i come from a rough background and i i
saw
uh a lot of [ __ ] growing up
i had to see the devastation on my mum's
face when she came back from young
offenders prison to wish my little
brother happy birthday when he's 18.
then he progressed to a big prison
i know the human cost of prison
[Music]
but what frustrates me is that the
taxpayer forks out 38 grand a year to
keep each of britain's 88 000 prisoners
banged up
yet only 10 percent of them do any
full-time work
my plan is pretty straightforward this
is about getting them working off their
ass and then working
i'm gonna try and set up a business
behind bars
getting prisoners cooking on the inside
to sell on the outside
we're gonna make
some fairy cakes
what's the secret or a good fairy cake
that's a [ __ ] clue
i've given myself six months
inside one of britain's toughest prisons
to see if i can get the inmates working
and earning
who else has eaten the tarts you've
eaten one as well this is an absolute
joke
but the prisoners aren't the only ones
i'm fighting the system has to come
first
if he really messes up he'll be out
so frustrated
scotch egg made my prisoners local in
brixton
they can spit in it they can lay on the
floor i could do anything
gordon's in for a shock absolutely
maybe i'm the next gordon ramsay maybe
i'm the black golden ramsey
learning to become a great cook a good
cook an average cook takes time
stick your jaw up your ass
if there's one thing these guys have got
on their side it's time
[Music]
i've never been in a proper prison
if anything kicks off and it goes a
little bit per shape then it's not going
to be a
friendly place to be in the middle of
britain's prison population is exploding
it's increased by 22 000 in the last
decade
and cost almost 2 billion a year
it just seems a complete waste
the amount of money that we spend to
keep these guys in there this is costing
us a fortune
there are some prison work schemes the
governments say they want to create more
but in cash trap britain few offenders
graft full-time to pay anything back
the whole purpose of this is to get in
there set up a business and to get them
grafted
so i'm giving my time and energy to see
if i can get offenders earning
hello hello
hi it's gordon ramsay
it's taken nine months to persuade the
ministry of justice to let me try and
set up my pilot business in the
notorious hmp brixton
[Music]
the governor's put the word out about my
idea and a few of the prisoners are
curious about my plan to cook on the
inside and sell on the outside
[Music]
brixton is a victorian category b prison
with 800 inmates
locked up for anything from shoplifting
to murder
[Laughter]
mr ramsey molly how are you doing how
are you mark white welcome to brixton
thank you okay um you've handed all your
personal items into the gate there oh
yeah phone and your phone and everything
like that i'll remind you to do that
every day that you come in okay let's go
inside
officer mark westgarth is taking me into
the heart of the prison
here the prisoners are kept in their
cells up to 21 hours a day
if he tries to mug me off i'll put him
one of these places don't worry about
that no problem something's needed to be
made fun of by him or anyone else
a lot of these people believe that
they're going to do this and their lives
will dramatically change
what do i think about ramsey he can be a
bit fierce with people that he's working
with
yeah
that's what i think
i think he would lose a few people along
the way that's how it goes you know only
the strong survive
the prisoners are housed in five
separate wings
i have no idea who i'm going to be
working with
if he's come here to change the world
i don't think he will
and i don't think long term it's gonna
be a winner
um how many uh prisoners are in here
ninety percent of the criminals on this
wing have serious drug or alcohol
problems
[Music]
what was the last thing you killed week
i cooked last thing i cooked was paella
yeah
i could cook um
miss abram hi sir no no he's working
with jamie oliver
toes unlock
it's lunchtime
the prisoners are let out their cell for
a few brief moments to collect their
food
it's a chance for me to go face to face
with some of my potential workers
um obviously you signed up yeah and can
you cook yeah have you got a party going
on all that bread
mr kelly uh so you signed up yeah are
you king julien
good can you cook no i can't cook i'll
try it i'll have a go can you find egg
yeah yeah cause you can approach it
