0:00:06 > 0:00:08It's an opportunity like no other.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12From every corner of the country,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15taking their first steps on a life-changing journey,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Britain's youngest aspiring entrepreneurs.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22To underestimate me would be the most silly thing somebody could do.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26I may look like a five foot one blonde angel, but inside
0:00:26 > 0:00:28I have the heart of a lioness, who will take on
0:00:28 > 0:00:29anybody in her opposition.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31I know that I'm a natural leader.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Men are like dogs, you have to show them who their boss is,
0:00:34 > 0:00:36and then they'll follow.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39I think my drive and determination comes from the fact my parents
0:00:39 > 0:00:40didn't want me to have a life like they had.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Because they've always struggled,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I wanted my own money and my independence.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Thousands applied.
0:00:48 > 0:00:5012 were chosen.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55My biggest achievement in life would be my GCSE results.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58I managed to get 11 A-stars, which I was naturally quite pleased with.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00I started my first business at the age of nine,
0:01:00 > 0:01:02so I really do think that it's just grown on me,
0:01:02 > 0:01:04and become a natural instinct.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Waking up in the morning and owning a business
0:01:06 > 0:01:07are the same thing for me.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14They'll battle it out for the ultimate kick start
0:01:14 > 0:01:15to a career in business -
0:01:15 > 0:01:18an investment worth £25,000.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26But to succeed, they'll have to impress the boss - Lord Sugar.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I know everything. I've seen everything, I've done everything.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34East End boy done good, he left school at 16.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Over 40 years on, he's still at the top of his game,
0:01:38 > 0:01:42with a vast business empire.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Has everybody signed on to the fact that this task
0:01:44 > 0:01:45was all about making money?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49He'll put these budding teenage tycoons through
0:01:49 > 0:01:51a rigorous selection process.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I'm sweating like a pig at the butcher's!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Is there any way that you can possibly push the price down?
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Those sort of comments are poor, from a project manager.
0:02:00 > 0:02:0112 candidates.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Bottom line is, you totally went off the rails, here.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08You're acting like an idiot. You kept shouting over him.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Guys, let it go, let it go, seriously.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Eight weeks.- Well done!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- That's pants. - That's a massive problem.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I was really angry, do you know what I mean?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Don't dodge the question, did you lose control of the task?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23One winner.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25With regret, you're fired.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26You're fired.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28You're fired.
0:02:45 > 0:02:4610am.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51The boardroom.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17You can go through to the boardroom now.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Good morning. - ALL: Good morning, Lord Sugar.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Welcome to my boardroom.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46You've done tremendously well to get here, today,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48out of thousands and thousands of people.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50In a funny way,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I feel quite privileged to have you in front of me,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56because, so far, none of you have walked in with your smartphones.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58For the next eight weeks,
0:03:58 > 0:04:02the only way you're going to be using phones is for business.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Not for playing Angry Birds.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Because that'll make me angry,
0:04:07 > 0:04:13and you don't want to make me angry, I can assure you.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18It's never been harder than now for young people, like you,
0:04:18 > 0:04:22to try and find yourself a job.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24You pick up the newspapers, and as you can see,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26there are lots of companies going to the wall,
0:04:26 > 0:04:30there's even countries on the verge of bankruptcy.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34I believe that it is young entrepreneurs, like you,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38that will bring the prosperity back to our country.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Now, here's a little warning.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45I don't like teacher's pets, and I don't like school bullies.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47This is about the real world.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I'm not making you sit exams, the only grade you'll get here is F,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53for fired.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Now, I might remind you of your granddad.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Here's the main difference.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02You're lucky if your granddad gives you
0:05:02 > 0:05:04a fiver in an envelope at Christmas time.
0:05:06 > 0:05:12I'm going to give you £25,000 to use to further your business ambitions.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15That's what you're playing for here.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Right, so, now, I've got your CVs here, so let me see.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22What have we got, amongst you lot?
0:05:22 > 0:05:27Maximilian Joseph Anthony Semasko Grodecki.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29No-one's going to hack your username, then, are they?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I'll call you Max. What kind of things have you been dabbling in?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37I run sort of a little mini enterprise, which deals
0:05:37 > 0:05:41on one hand with vintage clothes, and on the other hand with collectables.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42Good.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- David.- Yeah?- My God.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Well. Whoa. What a CV we've got here.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51You're the chair of this,
0:05:51 > 0:05:54the chair of that, the chair of something else.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Of course. - You're the chair of everything.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Let's hope your colleagues don't just sit on you. Well done.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01They won't.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- That's a nice outfit you've got on there, sunshine.- Thank you.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Yeah, very nice outfit on, there.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- I hear you're into fashion, is that right?- I am.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Nothing wrong with that. They all start young.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Stella McCartney, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior - who are you?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Patrick McDowell.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Patrick McDowell, actually, has a very nice ring to it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20A Patrick McDowell.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21You might make me a suit, one day.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Hopefully.- Yeah.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26And, Maria, what's your moneymaking skills?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Well, basically, I'm not going to beat around the bush,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I'm 17 years old, I'm not an established entrepreneur,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34but I really pick up on ideas.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38If I see something, if something needs done, I do it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39That's, like, my work ethic.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43You said you're 17 years old, so don't expect too much of me.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Actually, that's exactly when I started my business.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49When I was 17 years old.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Whatever you see now, whatever I've ever done,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54started from those little acorns.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57So, there's nothing wrong with being 17, in fact,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I'm a bit surprised you haven't started already.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03OK. So, now, let's get down to business.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Now, your first task is a very, very interesting one,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and it's all about rags to riches.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14Now, I've got you a tonne each of discarded clothes.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19And your task is to go through them, pick the good stuff,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21and sell it in the marketplace.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27And the team that comes in with the biggest profit will win,
0:07:27 > 0:07:32and the team that loses, at least one of you will be fired.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I'm going to make it simple for myself, initially.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I'm going to have the teams as boys and girls.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Karren will be following the boys' team,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44and Nick will be following the girls' team.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I've got you a very, very nice house.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I don't want any trouble from the neighbours.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- So, everything clear? - ALL: Yes, Lord Sugar.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Yeah? Right, good. OK, well, off you go to the house.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Go and get to know each other, and I'll see you back here
0:07:58 > 0:08:01in this boardroom, in a few days' time,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03and we'll find out which team has won.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- OK?- ALL: Thank you, Lord Sugar.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- You can't learn business from a textbook.- No, no, no. You can't.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Business Studies teachers all around England
0:08:20 > 0:08:23will disagree with you, right now.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24'I'm like a firework.'
