0:00:03 > 0:00:05You haven't used any of your skills,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07any of the things you claim that you're experts at.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09A disgusting result.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15You're fired. You're fired. You're fired.
0:00:15 > 0:00:20You're fired. You're fired.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24I would like to exit the process. You're doing my job for me.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27You're fired. You're fired.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31You're fired. You're fired. You're fired.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35APPLAUSE
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Good evening, I'm Jack Dee. Welcome to The Apprentice: You're Fired.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48This week five candidates were grilled to within an inch of their lives
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and we said goodbye to three of them.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54But more importantly we also say goodbye to a dear friend.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57# Goodbye, my friend
0:00:57 > 0:01:00# I know you're gone You said you're gone
0:01:00 > 0:01:01# But I can still feel you here
0:01:01 > 0:01:05# It's not the end... #
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Goodbye. We'll miss you.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Not to be outdone, Gary was determined to add a sense of drama
0:01:13 > 0:01:15to his own morning routine.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19LAUGHTER
0:01:19 > 0:01:22And Vana showed off her interview technique.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Lesson one, make sure you get off to a good start.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Erm... So do you want me to give you a little
0:01:26 > 0:01:29bit of background about why I know there's an opportunity?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Because obviously that's going to be your first question.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Why don't you let me ask the first question rather than predicting it?
0:01:35 > 0:01:36LAUGHTER
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Lesson two, speak when you're bloody well spoken to.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Joining me tonight, our very own interview panel.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Former Apprentice winner, recruitment consultant Ricky Martin,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49former corporate lawyer, comedian Susan Calman,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51and form a queue for the exit, it's Romesh Ranganathan.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Welcome to You're Fired.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56APPLAUSE
0:01:58 > 0:02:00So tonight three candidates were fired.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04The first to go was hoping her plan for her hairdressing academy
0:02:04 > 0:02:06would be a cut above...
0:02:06 > 0:02:07MILD LAUGHTER
0:02:07 > 0:02:11In the end... In the end Lord Sugar said "salon" to her.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Now I accept that my pun writing business plan needs work
0:02:14 > 0:02:19but, Lord Sugar, I still believe it could make us both a lot of money.
0:02:19 > 0:02:25Charleine, I do admire your drive, your inspiration
0:02:25 > 0:02:27and your hard work and efforts.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33But it is with regret, Charleine, that you're fired.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Thank you, Lord Sugar. Thank you, Karren. Thank you, Claude.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Charleine Wain.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Charleine.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Very popular here and all that but, I have to say,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01watching four interviews in one day,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03that looks harder than doing one of the tasks.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08I just spotted one there. Yeah. She's stalking you.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Yeah. If she's any trouble, let me know. I'll get rid of her.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13I've been crying since.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Yeah, well... We might hear a little bit more from Linda
0:03:16 > 0:03:18and the others in a minute.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21OK, right from the beginning we knew you were very,
0:03:21 > 0:03:26very ambitious but let's have a look at why you ended up getting fired tonight.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30"I will be a worldwide hairdressing brand." Yes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34"I will top Toni and Guy." Very big statements.
0:03:34 > 0:03:40The thing is, having one salon is quite different to having a franchise.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Her expectations are probably beyond her ability.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49I say very respectfully that in order to start off
0:03:49 > 0:03:53a franchising chain... You've got to be big in a big city.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Never mind a big city. I mean you've just got to be big, period.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I felt for you there, Charleine, but you know what?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Claude, what does he know about hairdressing? Think about it.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07A few shoe shines. Yeah.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12LAUGHTER
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Say what you want now, can't you?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Thinking back now, do you slightly wish you'd
0:04:18 > 0:04:21tailored your plan as you went along to something more achievable?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Yeah, definitely.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26And I take everything that they said onboard
0:04:26 > 0:04:29and I will 100% expand within my area, grow in the south-west,
0:04:29 > 0:04:33eventually work my way up and then maybe Claude might invest in me.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36You never know. You never know. In the end he might do.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40So, Ricky, when you were a candidate did you find the interviews the hardest part?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42The interviews are horrible.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It's hard unless you've been on the process to realise just how
0:04:45 > 0:04:48horrible it is cos you've been in this thing for 11 weeks
0:04:48 > 0:04:51and you're scared to death of the interviews.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53So it was hard. Very, very hard.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Obviously you know you're going to be stressed out and worried about saying the wrong thing
0:04:56 > 0:04:58or doing the wrong thing like, I don't know,
0:04:58 > 0:05:02getting up and leaving at the wrong time. No, don't worry.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03We're not... I haven't got that clip
0:05:03 > 0:05:05so I can't actually...
