You haven't used any of your skills,

0:00:020:00:03

any of the things that you claim you're experts in.

0:00:030:00:06

A disgusting result. I don't want to hear anything more from you.

0:00:060:00:09

You're fired.

0:00:090:00:10

You're fired.

0:00:100:00:11

You're fired.

0:00:110:00:13

APPLAUSE

0:00:130:00:15

CHEERING Thank you very much!

0:00:190:00:21

Thank you, good evening. I'm Jack Dee.

0:00:210:00:23

Welcome to The Apprentice: You're Fired!

0:00:230:00:25

This week, the candidates organised two children's parties

0:00:250:00:29

and Selina realised straight away she had a dilemma.

0:00:290:00:32

I don't have children and I don't like them.

0:00:320:00:34

Well, that's sorted then - book some clowns.

0:00:340:00:37

Gary showed off his expert knowledge of how the human body works.

0:00:370:00:40

Not only was it the lost revenue of just under £200,

0:00:400:00:43

he left a sour taste in the client's eye at the end of the day.

0:00:430:00:46

LAUGHTER

0:00:460:00:48

Just don't ask to look at his elbow.

0:00:480:00:50

And in the boardroom, Joseph showed off his knowledge

0:00:500:00:53

of the crazy '90s rave scene.

0:00:530:00:55

A glowstick is a glowstick.

0:00:550:00:56

There's not an amazing-quality glowstick

0:00:560:00:58

or a poor-quality glowstick.

0:00:580:00:59

A glowstick is a glowstick.

0:00:590:01:02

LAUGHTER It's going to be an all-nighter.

0:01:020:01:05

Joining me on tonight's exclusive, invitation-only guest list,

0:01:050:01:08

our honoured guests,

0:01:080:01:09

CEO of Quintessentially Events, Anabel Fielding,

0:01:090:01:12

life and soul of the party, Gabby Logan,

0:01:120:01:14

and his name wasn't down but he still got in, Romesh Ranganathan.

0:01:140:01:17

Welcome to You're Fired!

0:01:170:01:19

APPLAUSE

0:01:190:01:21

So in tonight's task,

0:01:250:01:26

one candidate was hoping that the fun would go on and on,

0:01:260:01:29

but, in fact, for him, it was "de-party" time.

0:01:290:01:32

MIXED CHUCKLES AND GROANS

0:01:320:01:34

I take full responsibility for the pun,

0:01:340:01:37

but I hope you'll agree that everything else has been spot-on.

0:01:370:01:41

David, I do believe that today you have a lot to answer to.

0:01:410:01:45

£175 wasted on these T-shirts.

0:01:450:01:49

I wish you well,

0:01:490:01:50

but I have concluded that you are not going to be my business partner.

0:01:500:01:54

-You're fired.

-Thank you very much for the opportunity, Lord Sugar.

0:01:540:01:58

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome David Stevenson.

0:02:030:02:05

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:050:02:07

Please.

0:02:090:02:11

-David.

-Hello.

0:02:150:02:17

Good to have you on the show. Very popular, from the reaction there.

0:02:170:02:20

-It's a bit overwhelming, to be fair.

-Yeah?

0:02:200:02:24

Well, you made it to week eight, which is fantastic.

0:02:240:02:26

You can say, "I've been there, done that, got the T-shirt..."

0:02:260:02:29

-Literally!

-Sorry, I didn't mean to mention the T-shirt.

0:02:290:02:33

-On the whole, has it been a good experience?

-Absolutely.

0:02:330:02:35

When I first went into the process,

0:02:350:02:38

I wanted, obviously, to win the show.

0:02:380:02:40

Unfortunately, I didn't, but just to get as far as I did,

0:02:400:02:43

I learned so much and I've met some great people.

0:02:430:02:45

You said in the taxi that you felt in the boardroom

0:02:450:02:47

-that you'd been ganged up on.

-Yes.

0:02:470:02:49

And that the whole mood of the teams had changed

0:02:490:02:53

and had become very cut-throat.

0:02:530:02:55

Because Gary couldn't make a decision,

0:02:550:02:57

he didn't know who to bring back in.

0:02:570:02:58

The easiest thing for Joseph and Charleine

0:02:580:03:00

was just to keep attacking me, but you know what?

0:03:000:03:03

That's business. It happens in life.

0:03:030:03:05

When you commented about Joseph to Charleine,

0:03:050:03:07

what about Charleine's previous behaviour made you think

0:03:070:03:10

she'd keep that a secret?

0:03:100:03:11

LAUGHTER

0:03:110:03:13

I guess hindsight's a wonderful thing.

0:03:150:03:17

You know, you had some very difficult customers to please in this task.

0:03:170:03:20

Let's have a look at how you got on.

0:03:200:03:22

The big loss was obviously the T-shirts, which was £175.

0:03:220:03:24

A lot of people are going to point the finger at myself.

0:03:240:03:27

That one's not come out very well at all.

0:03:270:03:29

In terms of the eight that I managed to do,

0:03:290:03:31

-the pictures did actually come out.

-But he wasn't going to buy eight

0:03:310:03:34

when he had ten kids.

0:03:340:03:35

Two bags of sweets, two balloons, a water pistol

0:03:350:03:38

and a pair of sunglasses in each one.