0:08:24 > 0:08:26I'm fun, I'm colourful, I'm creative,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28and once I get going, there's no stopping me.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32I think that power just gravitates towards me.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Fair enough.- Yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36'Not only am I academic,'
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I'm social, I'm economical,
0:08:39 > 0:08:40I'm philosophical.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Everything that you can think of, I am it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- These houses are... God. - Unbelievable.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Let's get the biggest room.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Hampstead, north London.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Home, for the next eight weeks, a luxury mansion.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Let's go, let's go!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14We've got a walk-in wardrobe!
0:09:16 > 0:09:17- Push.- Thank you very much.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Games room.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22'I think it inspires you, coming to'
0:09:22 > 0:09:23a house like this, to think that,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26one day, I could own something like this.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30But for now, it's down to business.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34First, both teams need a name.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I was thinking of something like "Platinum".
0:09:36 > 0:09:39My only concern with Platinum is that it just sounds a bit
0:09:39 > 0:09:42cliche, like we're the best, like, platinum.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I've had an idea, but it's a bit strange, it's Latin,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47and it's called "Ex Nihilo"
0:09:47 > 0:09:50and it means something from nothing.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Yeah, no, I like Platinum. - I think we should go for Platinum.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Shall we do that?- Yeah.- It's easy, it's simple. Team Platinum.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Thank you.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I have the name Odyssey.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08It means a journey with great adventures.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I don't think we've got the wow factor as Odyssey.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Can you give us any suggestions, then?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Not right now, I can't, no.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16- I'm backing Odyssey.- Yeah.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's a clever name,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20but I don't think it's necessarily a punchy, business name.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Do you know how to spell Odyssey? - No, I don't.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28O-D-Y-S-S-E-Y.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30'I have a, sort of, minor academic interest in philosophy,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34and I particularly enjoy the pre-Socratics,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38early classical philosophers - Plato, Aristotle, Heraclius, etc.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I've got O-D-E-S-S-Y.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43That one doesn't look particularly classical, to me.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45O-D-Y-S-S-E-Y.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Shall we go with Odyssey on the basis that that's how it's spelt?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- I think we've agreed. Team Odyssey.- Team Odyssey it is.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Team Odyssey it is.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Let's move on and win this task. - Let's do this.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Next, pick a project manager.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I'd quite like to put myself forward.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06I just think it's my type of thing, with the fashion trends.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08But I know, Max, you've got...
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I do have quite a lot of experience of vintage clothes,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15but not selling face to face.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- It's just because I've got experience in this field.- OK.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- So everyone's OK with me? - All for Patrick? Go on, Patrick.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26The strengths in the group are definitely
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Max's vintage clothing, and my fashion expertise.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34And then, I think, Max, I would like you in charge of the sub team.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Yeah.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Who's got any background knowledge into clothing, and stuff like that?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42For the girls, one volunteer.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Bridal shop assistant, and trainee accountant, Ashleigh.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Work in it already, I'm always
0:11:48 > 0:11:50ripping T-shirts up and stuff, as well.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53So is everyone agreed with that? Yeah?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Cool.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00All we've got to do is put 100% in each, and that's 600%.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03And I know we can win this, and I've got faith in all of you.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Let's win this.- Team Platinum.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07ALL: Team Platinum.
0:12:07 > 0:12:13With names and leaders agreed, tomorrow, the rag trade.
0:12:29 > 0:12:308am.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- There you go, Max.- Cheers.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47Max, Max, Max.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49There.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51HE LAUGHS
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Today, both teams must sort and prepare clothes for sale tomorrow.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09They split. Half head off to research the market,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11the rest to a recycling depot.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18Waiting for each team, one tonne of old clothes.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21With over a million tonnes of textiles recycled
0:13:21 > 0:13:26and resold each year, there's plenty of cash to be made from cast-offs.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I think, mainly, this task is more feminine.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I think we're lucky, in the sense that,
0:13:32 > 0:13:34obviously, I've got an eye for fashion, and what's going to sell.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Even though cooking is seen as a feminine thing,
0:13:38 > 0:13:43the best chefs are men, so...we can win this task,
0:13:43 > 0:13:45not because it's made for us, but because
0:13:45 > 0:13:47we're just the better sex.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48DAVID LAUGHS
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- DAVID: Oh, my. PATRICK:- Wow.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01First job, divide the clothes for sale tomorrow
0:14:01 > 0:14:05at Europe's biggest shopping mall, and London's leading car boot sale.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Sifting for the boys, events promoter, Steven,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12private tutor, David,
0:14:12 > 0:14:15and team leader, fashion designer Patrick.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19- What do you think about the corset? Would it sell?- No.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22This looks a little bit vintagey.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Basically, if it's really nice, put it in the shopping centre bag,
0:14:25 > 0:14:29and if it's... Like, the jeans and stuff, just put in car boot.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Who can fit into that? - Cheryl Cole.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Patrick?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Guys, you can't just ask me for everything,
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- because we need to get this all... - I don't know what to look for. OK.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Patrick really has an eye for fashion,
0:14:43 > 0:14:44and he knows what he's looking for.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46He can spot the gems
0:14:46 > 0:14:47within the pile.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Steven and David
0:14:48 > 0:14:50haven't got a clue.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Is this something Cheryl Cole would wear? I don't think so.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57The textiles depot, Deptford.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Rummaging for the girls, Maria, Lucy,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04and project manager, Ashleigh.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Is this a wedding dress? Is this, like, a red wedding dress?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- I don't know.- ASHLEIGH:- That's quite cool, isn't it?
0:15:09 > 0:15:14- It's not for me, but it's quite vintagey.- It is vintagey.
0:15:14 > 0:15:15LUCY: Is this bedding?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19No, it's a cape.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Fancy dress?