0:05:05 > 0:05:09What? Oh, we have got that clip. I'm sorry. Let's have a look at it.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13I'm going to bring David and Joseph back in. Clever boys.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Where are you going? Oh, do I not...?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16LAUGHTER
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Well done. Well, I 100% thought I would be brought back into the boardroom.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28There was three boys and I thought, you know, "Statistics,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30"the boys are going to bring me back in."
0:05:30 > 0:05:32So it was like, "See you later, boys."
0:05:32 > 0:05:36You did handle yourself very well in the interviews and generally
0:05:36 > 0:05:39in the boardroom but last week you got very upset in the boardroom.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Why was that? Tell us.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Because I... Even though I didn't make it to the final, I really,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49really wanted to get to the final five.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53And it just felt like to me I had reached the last hurdle
0:05:53 > 0:05:55and I had let myself down so badly
0:05:55 > 0:05:57and then I was just really disappointed in myself.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I thought you were crying just because you remembered what
0:06:00 > 0:06:02peppermint and pomegranate tasted like.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06God, it was awful! It was awful.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Crying is not, in my view, a sign of weakness
0:06:09 > 0:06:12and I think it was lovely when you did, because it meant a lot to you.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16I cry all the time. I am crying inside right now with you.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19And I think it shows honesty and sincerity in a candidate,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22to be honest. Well, to get the inside track, we have some
0:06:22 > 0:06:24of our interviewers in the audience tonight.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Please welcome Claudine Collins, Mike Soutar
0:06:27 > 0:06:29and, this series' new recruit, Linda Plant.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32APPLAUSE
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Mike, I'll come to you first.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Charleine was a spectacular interviewee, actually,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42despite the fact that I think you felt a bit nervous.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46You stood up to the interrogation every single step of the way
0:06:46 > 0:06:49and I think you can make it, as well. I think you can carve
0:06:49 > 0:06:53yourself out a really distinctive career and I think you can build
0:06:53 > 0:06:56a very successful business, because you have got that tremendous
0:06:56 > 0:07:00work ethic. Thank you. I just want to say, I learnt SO much off
0:07:00 > 0:07:04all three of you and I will take that onboard with me. That's great.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Charleine, being able to sell,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07obviously a massive part of The Apprentice
0:07:07 > 0:07:11and you turned out to be one of the most impressive of the whole series.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Actually, you came third, after Richard and Vana.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Oh, did I? You did, yeah. And you were spectacular on
0:07:17 > 0:07:19the property sales. Yeah, that was big for me.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21You looked thrilled by that. Did you surprise yourself? Yeah.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24I really enjoyed selling, right the way through.
0:07:24 > 0:07:30Obviously, 350,000 for a box-sized flat was crazy!
0:07:30 > 0:07:32But, yeah, I really enjoyed it.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I started to really look forward to the bits where you were negotiating,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38selling or buying, cos I loved the way you closed the deal.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41You have got this magical technique. Let's remind ourselves of it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44?58, you have got a deal. ?58.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Do we have a sale today? We do. Well done!
0:07:48 > 0:07:52She shakes from above and down. It's like, "Have we got a...deal?"
0:07:52 > 0:07:56So, have we got a deal? Can we double our stock with you today?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58?80. Perfect. We have a deal.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It's like, what is this? It's like a salute...