0:03:380:03:39

I would definitely pay £9 now for one of these bags.

0:03:390:03:42

I can't see more than £5 value in those bags.

0:03:420:03:45

If we've got to lead these activities in the morning,

0:03:450:03:47

you're going to need a professional to do it and, frankly,

0:03:470:03:49

I am that professional.

0:03:490:03:51

We want to have as much fun as we can today as we possibly can,

0:03:510:03:54

but I'll also stress as well

0:03:540:03:55

that we have a no-running policy around here as well.

0:03:550:03:57

Can I get you to slow down, please? Don't move anywhere. Thank you.

0:03:570:04:00

It was supposed to be about fun.

0:04:000:04:02

It sounded to me like an Ofsted inspection.

0:04:020:04:04

On your marks! Get set! Walk.

0:04:060:04:09

LAUGHTER What surprises me, David,

0:04:090:04:11

is that right from the beginning,

0:04:110:04:12

-everyone identified you as the fun one.

-Yeah.

0:04:120:04:15

Then you get put in charge of a children's party,

0:04:150:04:17

you turn into a probation officer.

0:04:170:04:19

What went wrong there?

0:04:190:04:20

The problem is Gary.

0:04:200:04:23

-Gary's fault?

-It's Gary's fault.

-Why?

0:04:230:04:25

The thing is with Gary,

0:04:250:04:27

he's very corporate and I don't think he's that fun as a person,

0:04:270:04:30

to be fair, so what it came down to, I had to be fun,

0:04:300:04:33

but professional at the same time

0:04:330:04:36

and it was hard to basically marry the two.

0:04:360:04:38

So you've done a course in, what is it, rope climbing?

0:04:380:04:42

Yeah, I did high ropes and low ropes when I was...

0:04:420:04:45

Where do you do a course like that?

0:04:450:04:47

Across the pond.

0:04:470:04:48

-Why do you...?

-In America, it was pretty fun.

0:04:480:04:51

OK, right. And what are you qualified to do, in fact, with that?

0:04:510:04:54

So I'm qualified to lead groups of people,

0:04:540:04:58

team building, leading activities,

0:04:580:05:00

but also a low ropes course, high ropes course.

0:05:000:05:02

You name it, I can do it.

0:05:020:05:04

It's amazing that you did both high and low,

0:05:040:05:07

cos some people just do low ropes and they're next to useless.

0:05:070:05:11

-This guy's thorough.

-It's good.

-He knows his ropes.

0:05:110:05:14

LAUGHTER

0:05:140:05:16

Gabby, would your children have enjoyed a party like this?

0:05:160:05:19

Not at all, no. You're 26.

0:05:190:05:21

It wasn't that long ago you were going to children's parties,

0:05:210:05:24

so did you...?

0:05:240:05:26

Just last year you attended loads of them, didn't you?

0:05:260:05:29

Did you not tap back into your inner child at any point there?

0:05:290:05:33

I was a boring child.

0:05:330:05:35

-LAUGHTER

-What was your idea of fun as a child?

0:05:350:05:37

-My idea of fun? I love ropes courses...

-We know that!

0:05:370:05:42

LAUGHTER

0:05:420:05:44

You're into your ropes and you went to America and did a course in ropes,

0:05:440:05:48

which is further than most of us go with ropes.

0:05:480:05:52

It was quite edge-of-the-seat stuff, cos I was watching it thinking,

0:05:520:05:55

"God, when is he going to mention the gaps in that wood?

0:05:550:05:57

-"Oh, thank God."

-LAUGHTER

0:05:570:05:59

Anabel, your events,

0:06:000:06:02

everyone going there, they're expecting fun,

0:06:020:06:04

they want to have a great time,

0:06:040:06:05

they're very excited, but you have to keep them safe as well,

0:06:050:06:08

so given that that's the case, David,

0:06:080:06:10

was he right to try and keep them safe?

0:06:100:06:12

They're kids, after all.

0:06:120:06:14

Of course, he's ultimately responsible,

0:06:140:06:16

but in the party planning business,

0:06:160:06:17

you want to indulge people's imagination,

0:06:170:06:20

you don't want to say no, you want to create some dreams,

0:06:200:06:23

but the reality is, when it gets to too many health and safety concerns,

0:06:230:06:27

you do start to lose the fun of the party.

0:06:270:06:29

You did try to cheer the kids up on the bus, didn't you? The sing-along?

0:06:290:06:33

When I worked at this low ropes course...

0:06:330:06:36

Was it hands together, it went like that?

0:06:360:06:38

-HE RAPS IN AMERICAN ACCENT:

-# I'm going to teach you a brand-new dance

0:06:380:06:41

# It's not complicated, it's not too hard

0:06:410:06:43

# You can even do it in your own back yard

0:06:430:06:45

# You put your left hand out, you're coming around

0:06:450:06:48

# You're going to pull it back and twist it around

0:06:480:06:50

# And go boom, boom, boom. #

0:06:500:06:52

That is catchy, yeah.

0:06:520:06:54

APPLAUSE

0:06:540:06:56

Let's move on to the T-shirts.

0:06:570:06:59

-Yeah.

-Now, you said yourself you've only just learned to iron.

0:06:590:07:03

I still can't iron.