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- What about these trousers, do you think anyone would wear these?- No.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I'm going to start opening more bags, because look how many
0:15:28 > 0:15:29- we have to do.- Yeah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I think we need to sort of speed up slightly more.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Obviously, it's the first task,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36so everybody is just getting to know each other.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I feel like we're working more as a team, rather than being led.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Guys, we don't have very long left, so come on, let's keep going.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Yeah, well, we should put everything in black bags.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Right, let's do this really super fast.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58THEY SIGH
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Six miles away, in Beckenham, the boys keep digging.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06There's just so much stuff.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- This is a wetsuit?- Yeah. Can you put that in the special pile, please.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15With the chance for bigger mark-ups, both teams have cash
0:16:15 > 0:16:18to clean and customise the garments.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I think we've got a few good pieces on this rail, you know,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23to do stuff with.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Definitely.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Any money spent will be deducted from tomorrow's sales.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33I think we can do something with this jacket, with the top.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36There's some unusual items in the customising pile.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I think it's just trying to look for things that are a bit quirky,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40that are going to attract people's attention.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45London's West End.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47At an exclusive vintage clothes shop,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Sean, Max and Andrew check out the value of cast-offs.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Typical designers you'll find here, Ossie Clark, Chanel,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Christian Dior, Biba, we always look out for Biba.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00And do you sell any modified items?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05We don't really alter the pieces, if we can help it.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Sometimes we'll lift a hemline,
0:17:07 > 0:17:12just to make it a bit more current, a bit sexier.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16But other than that, we try and keep it as authentic as it can be.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- PHONE RINGS - Hello?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- So, we've just been into the boutique.- Yeah.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25One of the things about modification, she said that she lets the dress
0:17:25 > 0:17:28tell the story, and she really doesn't like to modify things.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29- MAX:- 'But for us, if she does modify,'
0:17:29 > 0:17:32just a nice one or two simple alterations.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34OK.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39The swimsuit, I was thinking we can use the fabric
0:17:39 > 0:17:43from this really quirky one, and add it onto the bottom of this.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- OK.- Right? So, that'll be the top.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49We'll need a few things that will really grab people's attention.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52So, if someone sees that, they're going to think...
0:17:52 > 0:17:53But would they buy it?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56That's the question.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00'Personally, I wouldn't ever even consider buying what
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Patrick is intending to sell.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I feel that, maybe,
0:18:05 > 0:18:10just one in 66 million people who live in the UK would buy his product.
0:18:13 > 0:18:152pm.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Next stop for the girls, a launderette,
0:18:19 > 0:18:25with a van full of clothes, and plans to spend cash on customising.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28We've got a black dress, this black coat, we were thinking,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30maybe, studs here, like stud collar.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32These would be really cool studded?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Like the pockets, really cool studded.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I agree, I really like that idea. I really like that.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40But for trainee accountant Ashleigh,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43what counts is profit.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Listen to me. With this brand of jeans, it's a £40 pair of jeans.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49They've clearly been worn, they're meant to be black,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51they're not black anymore.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54They're not vintage, you're going to be paying £15 for studs,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56and you're going to get 20 quid for them.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59I'm just going to put my foot down, for the team,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01and say we're not doing any tailoring.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02- Not doing any at all?- No.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04As project manager, is that your decision?
0:19:04 > 0:19:06That's my decision, not to do it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Hopefully, they'll respect me for it at end,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10because it's a money-saving thing.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I'm not just being unreasonable,
0:19:12 > 0:19:13or saying, "Oh, I don't like it."
0:19:13 > 0:19:16You don't need to wash half of this stuff.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20I was thinking, a limit of about £50.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22We need to just be careful with it,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25but I don't know if we should be as really stingy with it, either.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Every penny counts. Could be £2 between us and the boys,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31so, you don't want to risk that extra money, do you?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Holborn, a central London tailor's.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Home territory for fashion designer, Patrick.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43So, we were thinking, if we take the top of this swimsuit,
0:19:43 > 0:19:48and try and, almost, create a corset-looking type thing.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52If we go up with the curve,
0:19:52 > 0:19:57and then add the kimono fabric,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59here, on.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02And make, kind of, a loose fitting...
0:20:02 > 0:20:04You want to make a dress?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Almost like a handkerchief skirt, on it.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- OK, but they're connected?- Yeah.
0:20:08 > 0:20:14OK. Yeah, so, the wetsuit kimono is going to be 35.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17My initial logic tells me that
0:20:17 > 0:20:21we'll find it quite hard to make a profit from that. Is it worth it?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I'm finding it quite tough to be the project manager for this task.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Just because I didn't expect the boys to be
0:20:27 > 0:20:29so inexperienced in the area.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Then for our next one we were thinking, obviously,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35that's fairly large.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- So maybe you could take that down to like a size, maybe, a size 12.- OK.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Trying to get the other members of the team to kind of understand
0:20:43 > 0:20:45what I'm going for is quite hard, I think,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48cos I don't think they've necessarily got the fashion eye for things.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51It's £133.20.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59- Yes.- OK, see you soon.- Thank you. - Thanks a lot. Good luck.
0:21:01 > 0:21:044pm. For both teams, a bulk wash.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07It's not fast enough.
0:21:07 > 0:21:14- Sprucing up the girls' garments - Amy, Navdeep and Alice.- Oh!
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Keeping down costs with a quick sniff.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21If it just smells a bit then we don't need to waste any money
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- putting in...- Unless it makes you gag.- Yeah. So, it's the gag test.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27If it makes you gag, it goes in the wash, basically.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Where do we put it? - How do you do this?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Normally there's like a little slot. - Yeah.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Oh, you put it in this.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- No, that's money.- Will we just put it in? Let's just put it in.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40No, no, no, no.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42It's a bit dodgy. I don't think you're meant to.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46There's cups. Cups to, obviously, like, chuck it in.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Then it'll smell nice.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- We've bought it, we might as well use it, mightn't we?- Yeah.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Not too much.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Yeah, don't go too crazy cos then it will start foaming up.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Don't put them in there. - Where should it go?- That's a dryer.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04That don't wash. That's the washing machines.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I knew it. I told you it was a dryer. I told you it was a dryer.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Oh, it just went in my shoe.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Incredibly embarrassing experience because I do wash at home.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18That's still a bit wet. Oh, it stinks in here.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Guys, this is still wet. I can't iron this.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Let's go.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Grab as many as you can.- Yeah.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Get in.- Everything?- Yes.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Washing done, it's back to the house.
0:22:48 > 0:22:54Today, both teams have eight hours to sell their hand-picked clothes.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Half head for a car boot sale,
0:22:57 > 0:23:01the rest to London's largest shopping mall.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06With over 100,000 shoppers expected, the boys set up their display.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Can we have everything on the right hangers as well, please?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Taking pride of place, the latest creations from Patrick.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20That looks good, I think.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- That's £5, is that OK?- Yeah.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Brilliant, thank you.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Feeling good. First sale and I did it
0:23:29 > 0:23:31so hopefully Lord Sugar will be impressed with that.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34What was that? 30 seconds in? Bam.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Two floors up, the girls.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44And the whiff of half-washed clothes.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48I kind of think I'll just put it on here
0:23:48 > 0:23:51and then I'll flog it at some point when it's a bit drier.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Oh, this is the wet bag.
