 0:13:12It's too far. Nah, I couldn't live round here.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Number one, it's too expensive. Number two, it's too far.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18Do I have a number three? No, I don't have a number three.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20But you'd be getting a job, though.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Yeah, I know but forget that. Not down here.

0:13:23 > 0:13:24BOTH: Thank you.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Why do you need to scrub your feet? Are they dry?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29THEY LAUGH

0:13:31 > 0:13:35After her lunch with Renee, Deneka is feeling upbeat.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36HORN BEEPS

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Swing on my nip, mate.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Back at the salon, it's quiet so Irene's assistant Gemma

0:13:43 > 0:13:47boosts her mood even more with a chance of some extra training.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51- OK, do you want to put some rollers in my hair?- Now?- Yes.- Yeah.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55I think Gemma, like, kind of seen I was kind of bored

0:13:55 > 0:13:57so she just said, "You can do my hair."

0:13:57 > 0:14:00If you just take it just a little bit from there

0:14:00 > 0:14:04and a little bit from that side and then do that, yeah?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06It's like brickwork. So you've got like two then one,

0:14:06 > 0:14:08then two then one, then two then one.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12I like to do things. I don't like to be stood around.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14'That's what work placements are for, to train you up.'

0:14:14 > 0:14:16Even when we started,

0:14:16 > 0:14:20we had models come in regular for us to...to practise.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Salon stylist Jane tells Deneka about her early days

0:14:23 > 0:14:25hairdressing and her first work placement.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28For the first six months, you didn't do the cutting.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31The thing is, even though they were models, they didn't want to go out

0:14:31 > 0:14:34with one side shorter than the other. With pieces missing.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38'I think I was expecting a bit too much. Maybe I'm just not

0:14:38 > 0:14:41'being patient enough but I'm just going to stick it out.'

0:14:43 > 0:14:45This is what you call buckling.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Can you see? - Oh, right, yeah. I can tell.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Where the ends go like that, yeah?- Yeah.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Where you haven't put the roller quite to the end,

0:14:53 > 0:14:54it causes buckling.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56'Even if I make mistakes, I can always show,

0:14:56 > 0:14:58'like, get shown ways of improvement.'

0:15:01 > 0:15:05It's like bridal hair. Yeah, well done, Deneka.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Oh.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09'You know what they say. Practice makes perfect.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12'Me saying I'm not going to stick it out, I think

0:15:12 > 0:15:15'I was just being a bit moody cos I really enjoyed today.'

0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Ciao for now. See you tomorrow. - Bye.- Bye.

0:15:26 > 0:15:27You all right, you turd?

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Turning into a trolley dolly.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34It's the end of Sean's first day at the garden centre.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Mentor and owner Martin Stewart is keen to check on his progress.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- How's he getting on? - Really well.- Yeah?

0:15:41 > 0:15:45- Yeah, really well. Fits in quite well with the team.- Good.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49It is a lot better here than the smokey? I mean, I'm smiling.

0:15:49 > 0:15:54'Last week I was smiling but inside I wasn't, whereas here, I am.'

0:15:54 > 0:15:56- I think he's so excited to be here...- Yeah.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00..and so relieved to be here that you know when we were showing him

0:16:00 > 0:16:02round this morning he was so eager to get going,

0:16:02 > 0:16:05his enthusiasm bubbles over and I didn't know whether

0:16:05 > 0:16:07he'd be too enthusiastic, you know what I mean?

0:16:07 > 0:16:09No, no. He's, he's been perfectly fine.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11He likes talking to people, meeting new people.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15If he's being over-familiar and over-jovial then just say...

0:16:15 > 0:16:16- Yeah.- ..calm it.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24I mean, it's nice round here, ain't it? It's really... It's a nice place.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- It's quiet, it's relaxed. - It's bright. It IS relaxed

0:16:27 > 0:16:28and I've noticed that.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32I feel so relaxed and so myself and down to earth down here, ain't it?

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Back at the house, other trainees

0:16:34 > 0:16:36are thinking about a permanent future in Christchurch.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39I think a new start would do you the world of good.

0:16:39 > 0:16:40Essentially, you could be

0:16:40 > 0:16:43moving down here with a couple of people that live here.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45I'd just be like, proper... I was lonely in Warrington, man.

0:16:45 > 0:16:46Do you know what I mean?

0:16:46 > 0:16:50Can you imagine how lonely I could possibly be down here?

0:16:50 > 0:16:54I would take a job down here. I think the main thing that would

0:16:54 > 0:16:58make me want to take the job is if somebody off this got it as well.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01If I could now get a bedsit or just, like, an apartment,

0:17:01 > 0:17:04I would leave here and just, I'd carry on my job happily.

0:17:04 > 0:17:07They're like a little family at my work. Do you know what I mean?

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Everyone's so caring and thoughtful and it's just nice to feel that.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12I like it here and I like the fact it's near a big city.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14It's near Bournemouth, it's not far from London

0:17:14 > 0:17:16but then you have that country feel as well.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19Yeah, I think I would move down here, you know, though.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21The things I think about is missing, like, me family and stuff.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25I miss me cats. They was only, like, three months when I left them.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- You got a cat? - Yeah, two cats. John and Yoko.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31John and Yoko? Where does that... where did them names come from?

0:17:31 > 0:17:34John and Yoko - John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36You've heard of John Lennon, haven't you?

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Ain't he a football player?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39HE LAUGHS

0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Adam, mate.- What?- John Lennon, like,

0:17:41 > 0:17:44one of the most famous people to ever walk the earth.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46THEY LAUGH

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Next morning, and the trainees head into work.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07See you later, bitches.

0:18:07 > 0:18:11With the possibility of a new life in Christchurch on the horizon,

0:18:11 > 0:18:14some of them have been getting to know the area.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16It's funny, the past few weeks, I've realised what a gorgeous

0:18:16 > 0:18:20place we live in. You know, I went to the, the beach the other day.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24I've been to the hills, the top of the Christ...St Catherine's hill.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Absolutely idyllic place to live.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29So I'm treating it like a girl at the moment - you know,

0:18:29 > 0:18:33she's shown me her beach, she's shown me her hills

0:18:33 > 0:18:35and now she's going to show me her forest.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39Today, some of the trainees have been invited on a day trip

0:18:39 > 0:18:42by a group of Christchurch's older residents.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45I'm looking forward to this afternoon

0:18:45 > 0:18:49cos we're going to the New Forest with,

0:18:49 > 0:18:53I believe, 50...50 young dears of the widows club.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59In Christchurch, nearly one in three people is over 60

0:18:59 > 0:19:02so a move to the area would mean mixing with a lot more old people

0:19:02 > 0:19:04than they're used to.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Fucking hate old people.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10I've worked with them and I got shit on and it was disgusting.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13I've spoken to guys in the cafe that are getting on a bit.

