0:00:03 > 0:00:07This bakery has seen a good few marriages over the years.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10To my baby sister and my best mate. To Shelly and Rich.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12- ALL:- Shelly and Rich.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Are you proposing to me?
0:00:14 > 0:00:17- Well, we talked about it before. - When you said it was a good tax break.
0:00:17 > 0:00:23- It's just sometimes, I wonder if you're happy.- Happy? Why wouldn't I be?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27I'm sorry to tell you Valley Bara will close with immediate effect.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29You can't just shut us down!
0:00:31 > 0:00:34This place will be a ghost town without the bakery.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Where would we go?- Glasgow.- Glasgow?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40You're going to go, aren't you?
0:00:42 > 0:00:46- So you're going to go home to him as if nothing's happened. - Nothing has happened.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Sarah, wait! - Are you going to tell Rob?
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- We're just sat here like bloody sheep.- What should we be doing? - I don't know!
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- It's not only our jobs, it's our lives!- Yeah, we know.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59I keep losing.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03You don't know how easily it all falls apart.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I am not...
0:01:06 > 0:01:08bloody...
0:01:09 > 0:01:11..losing!
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- The bakery's closed.- And we can get it up and running again.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19If we own the place, then we have control. It's obvious.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21We have to buy the bakery.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- So you want to buy the bakery?! - Between us, we know how it all runs.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Manufacture, supply, delivery.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I've sat in that office for years watching how they do it.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Nothing goes on that I don't know about.- Apart from it closing down.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Valley Bara is already on the market. Shell rung them.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- They're desperate to sell. They haven't had a sniff so far. - If they don't think
0:01:50 > 0:01:53it'll sell, they'll asset-strip it.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55So we have to getting in there quick.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00If no-one else is stupid enough to want to buy it, shouldn't that be telling us something?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Only what we already know.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Valley Bara means nothing to big business.- But it means a lot to us.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- How much are they asking?- 400 grand.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11We could ask for a bit off.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- We haven't got 400 grand! We haven't even got four grand!- Not between us,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- between everyone.- Who? - Everyone who worked at Valley Bara.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- Everyone who lost their job and wants it back.- Like a co-operative.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Worker owned, worker run.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- It's been done before.- See?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34You want people to put their own money in when they've just lost their job?!
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Yeah. Well, that's exactly what I want.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43MUSIC: "Gwalch" by Fern Hill
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Hi. Sorry to bother you, just wanted to hand you one of these.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Thank you very much. Cheers.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07- What's that?- "Valley Bara employee buyout proposal".
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Saves me the effort,
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I was just coming to give you one of these.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Sorry, Shell, I can't stop.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19I'll come back and buzz for you later.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Moira, is Gwynfor in?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Yeah, he's in.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I've got a pile of ironing that needs doing.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- I should have brought it round. - Cup of tea, Peter?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- Yep.- I'm just off.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Feels wrong, leaving you here.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43I'll be fine and don't worry.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45I'll find something soon.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I'll be back by four. Don't forget your tablets.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I came to give you this.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01"For all former workers of the Valley Bara bakery".
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Who's bright idea is this(?)
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Right, Peter is doing everyone above the High Street.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10OK, so we need to do this lot.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12I can't find my iPod.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Have you looked for it?- Yes.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Well, look again. I thought you wanted to be more independent.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Independent, yes, not neglected.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Who are you phoning? Childline?!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Hi, Mum, it's me. Can you call me back?
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- I've got to do the rest of these. Can you give me a hand? - I've got to go at ten.- Where?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Training day.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Telesales. I put my name down when we signed on.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41It's just a taster.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43It probably won't come to anything.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Don't go then. - I said I'd take Gwynfor and Karen.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49What about the buyout?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I'm just keeping my options open.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Well, thanks a ton.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Oh, come on!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58You know what? Shove your options.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02If you haven't got the balls for the buyout, I don't need you around.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Come on, US running the bakery?