0:23:53 > 0:23:59Just hang it up and a bit over. OK, just... Yeah, OK.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Talking up the stock to passing trade - Amy.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Excuse me, do you like designer clothes for quite cheap?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I've got lots of designer brands over there. Under 20 quid.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Do you want to look at our designer store? We've got loads of things under £20.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I've got brands like Burberry, things like that.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16- Are you interested?- No, thank you. - OK.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19It's not really all designer and it's not all under £20.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Why don't you just go,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23"We are a one-stop vintage shop today, would you be interested
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- "in looking at some of our stuff?" - It's not under £20.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27We need to get people in and no-one is coming.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I think that that one complements your skin as well.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- I love pink actually.- Do you?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Pulling in sales for the boys,
0:24:36 > 0:24:39a charm offensive from David and Steven.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43So, that's £40 altogether. Brilliant, thank you.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47I am willing to put down the price because you have such a nice smile.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51You're such a smoothie.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54OK, so that's £12 altogether.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56We would obviously give you a discount
0:24:56 > 0:24:59because you have such a pretty smile.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Are you OK there, madam, or would you like any help?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- No, it came off the hanger.- OK.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07My tactic of flirtation is obviously working.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10However, I feel that some of us aren't pulling our weight today.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11In the sales book,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15only me and Steven have sold.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- This jumper will go if you don't buy it.- Thank you very much.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Thanks a lot.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24In all honesty, I think you were lucky with
0:25:24 > 0:25:26that customer that she was quite conversational.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30I don't know whether you should approach everyone like that.
0:25:30 > 0:25:3411am. Battersea car boot sale.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Still setting up - the rest of the boys.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Having blazers on the rail hanging up makes a big difference.- Yeah.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Taking charge of the display - straight A student Max.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49- If all the jackets go on the rail, it does make sense.- Yes.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Jackets and good stuff go on the rails.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Is that the final decision? This is getting silly.- Yeah, I know, but we have so little space.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Just say if it's the final decision.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Final say is all proper jackets go on the rail with the designer stuff.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Right, that's the final decision then.- Yeah.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09I think if you focus on selling, now, and I'll keep on setting up.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12We don't need more than one person selling. There's so much to get ready.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14We don't need more than one person selling?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Selling makes money. We are here to make money.- I know, but...
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Arguing is not what to do either so sort it out and I'll start selling.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Yeah, £3.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25You're very smart for a car boot sale.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- Thank you very much. You're not looking too bad yourself.- Thank you.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Andrew's got the banter. He's engaging with the public,
0:26:32 > 0:26:33he's doing deals.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Max hasn't attempted to make a sale yet.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38He's far more interested in folding and refolding
0:26:38 > 0:26:42and folding again a few items that are out. He's got to engage.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46It's all about the selling now. It's not about how the stall looks.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Midday.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Around the corner - the girls.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53But sales are slow.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56There's no-one walking past.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59To get bargain hunters to stop - a plan from project manager Ashleigh.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03If you guys sell upfront then they've got to talk to you.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I'll give you that for £4.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Go on. You'll regret it otherwise.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11No.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13I've seen a really nice thing that'd be quite nice on you.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17This colour. Being a blonde myself, I understand it's really hard to get colours to go with you.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Isn't that lovely on her? Isn't that really lovely?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23You know when a lady was stood there?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25You're stood over her shoulder watching her.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28She is just going to put it back down and walk off.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29I don't think I was.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I think this car boot sale is an absolute disaster,
0:27:34 > 0:27:35to be honest with you.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37We're all being way too forceful on people
0:27:37 > 0:27:40and it's just putting them straight off.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- 'Hi, guys.'- Hello.- Hello.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46- All right?- So, like, how much have you made altogether?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48To be honest, it's hard sales.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50A lot of the clothes, nobody is really liking.
0:27:50 > 0:27:51'How are you doing?'
0:27:51 > 0:27:54'Not very well, to be honest.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56'I just need to reiterate the fact'
0:27:56 > 0:27:58that you've got the all money items.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02We are selling things for £2 or £3, 20p.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05'One item difference with you could be a massive difference.'
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Yeah, that's fine, we'll work as hard as we can to try and shift everything.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11All right, guys, well, we'll see you later.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Good luck. Bye-bye.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14Bye.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18So we've just got to sell it.
0:28:19 > 0:28:233pm - peak time for trade at the mall.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27We have some outrageous things like, you know,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30we have something that actually our boss designed himself.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- OK then.- This.- Whoa.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Where would you wear that to?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41With his pricey tailored items failing to find buyers,
0:28:41 > 0:28:44a new plan from Patrick.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Are you guys happy with us to move on from here
0:28:46 > 0:28:50just because I don't think the customers seem to be slowing down?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Yeah, I think that we should maybe wait 20 more minutes
0:28:52 > 0:28:56and really try and push it through, give some discount,
0:28:56 > 0:28:59and then we can try and look at some more shops and boutiques
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- that we can sell at.- OK.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Sales have been steady so far, but they haven't been excellent.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07The customised items have had a lot of interest
0:29:07 > 0:29:09and I think they've brought people over to the store,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11but we haven't actually sold them yet.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Selling bulk to the industry will be a better move.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19If we had more time, I'd have shown you some more of our products,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22but, you know, we're pushing on time right now.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- Thank you.- Yeah, thanks.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- We need to leave now.- Yes, tell me, be patient, calm down!
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- What do we need, tell me?!- Put all the blazers in one bag.- OK, thanks.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Right at its busiest, they've decided to pack up
0:29:36 > 0:29:39and go and flog their stuff to a retailer who is going to pay
0:29:39 > 0:29:43nothing like the margin a customer will pay.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45It's such a high risk strategy
0:29:45 > 0:29:47and I really don't understand the logic behind it.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Upstairs, cashing in on the crowds - the girls.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56I've got your gorgeous coat jacket here.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- What do you think, sold? - Yes, sold.- Good.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I really like it. I can see you on a motorbike with your collar up,
0:30:01 > 0:30:05that jacket, those sunglasses, I love it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07And those shoes are going really well with it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10My sales technique is quite cheesy -
0:30:10 > 0:30:13just sort of tell them constantly how good they look.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15I really like it.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17I actually love that and I'm not saying that because I work here.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I don't like it. I don't like the colour, I don't like the shape.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- Is this your girlfriend?- Yes.- OK.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25If you wear that with your friends when she's not there,
0:30:25 > 0:30:27you'll get, "Hmm, that's good."
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- If you want to go and get this done, I'll go to 28.- OK.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- Thank you, we've got a deal, £28, yeah?- No problem, OK.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35OK, great, thank you.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38She went, "I don't like it, I don't like it."
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I was going to be, like, "Mate, get a new girlfriend!"
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Heading for shops in Shoreditch - the boys.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48I thought that the sales were starting to pick up
0:30:48 > 0:30:51just before we left.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54We probably would have done a few more sales, but let's just hope...
0:30:54 > 0:30:58I don't think we would have sold as much as we could do
0:30:58 > 0:31:00at these vintage shops.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06At the Battersea boot sale, it's busy for Sean and Andrew...