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Congratulations on your new investment.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Congratulations!
0:08:09 > 0:08:10?3 a bunch.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Deal. Deal! We have a deal.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17There were at least two of these people thought they were just saying
0:08:17 > 0:08:18hello to you.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Where did that come from? Have you always done that?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Is it...? I have only just now realised that I do it!
0:08:24 > 0:08:26You defi... No, come on!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I don't want to wait until the answer! It's a great technique.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Very good. Sadly, Lord Sugar is not going to be investing
0:08:32 > 0:08:35in your business plan. It is a great shame.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Let's see if he has got any advice for you, for the future.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Charleine - a very
0:08:40 > 0:08:43vivacious character. I really, really liked her
0:08:43 > 0:08:46and I'm sure everybody else did, also.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49She took things very, very seriously. Very competitive.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53And very professional, I would say. Sometimes, a little bit naive.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Sometimes, goes a little bit over the top,
0:08:56 > 0:09:01which can alienate people. I think, her going forward
0:09:01 > 0:09:03in her business - which I wish her very well in -
0:09:03 > 0:09:07she has to take onboard that, sometimes, you know, being like
0:09:07 > 0:09:11a sledgehammer and trying to push things through is not necessarily
0:09:11 > 0:09:13the best thing to do all the time.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Some very positive stuff there? Yeah, definitely.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Yeah, I take all that onboard. OK, well, it's time to find out
0:09:20 > 0:09:23whether we agree that Charleine should have been fired tonight.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Ricky, do you think Lord Sugar was right?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29This just wasn't the right thing for you right now, so I think
0:09:29 > 0:09:32the decision was absolutely right. I think I agree with Lord Sugar
0:09:32 > 0:09:36that it was just a bit too much, too soon. It was the right decision.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Romesh? Yeah, I think you are going to make a great success of your
0:09:40 > 0:09:44hairdressing empire. I just think, in terms of your business plan
0:09:44 > 0:09:47for the moment, Lord Sugar was right to fire you, I'm sorry.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Fair enough. So, the audience, if you agree with Lord Sugar,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53hold up "Fired". If you don't, hold up "Hired".
0:09:57 > 0:10:00So, that, I think, that is a "Fired", Charleine.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Oh! But what would they know? Look at the state of them. Yeah!
0:10:04 > 0:10:06LAUGHTER
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Well, look, as you know, nobody leaves You're Fired empty-handed,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13so we had to have a think. You have been such a multitasker,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17what we decided to do was to bring out a special Charleine action doll.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20There we are. Oh! There she is. I love it!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I think that she will be a big hit in the shops at Christmas.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It does all the things. Here, it says in the back,
0:10:25 > 0:10:30"Can sell anything." "Negotiate you a great deal on an anchor."
0:10:30 > 0:10:31LAUGHTER
0:10:31 > 0:10:35That is for you to hang on to. That is for you to keep. Thank you.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38We have really enjoyed watching you. This is no pun, by the way.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Let's have a look at your highlights. Oh!
0:10:43 > 0:10:45The heavy candles are heavy!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Fresh fish fingers sandwiches or calamari!
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Charleine is always there when you need her and she really
0:10:50 > 0:10:53has this ability to make people feel cared for.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56You'd look really posh in the valleys with one of these,
0:10:56 > 0:10:57though, wouldn't you?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59# She always knows her place... #
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Do you want one? And one of them. One of them, as well?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03She is a very, very hard worker.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Very good seller. Very good negotiator.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10OK, we have shook on that! She has got me now! ?12.50. Excellent!
0:11:10 > 0:11:12You could buy a street in Wales for that money!
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Ah-ha-ha! Get in there!
0:11:16 > 0:11:18# Who, whoa, whoa, she's a lady... #
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Ladies and gentlemen, Charleine Wain.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:11:23 > 0:11:24Well...
0:11:26 > 0:11:30..as you know, we lost three candidates from the final five
0:11:30 > 0:11:33and we have still got two more candidates to meet. Who is up next?
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Gary...