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Why not?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12I know Owen.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16He's a lad, he's a laugh, but he's not a businessman.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Well, it's not just him, is it?- Yeah, there's you and Pete, too.- And?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22And you're out of your depth.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- I'm sorry.- Owen's right.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29We don't need you.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Oh, she won't like that.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- Ah, yeah. Er, she wanted me to drop some of her stuff off at Owen's. - When's she back here?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- ..Next week.- Good.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05It's very quiet without her.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I thought you'd have been glad of the break.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09She's hard work, but...
0:06:09 > 0:06:12It's a difficult age.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15She's so smart, I just wanted to take her in the right direction.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23It's only going to get harder for her around here.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26High unemployment, under-achieving kids, they go together.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29That's where we come into it. Responsible parents, setting a good example.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- I haven't had a fag in years. - Me neither. I could murder one.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Me too.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Have you thought any more about Scotland? I don't want to pressure you.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Yeah, I know, but you know what I'm like, there's just so much to think about.
0:06:45 > 0:06:51I do know what you're like. You're my beautiful girl. I'm not even going to mention the M-word either
0:06:51 > 0:06:53cos I know you're thinking about that, too.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56I'll wait as long as I have to.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Oh, this is very low energy.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08SHE CLAPS Everyone on your feet. Let's shake it out.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Yeah? Shake out those blues, those bad feelings.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16And breathe in positivity.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Hmm? OK...
0:07:24 > 0:07:25So you've had a look at your script.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Let's run an example.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32I'm going to go for...Gwynfor.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Gwynfor?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Great name. So, Gwynfor, you're the customer services adviser, yeah?
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I'm the "idiot" on the phone. And the call is coming through.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Three, two, one...
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Well, finally, is that actually a person I'm talking to or just another machine?
0:07:51 > 0:07:5515 minutes I've been waiting for a human being, if that's what you are!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57How would you respond to that?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Well, I...- Don't look at me.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02The answer's not in my face, it's in your script.
0:08:02 > 0:08:08Now, being organised and having your script to hand is crucial because the call will continue.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11A trained monkey could do better than a useless moron like you.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- All right, love, that's enough. - Gwynfor?
0:08:13 > 0:08:18I think you should learn to keep a civil tongue in your head.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19That's not the scripted response.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Sod the script. Anyone talks to me like that, they're getting a slap.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Well, they'll be on the end of a phone, so you'll need long arms.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30I meant a verbal slap, which I promise you, I am more than capable of delivering.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I'll show you now, if you want?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Now, the job can be challenging...
0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's not a job, being shouted at by idiots.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Karen.
0:08:42 > 0:08:49I know times change and we all have to adapt, but with all due respect,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I think you'll agree, this isn't the job for me.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Thank you. Gina.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Anyone else?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Redundancy payout shouldn't take more than a month.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Nearly 30 years you've been there.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- That's a tidy nest egg. - I know it's asking a lot. - Is this what you want
0:09:17 > 0:09:19to be doing at your age?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22It's more than just a job. And there's your heart.
0:09:22 > 0:09:28Look, I'm 58 now, not a great age to be entering the job market.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I'm still working and with your redundancy money we could manage.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Don't put me out to grass just yet.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Hi, I've brought some of Elen's stuff round.- She's at school.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I know.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Look, I just want to clear the air. What happened between us was a mistake,
0:09:59 > 0:10:03it was my fault. It didn't mean anything and I wish it had never happened.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Well?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Thanks for letting me know.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- What?- You came here to tell me it was nothing, you told me, job done.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Fine.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Have you told Rob? - No, not yet.- So you're going to? - None of your business.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- It will be when he turns up with a crowbar and a shovel. - Do you think this is funny?!
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- This isn't funny.- Really?! He asks you to run away to Scotland and marry him
0:10:30 > 0:10:34and you jump in bed with your ex-husband, I think it's bloody hilarious.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- This is my life we're talking about, Owen!- Then why did you do it? - Why did YOU, Owen?!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- I don't...- Oh, have a think.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Well, does it matter?