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Are you two done yet? You're fleecing me! You're fleecing me!
0:31:09 > 0:31:1211 for the two. Cheers.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14..while Max manages the stock.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17The shirt's only £3.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19You can be paying hundreds of quid for them in shops.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I'll do you both for £20.
0:31:21 > 0:31:2318.
0:31:23 > 0:31:2518? Deal, nice one.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31My role mainly throughout the day is get stuff out of the van,
0:31:31 > 0:31:33get it into men's, women's, separates,
0:31:33 > 0:31:38organise it, and Sean and Andrew have been pushing the selling,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40and doing a great job on that.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Jeans over there, fiver, half price.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46If you're interested in...
0:31:46 > 0:31:49There's a bargain box here all for £2.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Max wasn't really telling us any structure or anything,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56but now we've got into it, there's all sorts of patter coming out.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58I have no idea about half the stuff I've said to people
0:31:58 > 0:32:02whereas Max just seems to be wandering around a little bit.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06London's East End.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10With the wetsuit kimono heading up his collection of customised clothes,
0:32:10 > 0:32:15Patrick and the boys hit Brick Lane,
0:32:15 > 0:32:16home to retro retail.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20First stop, a leading vintage boutique.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23The most funky item...
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Wow.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- It's like a swimsuit dress... - That's amazing.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27..that we actually got made.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31Is that both vintage materials?
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- This is a vintage kimono and this is the swimsuit top.- That's incredible.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39You know, if you made, like, a range of these
0:32:39 > 0:32:42then there might be something that would be more saleable
0:32:42 > 0:32:47because all the altered products that we sell we do as a range of clothing.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Would you be willing to talk to us about a price
0:32:51 > 0:32:54that we could give you for the one-off items?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57As I said, I'd rather do it as a range rather than one item.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01In that case, I would feel that you would be losing out on it
0:33:01 > 0:33:04to be honest with you.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- I'm afraid not, no. - You sure?- Sorry.
0:33:06 > 0:33:105.30pm.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12For both teams, half an hour to go.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15If we don't sell this stuff, it's all dead stock
0:33:15 > 0:33:16- so I say, literally...- Pounds.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18- ..give it away for pounds. - Yeah, fine, let's do it.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Come on, get yourself around here! Everything's a pound off. 50p!
0:33:24 > 0:33:25£2, anything on here.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26£3.50!
0:33:26 > 0:33:29£1 for everything on that rail.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32£1 for anything.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33I'll give it two for £2.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36BOTH: Fiver for everything here!
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Still convinced his wetsuit kimono's a winner,
0:33:39 > 0:33:40a final push from Patrick.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43I'm going to show you one thing that we've got
0:33:43 > 0:33:45which is our most unusual piece,
0:33:45 > 0:33:50which is the swimsuit dress, a vintage kimono.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Yeah, you probably should have left the kimono as it was really.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Would you be interested in taking all the bags?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Just chuck a price out there.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03All right, I'll give you 40 quid for the lot.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- What about 70?- No.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07No, not at all. 60?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- Do 45.- No, 40 quid.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Do you want to take them home or do you want 40 quid?
0:34:11 > 0:34:13We'll take £40, thank you.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- Fine, that's fine.- Thanks.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Thank you very much.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25Out of time, it's back to the house.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30Tomorrow, the boardroom, and Lord Sugar.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- Good morning. - ALL: Good morning, Lord Sugar.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Well, this was a very interesting task.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42I'll tell you where it came from because I was
0:35:42 > 0:35:46thinking about myself when I was about your age
0:35:46 > 0:35:48and one of the enterprising things that I did
0:35:48 > 0:35:51was to go around collecting rags
0:35:51 > 0:35:57from the garment factories and sell them to the local rag and bone man.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01When you left me here the last time, I sent you back to the house,
0:36:01 > 0:36:04you've all got to know each other, I take it?
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Yes.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10The other thing was to come up with a name for your team, yeah?
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- So, ladies, what name did you come up with?- Platinum.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16They say when a piece of music goes platinum that means
0:36:16 > 0:36:20it's sold a million so do you reckon you sold a million in this task?
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Hmm...OK.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- And who was your project manager? - I was project manager.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26How did that come about?
0:36:26 > 0:36:29I work in a bridal fabric shop with a haberdashery and design,
0:36:29 > 0:36:30and that sort of thing.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33So tell me, what happened, Ashleigh, after that?
0:36:33 > 0:36:34Did you split your team, what did you do?
0:36:34 > 0:36:38I put myself, Lucy and Maria in a team together.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- So who did all the laundry stuff? - We did.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Yeah? Have you done any laundry or do you leave it to your mums?
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- Yeah, of course we have! - Are you sure?
0:36:45 > 0:36:48This must be the first time you've seen a washing machine.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Did you work out which was a washing machine and which was a dryer?
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Eventually, we did, yes.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Did the boss give you any guidelines about how much money
0:36:54 > 0:36:56you should spend?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59She's an accountant, you know, so they're notoriously mean.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Do you think you controlled the money?
0:37:02 > 0:37:04I put my foot down where it needed putting down.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08So now, tell me, who went to the high-end shopping centre?
0:37:08 > 0:37:09That was the three of us.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Was there any special technique upon which you embarked upon selling...
0:37:13 > 0:37:14I was a little bit...
0:37:14 > 0:37:17..apart from wrestling the customers to the ground?
0:37:17 > 0:37:18No.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Amy was terrifying.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24She met one young couple and told the young chap
0:37:24 > 0:37:27that if he wore this jacket, he will be deeply attractive to women.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30His girlfriend, her eyes brimming with hatred!
0:37:30 > 0:37:34Yes, his girlfriend hated me, but he bought the jacket.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38So anyway, ladies, good project manager?
0:37:38 > 0:37:41Yeah, she's very cool, calm and collected, I'd say.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43I might have disagreed on some slight things, but other than that,
0:37:43 > 0:37:44I think...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47How did you think your team supported you? Good all round?
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Yeah, they were fantastic.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51I made some decisions which were hard for the group to understand,
0:37:51 > 0:37:54but hopefully that will show in the results
0:37:54 > 0:37:58that I made those decisions for the right reason.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59So, well, gentlemen,
0:37:59 > 0:38:04first of all, you came up with a team name of Odyssey, I understand.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Whose idea was that? - That was my idea.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08It was a great name.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Unfortunately you couldn't spell it, could you, David?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- I thought you tutored kids.- Yeah.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16I'm bad at spelling and I don't put myself forward as tutoring people.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18How can you be a tutor and can't spell?