0:19:13 > 0:19:15They're not aliens. Old people are just people.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20I think the ladies at the widows club will be really nice

0:19:20 > 0:19:22but I don't want to, like, hear, like, death stories

0:19:22 > 0:19:24cos they really do depress me.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27I might get a bit depressed but I could be wrong.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29I might come back to the house smiling.

0:19:32 > 0:19:36We've got some lovely young people with us today, joining us.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40The New Horizons Widows Club is a local group who get together

0:19:40 > 0:19:43to support each other and have some fun in the autumn of their lives.

0:19:43 > 0:19:49My name's Betty. If you want to know anything, just ask us ladies.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52We've been there and done it, haven't we, girls? Right?

0:19:54 > 0:19:55APPLAUSE

0:19:57 > 0:20:00I've always wanted a cuddle from a big fella.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03You can have plenty. You can have... Come on, bring it in.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Girls, can you hear me?- ALL: Yeah. - Now, I want you to start a clap up.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11All together.

0:20:11 > 0:20:15# We are the New Horizon ladies

0:20:15 > 0:20:19# We are going to rise above it all

0:20:19 > 0:20:22# Support, love, companionship we offer... #

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Come on.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26# We are going to open up the door

0:20:26 > 0:20:28# Open up the door

0:20:28 > 0:20:32# For us sweet, old ladies now and forever

0:20:32 > 0:20:36# We will rise, we will rise we will rise!

0:20:36 > 0:20:39# Once more. #

0:20:42 > 0:20:44Thank you. Thank you, Sean, very much.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48Sing-song over, the group arrive in the New Forest,

0:20:48 > 0:20:50home of the famous wild ponies.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53- Have you lost your young lady? - Yeah.- Blonde girl?

0:20:53 > 0:20:57- No, she's tall.- Oh, Deneka. - Deneka, yes.- Yeah, yeah.

0:20:57 > 0:20:58Lovely.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00She's from Manchester. Boo!

0:21:00 > 0:21:02HE LAUGHS

0:21:02 > 0:21:03- Come on, then.- What if I get chased?

0:21:03 > 0:21:06HORSE NEIGHS Oh.

0:21:06 > 0:21:07HORSE SNORTS

0:21:07 > 0:21:08SHE WHIMPERS

0:21:09 > 0:21:13Ah, it's a good little horse.

0:21:13 > 0:21:14IT SNORTS LOUDLY

0:21:17 > 0:21:18LAUGHTER

0:21:18 > 0:21:21I told you something was going to happen with them horses.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23AMBER LAUGHS

0:21:23 > 0:21:26Yeah, you fucking laugh. You laugh.

0:21:26 > 0:21:27IT WHINNIES

0:21:29 > 0:21:32The lady who I sat next to on the bus didn't actually smell of wee

0:21:32 > 0:21:33like I thought they were going to.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36But, you know, there probably is one round here somewhere.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39But, you know, I'll take it as it comes.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41- We'll circle round. - Yeah, we could circle round,

0:21:41 > 0:21:43- have a good look at the village. - Come on, then.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46Obviously, once upon a time, old people were young but times have

0:21:46 > 0:21:48changed a lot since they were young.

0:21:48 > 0:21:52They probably don't like the stuff that we like now.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55Like, it's the 21st century now.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57I don't even know when these people were born

0:21:57 > 0:21:59but it probably was a long time ago.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01I always say we've all been there and worn the T-shirt.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Fortunately I've always had work.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06You owned your own knicker shop, didn't you?

0:22:06 > 0:22:08I swore... My own knicker shop.

0:22:08 > 0:22:09Yeah, it was, I'm not kidding you.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11If you saw the number of knickers I used to sell.

0:22:11 > 0:22:15While Sean talks pants, Carl drums up some trade for the butchers.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17I'll get your order all sorted

0:22:17 > 0:22:20and I'll get it sent out for you delivery, how about that?

0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Very nice. - Sounds as if you're in charge.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24THEY LAUGH

0:22:24 > 0:22:29I use me initiative, go on. It's a lovely place though, ain't it?

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Amber and Deneka are still struggling to find common ground

0:22:32 > 0:22:34with the elderly of Christchurch.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36We don't really have anything in common. Our music tastes

0:22:36 > 0:22:38are probably totally different.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40I like house music I can dance to, get drunk to.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43They probably listen to, like, Michael Buble or shit like that.

0:22:43 > 0:22:44Like, I fucking hate him.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48Or clothes, no.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50I don't see them rocking a leather jacket like I am today.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53No, they are wearing rain macs cos they came prepared for the weather.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55I didn't.

0:22:55 > 0:23:00No, they don't have fashion and... See? I can't relate to them.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Come on you turd, let's go. This way.

0:23:06 > 0:23:07Is this the menu?

0:23:07 > 0:23:08HE LAUGHS

0:23:08 > 0:23:10No way.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Hey, girls, have you seen this?

0:23:13 > 0:23:16Freddie Lambe's gammon ham.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20- I peel that ham. They've got it on the menu here.- Oh.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Despite her misgivings...

0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Excuse me. Hot chocolate incoming.- Thank you.

0:23:24 > 0:23:29..Amber settles down for some lunch and a chat with 68-year-old Janet.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31How long have you been living in Christchurch?

0:23:31 > 0:23:33I've been here about two and a half years now.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36The only people I knew were my daughter, who has a husband

0:23:36 > 0:23:39and kids so she's got a busy life,

0:23:39 > 0:23:41so I had to make my own life

0:23:41 > 0:23:44and, in Christchurch, for a person my age, that is not difficult.

0:23:44 > 0:23:45Christchurch works for me

0:23:45 > 0:23:49but I would imagine, as a younger person, it is a bit quiet.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Compared to what I'm used to,

0:23:51 > 0:23:53there's not many young people around.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55No, and what about you, James?

0:23:55 > 0:23:58- I don't mind.- If you were to go out on an evening where would you go?

0:23:58 > 0:24:00- I wouldn't go out. - You're not one...

0:24:00 > 0:24:03No, I'm not one for going out. I don't mind.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Old, young, you know, it don't bother me.

0:24:05 > 0:24:09How long have you been, like, a widow for?

0:24:09 > 0:24:12My husband died five years last August.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15So although I don't like... I didn't like being on my own,

0:24:15 > 0:24:18I've never liked being in a house on my own,

0:24:18 > 0:24:20I used to think it was eerie at night,

0:24:20 > 0:24:23but you kind of get used to it.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27- I'm afraid you have to, really. - I'm sorry to hear about that.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Yeah, it was... it was a blow, actually.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33AMBER: You must get a lot of support from all the others

0:24:33 > 0:24:35- that are in the club as well. - Well, we're all widows

0:24:35 > 0:24:39and although we don't have therapy or counselling or

0:24:39 > 0:24:42anything like that, we do understand each other and...