0:11:36 > 0:11:37..you take great pride in being
0:11:37 > 0:11:39a corporate fellow,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42but I think your business plan is flawed.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I don't understand it, at all.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50I can't go into business with you.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53You're fired. Thank you, Lord Sugar, for the opportunity.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57And I genuinely wish everyone so well in their future ventures.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Thanks ever so much. Thank you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Gary Poulton!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07APPLAUSE
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Please sit down.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Ah!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Gary... How are you doing? ..good to see you.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Good to see you, too. I think everyone is very surprised by your
0:12:19 > 0:12:23business plan. It seemed like quite a departure from what
0:12:23 > 0:12:26we expected of you. Yeah, I think half my battle was...
0:12:26 > 0:12:29It's no secret that I have been in the corporate world
0:12:29 > 0:12:31for a number of years. Have you?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32LAUGHTER
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Gary, you did not get flustered in the interviews, at all.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38You may have felt like you were, but it didn't look it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Does your corporate background help you with that kind of thing?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Yeah, it's safe to say I was a bit like a swan.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47All right above the surface, but the legs were going underneath. Yeah.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50That is only natural. You have had some highs and lows
0:12:50 > 0:12:53through the whole process. Let's look at how you ended up getting fired.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I am struggling to understand, at all, what the technology bit is
0:12:58 > 0:13:01in this. My product is to bring the event and entertainment to life
0:13:01 > 0:13:05and make it an experience for consumers. You have lost me, sorry.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10Just for me to understand, it's a mobile disco, right?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13It's going to revolutionise the market... I don't think it is.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I cannot see anything else...
0:13:15 > 0:13:17SHE SIGHS ..that exists at the moment.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Maybe cos there isn't a necessity for it.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Obviously, in my mind, I can see it as clear as day.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27I don't get it. Sorry. It's... I don't get it.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Gary, how come no-one got it? I got it, cos it's... I think it's...
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Explain it again.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34LAUGHTER
0:13:34 > 0:13:36There was one bit of it that you said, "You can be in Australia
0:13:36 > 0:13:39"and still be at a party." Is that the thing? Yeah. Absolutely.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42So, all the wedding guests that you don't want to invite,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46you can have them virtually and cut them out... You can have them there.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Karren said that she didn't see you as a party person. A bit harsh.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52But that WAS after the children's party task. Yeah!
0:13:52 > 0:13:56How did you feel that went? Erm, I've probably had better days.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Have you? Definitely, yeah.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Talk me through the "may contain nuts" fiasco.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04LAUGHTER
0:14:04 > 0:14:06David and I was on the assault course
0:14:06 > 0:14:09and the phone call come through. I think it was Joseph and Charleine.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12They said, "Oh, it may contain nuts." My heart did sink,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15if I'm being perfectly honest. Yeah. Erm, I didn't want to put
0:14:15 > 0:14:18my head in the sand. I wanted to go and speak to the parents.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21That was probably the worst thing I did!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Were you trying to style it out, thinking, "Look, the best thing,
0:14:23 > 0:14:27"be honest. I'll tell her it MAY contain nuts and they will probably
0:14:27 > 0:14:30"be cool with it"? Well, if you have got a severe nut allergy,
0:14:30 > 0:14:33what's a couple of nuts between friends? Yeah.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34"You may die if you eat it." Yeah.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36LAUGHTER
0:14:36 > 0:14:39"Eat at your own risk." "At least I was honest." Yeah.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Cos it was at the children's party that we learnt that some people
0:14:43 > 0:14:46call you "Gary the Giraffe". "Gary the Giraffe". And we know that
0:14:46 > 0:14:49you are a man of many names, aren't you? Let's just remind ourselves
0:14:49 > 0:14:51of a few of them.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Some people do call me "Gary the Giraffe", cos I'm a bit tall
0:14:53 > 0:14:56and a bit like that. I have been labelled as this
0:14:56 > 0:14:59corporate guy - "Corporate Gary", "Corporate G".