0:38:20 > 0:38:25- Anyway, who was the project manager? - I was project manager, Lord Sugar.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- OK, you put yourself forward? - I put myself forward.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30I felt I had the most expertise in this area.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33You do a bit of vintage clothing, don't you?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36If Patrick hadn't put himself forward with enthusiasm
0:38:36 > 0:38:38or if the team hadn't backed him fully,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41I would have put myself forward,
0:38:41 > 0:38:44but I sort of thought he would probably be better for the job.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Now, another part of the task was to customise a number of items.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53So we a took scuba diving suit, kimono...
0:38:53 > 0:38:54What? What?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57I took a picture for you to give you an idea.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Lord Sugar, can I just say it's quite amazing watching Patrick work
0:39:00 > 0:39:01cos you can just see the clock's ticking.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Congratulations on this.
0:39:03 > 0:39:08You have made something that I think even Lady Gaga would turn down!
0:39:08 > 0:39:12What was this for? A cocktail party on the Titanic or something!?
0:39:12 > 0:39:16This attracted customers to our stalls so I thought that was useful.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19All right, good team leader or not, chaps?
0:39:19 > 0:39:21I would say that he was a decent team leader,
0:39:21 > 0:39:22but I wouldn't say he was the best...
0:39:22 > 0:39:25But the thing was, David, I was dealing with a team
0:39:25 > 0:39:26that didn't have any experience in the field.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28All right, look, proof of the pudding
0:39:28 > 0:39:30is going to be in the eating here
0:39:30 > 0:39:34so Nick, perhaps, if you've got the numbers for me.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42So, Platinum, total sales...
0:39:42 > 0:39:45£559.90.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Expenditure £106.54 and that generated a profit
0:39:50 > 0:39:54of £453.36.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02Karren, let's hear how Odyssey got on.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06OK, well, total sales, £501.24.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11They spent more. £170.87.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16Which left you with a profit of £330.37.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19MUFFLED EXCITEMENT
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Well done, ladies. Well done, ladies.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29It looks like the key to this was the accountant here,
0:40:29 > 0:40:31keeping a tight rein on the money.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Very, very well done.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36In return for this, I'm going to send you on a nice treat.
0:40:36 > 0:40:42You're going to go on a high-speed ride down the famous River Thames.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45So I'd like you to enjoy yourself
0:40:45 > 0:40:48and I'll see you on the next task, OK?
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Well done, Ashleigh.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Gentlemen, you brought a whole new meaning to losing your rag,
0:41:02 > 0:41:05that's for sure.
0:41:05 > 0:41:09I think you need to go away and discuss this amongst yourselves
0:41:09 > 0:41:12and then I'll call you back in here and we'll go through it
0:41:12 > 0:41:17in far more detail and regretfully, one of you will be fired.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- Off you go and have a chat. - Thank you, Lord Sugar.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32You're all going to be given a life jacket, OK?
0:41:32 > 0:41:34But in the unlikely event that you went into the water
0:41:34 > 0:41:37and they don't inflate, there's a little red toggle, OK?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39I'm so excited!
0:41:41 > 0:41:42This is the way to see London.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51THEY SCREAM
0:42:06 > 0:42:12- This is amazing. The adrenaline rush.- I know!
0:42:12 > 0:42:14The treat has motivated the girls so much.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17We've got a taste for it now and it's not going to be the last.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34I'm a bit disappointed.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39I feel we all tried our best, but something clearly went wrong.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44Maybe, Max, I'm not really sure what your role has been in this.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47I was the person organising the boot fair,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50I was the person making sure it could happen, getting things off the truck.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54I don't think I did a perfect job on the task,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57but I certainly think I did a good one.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01I think the real issue that lost us this task was down to profit and the fact we overspent on the tailoring.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Yeah, and didn't sell.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07'At the end of the day, this was Patrick's judgement,'
0:43:07 > 0:43:10it's his speciality and he may have lost us quite a lot of money.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14I had to manage a team and basically
0:43:14 > 0:43:15teach you fashion cos none of you knew.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18Because you all said, "We've got no experience."
0:43:18 > 0:43:20"Patrick, what's this, what's that?"
0:43:20 > 0:43:22And then I had to try and lead the team as well.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27Without me in the team, we wouldn't even have had anything to sell.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44INTERCOM RINGS
0:43:47 > 0:43:52- Can you send the candidates in, please?- Yes, Lord Sugar.
0:43:52 > 0:43:53You can go through to the boardroom now.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07Right, gentlemen.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10Has everybody signed on to the fact that this task
0:44:10 > 0:44:11was all about making money?
0:44:11 > 0:44:12Yes.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15- This was not a design task.- Exactly.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18In hindsight, I would spend less time on the design,
0:44:18 > 0:44:20would focus more on the pricing and selling.
0:44:20 > 0:44:24Because I think at the end of the day we didn't sell the tailored items.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28But I don't think that was the main factor that made us lose.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30- You have got your own designer brand.- Yep.
0:44:30 > 0:44:34And you know how important it is for there to be designer labels, right?
0:44:34 > 0:44:36The things I sorted,
0:44:36 > 0:44:39I did put the designer labels into the shopping centre piles.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42What was the designer label on this? The label on the sleeve?
0:44:42 > 0:44:44Designed by Frankenstein, or what?
0:44:44 > 0:44:47I thought that would attract customers to the stand, which it did.
0:44:47 > 0:44:51- It wasn't meant for selling then? - Yeah, it was meant for selling.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53That's obviously a very specific item.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56Patrick is saying that we spent the £137
0:44:56 > 0:44:59to make the items so that they can attract customers.
0:44:59 > 0:45:01What's the point of attracting customers?
0:45:01 > 0:45:03We're meant to be selling to them.
0:45:03 > 0:45:07I arranged for you to be at one of the greatest retail locations
0:45:07 > 0:45:09in the country, and you decided
0:45:09 > 0:45:12that you were going to leave there and go to
0:45:12 > 0:45:16what you might consider to be a trendy destination at Brick Lane.
0:45:16 > 0:45:20That was mainly because you must've had in your mind your special items.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23I thought that obviously because we had spent a lot of money on them
0:45:23 > 0:45:25I hoped they would sell there.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27Whilst they were packing away,
0:45:27 > 0:45:31I was still selling to customers and there were plenty of people around.
0:45:31 > 0:45:35If you look at how much I was selling per hour,
0:45:35 > 0:45:39and then extrapolate that, we would've made more than £40.
0:45:39 > 0:45:43In the shopping centre, the best seller was Steven.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47He sold £107 worth of merchandise.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51You sold £85 worth, you, David,
0:45:51 > 0:45:54and Patrick sold £57 worth. OK?
0:45:54 > 0:45:58In the car boot, Andrew £53,
0:45:58 > 0:46:01Sean £40,
0:46:01 > 0:46:03and Max 14.