yeah not really can you scramble egg
yeah good i'll have a go
mr jones
last time he cooks
it's easy to forget
some of these prisoners are here for
serious offenses
how long are you for about four years
four years for doing what oh well they
found a shot down under my bed
they found a shotgun under your bed
some of these people are quite dangerous
you may get people screaming and
shouting at you
because you're you know you're famous so
they might they might want to have a pop
please don't rise to me no no we'll
we'll deal with it you know
[Music]
the mood has suddenly turned and an
offender is kicking off
[Applause]
all i can hear is my name
[Applause]
it's amazing how quick it kicks off like
that all of a sudden
bang in a heartbeat one minute is silent
next minute
it's like a potential riot
these are men under pressure
and when men are under pressure they can
do
bad things what kind of things that
happen tonight what would it an argument
a fight uh throwing something could be
anything anything could be anything
tough job tonight
the enormity of what i've taken on is
starting to sink in
in 2010 there were over 14 000 assaults
in prison and nearly 3 000 attacks on
staff
[Music]
recently someone got their throat
slipped
just a guy jumped behind toothbrush
melted in and slit
um
that's the kind of things that go on
you can feel it it's like a sort of
it's a huge weight of pressure in here
almost like it's bursting it's so
intense
didn't seem at first for every hour i'm
here it's just getting stronger and
stronger
i'm in brixton prison where i'm trying
to put the prisoners to work
they're gonna cook on the inside to sell
on the outside
it's time they paid something back
a posse of these bad boys are curious
about my plan
and i've agreed to meet me in the chapel
to hear more
there's 22 in all
from robbers and drug dealers to
burglars and thieves
they're here for a reason and so you can
get complacent about these guys and you
know
and forget what they're actually here
for and what they're capable of
they will lie to him then we'll try and
manipulate him because that's what they
do
i i've got to get these guys on my side
i gotta install a little bit of
um confidence
is bad that's why i'm coming i can't
wait to
see what it's all about
for a bit
of food
i'm not here to improve their grub
and this isn't going to be a fancy food
treat for them
they aren't the most flexible of people
in the way they think
not with just seeing
how a kitchen works and how disciplined
it is
to get prisoners to do that
on it very hard
the whole idea is getting up close
a chance to see what they're made of
morning guys
how are we
excited
why am i here
to build a kitchen
and to get a production going and give
you guys a chance to earn and learn
and put back inside is our crafting it
it's probably grafting yeah it is proper
graft listen
let's be honest you get out of it we put
into it what made you want to get
involved with this it's a good question
really um
[Music]
20 years ago i got
dealt a dysfunctional card
my little brother became a heroin addict
and my father became an alcoholic
what do i do do i sit there
and join my little brother would i
become an alcoholic
alongside my father
no
i got off my ass
i stopped for feeling sorry for myself
and i got on with it
put my head down learnt a craft
and that's the journey i'm hoping that
we're going to go on thank you
i think he played it well because he's
he's told us a bit about his himself his
history how he how he became a cook and
you know he's told us about his family
i have less than six months to kick this
motley crew into shape and try and mold
them into a kitchen outfit that can pay
its way
have a seat fellas just chill out for a
moment okay
[Music]
but can any of them even cook a simple
dish of scrambled eggs can i spot any
talent here
[Music]
anthony hi

eggs please
a burglar anthony kelly aged 33 is a
career criminal
having spent half his life in and out of
prison
what job did you have before you got in
brixton you know what gold i've never
worked i'm ashamed of it tonight really
i've always ducked and dived and gotten
a
i'm not proud of what i've done i'm
ashamed about what i've done
so
just that i've done my life
sleeping cocaine 10 years of age
that was that i was in lockups in that
lock-up for my life
you're getting romantic now you're gonna
go down with your colorway
behind yourself
haven't you been a cookbook
uh 45 now

than football no