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Particularly with the music, the music session.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48You'll see a little tear in somebody's eye and you know why.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50- And you just give them a hug. - Oh, that's lovely.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53- You know, nobody's embarrassed.- No.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56We've all got favourite songs, haven't we? I'm teary myself now.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Oh.- No, it's worked well.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00After today, after meeting all the women

0:25:00 > 0:25:02my perception has changed a little bit on old people,

0:25:02 > 0:25:03that they don't all smell of wee

0:25:03 > 0:25:07and they don't all want to poo on me and sick on me and die on me,

0:25:07 > 0:25:11that they are actually quite nice people and they've all gone through

0:25:11 > 0:25:14some hard times and they all come together and it's nice that they can

0:25:14 > 0:25:16have each other for support as well.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Whilst Amber has warmed to the charms of the older generation,

0:25:19 > 0:25:22one trainee has built up quite a fan club.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25Yes, he... Carl will make a good butcher.

0:25:25 > 0:25:30- He's got that personality...- Yeah. - ..for putting customers at ease.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Very tall, very handsome.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35She's cheeky, ain't she?

0:25:35 > 0:25:39- He's caught everyone's eye here. - Yeah, and at church, ain't he?- Yeah.

0:25:39 > 0:25:43And he's got time for everyone and I love him for it

0:25:43 > 0:25:45and I can see that he's a very considerate young man.

0:25:47 > 0:25:52- I've not had a girl's phone number for ages! I'm only joking.- I know.

0:25:52 > 0:25:56His biggest fan is club president Betty Hope.

0:25:56 > 0:26:01Because I know so much about you and I know you're above board

0:26:01 > 0:26:03and everything, yes, you can come round my home.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Oh, really? Have you got any jobs that need doing?

0:26:06 > 0:26:11Yeah. By the time you come round, the windows will want doing again.

0:26:11 > 0:26:12Yeah, yeah?

0:26:12 > 0:26:13Sex.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15THEY LAUGH

0:26:15 > 0:26:16Will we try another one?

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Sit on me knee. Come on, then.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Don't blame it on me.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21You look quite worried there.

0:26:21 > 0:26:22THEY LAUGH

0:26:26 > 0:26:29You know what's coming, don't you?

0:26:29 > 0:26:32# We are the New Horizon ladies

0:26:32 > 0:26:35# We are going to rise above it all... #

0:26:43 > 0:26:45I'm late!

0:26:45 > 0:26:48It's Wednesday morning and our trainees head off, focused

0:26:48 > 0:26:52on doing good work and being one step closer to that permanent job.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57PHONE RINGS

0:26:57 > 0:27:00Hello. Peeks The Event Makers. Benny speaking. How can I help?

0:27:00 > 0:27:03One second. I'll just put you through to one of our sales team.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05At Peeks Party Store, Benny has been working for a week now,

0:27:05 > 0:27:09in telesales with department head Alan Trowbridge.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11I hope there's loads of cock.

0:27:11 > 0:27:14Benny arrived in Christchurch six weeks ago.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Thank you, Mr Taxi Man, you sexy bitch.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18I don't want no midnight visiting, thank you.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20SHE LAUGHS

0:27:20 > 0:27:22Oh, my God, it's massive.

0:27:23 > 0:27:25When he started at Peeks, his short attention span

0:27:25 > 0:27:28and potty mouth nearly got him the sack.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31They're fucking lovely. Oh, I thought I fucking shit it.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33You have to watch how much you swear on the shop floor.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35- You can't use that language.- Sorry.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37- It's not funny. - No, it's not funny.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39But his behaviour quickly improved.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42- I work well as well though.- You do now.- What did you mean before?

0:27:42 > 0:27:45And he went on to be a hit with his colleagues and his boss.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48- A lot of good reports.- Have you had any negatives at all?- No.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50HE GASPS Yes!

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Success in telesales is important to Benny

0:27:52 > 0:27:54because this is where the vacancy lies at Peeks.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56I don't know whether you want to make notes of this.

0:27:56 > 0:27:57Are you comfortable with it?

0:27:57 > 0:27:59Yeah, honestly, I'm really good at things like this.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02Last week, his work was outstanding...

0:28:02 > 0:28:06Correct. Spot on, 100%. I mean, that is brilliant.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09..but since then, his concentration has lapsed...

0:28:09 > 0:28:11You ready to put the order on now then, Benny?

0:28:11 > 0:28:13Do you want to do that now?

0:28:13 > 0:28:15..and old habits have returned.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18F for fanny. W for wanker.

0:28:20 > 0:28:24Seb? Seb? Do you fancy a coffee?

0:28:24 > 0:28:28- Do you want a coffee or a tea? - No thanks.- Are you sure?

0:28:28 > 0:28:29Benny has lost his focus.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33He isn't concentrating on processing orders and it's worrying Alan.

0:28:33 > 0:28:38There's a few little niggly things that have sort of come to the fore.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41There's a few things that he's not sort of...

0:28:41 > 0:28:44Not what I would call... Unacceptable.

0:28:44 > 0:28:45Alan, do you want a coffee or a tea?

0:28:45 > 0:28:48I was going to grab you for a quick ten-minute meeting just to

0:28:48 > 0:28:51sort of catch up and then we can grab one.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53- You're on the old cranberry juice, are you?- Yeah.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56Yeah. Come on in. Let's have a catch up.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01- Grab a seat, mate. I know you initially sat with me...- Yeah.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05..on sort of training or watching how orders were put on.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08I noticed that whilst you were sort of being trained,

0:29:08 > 0:29:13you didn't make any notes. Was there any reason for that?

0:29:13 > 0:29:16I like to think that I've got a photographic memory.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18- Oh, right.- And I do pick up things quite quickly and I find

0:29:18 > 0:29:20if I make notes I'll rely on them too much.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23I think in life you have to know how to go wrong to go right.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25I think I've picked it up better by doing that than...

0:29:25 > 0:29:29Yeah. At the moment, the success rate of obviously you completing

0:29:29 > 0:29:33an order are 100% stands at 20, 22%.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36I thought I was doing all right. A bit shocked by that but...

0:29:36 > 0:29:38You're missing off telephone numbers, you're missing off...

0:29:38 > 0:29:42- Yeah, really simple things.- ..names, you're missing off house numbers.

0:29:42 > 0:29:48- Yeah.- So I'm just wondering whether you're not fully focused.

0:29:48 > 0:29:51Is it just a lack of concentration or...?

0:29:51 > 0:29:53Yeah, I just think it's a lack of love for it really.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55My head's not really in it, I don't think, up here.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Maybe I think that's probably the issue.- You think?- Yeah, I think.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00And then obviously I get distracted so easy.