0:14:59 > 0:15:03I think, throughout the process, Gary has gone from "Corporate Gary"
0:15:03 > 0:15:07to "Gangsta Gary". Mr multinational retailer,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10like, management guy, into some sort of G.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Gary goes, "I'm a G." And I have no idea what that means,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17but apparently, it's some gangsta, Westside thing.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20They have really brought out the street side of me and I am not just
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Corporate G now. I'm just G.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24In my industry, I am known as "The Postman",
0:15:24 > 0:15:26because I ALWAYS deliver.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28LAUGHTER
0:15:28 > 0:15:32APPLAUSE
0:15:32 > 0:15:36All right. Corporate G, as a nickname?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40That is actually longer than Gary. That's not a nickname, technically,
0:15:40 > 0:15:45is it? Erm...in the discount store task, where you did very, very well,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48you were project manager. Yeah. And you were really in your element,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51weren't you? Because you were setting up shop, you had all those
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Toilet World... Toilet World. Definitely in my element there!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57This is one of the reasons why I think you were such a superb
0:15:57 > 0:16:00candidate - because you were always positive. You were in a deserted
0:16:00 > 0:16:04shop in Manchester and you were saying, "Let's walk the shopper
0:16:04 > 0:16:07"round their shopping experience."
0:16:07 > 0:16:09And it was some baskets with toilet roll in it. Yeah.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12But you still went, "No, come on, this is an experience.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14"Let's make this good for the consumer."
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Like you were in Harrods.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17And that's a beautiful thing.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21I was particularly impressed with you when you did the snacks.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I mean, obviously, I wasn't impressed with the snacks,
0:16:24 > 0:16:27but actually what you had there was a nightmare situation,
0:16:27 > 0:16:32where you have to felt-tip out everything on the packet.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36But you still went in and you kept the team going, basically.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38And I thought that was really admirable.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39So, look, sadly,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Lord Sugar isn't going to be investing in your business.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Partly cos he just doesn't understand what it is. But we'll...
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Let's have a look at the advice he's got for you for your future. Great.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Gary, a charming fella, a very nice chap and a very experienced person.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56He was very solid through the tasks.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57He was a calming factor.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00He did some very, very good things.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I personally think that Gary, whatever he does in the future,
0:17:03 > 0:17:05needs to be a little bit more decisive
0:17:05 > 0:17:09and have a clear focus in his mind of what he wants to do.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13And I think if he focuses on that, I think he's going to do OK.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I think that's a very complimentary assessment there.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19You pleased with that? Yeah, fantastic.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Yeah. Just being in the presence of Lord Sugar for a few weeks,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23got a lot of respect for him and, yeah, fantastic.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26That's nice to hear. Will you be more decisive in the future,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28or haven't you made your mind up yet? I don't know yet.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Well, let's see if we agree that Gary should have been fired tonight.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33What do you think, Ricky?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35With that business opportunity with Lord Sugar,
0:17:35 > 0:17:39unfortunately, absolutely had to be fired, there's no two ways about it.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40Yeah. Susan?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Wrong decision. Mobile discos are the future.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Romesh. I do think, in this case,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Lord Sugar was right to fire you with that business plan. OK.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51And so to the audience. If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "Fired".
0:17:51 > 0:17:53If you don't, hold up "Hired".
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Well, I'm afraid, unlike your business plan, that is pretty clear.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01LAUGHTER
0:18:01 > 0:18:05You can see where the family and friends are, anyway. Yeah, exactly!
0:18:05 > 0:18:06That's going for a Fired there.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09But, never mind, as you know, nobody leaves empty-handed.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I do know that, you know, you're going back into the corporate world,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15and you'll be going to a lot of business conferences, no doubt.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Very important people know your name.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20So I got you this, which is a name badge...