0:46:03 > 0:46:08So overall we conclude that you're useless at selling.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10I wasn't a seller, Lord Sugar.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13My role was the organiser, director, getting stuff out the van all day,
0:46:13 > 0:46:17making sure the stall was running and sorting out stuff.
0:46:17 > 0:46:21Bottom line is, you beat the girls on the car boot sale, OK?
0:46:21 > 0:46:25But they nearly got double the amount of sales as you
0:46:25 > 0:46:28at the shopping centre, which was the big venue.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32It was supposed to be the crescendo of this task.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35The idea of getting the best merchandise out of that pile,
0:46:35 > 0:46:37that's where you were supposed to
0:46:37 > 0:46:40make your money. What went wrong at the shopping centre?
0:46:40 > 0:46:43I think the thing that went wrong was we moved too early.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46It was so busy, you had to fight the crowds to get out.
0:46:46 > 0:46:48- Sean, what's your call on things? - There were two things.
0:46:48 > 0:46:52Obviously the pricing of the tailoring cut us back a bit.
0:46:52 > 0:46:55And then I also believe after lunchtime
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Max could've come out and helped us sell. If he matched our price
0:46:58 > 0:47:00- we'd be a lot closer to the girls. - Patrick.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02It is the first task here,
0:47:02 > 0:47:06I know how difficult it is to step up and be the project manager.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09But now there's another difficult task that you've got to do.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12I'd like to know who you want to bring back in the boardroom.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16I'm going to bring back...
0:47:20 > 0:47:24I'm going to bring back David and Max.
0:47:26 > 0:47:31Right. You other three gentlemen, I'll see you on the next task.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34- ALL: Thank you, Lord Sugar. - Good luck, boys.
0:47:39 > 0:47:43Gentlemen, if you three would step outside for a while,
0:47:43 > 0:47:45I'll have a chat with Karren and Nick, of course,
0:47:45 > 0:47:47who's been listening very carefully.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50So step outside and I'll call you back in later.
0:47:50 > 0:47:52Thank you, Lord Sugar.
0:47:59 > 0:48:04Well, let's not forget what we have here. 16 and 17-year-olds.
0:48:04 > 0:48:08I sometimes forget, I'm talking to them as if they're adults,
0:48:08 > 0:48:10and they're very, very credible, and it's going to be a shame
0:48:10 > 0:48:12because one of them is going home.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15But I think project manager, Patrick,
0:48:15 > 0:48:21I do believe that he lost the plot as far as the task is concerned,
0:48:21 > 0:48:24meaning it was all about trying to sell as much stuff as possible,
0:48:24 > 0:48:27and that is borne out by the fact that they shut down
0:48:27 > 0:48:31at the shopping centre and they went off to Brick Lane,
0:48:31 > 0:48:33and I think that was a killer blow.
0:48:33 > 0:48:38In terms of specifics, he negotiated, he designed, he sold.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40He did do all those things,
0:48:40 > 0:48:43he did them to a greater or lesser degree throughout the task,
0:48:43 > 0:48:46more so than some others who did a bit of hiding, did a bit of folding.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51Max, I found him quite articulate, really.
0:48:51 > 0:48:55He's also an A-star student, clever boy.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57Sales tasks, you've got to sell.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00And if you can find an excuse whereby you're relieved of selling,
0:49:00 > 0:49:02then it's a safe place to hide.
0:49:03 > 0:49:04INTERCOM RINGS
0:49:07 > 0:49:11- Can you send the three of them in, please?- Yes, Lord Sugar.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13Lord Sugar will see you now.
0:49:28 > 0:49:29Patrick.
0:49:29 > 0:49:33Why did you bring Max back in the boardroom, as a matter of interest?
0:49:33 > 0:49:36Whilst I understand that there needed to be someone
0:49:36 > 0:49:37to put things out at the car boot sale
0:49:37 > 0:49:38I didn't feel it was
0:49:38 > 0:49:41that large a stall that needed someone permanently there,
0:49:41 > 0:49:44and I felt that that was probably a big contributor
0:49:44 > 0:49:48to why we didn't make as much money as we could have done.
0:49:48 > 0:49:52I don't really like being criticised for this not-selling thing.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55I would have loved to spend the day selling. I think it would have been easier,
0:49:55 > 0:49:58and probably a lot more enjoyable than what I was doing.
0:49:58 > 0:50:01And I was quite aware that it might look bad on my part
0:50:01 > 0:50:03not having very good figures.
0:50:03 > 0:50:07I didn't feel that three of us just doing a bit of everything
0:50:07 > 0:50:08was going to be efficient.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11It's a car boot sale. It doesn't need to be super-organised.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13And it wasn't that large a stall.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16It needed the three of you to sell.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19Do you think you are responsible for the failure of this task?
0:50:19 > 0:50:21Certainly not. I'm sure I wasn't perfect,
0:50:21 > 0:50:24but I think all the stuff I did, I did a good job.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Where do you think the responsibility lay
0:50:26 > 0:50:27for the failure of this task, then?
0:50:27 > 0:50:30The slightly unsuitable design of the clothes,
0:50:30 > 0:50:31and the overspend on tailoring,
0:50:31 > 0:50:35and the additional one of leaving the shopping centre too early.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38Unfortunately, although I really do admire
0:50:38 > 0:50:40his undoubted creativity and energy,
0:50:40 > 0:50:43I think Patrick was ultimately responsible for those things.
0:50:43 > 0:50:44I disagree.
0:50:45 > 0:50:49David, what's the reason for the failure and who's responsible?
0:50:49 > 0:50:53I think that Patrick is responsible because I feel that we,
0:50:53 > 0:50:56number one, overspent on tailoring the items and then
0:50:56 > 0:50:58number two we left the mall too early
0:50:58 > 0:51:02which at the end of the day, it was your suggestion.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05"I have a perfect balance between being creative
0:51:05 > 0:51:09"and being a businessperson." This is your description, your words.
0:51:09 > 0:51:10Yeah.
0:51:10 > 0:51:14"I believe that I am unique by offering a new take on ideas
0:51:14 > 0:51:17"and that whilst being strong-minded and opinionated
0:51:17 > 0:51:20"I'm able to listen to those who have opinions."
0:51:20 > 0:51:24I want you to answer very clearly to me
0:51:24 > 0:51:28my concern that you went off on a tangent here.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31- I was making sure that the business side of things ran smoothly as well. - Was you?
0:51:31 > 0:51:36I started my business when I was about your age and, you know,
0:51:36 > 0:51:38I had my eye on the ball, on the money.
0:51:38 > 0:51:42On the selling. Were you on the ball there, did you know about the money?