0:30:00 > 0:30:03When something else is distracted, I lose concentration.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06I'm like, "Screw this. You know, that phone keeps ringing,

0:30:06 > 0:30:09"that's pissing me off," so my mind goes elsewhere, unfortunately.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10That's terrible, I know.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13What I'm, what I'm thinking, Benny, is that perhaps revisit

0:30:13 > 0:30:16- some of the training...- Yeah.- ..on the web orders. We'll get out there,

0:30:16 > 0:30:19- we'll get some more orders for you. - Thank you.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21OK.

0:30:22 > 0:30:24Little bit tricky there, I found,

0:30:24 > 0:30:28because obviously he hasn't got a particularly high esteem

0:30:28 > 0:30:30of himself, doing this particular function here,

0:30:30 > 0:30:34and I need him, even if he doesn't particularly relish the job,

0:30:34 > 0:30:42to actually be a bit more concentrated and focused on what he's doing and try and obviously

0:30:42 > 0:30:44avoid all these interruptions.

0:30:44 > 0:30:46And try and get him focused.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50If he doesn't like office work, he doesn't like office work, but I just

0:30:50 > 0:30:54need to sort of try and encourage him to actually leave here with

0:30:54 > 0:30:56a bit more bounce in his step than what he is at the moment.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58Nice to hear some negatives, obviously.

0:30:58 > 0:31:03With doing so well here and stuff it's nice to be brought back down to earth a little bit and stuff,

0:31:03 > 0:31:05and I like to improve on things.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08When I first got told I was coming up here I was like, "Oh, it's

0:31:08 > 0:31:12"sitting at a desk, when you could be downstairs interacting with people,

0:31:12 > 0:31:16"the new people of Christchurch." And I love people. I think everyone

0:31:16 > 0:31:18here kind of knows that I really loved being in that party store.

0:31:18 > 0:31:21Alan will feed back to company boss John Peek

0:31:21 > 0:31:25so it's vital that Benny regains his focus before his weekly appraisal.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33The green buoy you've got to go round... That's the one.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36And your next green is down there, yeah?

0:31:36 > 0:31:40Down on Mudeford Quay, 19-year-old reformed bad boy Adam

0:31:40 > 0:31:42is working the ferry with mentor Paul.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44You can knock her up to 11.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46He's a long way from his gang life in Nottingham,

0:31:46 > 0:31:49where he's seen friends killed and was once stabbed himself.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52To be able to walk around and not have to keep a guard up

0:31:52 > 0:31:56all the time, like, it's a totally different new planet.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58There's never any trouble, it's just so nice.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00I feel like a brand-new person down in Christchurch.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03He's grown to love it here and wants to make the move

0:32:03 > 0:32:05if he can land a permanent job.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09And down the left-hand side here...

0:32:09 > 0:32:12On the quayside, Adam's parents have made a surprise day trip

0:32:12 > 0:32:13to Christchurch.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15They're here to see for themselves where their son

0:32:15 > 0:32:18is considering spending his future.

0:32:18 > 0:32:21It's nice to come down here and see if he is really,

0:32:21 > 0:32:23really serious about staying here.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26Our Adam is going to be shocked that we're down here.

0:32:26 > 0:32:30- Doesn't know a thing.- 200 miles, to come down here and surprise him.

0:32:30 > 0:32:31It's going to be worth every mile.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34He's just going to scream like a girl!

0:32:34 > 0:32:38I think he's going to be so surprised he'll end up crashing the boat into the harbour, I really do.

0:32:38 > 0:32:41Why is my mum and dad here?

0:32:42 > 0:32:46- What are you even doing here? - Have we been rumbled?

0:32:46 > 0:32:47You're making me worry now.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53Excuse me! Has one of you lot left your hat down here?

0:32:55 > 0:32:57You knew, didn't you?

0:33:02 > 0:33:03Surprised?

0:33:03 > 0:33:06I thought you'd be screaming like a girly!

0:33:09 > 0:33:13I think they've come down, yeah, because obviously I've been gone for two months now.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16I really want to stay down here, I don't want to go home.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19I think that's part of the reason they have come down, to see the area,

0:33:19 > 0:33:21and think, yeah, this is the right area for Adam to live in.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23Like, so start a nice fresh life.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25I can understand why you don't want to leave down here.

0:33:25 > 0:33:29- Isn't it gorgeous?!- Beautiful.- You telling me this ain't gorgeous?

0:33:29 > 0:33:31It's a bit cold and windy today, but...

0:33:31 > 0:33:33It's so picturesque, it's lovely.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35Do you want to come for a boat trip to see what Adam gets up to?

0:33:35 > 0:33:37- Why not?- Come on, then.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40- As long as it's not going to be a submarine, Adam.- No!

0:33:45 > 0:33:48He just seems such a totally different person.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51Two months ago he was sat at home in his boring little flat,

0:33:51 > 0:33:55pulling his hair out, trying to apply for jobs, and getting nowhere.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58To then come down here, and in the space of a few weeks,

0:33:58 > 0:34:01he's driving a boat.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04I am very impressed at you doing that.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Are you, Darren? - Yeah, can't believe he's driving it.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Know what all the buttons are for? - He tells me which one!

0:34:10 > 0:34:14- Drive forward, captain! - Keep your eyes at the front!

0:34:16 > 0:34:19I'm a person that's prepared to try anything.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21It's one of them, I need work,

0:34:21 > 0:34:24and I have to work, I can't sit on my ass and be a dole dosser.

0:34:26 > 0:34:28It's surprising how, in the space of six weeks,

0:34:28 > 0:34:32- there's such a change in you. - You seem so much more focused here.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35Do you actually feel like you're achieving something?

0:34:35 > 0:34:38That's what it seems to be, and it's brilliant to see.

0:34:38 > 0:34:42I feel like I'm a fresh born baby.

0:34:42 > 0:34:45I really don't know what it is about it, it's just being down here,

0:34:45 > 0:34:49- right, just to ride down the street and not know nobody that's going to shout your name.- Yeah.

0:34:49 > 0:34:52You've got to think in Nottingham I've got areas I can't even go

0:34:52 > 0:34:56to because I know if I go in that area I'll never get seen again.

0:34:56 > 0:34:57Yeah, I want a new life.

0:34:57 > 0:35:02'I want to come down here and start a fresh life, start a family off, have some babies,'

0:35:02 > 0:35:03and start a brand-new Adam off.

0:35:03 > 0:35:09- Like some ketchup, brown sauce? - We'll probably need more mayonnaise soon, but I'll let you know!

0:35:22 > 0:35:26It's appraisal day in Christchurch, when all the trainees

0:35:26 > 0:35:30sit down with their mentors for a weekly assessment of their progress.

