This was mayhem. That don't look good!

0:00:020:00:05

Bloody clueless! Couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery!

0:00:050:00:08

You're fired! You're fired!

0:00:080:00:10

You're fired!

0:00:100:00:12

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:00:150:00:19

Good evening and welcome to The Apprentice You're Fired

0:00:260:00:30

for our second episode of this bumper week.

0:00:300:00:33

Now 14 candidates are left to battle it

0:00:330:00:35

out for Lord Sugar's £250,000 business investment.

0:00:350:00:38

Tonight with the help of unseen footage, we'll be

0:00:380:00:41

watching how the teams' dynamics are evolving.

0:00:410:00:44

For example, it's important when your colleagues have had

0:00:440:00:47

a setback that you should think of the best way to reassure them.

0:00:470:00:50

-Hello, hello. How are you doing?

-Not too bad.

0:00:500:00:53

We're heading towards Richmond.

0:00:530:00:55

-What have you sold? How many casks?

-We've done one and a half.

0:00:550:00:58

Excellent(!)

0:01:000:01:03

LAUGHTER

0:01:030:01:05

Sometimes the longer you take to think of a response,

0:01:050:01:09

the more comfort you can give.

0:01:090:01:11

I'm surprised you've even turned up.

0:01:110:01:13

That was inevitable, mate.

0:01:250:01:27

LAUGHTER

0:01:270:01:29

Now to our panel.

0:01:290:01:31

Tonight, the co-founder of BrewDog, James Watt,

0:01:310:01:34

broadcaster Sara Cox and comedian Ed Byrne, welcome to You're Fired.

0:01:340:01:38

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:01:380:01:42

Tonight's task of producing a new flavoured beer left one

0:01:440:01:48

candidate feeling uncharacteristically flat.

0:01:480:01:51

Tim, your business plan was to do with drinks,

0:01:510:01:54

so I give you the job of being project manager and you make a mess.

0:01:540:01:59

I've got nowhere else to go here. Tim, you're fired.

0:01:590:02:03

Thank you, Lord Sugar.

0:02:030:02:05

Please welcome Tim Stillwell.

0:02:100:02:12

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:02:120:02:16

Tim, you know, that's a huge cheer for someone who's only been on for two weeks.

0:02:290:02:33

People really like you, people were disappointed to see you go,

0:02:330:02:37

people think the way you bob around is really interesting.

0:02:370:02:41

-Were you disappointed?

-Very disappointed.

0:02:410:02:43

Went on the show to try and raise money to expand the business,

0:02:430:02:47

it didn't work out, but hopefully, most good business

0:02:470:02:50

people have a failure somewhere, hopefully this is my failure.

0:02:500:02:53

Yeah, public failure, erm...

0:02:530:02:55

-Most people get it... Don't make a big thing of it.

-Out of the way.

0:02:550:02:59

And a 30 minute chat show to dissect why their failure was such a failure.

0:02:590:03:03

Let's see what lessons we can learn from this one as you

0:03:030:03:07

move on with your life scarred by the memory.

0:03:070:03:10

And was there anything that jumps out immediately as being

0:03:100:03:14

obvious that you could have done differently?

0:03:140:03:16

Most of it, really. Yeah. Pretty much. A lot of it. Yeah, most of it, to be fair.

0:03:160:03:21

OK, we'll go through it piece by piece and we've got experts with us as well.

0:03:210:03:24

You were parachuted in to lead the girls' team, but I'm afraid you had a crash landing.

0:03:240:03:28

Tim, I'm wondering really whether you did lead the team.

0:03:280:03:32

One of these other people kind of walked all over you.

0:03:320:03:35

I want to target the female market, something healthy.

0:03:350:03:38

Is everyone agreed with that? No. No? OK.

0:03:380:03:41

I know this is going to look weak.

0:03:410:03:42

I'm going to overrule my decision. Do you know what I mean?

0:03:420:03:45

I made a rash decision before.

0:03:450:03:47

So where did you end up, then?

0:03:470:03:49

-A beer festival.

-We ended up at the Kent Beer Festival.

0:03:490:03:53

-Which turned out to be a glorified pub.

-Yeah.

0:03:530:03:56

So this is the Kent Beer Festival.

0:03:560:03:58

Where is everyone?

0:03:580:04:00

-You're all a bloody waste of space!

-We.. When we.. When we...

0:04:000:04:04

-Can we stop with this "we"? is it we or is it you?

-We're a team.

0:04:040:04:09

If ever in my life, I've come across a team who literally couldn't

0:04:090:04:13

organise a piss-up in a brewery, it's now.

0:04:130:04:15

Where to begin?

0:04:170:04:18

Let's start with your decision to overrule yourself.

0:04:180:04:22

Did you take it badly?

0:04:220:04:24

Or...did you bounce back?

0:04:240:04:26

And were you able to work with yourself later in the task?

0:04:260:04:30

Do you think it was a good idea, the initial idea? A beer for women.

0:04:300:04:33

Um...it wasn't. It was a terrible idea.

0:04:330:04:36

It wasn't the best way to start my role as project manager of the girls. I thought, I'm on the girls' team,

0:04:360:04:41

let's do a product we can give to girls, blah blah...

0:04:410:04:45

-The wrong decision.

-Cos there were loads of women around?