you're kidding me aren't you yeah
football you're still playing yeah
football's 90 minutes
cooking's 125 hours a week
right a little taste
[Music]
i [ __ ] feel disgusting here
if it was an omelette it'd be like it'll
be all right next up 45 year old
londoner lawrence gibbons
is that a spelling mistake on there
nine convictions or 79
i've got uh
69 no 669 or
no 76 convictions now
what some people call prime we're called
as a way of life
my first my first thing was uh robbing
post offices
this time it's assault that i'm in for
whereas before i've been done for
drugs
the fascinating thing about you looking
at school together
i was 45 last month how come you look
older than me
i thought it must be all the money
you've got you know what i mean
please
have a little taste
[Music]
bit overcooked
it's becoming apparent that i'm starting
at rock bottom here
so we've got a leak in the ceiling
what's all that water
i don't know
it's burnt a little bit but a little bit
[Music]
this lot can't tell their ass from their
elbow
test for jones from south london has
been in trouble with the law since he
was 12. first time
um no no i've been in several times
before opening several times right
i actually like grew up in prison i
understand i spent most of my my teenage
years in prison the opportunity that
i've got now i mean maybe i'm the next
gordon ramsay maybe i'm the black golden
ramsey
you never know
that water came out the side what do you
think that means um what does that mean
it won't cook long enough no it's
overcooked otherwise yeah
i think tesla's willing to work hard but
he's a disaster in the kitchen
[Music]
i didn't anticipate they would all be
quite so useless none of these
reprobates has a clue how to cook
[Music]
long day that's a tough one quite a few
decisions to make now they're all [ __ ]
really
he's got an odd job but you know what i
[ __ ] don't know he's gonna do it
he's gotta be himself i think don't try
and be over [ __ ] i'll [ __ ] this [ __ ]
that f word [ __ ] [ __ ] all that
i mean they grip your hands they shake
hands with you and they let you know
don't [ __ ] with me
you know a sort of chilling
feeling because you're just
this is five minutes from my house
i'm feeling like i'm the vulnerable one
now walking around the target on my back
ultimately my bad boys will be cooking
on the inside to sell on the outside
[Music]
it's not going to be easy
and first i've got to convince the
prison governor ed tuller and his team
about my plan for a working business
kitchen
good morning everybody
this is the beginning of an ongoing
project the objective is to stand alone
kitchen that can be a proper business
within the prison kitchens can function
from a thousand pound a week to you know
fifty thousand pound a week in turnover
the dream would be for to make money
generate income and put back in we are
we are a pretty cynical bunch you know
we've seen projects come and go over the
years and what we're really interested
in is something which is sustainable the
last that's the bit going forward that
slightly worries me because kind of
getting a business out of this keeping
the kitchen going working it around our
regime it's going to be a massive task
for brixton i know it's a big ask
and yeah
my my my balls are on the line
being in a prison is not the same as
being working on the outside
offenders you know you can't
underestimate that they are not all an
easy advantage to work with they're not
used to working on a nine-to-five basis
they're not necessarily used to um to
coming to work and being told what to do
and then taking it the right way
it is a very new thing for them and they
have to get used to it
[Music]
in six months time i want to leave this
prison with a proper working commercial
kitchen so
right now i've got 22
incompetent prisoners and that's just
way too much for me to handle
i'm gonna scale it down and get a
dynamic 12 for my bad boy brigade
none of this lock can cook
but are they any good at anything
i've devised the test to see if any of
them can learn to cook or sell what we
cook to make money if they can't do
either
they're out
good morning
how are we
we're gonna make
some fairy cakes
we laughing
i love your fairy cake you like fairy
cakes what's the secret of a good fairy
cake that's a [ __ ] clue but i like it
now
i want to see your imagination go wild i
want you to decorate it
with some finesse
show me
what you can do
on top of a cupcake
yeah