0:10:49 > 0:10:50You said it was your fault.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- YOU said you were leaving.- And? - I didn't think it was a good idea.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- For who?- Elen.- Elen!- I don't want my daughter moving to Scotland.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02I said we'd sort something out because whatever happens between me and you, we've always put Elen first,
0:11:02 > 0:11:03so don't you dare say that.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07All right.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Why then?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- I just lost my job.- Mm-hm. - Shell and Rich were engaged.- And?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20What do want me to say, Sair?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24If sleeping with me didn't mean anything,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28if it was just a mistake, then it doesn't bloody matter, does it?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Let's just forget all about it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- You told me you needed to move on from me.- I know.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- And then you slept with me!- Then it made me realise how much I love Rob.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Well, good luck explaining that one.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Are you going to tell him here or in Scotland?!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54HUM OF CONVERSATION OWEN: Right, OK.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Right, the big idea is...
0:11:56 > 0:12:02we'd be in charge. Valley Bara would be worker-owned and worker-run.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03It's called a co-operative.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08We'd all keep our jobs, we'd be making money for ourselves, no-one else.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- But we have to put money into start with.- We've all just lost our jobs.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15And we're all waiting for our redundancy payout.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- If we pool that, we can buy Valley Bara ourselves. - How many of us get redundancy?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- 34.- How much does it come to?
0:12:22 > 0:12:27GWYNFOR: Entitlement to statutory redundancy is calculated according to age and length of service.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- So we all get different amounts? - I've only been there four years
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- and you have been there for ever. - Well, there's an old saying, from each according to his ability...
0:12:35 > 0:12:39..To each according to his need.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- What does that mean?- Well, those who get more, have to pay more in.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45But then do you get more say? Get paid more?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48The stake stays the same. One man, one vote.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- How is that fair?- Because everybody is still giving everything they've got, even if it's not much.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57If you want part of this, you put in your whole redundancy, whatever it is.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59MURMURING
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- It's all nothing.- It's still not going to be enough, though, is it?
0:13:02 > 0:13:07No, we need to raise funds elsewhere, but the capital will help us do that.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- There are risks, of course. - Like what?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Like if you put your money in and it doesn't work out, then that's your money gone.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18And we would get nothing back.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21< When you say "raise money elsewhere", what d'you mean?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Why would they invest in us?
0:13:23 > 0:13:30Until recently, overseas companies were given big incentives to come here and they did.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33They stayed a few years, raking it in, then when the incentives ran out,
0:13:33 > 0:13:34they buggered off.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38The assembly is changing its game-plan now.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41"Indigenous investment" they're calling it.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45That means help for people who can't just bugger off, people like us.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47MURMURING VOICES
0:13:49 > 0:13:55If we can raise half the fund, we can go to the bank to loan the rest.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57And whose name would be on that?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59We could lose all our money and end up owing even more.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Or you could be taking charge.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Look, you, me, all of us here,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06we're the bottom of the food chain.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Our jobs went like that. And why?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Because somebody, somewhere, in another country...
0:14:12 > 0:14:14decided we weren't worth it.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19We've been thrown on the scrap heap like so many others.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23But WE'VE got the chance to do something about it.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26So how long would we have to raise the money?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Two months.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- After that, they'll asset strip. - How would it work?
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Day-to-day?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Who gets to decide stuff?
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Oh, sorry, Shell, I can't.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50I've never done a business plan.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54The bank needs one, everything you apply for needs one.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- I don't want to mess this up. - You need an accountant. - That will cost a fortune.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Look, you do this sort of thing all the time for Rob.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I know it's asking a lot.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- No, it's not that.- You don't think we can do it, do you?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08You've got so little time and such a huge amount of money.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Are people really going to put in their redundancy?
0:15:11 > 0:15:15And Owen? I mean, how is Owen behind this?!
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- He was never keen on the bakery or Trefynydd.- Or anything that's not rugby or beer, I know.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22He doesn't like being pushed around.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Well, he's not going to be wanting me to help.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Why not? Have you had an argument?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Well, look, it's not up to him.
0:15:30 > 0:15:36This is a co-operative and I'll make sure he co-operates.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41I know some of the older blokes are screwed, but I'm young, single, no kids, no mortgage.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I'll find something.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Where?- Cardiff.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48That's expensive. I paid £4 for a pint last international.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53Yeah, well, I've a little bit of redundancy to get me started, won't I, if I don't give it to you.
0:15:53 > 0:15:59But you love it here, Ka, you do. Can you at least think about it? Please?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07So there's no guarantee of work and we'd lose all our money if we didn't.