0:04:450:04:48

-That's what I thought.

-You were like, "Argh!"

-Exactly.

0:04:480:04:51

It was one of those things when I was told you're moved over to the women's team,

0:04:510:04:55

I didn't even know their names. We'd had that little interaction with them.

0:04:550:04:59

So it was, yeah. I was thrown in the deep end.

0:04:590:05:02

Much like failures in your career,

0:05:020:05:04

-it's good to get those bad decisions out of the way early.

-Yeah.

0:05:040:05:07

James, a beer marketed specifically for women,

0:05:090:05:12

has that ever worked in the industry?

0:05:120:05:14

There's been a few in the past and the only things they've

0:05:140:05:17

managed is to patronise women and bastardise beer at the same time.

0:05:170:05:22

So they've usually been a disaster and I think the focus is on doing

0:05:220:05:25

something awesome and if women like it, if guys like it, that's good.

0:05:250:05:28

The focus is on doing something you believe in,

0:05:280:05:31

something you're passionate about and something that's got integrity.

0:05:310:05:34

You weren't excited by a beer specifically aimed at women.

0:05:340:05:38

I think that's right. You just feel a bit like, "Oh, good!

0:05:380:05:41

"Ooh, it's got swirly writing on the label. That's for me!" And then we'll all settle down

0:05:410:05:45

and talk about our periods with our special beer that's just for us girls.

0:05:450:05:49

The funniest thing we were doing was beer targeted for women,

0:05:490:05:53

so it was going to be healthy and all these things,

0:05:530:05:56

which were just completely off the wall.

0:05:560:05:58

One of those brainstorming things which is meant to be

0:05:580:06:00

more like a brainstorm, but when you're there with...trying

0:06:000:06:03

to come across well and do the task, you say, "Right, my decision is...

0:06:030:06:07

"I'm very authoritative and I make decisions."

0:06:070:06:09

I like the way the girls just went, "No."

0:06:090:06:13

The product you went for in the end, Rhubarb and Riches,

0:06:130:06:16

-were you fully behind that as an idea?

-Um... Yeah, I suppose.

0:06:160:06:20

You're given a very short amount of time to come up with this new

0:06:200:06:23

thing, it has to be unique, has to be something not on the market,

0:06:230:06:26

you know... So this one wasn't on the market, there arguably could be

0:06:260:06:30

a reason why this product's not currently on the market.

0:06:300:06:33

But to be fair, we did get good customer reviews. People liked it.

0:06:330:06:36

It took a lot of work and stress to actually make it,

0:06:360:06:39

-but people did like it.

-Looking at the name and the branding, what do you think?

0:06:390:06:43

-It's quite classy looking.

-Yes, I thought the packaging was good.

0:06:430:06:47

I liked the fact that you guys had pump clips, the other team didn't.

0:06:470:06:51

I thought the name, the packaging, was good.

0:06:510:06:53

And do you have to go gimmicky with a brand new product to market?

0:06:530:06:56

I hate gimmicky names. I liked you guys' name so much more than the other team's name.

0:06:560:07:01

For me, a cheap tacky pun is just the worst way to launch anything.

0:07:010:07:05

So I thought in terms of packaging, you guys nailed it.

0:07:050:07:09

Unfortunately, we don't have any more of the beer left.

0:07:090:07:12

For people to taste. That's the problem with it. Did you taste it?

0:07:120:07:17

-It was very good. I think, yeah.

-It's difficult to recreate it.

0:07:170:07:20

Obviously we could just get rhubarb and this is caramel. So...

0:07:200:07:24

Going to try it?

0:07:240:07:27

AUDIENCE GROANS

0:07:270:07:30

I've been waiting a long time to see Dara O'Briain do that with a stick of rhubarb.

0:07:300:07:34

Sweet. Divine.

0:07:340:07:36

-Um... The caramel...

-It was better than that.

0:07:360:07:39

The caramel is really strong.

0:07:390:07:41

And then the rhubarb wins.

0:07:410:07:44

-All you need now is a pint of beer and you'll be sorted.

-Oh, my God!

0:07:440:07:48

Even outside the Kent Beer "Festival",

0:07:480:07:52

when you pitched the idea and you said, "We're selling a new beer,

0:07:520:07:56

"it's rhubarb and caramel flavour," people moaned and then they laughed.

0:07:560:08:02

You've got to really go some to look daft in front of a bunch

0:08:020:08:05

of Morris Dancers.

0:08:050:08:07

LAUGHTER

0:08:070:08:09

And in fact, that was just a little bit of rhubarb and caramel,

0:08:090:08:13

if Francesca had her way, she would have made the most rhubarb

0:08:130:08:18

and caramel flavour beer in history.

0:08:180:08:20

-Who's the mathematician here?

-Francesca was doing the maths.

0:08:210:08:26

I'm not a mathematician.

0:08:260:08:28

6.5 at 75%...

0:08:280:08:31

-Does that make sense?

-That's wrong.

-Oh, dear!

0:08:310:08:35

It's a simple multiplication, isn't it? It is not rocket science.

0:08:350:08:38

-I'm really sorry. My brain's confusing litres and grams and stuff.

-I know.

0:08:380:08:43

Let's just go with that.

0:08:430:08:45

Guys, this is not safe to drink.