now this thing here
the kitchen kitty i want you to look at
that box and take it serious we're going
to
sell
those cupcakes we're going to split into
two teams
half you will bake
and half of you
will try to convince
our prison officers to buy
your cupcakes i'll be a seller you'll be
a seller
can you get your hands out your pocket
stop playing with yourself
what is that
yeah
[Music]
all the baking team have to do is follow
my simple fairy cake recipe
[Music]
any sugar put the butter in there we'll
pour the salt in there
oh jesus
i couldn't see it
you got glasses on and i pinched your
salt what does a pinch mean
they're all committing gbh against cakes
around here
[Music]
guys guys guys guys look at me all of
you stop we've all put the [ __ ]
butter into the flower
[ __ ] i thought a [ __ ] cupcake
would [ __ ]
throw that away
[Music]
really a little call for cupcakes where
i'll come from you'll have mine
the prisoners just can't
my head's concentrate
david jones an ex-soldier is addicted to
heroin he became a thief to feed his
habit
don't worry it's not too hard back in
the oven for 30 seconds just like that
and i'll help you again
i haven't seen my family for 20 years i
knew what i was like either on drugs or
without drugs you know
i was a bastard
i don't want to fail i'm sick of failing
you know i'm sick of
not getting somewhere or not being
someone
habitual offender lawrence does seem to
care about what he's doing
they look like they've just gone ponied
up don't know they're fine
but if we rush them they're gonna be raw
then you're poisoned officers how's that
gonna go down
you know
salary holy crap we thought cupcakes
would be so difficult
david jones struggled i just got carried
away and
completely screwed his up but uh
personally i thought that was going to
be a disaster lawrence seemed to know
what he was doing i do cook sometimes
but it doesn't hurt
to learn something does it like i've had
pubs before through my life
it might have been out of cook properly
maybe i'd have done different things in
my life and not ended up
back in
jail
those not cooking cakes are selling them
there must be some sharp entrepreneurs
here
they need a brand hey with the name i
recommend you call it sweet tooth who's
wondering
yeah
[Music]
now these domestic goddesses are gonna
decorate their fairy cakes
[Music]
let the imagination go and don't forget
we're selling these
it's great decoration that sells a
cupcake
put the glitter on at the end otherwise
you're going to be going back looking
like a bunch of fairies coated in
glitter
[Music]
range from disastrous
the [ __ ] nozzle's got to go inside
the bag
to the delectable
it's a customized cupcake
sp
and the downright dodgy nice what's the
theme
this one yeah there's space in it with
the stars yeah that that's fine when you
are where you're on crap we're not on
crack now so we're not in [ __ ] space
the glittering should be sprinkled
lightly
okay now looks like someone's had the
runs on top of that one
i am not gonna sell that
yeah next to that let me tell you what
which one would you buy
thank you very much
but one burglar has done a lovely little
job
did you seriously do that yeah did you
did he do that
that's nice
yeah very nice yeah it's not too bad at
all beautiful okay
no no no no no you're not gonna have
that one yourself we're selling them
stop come on
no no no no we're gonna sell them
back in the cupcake marketing department
the ruthless criminals can't resist a
little bit of glitter
convict cupcakes post up
designed by a tesla over there you know
we you know promoted your name in it so
we could sell more right you know
real taste of prison despite the colors
the convicts cupcake shop is popping up
just outside a wing
you'd like four yeah brilliant
selling them are my hustlers anthony
kelly and test for jones
[Music]
push push push through the customer
there
are more lovely looking ones
[Music]
one minute strawberry chocolate and
vanilla well then did you take the pan
yeah i'm watching you like a hawk i'm
damn right i'm keeping hold of the
[ __ ] kitty box let me tell you you
can see that's going to disappear oh my
god it's very pink on the very pink
so that's 49 quid we've taken
20 of which is profit
and this little box at the beginning of
something pretty major because if i can
turn 40 quid into four grand a week
it's gonna take a lot of sweat yeah pain
yeah
now i'm gonna think long and hard about
who from this group will make my final
12.