0:07:030:07:06

When you say you've just learned to iron,

0:07:060:07:08

do people learn to iron? I don't remember learning to iron.

0:07:080:07:11

-In the house...

-You see an iron, you know what to do with it.

0:07:110:07:14

Did you go to America to do a course in ironing?

0:07:140:07:17

The thing is, right...

0:07:170:07:18

Do you know how you do ironing?

0:07:200:07:22

-HE RAPS:

-# You take the iron there

0:07:220:07:24

# You put it on the shirt... #

0:07:240:07:25

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:07:250:07:28

-SHE RAPS:

-# And then you boom, boom, boom... #

0:07:310:07:33

LAUGHTER

0:07:330:07:35

What about...?

0:07:400:07:41

LAUGHTER CONTINUES

0:07:410:07:43

What about the party bags?

0:07:430:07:45

Now, they were a real bone of contention between everyone

0:07:450:07:49

on the team and you were adamant

0:07:490:07:51

-that people wouldn't pay that much for them.

-That's right.

0:07:510:07:53

But then you didn't help much by taking things out.

0:07:530:07:55

You took the glowsticks out before they'd even got to them.

0:07:550:07:58

Yeah, I knew that the customer wasn't going to buy them,

0:07:580:08:00

so I felt that the easiest way to do it

0:08:000:08:04

was, I guess, force the sale upon them

0:08:040:08:05

by getting them to play with them, getting them to use them.

0:08:050:08:08

-It's not the right tactic.

-OK.

0:08:080:08:10

Well, at the centre of Team Versatile's troubles this week

0:08:100:08:13

was project manager Gary.

0:08:130:08:15

Let's have a look at how he did.

0:08:150:08:16

Gary, you want to start an events company.

0:08:180:08:21

I'm going to suggest that you are the project manager again.

0:08:210:08:24

Is there any no-nos?

0:08:240:08:25

I've got a nut allergy.

0:08:250:08:27

It's a very severe allergy.

0:08:270:08:28

There was an issue with the cake, wasn't there?

0:08:280:08:30

In the chocolate cake there's a chocolate spread

0:08:300:08:32

and it says it may contain nuts.

0:08:320:08:34

Gary, I think this is so serious that you need to phone your team.

0:08:350:08:40

It just said, "May contain nuts."

0:08:400:08:43

Gary, could we just have a word

0:08:430:08:44

-and get that thing sorted out with the cake?

-Yep.

0:08:440:08:48

-KARREN:

-The whole point of being a party planner

0:08:480:08:50

is that you take the stress away

0:08:500:08:52

of organising a party and doing the food from the parents.

0:08:520:08:56

You knocked 100 quid off for that stupid, stupid mistake.

0:08:560:08:59

You wouldn't want to go into an events business with him,

0:08:590:09:02

having watched that party. I can assure you it was bad.

0:09:020:09:05

I don't know about you -

0:09:050:09:07

I'm getting fed up with Karren beating about the bush.

0:09:070:09:10

Anabel, in terms of party planning,

0:09:100:09:12

what did Gary do wrong? Remember, we only have half an hour.

0:09:120:09:16

Fundamentally, he lost the trust and confidence from his client.

0:09:160:09:20

Then he actually lied to his client about something very important,

0:09:200:09:24

which you just shouldn't be doing

0:09:240:09:26

and I think he just didn't have control of the team.

0:09:260:09:28

Gabby, would you employ Gary to...?

0:09:280:09:31

No, there's nothing about Gary that says,

0:09:310:09:33

"You're going to have a great time with me." I'm sure...

0:09:330:09:37

LAUGHTER

0:09:370:09:39

Listen, Gary, he always delivers. That's what we know about Gary.

0:09:390:09:44

One catastrophe that you weren't directly involved in was the cake,

0:09:440:09:48

which may or may not have potentially killed the client.

0:09:480:09:52

Anabel, that's got to be chapter one, page one

0:09:520:09:55

of How To Organise A Successful Event - food allergies!

0:09:550:09:58

It is more and more, actually, yes.

0:09:580:10:01

Both children and adults alike.

0:10:010:10:03

In anything... In fact, actually,

0:10:030:10:05

what anyone suggests at the beginning is a no-no,

0:10:050:10:08

that goes straight to the top of the list.

0:10:080:10:10

You have to make sure that that's one or two things

0:10:100:10:12

that are attended to immediately.

0:10:120:10:14

Let's get to the bottom of this -

0:10:140:10:16

who do we think was most to blame for the cake disaster?

0:10:160:10:19

Was it Joseph, Charleine or Gary, do we think?

0:10:190:10:22

I think Gary is very much to blame for this

0:10:220:10:24

in terms of the way he communicated.

0:10:240:10:26

Once the dad had actually seen the packaging,

0:10:260:10:29

he was totally happy with it,

0:10:290:10:30

so that means that there wasn't a problem,

0:10:300:10:32

but they felt there was a problem

0:10:320:10:34

because of the way Gary put that message across,

0:10:340:10:36

and then they lost faith in the whole party process,

0:10:360:10:38

because he'd made it stressful.

0:10:380:10:40

The client was very concerned in front of his wife

0:10:400:10:43

about it not containing nuts,

0:10:430:10:45

but when she wasn't there and they showed him the jar

0:10:450:10:48

that said, "May contain nuts," he said,

0:10:480:10:50

"Oh, that'll be all right."