0:18:20 > 0:18:24For every nickname you've got, there's a name badge there.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25You can have what you want.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28You've got Gary "The Detail In Retail" Poulton, The G Man,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Corporate Captain, Mr Corporate.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32So that's yours to keep. You keep that.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Brilliant, thanks ever so much. And you can wear those if you want.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Let's have a look at your highlights. Right.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Take a handful out and add to the presentation,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41then we've got our little beauty world.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42So this is our toilet world.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Gary's great fun.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48He also has a very serious, level head on his shoulders.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50And he really wants his full team to do well.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54It's not just about himself with Gary. Gary's about everyone.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56We're doing these at 14.95.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Yeah, why not? Brilliant. Well done. Woohoo!
0:18:58 > 0:19:00No time to kill at the moment.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01It's all about margin here.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I know it might sound nice, but it's all about margin. Remember that.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Go! Go!
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Could you just give me some cash in my pocket?
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Cos I might be able to just do a last-minute cash change.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Oh!
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Lord Sugar. Welcome. Yes.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18HE LAUGHS Let's go!
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Not bad for a Brummie! HE LAUGHS
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Ladies and gentlemen, Gary Poulton!
0:19:23 > 0:19:26APPLAUSE
0:19:26 > 0:19:31Well, before we leave base camp and climb the business growth mountain
0:19:31 > 0:19:34to break through the clouds and reach the summit of the show,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37there's still one candidate left to meet.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Richard, you've done extremely well in the process.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44So you've obviously got something there.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47But I've decided I'm going to take a gamble
0:19:47 > 0:19:49by allowing Vana into the final.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51So, Richard...
0:19:51 > 0:19:53you're fired.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Thank you very much. Thank you, Karren. Thank you, Claude.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Thank you, Lord Sugar.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Good luck.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Richard Woods!
0:20:08 > 0:20:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Good to see you.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22That's how you make an entrance. That's how you make an entrance.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24What the hell were you doing?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Is this not Manchester's newest discount store?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29I-I must have missed that episode.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32You didn't let the marks drop at all, did you?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I mean, even when Mike tore you apart, you still went back to
0:20:35 > 0:20:38the other candidates and said, "Yeah, that went pretty well." I know!
0:20:38 > 0:20:42Oh, I'm still so gutted about it as well but, yeah, I had this
0:20:42 > 0:20:45whole persona going on and, you know, I'm a confident person.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47You had many personas going on.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Yeah, I know it might be painful,
0:20:48 > 0:20:52but let's have another look at why you ended up being fired tonight.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55"A fully managed and implemented business growth campaign
0:20:55 > 0:20:59"that starts with a focused base camp to remove the clouds
0:20:59 > 0:21:03"from the clients' business growth mountain."
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Well, I think you're the type of guy that feels you can write
0:21:06 > 0:21:09a lot of bullshit and no-one will see the truth underneath.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10You've been rumbled.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13The idea that what he's trying to present here
0:21:13 > 0:21:16is something that's completely new - it's false.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I don't see them as being the same businesses.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22They just happen to be described the same way.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26I know Lord Sugar has called you Tricky Dicky on the boardroom.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28And I'm beginning to get a sense of why.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Aaaaargh...
0:21:31 > 0:21:33I've thrown it away.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Oh, Richard. Oh, it still is so painful,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38and I felt like I just had my hands tied
0:21:38 > 0:21:42because I knew what I really wanted to present,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44but I was just completely left-fielded by their saying,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48"You're already doing this." And, yeah, probably.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I probably was. But it wasn't the only problem.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Did you really only realise during your interview with Linda
0:21:53 > 0:21:55that you were - how shall I say this? -
0:21:55 > 0:21:58talking bullshit? Oh! Or did you...?
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Oh, look... Linda, I have had nightmares about you
0:22:02 > 0:22:04since the start of this, honestly.
0:22:04 > 0:22:05You tore me apart.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07And, I...you know...
0:22:07 > 0:22:10You gave me the ammunition! I know!
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Yeah, in all honesty, it...
0:22:13 > 0:22:16There was glitches in what I was trying to put across
0:22:16 > 0:22:18and I can completely understand
0:22:18 > 0:22:19the way that these guys took it apart.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23The interview that you did, Linda, legendary,
0:22:23 > 0:22:29because you said what I've been shouting at the TV for weeks now,
0:22:29 > 0:22:30which is... It was just...