0:08:450:08:48

You ditched 90 litres of stuff, didn't you?

0:08:480:08:51

-How many millilitres has been added to that keg?

-100.

0:08:510:08:55

Right, there's far too much in there then.

0:08:550:08:58

I've never seen anything like it.

0:08:580:09:00

Francesca, you got your numbers wrong, this was a disaster.

0:09:000:09:04

We're going down. The ship is sinking fast.

0:09:040:09:07

Cos the way that task got bumped onto Francesca,

0:09:090:09:13

as clear as it did, there were a lot of people

0:09:130:09:15

washing their hands of that situation immediately.

0:09:150:09:18

Yeah, it was very funny because in the taxi to get there, we were

0:09:180:09:22

doing such complicated maths,

0:09:220:09:24

we were working out if we use a cheaper beer, cheaper ingredients, we

0:09:240:09:27

can produce more and make more money, we had all these sums,

0:09:270:09:31

like a page of numbers and numbers. And then when it came to the really simple stuff of how much flavouring

0:09:310:09:35

do we put in the beer to make it safe to drink, we just completely... Our heads were in a spin

0:09:350:09:41

and we couldn't work out grams to millilitres...

0:09:410:09:45

It did seem like she was really struggling and instead of everybody

0:09:450:09:49

getting involved, they all stood back and "OK, she's struggling."

0:09:490:09:52

Were they in danger? If you put in too much of those flavourings?

0:09:520:09:56

If you use too much of certain things in beer

0:09:560:09:59

depending on the compounds, they could make someone quite ill.

0:09:590:10:02

It's important if you're doing anything that's

0:10:020:10:05

consumed by the public, you make sure it's safe.

0:10:050:10:08

Cos what we don't want is the public drinking beer and then being sick!

0:10:080:10:12

LAUGHTER

0:10:120:10:16

We thought at the end that the girls would go for you in the boardroom.

0:10:160:10:20

I thought I was going to get destroyed in that boardroom.

0:10:200:10:24

But it was OK.

0:10:240:10:25

Yeah, it was OK. Instead they turned on one of their own.

0:10:250:10:29

Who's responsible for the failure of this task?

0:10:290:10:32

I think it's down to location, Lord Sugar.

0:10:320:10:35

EVIL GROWLING AND SNARLING

0:10:350:10:38

WOLF HOWLS

0:10:390:10:41

Whose idea was it to go to the Kent Beer Festival?

0:10:410:10:44

Where did that come from?

0:10:440:10:45

-Who made that decision?

-Who made that decision?

-Who made that decision?

0:10:450:10:49

-We...

-Who made the decision?

-Who suggested it?

0:10:490:10:52

I feel the blame's been pinned on myself.

0:10:520:10:55

SNARLING AND GROWLING

0:10:550:10:56

-It's definitely an alliance. I know you're all in cahoots.

-Cahoots?

0:10:560:10:59

Four of you are, yeah.

0:10:590:11:02

The location was wrong, you made the decision.

0:11:020:11:05

And I took responsibility for it.

0:11:050:11:07

I have never seen such a bloody mess in the first two weeks of this

0:11:070:11:12

process as what I've seen today.

0:11:120:11:15

WOLF HOWLS

0:11:150:11:17

APPLAUSE

0:11:170:11:20

So when you saw that happening, did you just sit back and say, "Grand.

0:11:240:11:28

"Let Rebecca take the grief for this."

0:11:280:11:30

Um... I was... They're a great bunch of girls.

0:11:300:11:34

They are very forthright with their opinion,

0:11:340:11:36

but they are a very genuine nice bunch of girls.

0:11:360:11:39

It was quite nice to see them rallying

0:11:390:11:42

and I was just trying to keep out of it cos a lot of them were fighting my corner for me,

0:11:420:11:45

which was quite nice and I didn't feel they needed to do it

0:11:450:11:48

but there seemed to be this alliance, let's not let Tim take the blame.

0:11:480:11:52

I thought, if I get in, it's going to seem like I'm ganging up, so by

0:11:520:11:56

keeping quiet I thought it could work to my advantage, which it didn't.

0:11:560:12:00

-No, it didn't.

-Do you not think if you'd brought in...

0:12:000:12:04

Just because they hate each other so much, Rebecca and Uzma,

0:12:040:12:07

they've been at it from the word go...

0:12:070:12:10

If you'd brought in Uzma instead, and then just let...

0:12:100:12:13

-And on the way, if you'd just gone, "She says you've got fat ankles."

-LAUGHTER

0:12:130:12:19

And just let them go at each other. He might have ended up firing one of them.

0:12:190:12:24

Cos then, Lord Sugar would have gone, "Why did you bring Uzma in?"

0:12:240:12:27

"I just wanted to see this crazy thing here."

0:12:270:12:30

It would have been you and Lord Sugar looking at each other across the table, going...

0:12:300:12:34

LAUGHTER

0:12:340:12:35

What are you going to do, eh?

0:12:350:12:37

-Ultimately, it was the locations that did it.

-It was.

0:12:370:12:41

The Kent Beer Festival sounded amazing.

0:12:410:12:44

What's the population of Kent?

0:12:440:12:45

I did think they sold quite well though to a few people, to the men of the Kent Festival.