0:10:500:10:52

LAUGHTER

0:10:520:10:53

I think that Joseph and Charleine,

0:10:550:10:57

-it shouldn't have gone any further than them.

-Mm-hm.

0:10:570:11:00

"May contain nuts," hello?!

0:11:000:11:02

But speaking of Charleine,

0:11:020:11:04

do we want to see that boardroom moment again?

0:11:040:11:07

LAUGHTER

0:11:070:11:09

I'm going to bring David and Joseph back in.

0:11:090:11:11

-CHARLEINE:

-Good luck, boys.

-CLAUDE:

-Where are you going?

0:11:110:11:14

Oh, God, has it finished, has it finished?

0:11:210:11:23

David, what was it like being in the boardroom at that moment?

0:11:230:11:26

I thought I'd won the lottery.

0:11:260:11:28

I thought I was going to get off scot-free.

0:11:280:11:30

Talk about team player.

0:11:300:11:31

As soon as the others... "See you later, mate."

0:11:310:11:34

LAUGHTER

0:11:340:11:36

Considering there are only four of you in your team,

0:11:360:11:38

there was a lot of friction there and I have to say,

0:11:380:11:41

I think that some of it was due to Charleine. A little bit, anyway.

0:11:410:11:44

Throughout the tasks,

0:11:440:11:46

there's a lot of people who have been good at one particular thing.

0:11:460:11:50

Joe, for example, is a very strong salesperson,

0:11:500:11:52

but I think there's other things that he hasn't proved yet.

0:11:520:11:56

David, in the morning, he was pinpointing people

0:11:560:11:59

that he thinks need to prove themselves

0:11:590:12:02

and one of those he mentioned was yourself.

0:12:020:12:03

What does he think he adds each week?

0:12:030:12:05

Cos I don't think he adds a great deal, to be fair.

0:12:050:12:07

All I'm saying is, glowsticks and glasses is pathetic.

0:12:070:12:10

He was pissed because all the T-shirts were...shit.

0:12:100:12:15

Cheers, Joseph.

0:12:150:12:16

Stir it up, stir it up. LAUGHTER

0:12:160:12:18

Let's move on to the winning team, Team Conexus,

0:12:200:12:23

and quickly remind ourselves of how the two birthday parties compared.

0:12:230:12:26

MUSIC: Agadoo by Black Lace

0:12:260:12:28

On your marks, get set, GO!

0:12:280:12:31

THEY WHOOP AND GIGGLE

0:12:310:12:33

A few rules before we start the game.

0:12:330:12:35

You are not allowed to go round the back.

0:12:350:12:38

MUSIC: Agadoo

0:12:380:12:40

Yes!

0:12:400:12:41

You are not allowed to climb to the top.

0:12:410:12:43

MUSIC: Agadoo

0:12:430:12:45

OK, go! Go! Go!

0:12:450:12:47

I also need to point your attention to these gaps

0:12:470:12:50

in the wood as well, OK?

0:12:500:12:52

It can be very dangerous if we get our fingers in there.

0:12:520:12:54

-MUSIC: Agadoo

-Party bus!

0:12:540:12:57

THEY WHOOP

0:12:590:13:01

-Did you like that?

-FORCEFULLY:

-No.

0:13:010:13:02

LAUGHTER

0:13:020:13:04

Yeah, those glowsticks come in handy, don't they?

0:13:040:13:07

Cos you can strangle yourself with them if you've had enough.

0:13:070:13:10

Anabel, what did Team Conexus do right,

0:13:100:13:12

did you feel, when you watched that?

0:13:120:13:14

I think they just got it, they just identified a bit better

0:13:140:13:17

with the birthday girl and it was a bit more appropriate,

0:13:170:13:20

a bit more fun. As I said, a little bit more appropriate

0:13:200:13:24

for what she wanted to do.

0:13:240:13:25

Yeah, I think Brett and Scott really threw themselves into it, though.

0:13:250:13:29

There was no holds barred there.

0:13:290:13:30

They kind of repaired their relationship after last week

0:13:300:13:32

and they appealed, I think, to those young girls as well.

0:13:320:13:35

They connected quite well.

0:13:350:13:37

The girls liked them, they were being fun, so...

0:13:370:13:40

The other thing is, kids have got very short attention spans.

0:13:400:13:44

You have to minimise the amount of actual instruction

0:13:440:13:47

and talking you do to them.

0:13:470:13:48

With those guys, the dodge ball, you just explain it

0:13:480:13:51

and then they're off,

0:13:510:13:52

whereas you, obviously, it was...

0:13:520:13:54

-it was longer.

-LAUGHTER

0:13:540:13:56

You're sort of losing them from the offset there.

0:13:560:13:59

They had their own party bag controversies as well, of course,

0:13:590:14:02

Selina deciding to go ahead

0:14:020:14:04

and buy the bags without the client's consent,

0:14:040:14:06

not knowing if she'd be able to sell them.

0:14:060:14:08

Was that wise, or did you think that was shrewd?

0:14:080:14:10

That was the classic moment,

0:14:100:14:11

when she was sitting on the sofa going, "But we've bought them!"