0:35:32 > 0:35:33HE BURPS

0:35:33 > 0:35:37In telesales at Peeks Party Store, Benny's gone from 100% perfect

0:35:37 > 0:35:42processing to 20% this week, and his concentration is flagging.

0:35:44 > 0:35:48They're not answering, she said I'll definitely be in at ten, if not before ten.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50She's not in, she obviously doesn't want to pay.

0:35:50 > 0:35:52Well, you ain't getting the goods, then, are you, love?

0:35:52 > 0:35:56His choice of outfit is also causing a real distraction to the rest of the office.

0:35:56 > 0:36:01- She can remember what she said now. - "Oh," I said, "I like your new boots, Benny."

0:36:01 > 0:36:04- Oh, thank you. - They look well nice. Oh, I say!

0:36:06 > 0:36:11- When you've finished that Benny can I borrow you for a minute in the office?- Yeah, that's fine.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14Benny's a popular member of the telesales department so before

0:36:14 > 0:36:18his appraisal with mentor John Peek, Alan wants to offer him some advice.

0:36:19 > 0:36:23I thought I'd drag you in here a little bit early because

0:36:23 > 0:36:27you know you've got your weekly appraisal with John Peek today?

0:36:27 > 0:36:31- Yeah.- The actual clothing you're wearing today I think is

0:36:31 > 0:36:33inappropriate to see John.

0:36:35 > 0:36:36Why?

0:36:36 > 0:36:40Believe me, Benny, if you go into a meeting to see John Peek dressed

0:36:40 > 0:36:43like that, he'll turn you straight round and you'll be back out again,

0:36:43 > 0:36:45so you'll be wasting his time and your time.

0:36:45 > 0:36:47Why is that? Why would he turn me around and...

0:36:47 > 0:36:48It is just not accepted.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50But why is it not accepted?

0:36:50 > 0:36:52From the sort of side view, I mean those trousers,

0:36:52 > 0:36:55they're probably showing more than what you intended.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57Like what?

0:36:57 > 0:37:01You know, that sales office environment where we've potentially got clients coming in,

0:37:01 > 0:37:04that's just not really suitable.

0:37:04 > 0:37:09Would you not feel that that sort of dress is perhaps not becoming

0:37:09 > 0:37:13- of a meeting of that importance, or not?- I don't really dress to impress, I dress to express

0:37:13 > 0:37:16and personally I don't really think there's anything wrong with it

0:37:16 > 0:37:19but it's his company not mine, who am I to argue with that?

0:37:19 > 0:37:24Just...take it, as is, this is experience talking.

0:37:24 > 0:37:29And so what I was going to do was arrange to get you sent back home,

0:37:29 > 0:37:33get a change of clothing, get you back here in time for John's meeting.

0:37:34 > 0:37:35Mm-hm.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49Feeling a bit shit about it, really, if I'm honest,

0:37:49 > 0:37:52but I'm just looking for something to wear.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55So, as Benny thinks about a different outfit, the other trainees

0:37:55 > 0:37:56catch up with their mentors.

0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Morning.- Morning.

0:37:59 > 0:38:01- You all right?- Yeah, are you OK?

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Yeah. So another week.

0:38:03 > 0:38:06Another week now, I'm getting much much better

0:38:06 > 0:38:08and much more comfortable answering questions, as well,

0:38:08 > 0:38:12and, you know, if I don't know the answer I know where to go

0:38:12 > 0:38:15and find it or I know who will know the answer.

0:38:15 > 0:38:18So another good week for Rachel at the garden centre

0:38:18 > 0:38:21and in the cafe it's all going well for James.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Personally, I think you're doing well.

0:38:23 > 0:38:25You're in on time now, which is good.

0:38:25 > 0:38:29I have to say, personal appearance is good.

0:38:29 > 0:38:33- It's good for the customers to see somebody nicely turned out, you know?- Yeah.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37Last week, Sean was let go from the smoke house

0:38:37 > 0:38:39because he wasn't fit enough to cope with the physical work,

0:38:39 > 0:38:44so it's vital that this week he's proved he can deal with the workload at Stewarts.

0:38:44 > 0:38:48His first appraisal is with garden shop manager Duncan.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50I don't think you need to be too worried about the speed

0:38:50 > 0:38:53of doing things. It's far better to do the job properly than

0:38:53 > 0:38:56quickly. If you end up doing it quickly, you make mistakes

0:38:56 > 0:39:00and you'll then end up coming back to re-correct those mistakes.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02So I, I'm not worried about you taking time to do a job.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05I've been quite impressed how you've picked things up,

0:39:05 > 0:39:08and talking to Matt and the rest of the team they echo that.

0:39:08 > 0:39:12They tell you once how to do something and you've picked

0:39:12 > 0:39:15it up straightaway, so you should be proud of yourself for that.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18- Thanks a lot. - Keep doing what you're doing. - I will do, thank you.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21The feedback Duncan give me was fairly positive, to be honest.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24In here, it's just been one big nice confidence boost

0:39:24 > 0:39:27because, as I say, I've put more pressure on myself than

0:39:27 > 0:39:31probably anyone else does, so to hear him just say, yeah, just

0:39:31 > 0:39:35doesn't matter. You know, I mean obviously don't spend two hours

0:39:35 > 0:39:39on one display, or like a whole day, but, you know, as long as it's

0:39:39 > 0:39:43done properly he's happy...and I've just opened a bag I shouldn't of.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47At the salon, Irene is still poorly

0:39:47 > 0:39:49but she makes it in to hear how Deneka's week has gone.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54This week's been all right though. The girls have been keeping me busy.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56- Have they?- Mm-hm. I put rollers in Gemma's hair as well.

0:39:56 > 0:40:00Oh, that's good. So we'll start again next week.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03Okey dokey. Are you feeling more better now?

0:40:03 > 0:40:05Well, I will do, I'm sure, after a weekend of antibiotics.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08I'm sure I shall. I'd better.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10Take the weekend easy then, that's what I say.

0:40:11 > 0:40:15At Peeks Party Store, the job vacancy is in telesales.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17Hello. Is there a Miss Fiona Williams available

0:40:17 > 0:40:18to talk to, please?

0:40:18 > 0:40:21Benny's changed into something a little less comfy

0:40:21 > 0:40:24and joins mentor John Peek.

0:40:24 > 0:40:26He's been receiving reports from Alan about Benny's

0:40:26 > 0:40:28performance in telesales.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Hi, Mr John.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33Welcome, Benny. I'm a bit perplexed and I don't really

0:40:33 > 0:40:35know how to help you.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38When you started you, you got absolutely 100% right

0:40:38 > 0:40:41and then the next day you go back and it's...

0:40:41 > 0:40:44Yeah, my concentration span's terrible.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46I'm so keen on getting so much done and them being,

0:40:46 > 0:40:48"Wow, Benny, you've done so many orders",

0:40:48 > 0:40:50when really I should've slowed down and focused

0:40:50 > 0:40:52on the quality of it rather than the quantity of how many I'd done.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Yeah, quality is important because

0:40:54 > 0:40:56people are relying on what you're writing down.