0:22:30 > 0:22:32You just stopped him - "Bullshit".
0:22:32 > 0:22:35And I think once someone says that three times to you,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37you know there's probably a problem there.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39LAUGHTER
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Why did it take you so long to come clean about the fact
0:22:41 > 0:22:45that your business plan wasn't quite as unique as you were making out?
0:22:45 > 0:22:46I think, when it comes down to it,
0:22:46 > 0:22:50I was so excited about this business plan that I ended up starting it before I actually applied,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53then realised that the thing I'm presenting, I'm already doing,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56so I was...yeah, I was swimming up-water then.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Well, good for you for admitting it. I mean, let's talk to Claudine.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01What did you think?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03You're such a credible candidate.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05You're obviously incredibly intelligent.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08You know, you're going to make a success of your business.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10You didn't need all that waffle at all.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14In fact, by the time you got to me, I was the last interviewer,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16you had been de-waffled,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18you were kind of on your knees, really,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20you were really knackered, weren't you?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22And I saw the real you.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Tricky Dicky was one of the names you picked up.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Another one, you were named after a certain comedy character, if you remember...
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Let's remind ourselves why that might have been.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33The time is now. It is our moment.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36He looks like David Brent, don't he?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Simple, clean, on-message.
0:23:40 > 0:23:41Hiya, madam.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I do wonder whether Richard has bought a management book
0:23:44 > 0:23:46and read it cover-to-cover before he came here.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49It's like a river and you've just got to guide it
0:23:49 > 0:23:51in the right direction.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54My core thing was to be able to let the creatives be creatives.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56I'll get the fishing rod out -
0:23:56 > 0:23:58you're walking so fast...!
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Sub-team extraordinaire?
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Remember, today, the first money saved
0:24:02 > 0:24:03is the first made.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I can't even remember what it's like to lose.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08IRON HISSES
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Winning - yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12RICHARD GROANS Or, as I call it,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14"Shh...ironing."
0:24:14 > 0:24:17"Shh...almost winning."
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Romesh, what did you think of Richard's sales techniques?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Throughout the whole process,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25you've been absolutely smashing it, there's no doubt about it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27The way you've managed, the way you've sold,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29and week by week,
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I have prayed for you to fail.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33But I want you to take that as a complement,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35because it's a sign of how good you are as a candidate.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Very nice compliment, very nice. Yeah, yeah.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I want you to take it as a compliment
0:24:40 > 0:24:42that I wanted to see you crushed and destroyed.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Of course I take it as a compliment, of course(!)
0:24:46 > 0:24:48OK, well, Richard, sadly, as we know,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Lord Sugar is not going to be investing in your business,
0:24:51 > 0:24:55but he's surely got some advice for you, so let's have a look at that.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Richard - a very intelligent chap.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01He was the project manager in the advertising task
0:25:01 > 0:25:04and I have to say that the advertising task this year
0:25:04 > 0:25:07was one of the best I've ever seen.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10My piece of advice to Richard would be
0:25:10 > 0:25:12he has to drop this thing about,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15"It's all me, and no-one else",
0:25:15 > 0:25:18because you're not going to get teams around you
0:25:18 > 0:25:20or employees to want to work with you
0:25:20 > 0:25:23if you're never going to give anybody else
0:25:23 > 0:25:25the credit for doing things
0:25:25 > 0:25:30and so he needs to improve that side of his nature.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35So, some good advice there. Are you going to work on your teamwork?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Yeah, I think I have to - I've got aspirations to grow
0:25:38 > 0:25:41a massive company and you just can't do that on your own,
0:25:41 > 0:25:43so it's great advice and... Good.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45..I'd always take it onboard from Lord Sugar.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Time to find out whether we agree whether Richard should have been fired tonight.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Ricky, do you think Richard was the right person to go?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54He was - part of a business investment is not just the proposition,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56it's the person behind it,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59and I think you and Lord Sugar would tear each other apart, so...