are you scared of hard work i'm not
scared of hard work at all i've done it
in the past you know i mean it's just
that it i think it depends on what i'm
doing big question is when was the last
time you worked 60 hours in a week
straight work yeah yeah
[Music]
i've been in brixton prison for a week
to get prisoners cooking on the inside
to sell on the outside i've got six
months to make my project a success
what job did you have before you got to
brixton do you know what gold i've never
worked mate i'm ashamed of really
the government wants to double the
numbers of prisoners grafting
and are looking to expand their work in
prison scheme
it's easier life in jordan is outside in
here you've got everything done for you
but even the justice secretary believes
prisons aren't delivering as they should
obviously don't work
so
if you don't work you need to fix it
during the cupcake test i observed all
my convicts up close
and back at home i'm going to choose my
12 bad boys for my brigade
where'd you start
it's been hard to get 12 because they're
all the same they're all [ __ ]
and they're all they've all got issues
why should they be sat there 18 19 hours
a day
in a non-productive cell doing jack [ __ ]
laurence gibbons jones he's 45 years of
age 79 convictions and where the hell do
you start with that how do you get this
guy
disciplined
i don't care about any of the victims in
any of my cases all through my life
right but if i can better myself
and get something out of it
it's better
than doing nothing
[Music]
thief tesla jones is a career criminal
he's been inside seven times
if you're in prison and you're serving a
long time
you start to get used to your whole
surroundings they call it
institutionalized yeah right you start
to get institutionalized
and and it becomes nothing it becomes it
becomes a holiday camp
these men don't even understand the
concept of an honest day's work
anthony kelly
he's never had a job in his life yet
he's got the gift of the gap
burglary you look at him he's a big sort
of happy-go-lucky almost like a big
puppy
who would have thought he's gonna be
putting a balaclava on at half past two
in the [ __ ] morning it's weird it's
almost like they go inside they get
sentenced and they become little boys
[Music]
britain don't change people people
change themselves i just got old i've
i've got tired of it i've got tired of
this old bollocks the same old [ __ ] is
that these [ __ ] tell me what to do so
when they want i mean i'm sick of it i'm
sick to the bacteria
but you know what you've got everyone's
gotta have enough pain before they stop
what i gotta look for is the passion the
hunger this is not sat on your ass we're
gonna
hopefully generate
you know
a
busy bloody kitchen
i've chosen my bad boys dirty dozen this
is the team who work in my pilot
business guys come over come over come
over
this lot don't know what's going to hit
them
how he's
feeling good morning you guys how are
you you look cold
yeah yeah yeah he's called up come on
let's take that jacket off
okay you want me to take my jacket off
that's it i see
okay here's the good news
[Music]
do the final 12.
congratulations
uh you're on fire this morning
each and every one of you are going to
be putting back into this prison you are
the first 12 to get this business going
it's not about pissing around with
glitter this is real and it's going to
get tougher we're running a business
you're gonna learn
yeah you're gonna earn i'm gonna put
back inside to this prison how's that
let you feel great good sound good
can't wait to start grafting
you know and again in the kitchen start
cooking
a lot of these prisoners we all need
tough love it's like the love your mum
will give you i remember we're in prison
we need to be bloody told off
this is my first day teaching the bad
boys brigade
to get more done i've radically changed
these prisoners routine they're eating
in the kitchen
not in their cells
the guys that we lock up here they know
they know when they're going to get out
their cell they know what time they're
going to be locked up any change to that
it messes the system up messes with
their head
[Music]
when things change
that's when when things start going
wrong
sure enough
just the idea of change has sent
lawrence gibbons off on one
he wants to eat in his cell where he
keeps his tomato sauce
[Music]
losing lawrence is bad enough but his
walkout spreads descent in the ranks
not much teamwork going on here
[Music]
there's a big difference between talking
to each other and shouting each other
let's talk nicely
and let's remember we're a
team they're so used to their routine
and the minute you change one little
thing bang
they're like a bunch of [ __ ] babies
you're just realizing what a shambles
this so-called brigade is turning out to
be
i don't think he's going to hang on to
them