0:40:56 > 0:41:01If you are concentrating and up to the job then I'd like you in there,

0:41:01 > 0:41:04- but you've got to prove that you are...- Worthy.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07Worthy of doing that last week, but I think you can do it.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09- I hope so.- All right.

0:41:10 > 0:41:12At the butchers, Carl's had another good week.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14So instead of an appraisal,

0:41:14 > 0:41:17he's arranging to go out with his mentor Robin.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20I need a wing man, you see. I've got a few tickets for a gig.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23- Great.- Do you want to come? - Oh, you want me...?

0:41:23 > 0:41:25Yeah, I do, I'd love to. Oh, brilliant

0:41:25 > 0:41:28- Now, I don't buy the drinks. - Oh...

0:41:28 > 0:41:31I'm just hoping, with it being like my night,

0:41:31 > 0:41:32do you know what I mean?

0:41:32 > 0:41:35Is there any possibility I could have the day off on the Saturday

0:41:35 > 0:41:36so I can hit it proper?

0:41:36 > 0:41:39I'd like to be drinking until the early hours of the morning,

0:41:39 > 0:41:41- do you know what I mean? For a good night out.- And what?

0:41:41 > 0:41:44And I'm coming with you and I've got to come into work?

0:41:44 > 0:41:46- Is that fair? - Not really, but...

0:41:46 > 0:41:50You've just had three weeks in Thailand, haven't ya?

0:41:50 > 0:41:52- Yeah, well, that's not the point. - It surely is, Robin

0:41:52 > 0:41:54Come on.

0:41:54 > 0:41:55Bye.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00Another week draws to a close, and with wages in their pockets

0:42:00 > 0:42:04the trainees gear themselves up for a big night out.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07Deneka and Amber are going drinking in town,

0:42:07 > 0:42:09Carl's heading to a gig with mentor Robin,

0:42:09 > 0:42:12and Adam has a more sedate evening ahead of him.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15- Oi, you turd, where you going tonight?- Paul and Julie.

0:42:15 > 0:42:19- Oh, are you going to their house? - Mm-hm.- Oh...

0:42:19 > 0:42:21You're like their son - it's so cute.

0:42:21 > 0:42:24It's not the ideal situation, innit, man?

0:42:24 > 0:42:26See you later, everyone!

0:42:26 > 0:42:29DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

0:42:29 > 0:42:31SHE SINGS

0:42:31 > 0:42:35As Amber and Deneka hit the bottle with Benny,

0:42:35 > 0:42:38Adam has an appointment at the captain's table.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40DOORBELL RINGS

0:42:42 > 0:42:44- Good afternoon, sir.- Good evening.

0:42:44 > 0:42:47Oh, good evening. Sorry, I got it wrong.

0:42:47 > 0:42:50You... You scrub up pretty well, Adam. Come in, come in.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52Thank you very much.

0:42:52 > 0:42:56- OK.- Two, three...- Ooh! - Guest of honour.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00Cheers, Adam. This is your evening.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03- Thank you for my invite tonight. - That's all right.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05The one thing you've got to do is hold your glass better,

0:43:05 > 0:43:09- OK, there's a thing, right? - Sorry.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11ALL TALK OVER EACH OTHER

0:43:11 > 0:43:15When... When you go cheers with a lady, right?

0:43:15 > 0:43:16It's stems and eyes, OK?

0:43:16 > 0:43:18- Stems and eyes, OK? - Well done, Adam.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21- Thank you very much.- So what's been more of the challenge?

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Working with us, because we're so difficult

0:43:24 > 0:43:25to work with or, or the house?

0:43:25 > 0:43:28Coming down and learning how to work on a boat so fast,

0:43:28 > 0:43:30I think that's I think that's been the hardest.

0:43:30 > 0:43:32- But you've actually managed to do it...- You said that.

0:43:32 > 0:43:35..and passed with flying colours, so well done.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37- I'm going to try one of these. - Yeah, very good.

0:43:37 > 0:43:38- What's on it? Salmon? - Mm-hm.

0:43:38 > 0:43:41I've never even tried salmon,

0:43:41 > 0:43:43- so it's going to be the first time. - Hmm.

0:43:47 > 0:43:50I've never tied it and that is actually quite beautiful.

0:43:50 > 0:43:52That is actually really nice.

0:43:56 > 0:43:58While Adam enjoys his amuse bouche,

0:43:58 > 0:44:00Carl from Warrington wants to give his mentor Robin

0:44:00 > 0:44:04a taste of his northern roots at a gig by Smiths cover band

0:44:04 > 0:44:06The Smyths...

0:44:06 > 0:44:08and get plenty of drinks in while he's at it.

0:44:08 > 0:44:11ROCK MUSIC PLAYS

0:44:11 > 0:44:13Did you enjoy that?

0:44:13 > 0:44:15Not on me...corduroy T-shirt.

0:44:15 > 0:44:18ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES

0:44:32 > 0:44:35I feel a bit guilty, you know.

0:44:35 > 0:44:38Robin doesn't like dancing, does he? I like dancing.

0:44:38 > 0:44:40Plus there's a few young girls on the scene,

0:44:40 > 0:44:42you know, giving it a wiggle.

0:44:42 > 0:44:45He'll be all right. He's been there, done that, ain't he?

0:44:45 > 0:44:48He's got the T-shirt. T-shirt's that old it's gone out of fashion.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52CHEERING

0:44:54 > 0:44:57- Give us a 20 quid, I'll... - I gave you a 20 in there.

0:44:57 > 0:45:01All right then. All right, fair cop. I'll give it you back on Monday.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03- There you go. I'll tell you what Carl...- You what?

0:45:03 > 0:45:05Don't be late in the morning, will ya?

0:45:05 > 0:45:08Oh, fuck off, Robin. HE LAUGHS

0:45:10 > 0:45:13That's a nice way to talk to your governor, ain't it?

0:45:13 > 0:45:15Fuck off. Take care, mate.

0:45:15 > 0:45:18- Are you off? - Have a good weekend.

0:45:18 > 0:45:22Robin's got to get up for the morning and fucking...on me own.

0:45:22 > 0:45:24It's a good night but I think them girls

0:45:24 > 0:45:27had me for free drinks, didn't they?

0:45:27 > 0:45:29I'm going to go somewhere else.

0:45:29 > 0:45:33As Carl goes in search of his next drink, the bubbles are flowing

0:45:33 > 0:45:36at the captain's table and Adam's talking about his childhood.

0:45:36 > 0:45:39When I was in school I was diagnosed with ADHD.