0:25:59 > 0:26:00It's a Fired, yes.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Susan? Em... You're very talented and intelligent man,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07but sadly, you essentially answered the question wrongly
0:26:07 > 0:26:10when Lord Sugar addressed it to you about the business.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12The business was already with your brother as well.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14It was the right decision to fire you, I think.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Romesh? Uh, Richard, I think you're a phenomenal candidate -
0:26:17 > 0:26:20really, really strong across the board.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22But I think cos of having a duplicate business already,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25I think Lord Sugar was right to fire you in this instance.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Mm, OK - and over to the audience.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up "Fired",
0:26:31 > 0:26:33if you disagree, hold up "Hired".
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I think that is a Fired, in fairness. Pretty comprehensive, that.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Don't worry - just go back and say you were hired.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44LAUGHTER That's your style.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Well, listen, Richard,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48as you know, no-one leaves You're Fired empty-handed,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52so I had a thought, and I remember you saying you described yourself
0:26:52 > 0:26:54as a Swiss Army knife of business skills. Yes.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57With that in mind, got you this,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00which is a special Apprentice Swiss Army knife.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04It's got a little beard trimmer on it there. Yeah.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08This one here is for sharpening your imaginary ice skates. I like that.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Where's the cake maker? There's a cake maker there
0:27:10 > 0:27:12and this one cuts out the waffle.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16RICHARD LAUGHS That's yours to keep, all right?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Fantastic. You've been a great candidate, a good guest.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Let's have a look at your highlights.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I'm like a Swiss Army knife of business skills.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I actually want to be the charming, bumbling English guy.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Come here, you! Aw, Beverly...
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Oh, yeah.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Richard has some certain qualities
0:27:33 > 0:27:35that irritated me at the start.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Yo, yo, yo!
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Hello, super sub-team.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41But now, I've changed my perception and they actually make me laugh
0:27:41 > 0:27:43and I think he's a lovely man.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45THEY LAUGH
0:27:45 > 0:27:48It's Richard's way or the highway,
0:27:48 > 0:27:52but when you get to know him, you can't help but warm to him.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55That is the most amazing sandwich that your husband will eat today.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Might put my feet up! HE LAUGHS
0:27:58 > 0:28:02In all the years that I have run this task in this boardroom,
0:28:02 > 0:28:03this has got to be one of the best.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I'll get a coffee. See you later, mate.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07I'll be outside...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Ladies and gentlemen, Richard Woods.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Well, that's all for tonight.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Thank you to Ricky, Susan and, of course, Romesh,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and our interviewers, Claudine, Mike and Linda.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25So, there are just two candidates left and only one task to go.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26It's the final.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29For your final task, I want you to launch your businesses.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32He's going to be the brains behind it, so it's something that
0:28:32 > 0:28:34makes sense, because he actually has a PhD in desire.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Well, I have my vision and I know what I want.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39It's hard to now think of something else that's going to work.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Is this possible with ?250,000?
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Obviously, we're hoping to come to London at some point.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Would it be possible to take your card?
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Is there any story why you went into that industry?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Cos I was expelled from school?
0:28:51 > 0:28:52LAUGHTER
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Look at this. This is my stage, Gary.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Whoa!
0:28:57 > 0:28:58It's very, very difficult.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02You couldn't get a wider difference between the businesses.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07You are going to be my business partner.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10If, like Vana and Joseph, you think you've got what it takes
0:29:10 > 0:29:12to be Lord Sugar's business partner, go to...
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Applications are now open to take part in next year's series.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22As an early Christmas treat, we'll be back this Sunday
0:29:22 > 0:29:24over on BBC One - don't forget -
0:29:24 > 0:29:26straight after the final for You're Hired, where,
0:29:26 > 0:29:30alongside Romesh, I'll be joined by the big boss man himself, Lord Sugar.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Goodnight.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33APPLAUSE