0:51:42 > 0:51:45I knew that the tailored items were bringing people in.
0:51:45 > 0:51:48You didn't sell one piece of the tailored items
0:51:48 > 0:51:51at the recommended retail price that you put on them.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53- Not one piece.- No, we didn't.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57David, I've had a quick look through your application here.
0:51:57 > 0:52:01The way you deal with men, for example - "They are like dogs,
0:52:01 > 0:52:04"you can get them eating from your hands."
0:52:04 > 0:52:07What are you going on about there? Are these two dogs here or what?
0:52:07 > 0:52:11I do believe that people in this task did act like dogs.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13They didn't know what they were doing.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16I believe that this task was made for Patrick,
0:52:16 > 0:52:18however he didn't take control of it.
0:52:18 > 0:52:22- Where was his failure, then? - I don't doubt his bravery at all.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25I just believe that some people are not made for the business industry.
0:52:25 > 0:52:29He's taken over £1,000, I think it is, flogging his stuff.
0:52:29 > 0:52:33- 1,140, and I've actually secured... - 1,140, any advance on that?
0:52:33 > 0:52:37At the same time, if you look at my CV, I am doing numerous things
0:52:37 > 0:52:41- and I am excelling at every single... - I do numerous things as well.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43- I got to this position. - I try so hard.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45To be honest, I think you see
0:52:45 > 0:52:49- I'm a boy that does fashion and think I'm this person you can push around.- Certainly not.
0:52:49 > 0:52:51Am going to tell you, David, that I think that's ridiculous.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54I listened to you as project manager and I told you
0:52:54 > 0:52:59- when you were doing things wrong. - You seem to be saying that everything I've been doing is wrong.
0:52:59 > 0:53:01I wouldn't say that everything you did is wrong.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03I said that we came to you as someone...
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- You said that I was responsible for the failure of the task.- Yeah.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08That doesn't mean that you did everything wrong.
0:53:08 > 0:53:12- Did he do anything right? - I haven't heard it if I did.
0:53:14 > 0:53:18Tell me something, Max. Why should you remain in this process?
0:53:18 > 0:53:22You're an exceptionally intelligent fellow,
0:53:22 > 0:53:26I'm wondering whether you're one of those guys that is
0:53:26 > 0:53:30a bit of a thinker and is less of, with respect, a doer, really.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33I think it's easy because my plan was a bit quiet
0:53:33 > 0:53:36to think I wasn't doing much, but I think it's not an easy job
0:53:36 > 0:53:38and I think I did quite well at it.
0:53:38 > 0:53:42Patrick, out of these two here then, who would you say should go home?
0:53:42 > 0:53:44I think I'm going to put the responsibility with Max.
0:53:44 > 0:53:47If the stuff had been better sorted out and we had as a general theme
0:53:47 > 0:53:49maybe I wouldn't have had such a difficult job.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52I don't think you understand, Max, that it was a tonne of rubbish clothes.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55- We had to sift through them.- It wasn't a tonne of rubbish clothes.
0:53:55 > 0:53:59It's a miracle that we found anything sellable in those bags.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02- The majority of it wasn't sellable. - All right. Listen.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04I don't think I need to hear any more.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06When I make my mind up,
0:54:06 > 0:54:09I have to take into account who do I feel
0:54:09 > 0:54:14has the ongoing potential to go through the process
0:54:14 > 0:54:16and possibly end up to be the winner.
0:54:19 > 0:54:26Patrick, you totally went off the rails here, I'm afraid to say.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29You forgot that this is a business task.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31You were selling goods.
0:54:31 > 0:54:36You had to park for one moment in your mind that you're a designer.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38- Yeah.- There is no question that a couple of the decisions
0:54:38 > 0:54:42you made was the downfall of this task.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Having said all that,
0:54:45 > 0:54:49I mustn't underestimate the fact of how difficult it is for you
0:54:49 > 0:54:52to take the helm on the first task.
0:54:53 > 0:54:58Max, exceptionally great on paper.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01Whether there is any business nous there, I don't know.
0:55:03 > 0:55:06David, I've got a big concern about you,
0:55:06 > 0:55:11that you are somebody who causes a bit of friction,
0:55:11 > 0:55:14and part of this process is being able to work with people.
0:55:16 > 0:55:19So it's very difficult for me,
0:55:19 > 0:55:24but I regret that my instinct is telling me that...
0:55:27 > 0:55:31..Max, I think you're meant for different types of things.
0:55:31 > 0:55:36- Max, you're fired.- Thank you for this opportunity, Lord Sugar.
0:55:52 > 0:55:57You've heard some criticism from me. You see how tough it is.
0:55:57 > 0:55:58I'll see you on the next task.
0:55:59 > 0:56:03I won't be perhaps as lenient the next time round, OK?
0:56:03 > 0:56:05- Go back to the house. - Thank you very much.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18- Really good luck. - Thank you.- Good luck.
0:56:21 > 0:56:25Don't get me wrong, I mean, business needs bright people.
0:56:25 > 0:56:29It's kind of saddening, really, to let someone of that calibre go.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31But I think Max has got something different.
0:56:44 > 0:56:48I really hope this isn't the end of my business life.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51I do have a passion for business, and I'm just going to keep on going
0:56:51 > 0:56:56and use all the lessons I've learned in my short time in the process.
0:57:01 > 0:57:04So who do you think's coming back, then?
0:57:04 > 0:57:07I really hope Patrick comes back, but I don't think he will.
0:57:07 > 0:57:11- Max's management was a bit...- I think it's definitely him or David.
0:57:18 > 0:57:20SQUEALS
0:57:29 > 0:57:32It's like the most intense experience I've ever had in my life.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35You have no idea. Until you've done it, you won't know.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38I'm not going through that again, so you are!
0:57:40 > 0:57:44Now 11 candidates remain.
0:57:44 > 0:57:48Lord Sugar's search for his Young Apprentice has begun.
0:57:50 > 0:57:51Next time.
0:57:51 > 0:57:56Your task today is that you're going to have to produce a cookery book.
0:57:56 > 0:57:59- Out of the frying pan... - Six teaspoons of peanut butter.
0:57:59 > 0:58:03This is the first meeting of the day and you're already bickering.
0:58:03 > 0:58:04..and into the fire.
0:58:04 > 0:58:07You just keep sending these comments which are just rude.
0:58:07 > 0:58:09You're being a really bad project manager.
0:58:09 > 0:58:12Then publish...
0:58:12 > 0:58:14- and be dammed. - That looks really good!
0:58:14 > 0:58:16A disaster, no?
0:58:16 > 0:58:18A recipe for disaster.
0:58:18 > 0:58:20You're fired.