0:12:450:12:50

-The girls were great at selling.

-Because they were the only females in like a ten-mile radius.

0:12:500:12:56

All those middle-aged balding men, no offence...

0:12:560:12:59

..to anybody here...

0:12:590:13:02

-ED:

-None taken!

0:13:020:13:04

LAUGHTER

0:13:040:13:07

They were so bedazzled, they were like, "Here's our money,

0:13:080:13:12

"can we touch your hair?" These girls are like, "Do you want some beer?" They were like, "Woo!"

0:13:120:13:17

-Rebecca is the best salesperson they have.

-Yeah, I quite feel for Rebecca actually, I think

0:13:170:13:21

she seems to wind up the other girls, for whatever reason.

0:13:210:13:24

Maybe cos she does this a lot.

0:13:240:13:27

LAUGHTER

0:13:270:13:29

Cos that can proper wind up a girl.

0:13:290:13:32

Last week, she was one of the best sellers amongst all the candidates.

0:13:320:13:37

This week, she came in the top three sales.

0:13:370:13:41

So what exactly is it that just gets in their faces about her?

0:13:410:13:46

Rebecca likes to stick her hand in people's faces

0:13:460:13:49

and her finger in my face on this occasion.

0:13:490:13:52

-£75.

-Um...could we...?

-How...

-Can I? Sorry.

0:13:520:13:56

-It's not personal, this is business.

-It is personal.

0:13:560:14:00

We're in a boardroom.

0:14:000:14:02

Why are you pointing your finger at me? That's annoying.

0:14:020:14:05

-At a food festival...

-Let me finish.

0:14:050:14:08

I tell you what, Tim. No, no, no.

0:14:080:14:10

Let me have a word.

0:14:100:14:12

I want to say something. I pointed at it.

0:14:120:14:15

LAUGHTER

0:14:170:14:20

APPLAUSE

0:14:200:14:23

Is it as little as that? Is it as little as a habit of getting inside somebody's space?

0:14:280:14:32

I think because Lord Sugar's allowed her to be the only one to do

0:14:320:14:36

the finger thing and so I think that must have been annoying.

0:14:360:14:39

Tim, I'm genuinely sorry that you went in week two,

0:14:390:14:42

because I wanted to see...

0:14:420:14:44

Not just for any business reason, I just wanted to see

0:14:440:14:46

if you could keep this up for 12 weeks.

0:14:460:14:49

I have been described as a bit of a whirlwind. I do have bags of energy. I've got high energy levels.

0:14:490:14:53

I don't really ever get tired. I like to keep going, keep plugging away.

0:14:530:14:57

Finally sold some product. Great. I thought my chance was going

0:14:570:15:00

to come this task and I wasn't in the background.

0:15:000:15:03

Arms and legs everywhere, getting involved.

0:15:030:15:05

Just start rattling off anything.

0:15:050:15:07

Sometimes I act before I think.

0:15:070:15:08

Bouncing around, getting involved.

0:15:080:15:10

Confused, we were trying to work it out.

0:15:100:15:12

It was an absolute roller coaster.

0:15:120:15:14

People shouting. That really flustered us.

0:15:140:15:16

Sometimes my energy has to be reined in and controlled.

0:15:160:15:18

I'm bursting with it.

0:15:180:15:19

I need it to be harnessed. HORSE WHINNIES

0:15:190:15:22

Would you have hit, like, week seven,

0:15:220:15:25

and needed sleepy time for Tim?

0:15:250:15:27

Does it plunge? Does it go, "Bam-bam-bam!"

0:15:270:15:29

And then just stop, and then you're out?

0:15:290:15:31

No, it's pretty consistent.

0:15:310:15:32

I mean, there would have been a lot more energy had I stayed. More so.

0:15:320:15:35

Yeah, it would have continued. It definitely would have continued.

0:15:350:15:38

Candidates often compare themselves to famous figures,

0:15:380:15:42

famous historical characters.

0:15:420:15:44

Sometimes more unusual than others.

0:15:440:15:47

The historical character I'm most like is Richard the Lionheart.

0:15:470:15:50

I see myself as a mixture of Marilyn Monroe and Joan of Arc.

0:15:500:15:55

If I was to describe myself as a historical figure...

0:15:550:15:57

does Tigger count? LAUGHTER

0:15:570:16:00

-Yeah!

-Well, let me answer that quickly...no!

0:16:020:16:05

Those things, those books didn't actually happen.

0:16:070:16:10

So you've heard the Tigger thing a lot, I presume?

0:16:100:16:13

Yeah, I have, I have. I've been told that from an early age.

0:16:130:16:16

Let us find out now what Lord Sugar

0:16:160:16:19

and your former colleagues had to say about you.

0:16:190:16:21

Tim wants to start a drinks business,

0:16:230:16:25

and this task was all about drinks.

0:16:250:16:28

However, by allowing everyone a say,

0:16:280:16:30

he lost control and he made the wrong decisions.

0:16:300:16:34

I think Tim's a really nice guy.

0:16:340:16:35

I think there has been times he has been a wee bit flustered.

0:16:350:16:38

Tim wasn't very confident in giving his decisions.

0:16:380:16:42

He did fall apart when we went to the factory,

0:16:420:16:44

but I just think he felt out of his depth.