0:14:110:14:14

"But I don't want them." "But we've bought them."

0:14:140:14:17

I'm in favour of party bags as a rule, just in terms of,

0:14:170:14:20

they are a clear signal to the children that it's time to leave.

0:14:200:14:23

LAUGHTER

0:14:230:14:24

Last year at my elder son's birthday,

0:14:240:14:26

I brought them out 15 minutes in.

0:14:260:14:28

I thought, "I can't be bothered with this any more.

0:14:280:14:30

"It's party bag time - just get the hell out."

0:14:300:14:32

Selina was trying to give a fabulous party.

0:14:320:14:35

At the same time, behind the scenes,

0:14:350:14:38

Richard was trying to keep the spending down.

0:14:380:14:40

Did he overdo that? Was he being a bit stingy

0:14:400:14:42

and a bit mean, did you feel?

0:14:420:14:44

Well, I think it was important to keep an eye on the cost,

0:14:440:14:46

but, yes, I think there was certain things

0:14:460:14:48

about the experience of it, particularly for the kids,

0:14:480:14:51

that a bit of glitter and a bit of something would have gone

0:14:510:14:53

an awfully long way and I think he probably got his...

0:14:530:14:56

You know, I think perhaps he got his objectives a little bit muddled up.

0:14:560:15:00

Well, Selina did say in the boardroom

0:15:000:15:02

that she was glad Richard was there to keep things in check

0:15:020:15:05

and she did personally pick him to be on her team,

0:15:050:15:08

not that Richard would let a thing like that go to his head.

0:15:080:15:11

Hello!

0:15:110:15:12

Hello, super sub team.

0:15:120:15:13

I'm the figures man, so I'm just going to tell you the facts.

0:15:130:15:16

Barbecued food - cheap.

0:15:160:15:18

Sub team extraordinaire?

0:15:180:15:20

Yo, yo, yo!

0:15:200:15:21

-Super sub team?

-'Hi, guys!'

0:15:210:15:23

Let's keep it simple.

0:15:230:15:25

You're breaking my heart, you're breaking my heart at that level.

0:15:250:15:28

Stop spending money.

0:15:280:15:29

I'd smash that kitchen on my own, I'm more than happy to do that.

0:15:290:15:33

OK!

0:15:330:15:34

Might put my feet up!

0:15:340:15:35

# You're the best around... #

0:15:350:15:38

According to Claude, Vana was a bit like a slave.

0:15:380:15:40

I don't want any help, honestly.

0:15:400:15:42

I don't even understand - I've got everything sorted with the cake.

0:15:420:15:45

You won it due to Richard's stinginess.

0:15:450:15:48

I can't even remember what it's like to lose.

0:15:500:15:53

-VANA:

-Richard, you're the worst.

0:15:530:15:55

LAUGHTER

0:15:550:15:57

Gabby, Claude mentioned that Richard was treating Vana like a slave.

0:15:570:16:02

Would you have been happy with Richard as your boss?

0:16:020:16:05

If they had lost the task, I think it could have backfired on Vana,

0:16:050:16:09

because she didn't stand up to him

0:16:090:16:10

and she did appear to be very subservient to him

0:16:100:16:13

-and I wanted her to be a bit more assertive.

-Yes.

0:16:130:16:16

She's obviously a clever woman, she knows her own mind,

0:16:160:16:18

I'm sure she's also quite frugal

0:16:180:16:20

and quite able to work figures out herself

0:16:200:16:22

and see if they were overspending and she just seemed to be there.

0:16:220:16:25

-She did end up looking like she was his skivvy, really.

-Yes.

0:16:250:16:29

You've experienced Richard as your project manager

0:16:290:16:31

-in the shampoo task.

-Yes.

0:16:310:16:33

-Was it frustrating?

-He was an irritant.

-Was he?

0:16:330:16:35

The thing is with Richard,

0:16:350:16:37

the way that he delegated all the roles,

0:16:370:16:40

he didn't actually do anything himself in the shampoo task

0:16:400:16:43

and then to take the credit for everything,

0:16:430:16:45

I thought was very much unfair. The thing is with Richard,

0:16:450:16:47

he's trying to be very manipulative around a lot of situations.

0:16:470:16:50

He's saying the right things to the right people

0:16:500:16:52

at the right time sometimes,

0:16:520:16:54

but then sometimes he's pushing the boundaries a little bit.

0:16:540:16:57

Richard's a dark horse. He's playing a game.

0:16:570:16:59

Is he? Ooh.

0:16:590:17:01

You heard it here first.

0:17:020:17:04

The thing is about Richard is his behaviour is not great,

0:17:040:17:08

-the way he conducts himself, but he keeps winning.

-Mm.

0:17:080:17:11

I have never wanted so much someone to have a loss.

0:17:110:17:14

He needs to be defeated in a horrible, crushing way,

0:17:140:17:18

where he's just crying, naked in the boardroom,

0:17:180:17:21

just begging for his life or whatever.

0:17:210:17:24

He needs that, and then after that, he'll be bearable as a human being.

0:17:240:17:28

So what you're proposing - a kind of extreme Apprentice,

0:17:280:17:31

-where...

-Yeah, just for one. We need to keep Richard in check, so...

-OK.