0:16:07 > 0:16:13- It's a risk.- We've got kids. We can't take risks.- I've got a kid.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Sarah's hardly going to let her starve, is she?- Found any work yet?
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- You know I haven't.- Look, I know... - Everything is a risk, we know.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22This redundancy money is all we've got coming.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27OK, you've got two little ones and, yeah, that makes things hard for you,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- but we all want the same thing. - Do we?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Work, to look after a family, more than that.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36We could have some control over our lives.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39If we can afford it.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46SHELL: So, um, we can show you a projection
0:16:46 > 0:16:50of the... Oh, sorry, I've skipped a bit...
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Well, is it in here?
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Yes, just give me a minute.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Well, why don't I just...?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Yeah, well, I'm looking for it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01If we can assume stability in the first six months,
0:17:01 > 0:17:06our turnover in the third quarter should allow us a profit, which is the bit I know you're interested in.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Well, I certainly am.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14This is all pretty ambitious.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- It's a viable model. - Up and running, yeah.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I notice you've skimmed over the strength of your order book.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20We're working on it.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25And you're also reliant on a lot of grants and incentives, which you simply don't have yet.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28But which we've applied for and are confident about.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Just at the bottom.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I know you know your stuff.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- How is, Rob, by the way? I haven't seen him at golf for a while.- Busy.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Busy work.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40So are you going to lend us the money, or not?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Look, this is off the record, you understand.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54The only reason this branch is here in Trefynydd is because of the bakery.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58And because of the mini-mart, the garage, the Chinese, the Social Club,
0:17:58 > 0:18:03all those little businesses Valley Bara supports.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07They all trot in here on Monday morning wanting to bank their cash.
0:18:07 > 0:18:14Look, if Valley Bara stays closed, it's not just 50 jobs gone, it's 50 families leaving.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Or cutting back to the bone, and that means
0:18:17 > 0:18:23that's the end of the Chinese, the pub, this branch.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Look, I'd have to get it approved,
0:18:28 > 0:18:33but if you can bring me a good strong order book, then I can use this as leverage.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- With you in charge financially, that's a big plus.- Well, I...
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Are you going to give us 200 grand?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Well, if you lot can come up with the other 200 grand.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Thank you.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I said I'd help, Shelly, just for this meeting.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Look, it's not ideal for either of us but, clearly, we need you.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- It didn't think you'd want me involved.- It's not about me.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02It's about all of us.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05As far as the buyout is concerned, you're a gift horse.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07And I won't look you in the mouth.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Honey!
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- I'm home!- Cutting it a bit fine.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Am I?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Oh, God!
0:19:34 > 0:19:35You forgot.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37The opera.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Well, it's all right, there's still time to change.- I can't.- Why not?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Um, I got some work to do.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49- Well, if it's late, I can manage. - It's for Shelly, the bakery and the buyout.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Sorry, I didn't tell you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54What are you doing for them?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Finance packaging, funding applications... - Are they other paying you?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I'm just helping out.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01And it has to be done tonight?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04I'm sorry, I have a meeting tomorrow.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- I said I'd have all the work done. - Meeting?- Mm-hm.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Better get a move on.- OK.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Do you have to go?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Well, it sponsor's night. Good networking.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20That's why I booked it.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- I'm so...- Sorry?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Sorry.- Me too.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31I knew you were helping them out.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I had an e-mail from Dan at the bank.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- He said you'd been in with the buyout brigade.- Oh.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39He assumed I knew.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Sorry, I think I got the wrong house.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- I did a bit of cleaning and tidying. - A bit(?)
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Well, how did it go?- Good. Brilliant.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24You should have been there.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26How long is it going to be like this?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Like what? - You're acting like I'm not here.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- I ring Owen, he doesn't answer. - What do you expect, Rich?
0:21:32 > 0:21:36We're out there, working our arses off, and what are you doing?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- I cleaned the whole house today. - Yeah, and the bad news is you don't get paid for that.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41If you did, I'd be a millionaire.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Hardly.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Talking of money,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48the bank is lending us 200 grand.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- How much?- Sarah knocked them for six.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Sarah's on board now?