0:16:440:16:47

Tim has loads of energy and enthusiasm,

0:16:470:16:49

but he needs to channel it in the right direction

0:16:490:16:52

to make sure he doesn't make mistakes that cost a lot of money,

0:16:520:16:56

and that's why I fired him.

0:16:560:16:57

He fired you so that you will learn.

0:16:590:17:01

When we say it was a drinks company you're setting up,

0:17:010:17:04

it wasn't an alcoholic drink?

0:17:040:17:05

-No, it wasn't, no, no, no.

-What was the idea?

0:17:050:17:07

It's to launch a new range of Mexican fruit drinks.

0:17:070:17:11

Pre-existing Mexican drinks you're bringing over,

0:17:110:17:13

-or are you inventing..?

-Inventing. We're inventing one.

0:17:130:17:16

I lived in Mexico for 12 months, I learned all about the culture,

0:17:160:17:18

so I feel there's a part of Mexico in me.

0:17:180:17:20

-So if you want an authentic experience, then...

-Fantastic.

0:17:200:17:23

You were a brewer as a hobby?

0:17:230:17:25

Yeah, it was myself and my best friend, Martin.

0:17:250:17:28

We couldn't find any beers that we liked in the UK,

0:17:280:17:30

so we used to spend our weekends making beer at home,

0:17:300:17:33

and back in 2007, we got a £20,000 bank loan,

0:17:330:17:36

we got some second hand stainless steel tanks,

0:17:360:17:39

and we set up our business.

0:17:390:17:40

From 2007, in five-and-half years,

0:17:400:17:42

we've grown to a business that employs 200 people

0:17:420:17:45

and ships our beer to 38 different countries round the planet.

0:17:450:17:48

So from two humans and a dog, we've come a long way.

0:17:480:17:50

You blagged a loan originally, though, didn't you?

0:17:500:17:53

Yeah, well, we got a deal with Tesco just after we started,

0:17:530:17:55

so I was quite excited, and I went to our bank,

0:17:550:17:58

and at that time, the global economy just nosedived.

0:17:580:18:00

It was the credit crunch,

0:18:000:18:02

and I told our bank at the time,

0:18:020:18:03

"We've just got this amazing deal with Tesco,

0:18:030:18:06

"but I'm going to need £100,000 for a new bottling machine,

0:18:060:18:08

"I'm going to need £50,000 for new fermentation tanks,"

0:18:080:18:11

and the bank just laughed at me.

0:18:110:18:12

So what we did, and we had our suits on, we looked quite smart,

0:18:120:18:15

we went to the bank next door and we said to the guys there,

0:18:150:18:18

"Our bank of just offered us an amazing finance package

0:18:180:18:21

"on a bottling line and fermentation tanks,

0:18:210:18:24

"but if you guys can match it, we'll shift all our banking to you.

0:18:240:18:27

"We've got this amazing contract,

0:18:270:18:29

"we're a young, up-and-coming company,"

0:18:290:18:31

and they went for it. So, er...

0:18:310:18:32

LAUGHTER

0:18:320:18:34

I went to the bank and I said,

0:18:340:18:36

"I've got a great business idea.

0:18:360:18:37

"Here's my 50 page business plan. I need £70,000."

0:18:370:18:40

They just sort of said, like, "See you later!"

0:18:400:18:42

But we've made it work through, you know, here, there, and everywhere.

0:18:420:18:45

And, like, as you say, these businesses are employing people,

0:18:450:18:48

so we sort of do need the banks to change their attitudes

0:18:480:18:51

and actually start funding what they think are crazy ideas,

0:18:510:18:54

because some of them pull through.

0:18:540:18:56

OK, now at the start of the new season of The Apprentice,

0:18:560:18:58

it is always difficult to get to know all the candidates.

0:18:580:19:01

I mean, there are so many of them.

0:19:010:19:02

So YouTube superstars, The Brett Domino Trio,

0:19:020:19:05

have joined forces with Radio 1 to help.

0:19:050:19:07

# We've got the posh one we've got the ditzy one

0:19:070:19:10

# We've got the moving his hands about like Miss Piggy one

0:19:100:19:13

# There's a Welsh one, a Northern Irish one, the token geezer

0:19:130:19:16

# And these two lads who look like they should be in Weezer

0:19:160:19:19

# Apprentice, they're going to business you senseless

0:19:190:19:22

# It's the new series yeah, it's starting again

0:19:220:19:25

# Lord Sugar's looking for a candidate he wants to invest in

0:19:250:19:28

# £250,000 to the one who's most impressed him. #

0:19:280:19:31

APPLAUSE

0:19:310:19:33

You can see the full version of this

0:19:380:19:40

on our website at bbc.co.uk/apprentice.

0:19:400:19:42

Let's take a look at the winning team now,

0:19:420:19:44

and although Kurt was project manager,

0:19:440:19:45

you often wouldn't have known that.

0:19:450:19:47

I've come up with absolutely everything in terms of this task.

0:19:470:19:50

I've come up with all the ideas today.

0:19:500:19:52

I've come up with pretty much everything.

0:19:520:19:53

I came up with the product.

0:19:530:19:55

I came up with the flavourings.

0:19:550:19:56

I came up with a flavouring. The flavouring.

0:19:560:19:58

I came up with a little unique twist about getting chocolate.