0:17:310:17:35

One of the really simple things, which he hasn't got enough,

0:17:350:17:38

he hasn't been lambasted enough about is the catering.

0:17:380:17:41

The food ran really late.

0:17:410:17:43

That usually makes everyone really grumpy.

0:17:430:17:45

Everyone will know that,

0:17:450:17:46

and he didn't seem to get enough stick for that.

0:17:460:17:48

Plus, he was so cocky about being on top of that cake

0:17:480:17:52

and the cake was crap.

0:17:520:17:54

It looked dreadful.

0:17:540:17:55

They messed up the icing, "Just throw a load of marshmallows at it."

0:17:550:17:58

He said, "I can put my feet up now," and he hadn't got the glitter

0:17:580:18:01

so I think he got away with it this week.

0:18:010:18:04

Is he emerging as the Teflon candidate?

0:18:040:18:06

He just gets away with everything, doesn't he?

0:18:060:18:08

-A bit.

-What are your thoughts on that?

0:18:080:18:11

As much as he is annoying, he's brilliant as well.

0:18:110:18:13

-Yeah?

-He's annoyingly brilliant.

0:18:130:18:16

-Is he?

-It's really frustrating.

0:18:160:18:17

LAUGHTER

0:18:180:18:20

-Well... GABBY:

-Do you recognise that, Jack?

0:18:200:18:22

Yes, yes, something I've lived with all my life.

0:18:220:18:24

LAUGHTER

0:18:240:18:26

As we know, this series Romesh has been investigating

0:18:260:18:29

what it might be like to be an Apprentice candidate.

0:18:290:18:32

What have you been looking at this week?

0:18:320:18:34

Well, I sort of felt that this task is something I could lend myself to.

0:18:340:18:38

I've got three children, I'm very fond of two of them

0:18:380:18:40

-and I thought that...

-LAUGHTER

0:18:400:18:42

..for that reason, I could organise a children's party

0:18:420:18:44

and I felt like I really connected with the kids

0:18:440:18:47

and just threw a really nice shindig.

0:18:470:18:49

Let's have a look at that, then.

0:18:490:18:51

What would you like for your birthday party?

0:18:510:18:53

I want a unicorn.

0:18:530:18:55

A unicorn? Listen, I can't do you a unicorn.

0:18:550:18:57

What I can do is stick an ice cream cone on a horse.

0:18:570:19:00

LAUGHTER

0:19:000:19:02

Look, I'm going to teach you a valuable life lesson now.

0:19:020:19:05

Lower your expectations.

0:19:050:19:07

Guys, I present to you...

0:19:080:19:10

Mr Tumble!

0:19:100:19:12

No, it's not Mr Tumble.

0:19:120:19:13

Romesh the Clown.

0:19:130:19:14

Had a slight mishap with the cake.

0:19:150:19:17

-Oh,

-BLEEP!

0:19:170:19:19

It's Romesh here from Team Romesh.

0:19:190:19:21

I'm just wondering if you could source me a birthday cake.

0:19:210:19:24

Why don't we all play "sitting quietly on the floor"?

0:19:240:19:27

CHILD YELLS

0:19:270:19:30

Romesh the Clown's had enough now, guys.

0:19:300:19:33

BLEEP.

0:19:330:19:35

Right, guys, we're going to play hide and seek in here,

0:19:350:19:37

but only in this room.

0:19:370:19:39

Don't even get me started on hide and seek.

0:19:390:19:41

I've lost one of the kids.

0:19:410:19:42

I've actually lost one of the kids.

0:19:420:19:45

And I think I accidentally swore in front of one of the kids.

0:19:450:19:48

-Mummy, what does

-BLEEP

-mean?

0:19:480:19:50

-LAUGHTER

-This isn't fun.

0:19:500:19:52

I'm going to be calling all of your parents.

0:19:520:19:54

All in all, I think I've thrown a good party.

0:19:540:19:56

I think the client will pay me for what I've done.

0:19:560:19:58

-Excuse me, did you call my daughter a

-BLEEP?

0:19:580:20:01

Uh...

0:20:010:20:02

-I was, uh...

-Are you going home?

0:20:020:20:06

I think I might be, yeah.

0:20:060:20:07

APPLAUSE

0:20:090:20:11

-Romesh, that was horrendous.

-Well, no, I don't think it's horrendous.

0:20:110:20:15

I connected with the children.

0:20:150:20:17

There are certain things I couldn't do because I had to leave.

0:20:170:20:20

LAUGHTER

0:20:200:20:21

I did do a party bag. I avoided your mistake, it's not see-through.

0:20:210:20:26

I'll show you what I've got in here.

0:20:260:20:28

I've got a little bit of cake, because, basically,

0:20:280:20:32

you get stuck with cake, don't you? So I put a bit of cake in there.

0:20:320:20:36

Then I thought, well, kids often have a lot of sugar at parties

0:20:360:20:40

and you want to chill them out at the end of the day,

0:20:400:20:43

so I put a bottle of whisky in there...

0:20:430:20:45

-LAUGHTER

-..just as a little snifter,

0:20:450:20:47

just to relax and chill them out. I use that with my second one a lot.

0:20:470:20:51

And also, a little toy, entertainment, a lighter.