0:21:55 > 0:21:59She's giving us a hand, yeah, cos she thinks we can do it.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02So why don't you?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I don't want the responsibility.
0:22:06 > 0:22:12I just want a job where I turn up, do the work, get paid, go home. That's all.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- I had a job like that.- Yeah, me too.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56I thought, er...
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I could stay at my mum's tonight.

0:24:24 > 0:24:28Hang on a minute, I want to talk to you about this buyout.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33You'll be getting a redundancy payout and you need a job. I want you to put in.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39- I'll only get a couple of hundred. - Yeah, we need all we can get.- That's my money. I want to buy a car.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- What, for 200 quid?! - I can do it up.- No.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- I've already said.- You what?
0:24:47 > 0:24:54My mate Steve, he's, um, he's selling his. A bit of a wreck, got a week left on the MoT.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Yeah, but the buyout will get you a job.- I'll get a job.- Where?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- With a car I can go all over. - With your one GCSE?
0:25:02 > 0:25:07Listen, I got you that job with the bakery and I want you to put into this buyout.
0:25:10 > 0:25:17- So the good news is the Community Finance Initiative have agreed to loan us 50 grand.- That's brilliant.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20That's a quarter of what we need to raise.
0:25:20 > 0:25:26I mean, that's fantastic, but the bad news is everyone else is going to need longer than three weeks.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Plenty of goodwill, just no cash.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35But if we know they're going to give it to us, can't we ask the bank to cover the shortfall,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- just until it all comes through? - Yeah, we can try,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40but I can't see that happening.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41I've got more bad news.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43About our order book.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48Valley Bara closing overnight left our customers high and dry. They had to find other suppliers.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53- And they're not interested in coming back.- What, none of them? - Well, um...
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- one canteen and a burger van. - That's not enough.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Nowhere near enough.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03All right, well, you're going to have to try and find new buyers, aren't you? And quickly.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- Shell, we can put our heads together on that.- OK.- OK.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Sair?- Mm-hm? - There is one other thing.- What?
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Um, if we manage to do this, buy the bakery and get in there,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23please will you be our finance manager?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Please?
0:26:25 > 0:26:31I mean, you know we need one, it's in the business plan. You said it. And you're doing so much already.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- Hang on.- We couldn't have done this without you, Sair.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38I said now might not be the time to ask, but I was outvoted.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Well, it's not just my decision, is it?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44No, but you could, couldn't you?
0:26:44 > 0:26:50- I mean, would you like to, if you can?- I'll think about it.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Meanwhile, there are bigger things to be thinking about. OK, where your customers are.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02So who did Valley Bara sell to before?
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Service stations. - Prisons, hospitals.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Captive audiences.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Which makes sense. Our pies were awful.- No, they weren't awful.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Oh, they were.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Scrag ends of lamb, flour from China, stock from a chicken from God knows where.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21It wasn't a bakery, it was an assembly line and you could taste it.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Whereas THIS...
0:27:23 > 0:27:25See for yourself.
0:27:25 > 0:27:31- They look good. - Lamb from Brecon, beef from Hereford, spuds from Pembrokeshire.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- How much does it cost?- More per unit, but not as much as you think.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Mmm...
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Every local supplier we contacted was dying to do a deal. They're desperate for business.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Local produce.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- It's a marketing opportunity. - So why weren't we doing this before?
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Well, it wasn't up to you. The parent company had Valley Bara
0:27:50 > 0:27:54on the same deal as all their other bakeries all over Europe. The cheapest option for them.
0:27:54 > 0:28:00We're too small to do that, so with our own recipes and local suppliers, we do it better.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- That's the gap in the market. And that's how we win new customers. - How long have we got?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Three weeks.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15Hello, I'm phoning from Valley Bara head office. I was just wondering...
0:28:15 > 0:28:17The new management is a damn sight better...
0:28:17 > 0:28:20There are special offers for new customers..
0:28:20 > 0:28:26So can one of our sales team come in and discuss it? Great, we're on our way.
0:28:36 > 0:28:42So, you sell produce to us, we make you some of our famous rustic pies...