0:45:39 > 0:45:41I couldn't sit in lessons and look at the teacher

0:45:41 > 0:45:43and concentrate on what she had to say.

0:45:43 > 0:45:46If I sat in school and a teacher brought a piece of paperwork in front of me,

0:45:46 > 0:45:49I'd draw a smiley face and say, "F-you, I ain't doing none of that."

0:45:49 > 0:45:52Like it still scares me till this day to bring stuff out like that,

0:45:52 > 0:45:56but like I feel like I'm in a good environment to actually

0:45:56 > 0:45:57sit there and explain it now.

0:45:57 > 0:45:59But what I've seen when you came down here...

0:45:59 > 0:46:01Yes, we had a bit of rocky start,

0:46:01 > 0:46:04but the way you pick up stuff and the way you...

0:46:04 > 0:46:09conduct yourself, I genuinely think that you're a good worker.

0:46:09 > 0:46:14We can't employ people all year round, but we do have a lot

0:46:14 > 0:46:19of contacts in this area, so all we can do is like put your name forward

0:46:19 > 0:46:25to various organisations, set up meetings and then it's up to you.

0:46:25 > 0:46:29- If that's possible, that would absolutely be amazing actually.- Ah.

0:46:29 > 0:46:32You've got to aim for the stars, mate.

0:46:32 > 0:46:35- Aim higher.- Yep. - Aim higher than what...

0:46:35 > 0:46:37And I truly believe that you can achieve

0:46:37 > 0:46:41- whatever you want to achieve. - Oh, thank you very much.- OK.

0:46:41 > 0:46:44As Adam ends the night with a glass of brandy,

0:46:44 > 0:46:45Deneka's stayed out,

0:46:45 > 0:46:48and Amber returns to find Carl crashed on the floor.

0:46:48 > 0:46:50SHE LAUGHS

0:46:51 > 0:46:55Carl...you turd, you've been sick on yourself.

0:46:59 > 0:47:03The night ends and Deneka still hasn't returned to the house.

0:47:07 > 0:47:09You see, I'm just trying to piece together what happened.

0:47:09 > 0:47:12The next day and it's one o'clock in the afternoon.

0:47:12 > 0:47:15Carl's sleeping off his hangover and Deneka has only just

0:47:15 > 0:47:17returned to the house.

0:47:17 > 0:47:18She has some disturbing news.

0:47:18 > 0:47:22Last night I went out with Amber, went to a club,

0:47:22 > 0:47:27got really drunk, wandered off, had an argument with a girl,

0:47:27 > 0:47:29got into a fight, got arrested.

0:47:29 > 0:47:32- Fucking hell.- Well, she was... She literally gagged for it.

0:47:32 > 0:47:34She got on her knees and asked for it.

0:47:34 > 0:47:36Cos we was having an argument

0:47:36 > 0:47:38and like I offered her out, as in like said,

0:47:38 > 0:47:41"Well, come on. Let's just have a fight, right here, right now."

0:47:41 > 0:47:44And then like some guy stood in front of her.

0:47:44 > 0:47:45And like I was going to leave it,

0:47:45 > 0:47:48and then she was like pulling faces behind him like, you know,

0:47:48 > 0:47:51smug smileys, and like putting out her tongue.

0:47:51 > 0:47:54And I thought, "Fuck this shit."

0:47:54 > 0:47:57Managed to get round the guy, swung for her, she fell on the floor.

0:47:57 > 0:48:02- Fuckin' hell.- I was about to walk off, police came and marched after me

0:48:02 > 0:48:06and arrested me, got took into a cell, got interviewed this morning

0:48:08 > 0:48:13I'm on bail. It's like a criminal. Well, I am a criminal.

0:48:13 > 0:48:14Hmm.

0:48:16 > 0:48:23Yeah, possibly might have blown my opportunity, but...yeah.

0:48:23 > 0:48:28Nothing you can do now...so...yeah.

0:48:37 > 0:48:40I'm going to have to explain to Irene what happened.

0:48:40 > 0:48:44I don't have a clue what she's going to say, I really don't.

0:48:44 > 0:48:47Knowing she'll be appearing in court in three weeks' time,

0:48:47 > 0:48:52Deneka has to talk to mentor Irene before she starts work.

0:48:52 > 0:48:55I think Irene will be disappointed, but I'll go and see what she says.

0:48:58 > 0:48:59- Morning.- Morning.

0:49:03 > 0:49:05- All right?- Yeah, thank you. Can I talk to you?

0:49:05 > 0:49:08- Yes, you can.- Okey dokey. - We'll go upstairs.- Oh, OK.

0:49:12 > 0:49:17Basically, I got into a bit of a fight on Friday.

0:49:17 > 0:49:19Have you got a brain?

0:49:19 > 0:49:23- Yeah, but...- Have you? - Not when I'm drunk, no.

0:49:23 > 0:49:25What did you say to me when you came here?

0:49:26 > 0:49:29You said you'd already been told that

0:49:29 > 0:49:33- if you were caught fighting once more by the police...- Yeah.

0:49:33 > 0:49:34..then you'd get a record.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36I just don't know what to say to you.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38Trust me, I'm disappointed about it.

0:49:38 > 0:49:40You don't look very disappointed.

0:49:40 > 0:49:43I am. It might not look like it, but I actually am.

0:49:43 > 0:49:46- I'm just horrified that you've done something like that...- I know.

0:49:46 > 0:49:48I thought you knew better.

0:49:48 > 0:49:50- One thing that I said that I wouldn't have done.- No.

0:49:50 > 0:49:55You'll never get a job and keep it if you don't tone your life down.

0:49:55 > 0:49:58An employer is not going to...

0:49:58 > 0:50:01If you were just working for me, I would've sacked you...

0:50:02 > 0:50:04..and I'm going to think about it.

0:50:04 > 0:50:07So I think the best thing you can do is go home

0:50:07 > 0:50:10- and have a damn good think about it. - OK.

0:50:10 > 0:50:12And, seriously, sort your life out.

0:50:20 > 0:50:21I'm really not impressed.

0:50:21 > 0:50:25Half of me, to be honest, when I knew that there was some trouble,

0:50:25 > 0:50:27I thought she'd either had her head

0:50:27 > 0:50:32shaved or a tattoo in a ridiculous place. I didn't expect this.

0:50:32 > 0:50:34But I do need time to think about it.

0:50:34 > 0:50:38I can't seem to make her realise she needs some

0:50:38 > 0:50:40standard of behaviour to be working somewhere,

0:50:40 > 0:50:43and I cannot get it through to her head, I just can't.

0:50:43 > 0:50:45I think this is about the last straw really.

0:50:47 > 0:50:49HE LAUGHS

0:50:49 > 0:50:51You reckon you'll get sacked?

0:50:51 > 0:50:53She asked me if I had brains and I felt like actually turning

0:50:53 > 0:50:55round saying, "Are you fucking being real?