0:20:510:20:55

-LAUGHTER

-Kids love setting fire to things.

0:20:550:20:57

You had glowsticks, you can make anything glow with this.

0:20:570:21:00

LAUGHTER

0:21:000:21:01

And finally, I included a free copy of my own publication,

0:21:010:21:06

Santa Isn't Real.

0:21:060:21:07

LAUGHTER

0:21:070:21:09

Well, Christmas is coming up,

0:21:090:21:11

so I'm sure bookings for Romesh the Clown will come flooding in.

0:21:110:21:14

Now, David,

0:21:140:21:16

although you took a bit of criticism on this week's task,

0:21:160:21:19

over the process, you have had a reputation for being the most

0:21:190:21:22

enthusiastic person probably ever on The Apprentice, which is

0:21:220:21:25

why we were so pleased to find this unseen footage.

0:21:250:21:29

David is entertainment.

0:21:290:21:31

DISCO MUSIC PLAYS

0:21:310:21:34

# He's the greatest dancer... #

0:21:350:21:38

Oh! Oh! Oh!

0:21:380:21:39

# That I've ever seen. #

0:21:390:21:42

David will do anything, dancing, singing or even rapping.

0:21:420:21:46

# ..It makes me want to twitch.

0:21:460:21:47

# Creeping over me just like an itch. #

0:21:470:21:49

If he's any good, that's a separate question,

0:21:490:21:51

but ten out of ten for commitment.

0:21:510:21:53

ALL EXCLAIM

0:21:550:21:57

-Oh, David...

-Fucking hell!

0:21:570:22:00

-Oh, my God...

-LOUD THUD

0:22:000:22:02

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:22:020:22:04

Now, that might look dangerous, but in fairness, he wasn't running.

0:22:080:22:12

So, David, we first became aware of your enthusiasm,

0:22:120:22:16

your excitability, if you will, during the shampoo task.

0:22:160:22:20

But it really served you best

0:22:200:22:22

when you were the project manager for the pet show task.

0:22:220:22:25

So tell us about that. Were you pleased with how that went?

0:22:250:22:28

Yeah, absolutely.

0:22:280:22:29

One of the best things to do is to be as enthusiastic as you can to get the products you want.

0:22:290:22:32

And I made sure that my team was going to deliver. I wanted that.

0:22:320:22:37

And overall I'm really happy.

0:22:370:22:38

Anabel, David had a lot of praise for this task.

0:22:380:22:41

Schmoozing the client, is that always a good thing or sometimes can that backfire?

0:22:410:22:45

It depends who the client is.

0:22:450:22:46

Lots of clients don't want to be schmoozed at all,

0:22:460:22:49

they just want you to get on and do your job.

0:22:490:22:52

But let's face it, you're in a people service business -

0:22:520:22:55

you have to have charisma.

0:22:550:22:57

You've got to have some charm. You've got to bring things to life.

0:22:570:22:59

-I think you did a really good job.

-Thank you.

0:22:590:23:02

I thought your gerbil T-shirt enthusiasm was terrifying.

0:23:020:23:06

LAUGHTER

0:23:060:23:08

The thing is, you open yourself to have the mickey taken

0:23:080:23:11

out of you in that regard because you're so over the top enthusiastic,

0:23:110:23:15

but actually it's a tool at your disposal, so it is a good thing.

0:23:150:23:18

-Thank you.

-Seeing you here now, as well, you can see that you take

0:23:180:23:20

stuff on board and you're very aware of your environment.

0:23:200:23:23

So I think your enthusiasm will only stand you in good stead.

0:23:230:23:27

Yeah, that's really nice words to hear.

0:23:270:23:30

Did you actually really like the guinea pig T-shirt?

0:23:300:23:33

No.

0:23:330:23:34

LAUGHTER

0:23:340:23:36

-Well we know, sadly, Lord Sugar isn't going to invest in your business plan.

-Yep.

0:23:370:23:41

Let's look at the advice he's got for you for your future.

0:23:410:23:44

David was an interesting candidate and I observed him

0:23:440:23:49

through the previous tasks as being very resourceful.

0:23:490:23:53

A standout moment, of course,

0:23:530:23:54

was when they were on the kids' book task, where he wrote the song and

0:23:540:23:59

sang the song about the busy bee,

0:23:590:24:01

and I thought that was very, very good.

0:24:010:24:03

So he's an all-rounder that threw himself into things.

0:24:030:24:06

David had a business which specialised in generating

0:24:060:24:10

ticket sales for things like women's football,

0:24:100:24:14

and I think it's quite a good idea, and I think he needs to pursue it.

0:24:140:24:17

Stick to what you know is what I say, as far as that's concerned.

0:24:170:24:21

Stick to what you know - is that a thing that you can take on board?

0:24:210:24:25

Yeah, absolutely, and it's something I'm still doing today.

0:24:250:24:28

-So I started that business before.

-And what is that? What are you doing?

0:24:280:24:32

It's sports marketing,

0:24:320:24:33

so we're trying to promote a lot of women's sports in the UK.

0:24:330:24:36

Women's sport is thriving, and I want to bring the women's game,

0:24:360:24:41

-in all aspects of all sports, to where it needs to be.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:24:410:24:44

-Good luck with all of that.

-Thank you.

-Good to hear.