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- Then you sell it here as a unique farm line.- Plus you get our friendly, personal service.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49So, how big is your order?
0:29:00 > 0:29:03What's a beautiful woman like you doing in a place like this?
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Don't tell me, you're only in it for the bread.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09I'm from Valley Bara local bakery.
0:29:26 > 0:29:32Excuse me, young lady, you wouldn't have honey-baked rolls with mixed seeds, would you?
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Or, um, soda bread, or walnut and rye,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39or, um, focaccia?
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Um, I'll just ask.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Gay couple on table nine want some poncey bread.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Told you not to wear that shirt.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55I know you're upset.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57I'm sorry, I really do apologise.
0:29:58 > 0:30:04Yeah, I appreciate you feel let down and that you expect better.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10Yeah, and that you want to speak to someone more important.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14I can only apologise.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17I'm sorry.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25You've got one grant through and in the bank, the promise of redundancy money - the amount to be confirmed -
0:30:25 > 0:30:27and more promises from these other backers.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Time was always going to be your problem.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- That's why we need to extend our loan.- It's for a couple of weeks. A month, tops.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35And what if your grants don't come through?
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- Half these agencies might not exist next month.- Well, they will.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Well, they promised.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44It's not enough.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49I'm sorry, but the loan stands at £200,000.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19It's very good of you.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25with the buy-out brigade.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27To help run the bakery, as finance manager.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30For a moment, I thought you meant a proper job.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Well, it's the same sort of work as I do for you.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34It's just they don't have anybody with my skills.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I bet they don't.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39It'd be good for me, too, you know, a job.

0:31:42 > 0:31:46Look, it might never happen. The bid might not be successful.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Please tell me you're not serious. - Why wouldn't I be?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- I thought you wanted to do more with your life?- Yeah, I do.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55What about Glasgow?
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Why does wanting to do more mean moving away?
0:31:59 > 0:32:02This place is finished. There was precious little here to start with.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Which is why they're going for the buyout.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Oh, come on. What?
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Business isn't social work, Sarah.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12I know that.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- Well, can we have a Plan B for when the buyout fails? - Why would you say that?
0:32:15 > 0:32:21- They don't know what they're doing. - Which is why they've asked me to help.- They'll need more than you.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Yeah, I'm sure they will.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- So we're putting Glasgow on hold, is it? - Oh, I don't want to move to Glasgow.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33This is where my friends are, where my family are.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37I don't want to see this place become a ghost town. This is where I'm from, and you, too.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47- When I heard that the bakery was closing, I was glad.- What?!
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- I thought, "Finally something'll change."- How can you be so selfish?

0:34:48 > 0:34:50Stealing, it is! You're no better than a thief!
0:34:50 > 0:34:54There's a full tank of petrol in there. Are you going to pay me back?
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- Dad!- Oh, what are you looking at?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Owen.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10- Rob.- Just dropping some of Elen's things off.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Can I have a lift? To school?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Yeah, yeah, sure.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- Sorry about your car.- Really?!
0:35:33 > 0:35:35PHONE RINGS
0:35:39 > 0:35:41You had any mail yet?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44'No, why?'
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Redundancy's been paid.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48So that's in our accounts now?
0:35:48 > 0:35:49'Yep.'
0:35:51 > 0:35:53It's crunch time.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01Bills, bills...
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- ..Bills.- Give them to Bill, then!
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Well, well.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Thanks for the lift.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22See you later, alligator.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- I'm 15!- Sorry.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- Elen, do you think your mum's all right?- What do you mean?
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Is she happy?
0:37:32 > 0:37:33Don't know.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Yeah, she is now.- Now?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Cos she's busy with the buyout.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Not stuck in the house all the time.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Hey.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Yeah, well, you better go.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10You got a car, then?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Yep. Well, it's a bit battered but I can fix it up.
0:38:13 > 0:38:18- It smells.- I thought that was you. - Shut up!
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- Oh, come on, it's one more car than your dad's got.- Shut up!
0:38:22 > 0:38:25What are you going to do now you've got it?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Don't know. Get another job.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- In Cardiff?- Maybe.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Will it get that far?
0:38:31 > 0:38:32Oi!