0:19:580:20:01

That little bit of a twist. The twist of taking the chocolate.

0:20:010:20:03

The sales process.

0:20:030:20:05

I went out and did the majority of sales.

0:20:050:20:07

I came up with a branding name.

0:20:070:20:08

I came up with the name.

0:20:080:20:09

I came up with the name.

0:20:090:20:11

A Bitter This? A Bitter This, my idea again.

0:20:110:20:13

I came up with that, personally.

0:20:130:20:15

Is the idea that if you drink enough of this,

0:20:150:20:17

that name becomes funny, or what?

0:20:170:20:19

Behind every great project manager, there's a Neil Clough.

0:20:210:20:23

There's a Neil Clough.

0:20:230:20:26

Who was that guy(?)

0:20:260:20:28

He very much regards himself as the alpha male of the group.

0:20:280:20:31

Are you enjoying Neil's work?

0:20:310:20:33

He sort of looks...

0:20:330:20:35

He's kind of like a bit...

0:20:350:20:36

looks like sort of Danny Dyer's snarkier, younger brother,

0:20:360:20:40

mixed in with a bit of Norris from Corrie, and a bit of David Brent.

0:20:400:20:45

In a nice way!

0:20:450:20:46

Was he? He's regarded as being quite Machiavellian,

0:20:460:20:49

taking the credit for himself whatever. How is he?

0:20:490:20:51

Yeah, it was...it's hard. He wants to be alpha male, he wants to be the leader,

0:20:510:20:55

so it is hard to get a word in edgeways.

0:20:550:20:57

That's not how business works, it's not how life operates.

0:20:570:21:00

I mean, Neil probably has a great business idea,

0:21:000:21:03

but he was one of the persons in the series

0:21:030:21:04

who came in without a business,

0:21:040:21:06

so I feel he thought he had a lot to prove.

0:21:060:21:08

So from day one, he was just hammering, hammering, hammering,

0:21:080:21:11

and, yes, you can't get a word in edgeways with him.

0:21:110:21:13

It's an interesting one, because there are things

0:21:130:21:16

you can take credit for and things you cannot.

0:21:160:21:18

I mean, this is a bit of this here.

0:21:180:21:20

Again, we don't have it for you to taste,

0:21:200:21:22

but thankfully, the unique flavour of this

0:21:220:21:24

is actually easily available

0:21:240:21:27

in an already quite well-marketed form.

0:21:270:21:29

Mmm! That could work!

0:21:310:21:33

Chocolate and orange together?! It's crazy, isn't it(?)

0:21:330:21:36

Try it. Do you want to try?

0:21:360:21:37

-Yeah, definitely.

-Yeah, it's good, isn't it?

0:21:370:21:40

Don't just spend the rest of the show eating!

0:21:400:21:42

But it's not that dramatic.

0:21:420:21:44

The plan, however, of deciding the flavour from the room where

0:21:440:21:49

they were designing the label,

0:21:490:21:50

while you've already sent four people to go and test the flavour.

0:21:500:21:54

It's almost as sensible and sending somebody to sell your beer

0:21:540:21:59

without taking any of the beer with them.

0:21:590:22:01

Do you know, the genius of it was,

0:22:010:22:03

they actually thought there might be some left in the bottle.

0:22:030:22:06

-They could go...

-HE SNIFFS

0:22:060:22:08

"Oh, that could be great! That could be fantastic!"

0:22:080:22:10

I do like the way they didn't have any.

0:22:100:22:12

They went, "You can sniff it,"

0:22:120:22:13

and I thought, "Why don't they just burp?"

0:22:130:22:15

That's just as insulting.

0:22:150:22:17

-SHE MIMICS A BELCH

-"There you go. You're getting a..."

0:22:170:22:20

"Throw the blanket over the three of us, right?"

0:22:200:22:23

-HE BELCHES

-"Are you getting it? Are you getting it?"

0:22:230:22:26

"Yes, we'll have 12 barrels, please. Thanks!"

0:22:260:22:30

To the wonderful Jason we come now,

0:22:300:22:32

whose approach to a deal seems counterintuitive at best.

0:22:320:22:36

Me and Zeeshan were just at the point of closing a deal at £80.

0:22:360:22:40

Between £80 and £90 a barrel.

0:22:400:22:42

Jason piped up and said, "Ooh, we'll give it to you for £75."

0:22:420:22:44

-Why would you do that?

-I didn't.

-You did.

0:22:440:22:47

How about we sweeten it and do 75?

0:22:470:22:49

I like his pricing.

0:22:490:22:51

This guy has not got a clue!

0:22:510:22:52

I felt they lost the plot.

0:22:520:22:54

-THEY lost the plot?

-Yes, definitely.

0:22:540:22:56

Alex disgraced you, in fact, Lord Sugar.

0:22:560:22:58

When he was swearing at me.

0:22:580:23:00

-You dozy pig! What are you doing?!

-What I did in there

0:23:000:23:03

was slightly more complicated than you've realised.

0:23:030:23:06

-What was more complicated?

-The thing is...

0:23:060:23:08

Mate, I've been closing deals all my life.

0:23:080:23:09

Don't tell me what's complicated. The deal was closed.

0:23:090:23:11

You butted in with no experience, not knowing what you're doing.