0:24:440:24:46

Well, it's time to find out whether we agree that David was the right person to be fired.

0:24:460:24:50

Anabel, do think Lord Sugar fired David at the right time?

0:24:500:24:53

For me, it's a no.

0:24:530:24:55

I respond very much to enthusiasm and energy, and if you can combine

0:24:550:24:58

that with a good business plan, I think you've really got something.

0:24:580:25:01

For me, it should have been Gary. Dull, boring, poor management.

0:25:010:25:04

LAUGHTER

0:25:040:25:06

All right! All right, all right! LAUGHTER

0:25:060:25:09

Gabby?

0:25:090:25:10

I have to agree, and I think Gary got away with it, really, because

0:25:100:25:14

I think too many of the things that went wrong stopped with him.

0:25:140:25:18

Romesh?

0:25:180:25:19

I agree with the ladies - I don't think you should have been fired.

0:25:190:25:23

I think the ironing thing, too much of a big deal was made

0:25:230:25:25

out of that.

0:25:250:25:27

I do stand by my comments that your rap thing was dreadful,

0:25:270:25:31

but I do think that Gary mismanaged the situation.

0:25:310:25:35

His communication of the cake thing was dreadful,

0:25:350:25:37

so I think he should have gone.

0:25:370:25:39

Wow, interesting! So, to the audience vote.

0:25:390:25:41

If you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up Fired.

0:25:410:25:43

If you don't agree, hold up Hired.

0:25:430:25:46

-That is a Hired from the audience, as well.

-I'll take that!

0:25:510:25:55

-Well done!

-Thank you very much.

-Hired from the audience and from all three.

0:25:550:25:58

So, as you know, nobody leaves You're Fired empty-handed,

0:25:580:26:02

so I had to think about what we get.

0:26:020:26:05

Knowing your love of T-shirts, especially ones with giant faces

0:26:050:26:08

and so on and so forth, I had a go at doing...

0:26:080:26:11

LAUGHTER

0:26:110:26:13

..doing that one for you. There we go.

0:26:130:26:15

I'm sorry The Apprentice came out backwards, but it's...

0:26:150:26:18

-It's the first time I've ever...

-You went over my face!

0:26:180:26:20

That was deliberate. LAUGHTER

0:26:200:26:22

It's the first time I've ever ironed anything, so...

0:26:220:26:26

-So that's for you, there you are.

-Thank you very much.

0:26:260:26:28

You've been a terrific candidate and a lot of fun.

0:26:280:26:30

Let's have a look at your highlights.

0:26:300:26:32

David, David, David... Oh, David.

0:26:320:26:36

What a cheese-ball, but what a lovely guy.

0:26:360:26:38

# Wind your body... #

0:26:380:26:40

They should have given YOU a name, Billy The Kid.

0:26:400:26:44

They'll be putting their hands in the air, going like this,

0:26:440:26:46

enjoying themselves. There's going to be a lot of movement.

0:26:460:26:49

Swishing and swishing, tumbling and turning...

0:26:490:26:52

CHEERING

0:26:520:26:54

David is really cute and quirky.

0:26:560:26:58

He's a really unusual guy and he's one of those people that never fails

0:26:580:27:02

to surprise you with something unusual or interesting about him.

0:27:020:27:06

Bang on!

0:27:060:27:07

You can wear it with almost anything.

0:27:070:27:09

I'm wearing it with a bit of a suit.

0:27:090:27:11

CHEERING

0:27:110:27:13

# Do the Boom shack-a-lak-a till the dance hall full up. #

0:27:130:27:17

Wow.

0:27:170:27:19

LAUGHTER

0:27:190:27:20

Ladies and gentlemen, David Stevenson!

0:27:200:27:23

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:27:230:27:24

Well, that's all for tonight. Thank you to Anabel, Gabby and Romesh.

0:27:270:27:32

So it's on to task number nine for our candidates.

0:27:320:27:36

You're going to sell the priciest product of them all - property.

0:27:360:27:40

OMG.

0:27:400:27:42

Have you ever bought a house?

0:27:420:27:44

These are obviously the walls.

0:27:450:27:47

Some people love the greenery...

0:27:470:27:49

How are you doing? Are you OK?

0:27:490:27:51

-I think that went well.

-Mm-hm.

0:27:510:27:54

Clearly there was no sophistication in what you were doing.

0:27:540:27:57

-Milk Tray?

-Jam tarts.

0:27:570:28:00

Just a plate of biscuits!

0:28:000:28:02

You were like a bull in a china shop.

0:28:020:28:04

Won't move, promise you. Don't try it.

0:28:040:28:06

Give us some good news, buddy.

0:28:060:28:09

You could buy a street in Wales for that money!

0:28:090:28:11

I've tried to mimic him this morning,

0:28:110:28:13

so hopefully he's going to be impressed.

0:28:130:28:15

Showed no reaction whatsoever.

0:28:150:28:17

Go to...

0:28:170:28:20

for everything you need to know about the series.

0:28:200:28:23

We'll be back next Wednesday at ten for more You're Fired,

0:28:230:28:25

when, alongside Romesh, I'll be joined by Greg James

0:28:250:28:28

and international business consultant, Allyson Stewart-Allen.

0:28:280:28:31

Goodnight.