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Dad told me to put the money into the buyout.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38He thinks the bakery's as good as I'll get.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40It's not up to him.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41No.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43I'm not much on paper, though.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47No qualifications. I wouldn't know what to put on a CV.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49- You could lie.- They'd rumble me.
0:38:49 > 0:38:55- You're 19, you can do what you want. - It's not that easy.- Why not?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Hello, you're speaking to Rich. Can I take...?
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, I just need to take...
0:39:15 > 0:39:21I need to take... Yes, I'm sorry, I just need to take YOUR NAME!
0:39:30 > 0:39:37Right, just so we know where we are, these are the customers who've agreed to make us their main supplier.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38Now, if we're successful,
0:39:38 > 0:39:44this is work we've got for definite for the next three months.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47And there are people out there willing to back us.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49So we need to decide,
0:39:49 > 0:39:52are we willing to back ourselves?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54We're so close now.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55And I just want to say,
0:39:55 > 0:40:00look how far we've come. The money we've raised and the work we've found.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03It's a big risk, we all know that.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07You've all had your redundancy paid, and I know what you're thinking.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12Few thousand quid each just to have a job, except it isn't just a job.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15It's a chance to do something for ourselves.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17To take control.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22For our families, our community, our lives.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26And everyone who's pledged money to pay it in, for real.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29So, please, remember why you're here.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31And what we stand to gain.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Tomorrow, we need those cheques.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49- Hello.- Hello.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Found your mail, then?
0:40:52 > 0:40:54Yeah.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- Redundancy money got paid.- Yeah.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00How's work?
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Er, I go off on my own,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06I come back on my own.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10I hate it there and nobody's talking to me either.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14I haven't seen you for two weeks.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16- I can't do it. - Well, you said we needed a breather.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- I didn't mean it. - Then why did you say it?
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- You said you didn't need me. - Well, I didn't mean it.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23- Then why did you say it? - I was angry at you.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26I felt like everything was against us and then you were too.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28I just... I just thought
0:41:28 > 0:41:31that if I got a job, then I could put the redundancy
0:41:31 > 0:41:34towards the wedding and that would be the right thing to do.
0:41:34 > 0:41:39- It wasn't.- I know, I'm an idiot. - No, I'm a cow.- No, you're not.
0:41:39 > 0:41:44Stop arguing with me. Look, I don't want you taking any old job.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48I want you doing the job you want.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55- That's gone.- Look, I don't want to push you into anything...
0:41:57 > 0:41:58But you want me to join the buyout?
0:41:58 > 0:42:00I want you to join the buyout.
0:42:00 > 0:42:05- So you just want me for my money, then?- Oh, always.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- And the wedding?- It'll have to wait.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16If that's what it takes to make things right between us...
0:42:19 > 0:42:20..you can count me in.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30- Owen's not going to be an arse, is he?- Course he is. He's Owen.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44Come in. It's not locked.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48- You're in, then?- Yeah.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51Shell said you would be.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Right, well, if you've come here to talk my ear off, I got work.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Shut up a minute!
0:42:56 > 0:42:58I left messages for you.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Is that the deal, then? If I'm not in on the buyout, we're not mates any more?
0:43:06 > 0:43:10I've got to believe that this is going to work and I do, mostly.
0:43:10 > 0:43:15But then there's this voice in the back of my head telling me that I'm an idiot for even trying it
0:43:15 > 0:43:17and it's all going to fail.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20And I can't afford to listen to that or anyone else who thinks that.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28It wasn't about trusting you or Shell or anyone.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30I was just scared.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33And now?
0:43:33 > 0:43:35The thought of you in charge,
0:43:35 > 0:43:37I'm terrified.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42But I'm in.
0:43:46 > 0:43:52Shelly said I should probably stay and get drunk with you.
0:43:52 > 0:43:53Well, if Shelly said...
0:43:58 > 0:44:02So, how's it going to go tomorrow?
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Do you think everyone will put in?
0:44:06 > 0:44:07I don't know.
0:44:19 > 0:44:20Room service.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28- Oh, what's all this? - Oh, just breakfast.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32And an olive branch. We haven't been talking to each other.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35I know, I'm sorry.