0:50:55 > 0:50:58"Shove your job up your fucking arse", but I bit..."

0:50:58 > 0:50:59Are you fucking stupid?

0:50:59 > 0:51:01..my fucking tongue, do you know what I mean?

0:51:01 > 0:51:04You know what? You're lucky though. I can't do that, innit?

0:51:04 > 0:51:06Back in the day I wouldn't have been able to

0:51:06 > 0:51:09take that. "Have you got brains?" Er... "Have you got brains, love?"

0:51:13 > 0:51:16Three hours after sending Deneka home,

0:51:16 > 0:51:19Irene's made her decision and heads to the house.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23I have tried with her.

0:51:23 > 0:51:25There are glimpses of when she's...

0:51:25 > 0:51:28She's really quite bright, but I don't think she's stupid.

0:51:28 > 0:51:31I just don't know what goes on in her head.

0:51:33 > 0:51:36And I've tried to make her realise that she is capable of

0:51:36 > 0:51:39doing something...but I don't know.

0:51:45 > 0:51:47I'm on the verge of getting sacked.

0:51:47 > 0:51:48Bit nervous, but maybe if she

0:51:48 > 0:51:52wanted to sack me she would've done it there and then, but I don't know.

0:51:52 > 0:51:55I really don't have a clue what to expect.

0:51:55 > 0:51:59I suppose once you're drunk you don't know what you're doing.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02I mean, I drank when I was young.

0:52:02 > 0:52:04I'm not saying I didn't. I was no goody-goody.

0:52:05 > 0:52:09I'm not too sure what to expect...

0:52:09 > 0:52:12because it's my first like proper job and this isn't really good.

0:52:17 > 0:52:20- Hello, Deneka.- Hello, do you want to come inside?- Yeah.

0:52:29 > 0:52:33I've thought very carefully about what you've told me this morning.

0:52:33 > 0:52:34OK.

0:52:34 > 0:52:37- And I've decided I think you ought to go home.- OK.

0:52:37 > 0:52:38- All right?- Yeah.

0:52:38 > 0:52:42- I'm very sad that it's come to this...- Yeah.

0:52:42 > 0:52:46..for your sake as well as mine because I've tried hard, Deneka,

0:52:46 > 0:52:49but you can't carry on like this.

0:52:49 > 0:52:52You just must get your head round the fact that you cannot

0:52:52 > 0:52:55- do everything you want to do.- OK.

0:52:55 > 0:52:57Nobody will employ you like that. Nobody

0:52:57 > 0:53:01- And I don't want that to happen to you.- OK.

0:53:01 > 0:53:05You must realise that you have responsibilities towards

0:53:05 > 0:53:11your work, and it comes across as you haven't got any at all.

0:53:11 > 0:53:14You're a silly girl. You've got a brain,

0:53:14 > 0:53:16there's no doubt about that.

0:53:16 > 0:53:19You pick up things really quickly, but then you get bored

0:53:19 > 0:53:23and you think, "Oh, well I'm nearly at the end of this now."

0:53:23 > 0:53:29And I've given you loads of chances, loads and loads, but this...

0:53:29 > 0:53:30This just isn't on.

0:53:32 > 0:53:36Have you learnt anything from being with me?

0:53:36 > 0:53:38I don't know.

0:53:44 > 0:53:47I need to go downstairs for one second.

0:53:49 > 0:53:53She'll just say whatever she wants to now to cover herself.

0:53:53 > 0:53:55I'm afraid that's the way it goes.

0:53:55 > 0:54:00She's been backed into a corner, so she's going to come out fighting.

0:54:00 > 0:54:02How dare she try to tell me I don't put effort in. How dare you?

0:54:02 > 0:54:06Oh, she's just fucking come in my room trying to tell me

0:54:06 > 0:54:07I don't try and work.

0:54:07 > 0:54:10Are you fucking kidding me? I always ask for extra jobs.

0:54:10 > 0:54:12I even asked the other day, "Oh, maybe,

0:54:12 > 0:54:15"one day, maybe could you like show me...?"

0:54:15 > 0:54:19Don't worry about what's she saying about me - I don't care.

0:54:19 > 0:54:22Apparently I don't try, but yet I asked for more jobs.

0:54:22 > 0:54:24I feel justified in what I've done.

0:54:24 > 0:54:27She's acting as I knew she would act

0:54:27 > 0:54:31and so I've done the right thing, I know that.

0:54:31 > 0:54:35I've tried to help Deneka and it clearly hasn't gone in, has it?

0:54:35 > 0:54:38She doesn't know what she's learnt from me, if anything.

0:54:38 > 0:54:41So I'm afraid it's the end of the line.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43I actually don't even know what to say, man.

0:54:43 > 0:54:45I've never been sacked from a job, that's the thing.

0:54:45 > 0:54:47It's a bit hard for me to put a word into...

0:54:47 > 0:54:51Just because something happened on the weekend? Oh, my fucking god.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53I think it's best if she rants and raves on her own.

0:55:06 > 0:55:09If you ask me, she's being a bit unfair there.

0:55:09 > 0:55:11I didn't think I'd get sacked, but guess what?

0:55:11 > 0:55:13Deneka just got fucking sacked.

0:55:23 > 0:55:26I'm going to miss you. Love you.

0:55:26 > 0:55:27Love you, too.

0:55:46 > 0:55:49- Oh. - Come here. Oh, my gosh.

0:55:52 > 0:55:54I think she may regret, you know, being fired.

0:55:54 > 0:55:56I hope it doesn't knock her too bad.

0:55:56 > 0:56:00I mean, it's near the end and I'm just gutted that she's gone now.

0:56:01 > 0:56:03I've let myself down a lot

0:56:03 > 0:56:06because I didn't intend to come in here and get sacked.

0:56:07 > 0:56:10When she came here, I had some really high hopes for her

0:56:10 > 0:56:13and it's not going to anything.

0:56:14 > 0:56:16And I think that's sad,

0:56:16 > 0:56:19because she's had the opportunity and she's thrown it away.

0:56:24 > 0:56:25# I love her

0:56:25 > 0:56:27# She wants it... #

0:56:27 > 0:56:30Next time, it's make or break as the trainees' placements come to an end.

0:56:30 > 0:56:34Five weeks. It flies by when you're having fun, doesn't it?

0:56:34 > 0:56:36Who will be sent home?

0:56:36 > 0:56:38And who will be offered a permanent job

0:56:38 > 0:56:41and a bright new future in Christchurch?

0:56:41 > 0:56:43If you really want this job

0:56:43 > 0:56:45then you've got to prove that you want it.

0:56:47 > 0:56:49I want this, innit?

0:56:49 > 0:56:50Like I really, really want it.

0:56:50 > 0:56:52CHEERING