0:23:110:23:14

-It was plain deception, Lord Sugar.

-I beg your pardon?

0:23:140:23:16

-Are you from the Office Of Fair Trading?

-No.

0:23:160:23:18

He lost us money on this task.

0:23:180:23:19

You've lost us money, and you've once again proved that you're an amateur.

0:23:190:23:23

They are the most intolerable,

0:23:230:23:24

moronic people I have come across in a long time.

0:23:240:23:28

Jason is, by trade, an academic. He is a man of literature, words.

0:23:280:23:32

Is he too delicate a flower for this?

0:23:320:23:34

I respect his ethics,

0:23:340:23:36

but I don't think he's cut out for the business world.

0:23:360:23:39

Because, basically, when he's talking about plain deception,

0:23:390:23:42

he sort of like, "Well, we've been doing these for, like, 90 a cask."

0:23:420:23:46

He's obviously sitting there going, "This is a lie!"

0:23:460:23:48

-LAUGHTER

-"This is a lie!

0:23:480:23:50

"You just tried to get this man to pay more than it's worth!

0:23:500:23:53

"We've been selling them for 75! You terrible, terrible liar!"

0:23:530:23:56

I mean, it's ethical.

0:23:570:23:59

It's ethical business, but it's not good business.

0:23:590:24:01

But, Z as well. Z's reaction.

0:24:010:24:02

In a business meeting, where one of his colleagues go,

0:24:020:24:05

"We can give to you for £75," you can hear him going,

0:24:050:24:07

"Don't listen to him! This guy's an idiot!

0:24:070:24:10

"We bring him along just for the laughs. Wa-hey!

0:24:100:24:13

"£80! £80! Don't listen to a word that man says!

0:24:130:24:16

"Don't listen to old Chubby Cheeks here! Ah-ha!

0:24:160:24:20

"He's the boss's nephew. I don't know why he's here."

0:24:200:24:23

It's like bringing your own heckler to a gig!

0:24:230:24:25

Yeah, like, going, "Shut up! Shut up!

0:24:250:24:27

"Get back in the box!"

0:24:270:24:28

"You're just making this more difficult!"

0:24:280:24:30

"Get back in the box!" "I don't want to go in box!"

0:24:300:24:33

But, do you like Z? Do you think he's going to be interesting?

0:24:330:24:36

Yeah, I think Z's fun. I must say, I do like Jason,

0:24:360:24:39

because I think is a really good character, so I hope he stays in.

0:24:390:24:43

And I think Z's going to do well.

0:24:430:24:46

I think he just needs time to shine a bit more.

0:24:460:24:49

Why did you think of them?

0:24:490:24:50

I think Jason is absolutely phenomenal.

0:24:500:24:52

I actually think he should be holding out for nothing less

0:24:520:24:55

than the next leader of the Conservative party.

0:24:550:24:58

I do think, if he wants to go into politics, though,

0:24:580:25:00

he's going to need to adjust his attitude to telling lies.

0:25:000:25:03

LAUGHTER

0:25:030:25:06

Now, we've already enjoyed Alex and his look,

0:25:060:25:09

but he outdid himself on the trip to Brussels.

0:25:090:25:14

MUSIC: "Speak Softly Love (Love Theme from The Godfather)" by Nino Rota

0:25:140:25:18

This is lovely, innit?

0:25:280:25:30

The thing is, if you stick the music for The Godfather on it,

0:25:300:25:32

he can look like The Godfather.

0:25:320:25:34

If you change the music, it's a very different look.

0:25:340:25:36

MUSIC: "Only Fools And Horses" by John Sullivan

0:25:360:25:40

This is lovely, innit?

0:25:460:25:48

It's quite solemn, though.

0:25:490:25:50

I just want to go, "You realise your arms

0:25:500:25:53

"are supposed to go in that bit?"

0:25:530:25:55

That's why they sew them on! That's why they're there!

0:25:550:25:57

-Like, you know, if it was a proper cape...

-"Oh, my God!

0:25:570:26:00

"That's marvellous! It's bloody lovely!"

0:26:000:26:03

"My arms were always getting cold,

0:26:030:26:05

"and now they're nice and snug and warm!

0:26:050:26:08

It was funny, though, the way he called Jason, "A silly shit."

0:26:080:26:12

That's the weirdest, you know, insult I've ever heard.

0:26:120:26:16

It's just a juxtaposition of, like, "You silly...shit?"

0:26:160:26:20

-It's weak, isn't it?

-LAUGHTER

0:26:220:26:25

"You blooming...bumhole!"

0:26:250:26:27

Did anyone else strike you?

0:26:310:26:33

Well, not so much me, but Ed was rather taken by Myles.

0:26:330:26:37

-Did you see him, wrapping his towel round himself?

-He's so buff!

0:26:370:26:41

Does he work out? What's his secret?

0:26:410:26:44

Yes! Is he ex-military? The guy's CUT!

0:26:440:26:47

He is Myles Mordaunt, the exceptionally ripped businessman...

0:26:470:26:51

-With his own helicopter pad and all that.

-We can't get...

0:26:510:26:53

No, I don't know if he's got his own helicopter pad,

0:26:530:26:56

but apparently he does live in Monaco as well.

0:26:560:26:58

Wow, it's well fancy.