0:44:35 > 0:44:40No, no, no, I need to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I've taken you for granted,
0:44:40 > 0:44:45- that I haven't valued you enough. I haven't told you or Elen how much I love you.- Rob.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48If you want to take that job at Valley Bara, take it.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50I just want you to be happy.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52What about you? You don't want to stay here.
0:44:52 > 0:44:57- You said you belonged here, I've just never felt like that.- Why not?
0:44:57 > 0:44:58I don't fit in.
0:44:58 > 0:45:02- Huh?- I don't wear my heart on my sleeve,
0:45:02 > 0:45:05I don't like rugby, I can't even sing.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Why I was born Welsh I have no idea.
0:45:11 > 0:45:12I only stayed because of you.
0:45:12 > 0:45:18- Oh.- But I've never made any effort to be part of your life, I've just wanted you to be part of mine.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23Now I want to belong.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25- Can I talk now?- No, not yet.- OK.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28I asked you to marry before, but it wasn't...
0:45:28 > 0:45:31really much of a proposal.
0:45:32 > 0:45:36Sarah...will you be my wife?
0:45:41 > 0:45:45Look...I know it hasn't been good between us recently.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47But I just want to forget all that and start now as we mean to go on.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50And whatever's happened, can we just wipe the slate clean?
0:45:50 > 0:45:53Please?
0:45:55 > 0:45:56Yes.
0:45:58 > 0:45:59Yes, we can.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20Me first.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25This is for me and Nathan.
0:46:26 > 0:46:30- Is it him putting in or you? - He'll pay me back.

0:46:53 > 0:46:57- All right, darling, give us a ride. - Where you going?- Down the club.
0:46:57 > 0:46:59A bit early, even for you.
0:46:59 > 0:47:03I'll need a drink after handing this over. My buyout stake.
0:47:03 > 0:47:07- I wasted three cheques, kept messing them up. You been down then?- No.
0:47:07 > 0:47:10- Plenty of time, I just don't trust myself to wait.- I'm not going.
0:47:10 > 0:47:11I thought you were in.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14- I thought everyone was. - It's too much.- Tell me about it.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16You haven't got family, Ka.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18I've still got to live. I've got bills and rent to pay, same as you.
0:47:18 > 0:47:23I can get agency work driving. It's not great but it doesn't cost me anything.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25The buyout doesn't make sense for me.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27Well, what about the rest of us?
0:47:27 > 0:47:30What happens if you not putting in screws it up for everyone else?
0:47:30 > 0:47:31I won't be the only one, Karen.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28Sometimes I wonder how much time we've got left.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32How we should spend it.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40You know I'd do anything for you.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00Two hours, no-one.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Well, give them a chance.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28Kitchen drawer of all places.
0:49:28 > 0:49:34- I can't remember the last time I wrote a cheque.- It's not too late.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37We can still change our minds, that money's in the bank now.
0:49:40 > 0:49:46We used to talk about going back to college, when we were back on our feet with the kids.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Yeah, we never have been.
0:49:48 > 0:49:49Until now.

0:50:23 > 0:50:27- Just us.- I see.

0:52:34 > 0:52:37OK, um,
0:52:37 > 0:52:42there has got to be something we haven't thought of. There's got to be something that we haven't done.
0:52:45 > 0:52:46OK.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48OK.
0:52:48 > 0:52:49What do you mean, OK?
0:52:49 > 0:52:53I can put in £40,000.
0:52:53 > 0:52:57- What?!- You want Sarah on board, you can have me too.
0:53:00 > 0:53:06- I know how to build a business. I'd be keeping an eye on my investment. - You can't.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09- Why not.- It's too much. It's too much money, Rob, you can't.- Sarah,
0:53:09 > 0:53:13some of the others have put in everything they've got.
0:53:13 > 0:53:18- The bakery is everything they've got.- You're everything I've got.- No, I don't want you doing this for me.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Why not?
0:53:23 > 0:53:30All right. It's not just for you. It's for everyone. For everyone who has lot their jobs and want it back.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33OK, is that better?
0:53:33 > 0:53:35- What's the catch?- There's no catch.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38Obviously, as a major investor, I want a say in how it's run.