0:26:580:26:59

OK, it's time for a vote.

0:26:590:27:01

James, do you think Lord Sugar made the right decision?

0:27:010:27:04

No, I think the mistake that Francesca made with the calculations

0:27:040:27:08

had such a big impact on the task

0:27:080:27:09

and how much beer they had to sell,

0:27:090:27:11

so unfortunately, for me, it would have been Francesca.

0:27:110:27:14

-OK, Sara?

-I wouldn't have fired Tim.

0:27:140:27:17

-I think I would have gone for Francesca, maybe.

-Ed?

0:27:170:27:21

I think Francesca as well.

0:27:210:27:22

So, again, you wouldn't have fired Tim?

0:27:220:27:25

No, I wouldn't.

0:27:250:27:26

Could you not have been Lord Sugar's advisers?!

0:27:260:27:28

I could still be in this process, guys!

0:27:280:27:30

Well, let's see what the audience does with this one.

0:27:300:27:32

Again, if you agree with Lord Sugar, hold up, "Fired."

0:27:320:27:34

If you disagree with him, hold up, "Hired."

0:27:340:27:38

Hired! You'd still be in the process there.

0:27:380:27:42

It's definitely hired there.

0:27:420:27:44

OK, Tim, you have bowled us over this week

0:27:440:27:46

with just your boyish enthusiasm,

0:27:460:27:49

your can-do attitude, I mean, just your general bounce.

0:27:490:27:51

Could you stand up for one second? Stand up for one second.

0:27:510:27:54

Because we give a gift every week,

0:27:540:27:56

and I just want really want this one...

0:27:560:27:57

AUDIENCE AWS AND CHEERS

0:27:570:28:00

The only thing we could do would be...

0:28:000:28:03

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Can I put it on?

0:28:030:28:05

Well, I think putting it on maybe difficult.

0:28:050:28:08

Fantastic!

0:28:110:28:14

-Sit down, sit down.

-Can I keep it on?

0:28:140:28:16

No, I think you should remove it. But thank you. Yes.

0:28:160:28:19

-I'm going to keep that!

-Yes, oh, please do!

0:28:190:28:21

It was a gift. You're supposed to.

0:28:210:28:23

TWO terrific weeks in.

0:28:230:28:25

It sounds serious, but you genuinely have made a huge impact.

0:28:250:28:28

Here are your highlights.

0:28:280:28:29

# The wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tiggers are wonderful things... #

0:28:290:28:33

I'm ambitious, hard-working, gregarious, entrepreneurial graduate.

0:28:330:28:36

I'm very enthusiastic.

0:28:360:28:38

Nothing like a glamorous job, is there(?)

0:28:380:28:41

Ask anyone who's drunk it!

0:28:410:28:43

It's absolutely fantastic.

0:28:430:28:45

You haven't tried it, sir?

0:28:450:28:46

I am pushing forward, I am thinking big.

0:28:460:28:48

Your last chance!

0:28:480:28:49

It breaks the mould, sort of take risks.

0:28:490:28:51

Thank you very much, guys.

0:28:510:28:53

You can try yours, and then see if you both want one.

0:28:530:28:55

Against all odds, we bottled it.

0:28:550:28:57

-We bottled it!

-THEY CHEER

0:28:570:28:58

I think all the girls are really upset that he has gone.

0:28:580:29:01

Aw, Tim!

0:29:010:29:02

We all liked him.

0:29:020:29:03

# Cos I'm the only one! #

0:29:030:29:05

Ladies and gentlemen, Tim Stillwell.

0:29:050:29:07

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:29:070:29:11

Thank you, guys!

0:29:110:29:13

And that's it for tonight.

0:29:170:29:19

Thanks to all of my guests, and there's loads more

0:29:190:29:22

on our website at bbc.co.uk/apprentice,

0:29:220:29:24

including Matt Edmondson's awkward conversations

0:29:240:29:26

with the two fired candidates, The Apprentice song, and much more.

0:29:260:29:30

Next week, it's one of my favourite tasks, product design.

0:29:300:29:32

Every year, top quality props comedy.

0:29:320:29:35

Your task is to come up with a flat pack piece of furniture.

0:29:350:29:39

-I'm in the look good industry.

-You're in a time warp!

0:29:400:29:43

Women are smaller than men.

0:29:430:29:45

-You're going to have to design the product.

-Oh, my God!

0:29:450:29:48

Do you guys know what you're doing?

0:29:480:29:50

Whoa, whoa, whoa, this is only 400!

0:29:500:29:52

I want it to be an ATM machine, plus I want it to be a lawnmower...

0:29:520:29:55

I don't even know what it is now.

0:29:550:29:56

-Poxy boxes.

-Don't sit!

0:29:560:29:58

I'm not convinced about it.

0:29:580:29:59

I'd be puzzled and troubled.

0:29:590:30:01

Straight out to the skip and throw it away.

0:30:010:30:03

-Did they buy any?

-No!

0:30:030:30:04

-What is it we're doing?

-Bloody clueless!

0:30:060:30:08

LAUGHTER

0:30:100:30:12

I honestly cannot recommend this episode enough.

0:30:140:30:17

We are back to one show a week from now on,

0:30:170:30:19

so we'll see you next Wednesday. Good night.

0:30:190:30:22