direct against any kind of authority
really when they're told to do something
to stand the chance of getting this
scheme to work in the time i've got we
need to be selling a product to the
public in four weeks time
i want to prove to these guys that they
can work together as a unit so
i've got a plan but
it's a very ambitious plan that
could make or break them i'm going to
put them under intense pressure and get
them to cook
an entire meal for the whole prison
[Music]
daryl hatfield is in charge of brixton's
prison kitchen
hello gordon are you well yeah fine i
want permission to make a chili con
carne for the 800 inmates i'm a little
bit blunt i want to ask um
if i could borrow
this kitchen for a day
what i want to do is get them in here
cooking so can i come up with a dish and
cook for the prison
the evening meal
the main meal please
with your new brigade with my
yeah
that's a massive task
for you and a new brigade but the prison
specifications
say that we provide a minimum of five
choices
five choices every day yeah [ __ ] i can't
just do one dish no we've got customers
that have no choice to go anywhere else
the customers here get very upset if
their meals are messed with screw up and
we can have a riot on our hands
we hit the deadline
[Music]
4 15. yeah we must hit that deadline
well gordon ramsay's gordon ramsay but
for someone to come in here and be in
charge of 12 people
who have never
done any form of catering
never mind produce five main dishes
i can't believe the task is taking on
this whole idea yeah it just turned out
to be a head [ __ ] to be honest because
now
we've got to offer five choices
he says customers i say prisoners
he says choices i say [ __ ] off
you sure they wouldn't like any [ __ ]
blini and caviar to start
i've chosen my bad boys brigade for my
start-up business in brixton prison
this morning i'm getting them up two
hours early
i'm challenging my rookies to work as a
team to make dinner for the entire
prison
so what are they like generally getting
up early in the morning it all depends
if anyone's been watching the late film
the brigade can't cook
and constantly bicker but if they pull
it off
my business may be with a chance thank
you
so quiet i've got to launch a product
made by them to the public in a month's
time
it's so quiet i mean almost feels like
we're breaking in it's weird
but there's an eerie silence
morning ready
my brigade is a man down after lawrence
walked out
hello mate you got two minutes
right now i need all the help i can get
and lawrence is one of the best cooks of
gods
temples aren't going to say that we're
going to chin someone
see armenia
do you know where i come from on this
one we're the same age there's quite a
nice level of maturity no no i see
you're quite a common influence over
them do you know why because you don't
tolerate the [ __ ] and i'm not here to
push buttons now i'm here to help
the last time i cated for 800 people i
had a team of 45 fully trained chefs
this time i've got 12 novices who
couldn't make scrambled eggs
at least lawrence has agreed to come
back
let's go guys quick quick quick ready
let's go come over guys
the 800 prisoners always eating their
sales but we're not improving prison
food
my aim is to see if the brigade can
carry this off if they can i might
finally have a team
we're we're 30 minutes behind already
five main courses start off with a chili
halal 150 portions 250 portions of a
normal chili after that we got two
vegetarian dishes one vegan one
vegetarian 50 portions of vegan and 100
portions of a vegetarian bake after that
we're gonna do a chicken and mushroom
pie 100 portions
[Music]
hey guys guys yeah i need the veg yeah
so i can start the stock once i've got
the stock rolling i can start
actually making the chili which we've
got 400 portions of veg prep is 90 of
the battle
i'm taking a really big risk and putting
argumentative tests for jones in charge
t
you okay yeah
yeah look at me
nice and calm and we're working as a
team yeah yeah you're part of that team
so i want you to come across like a team
member let's go
we've got to do 40 trades
look how bad these potatoes are hey yeah
this is what we get in prison this is
what we've got to work with
everybody on the outside could see that
we're not living in luxury
okay as you don't think you won't put
that in your pot would ya
i've never seen anything like what
gordon ramsay's doing i'm not saying
that he's he's gonna change me and i'm
gonna come out i'm gonna be a big change
man and you know i mean i'm going to
heaven all of a sudden and stuff like
that but
it's something that you can hold on to
one career criminal i want to stop
ducking and diving is lawrence
i put him in charge of the main dish of
the day chili con carney
240.
lawrence is up against it
fresh cherries he may not be a team
player but he's not afraid of new
experiences
i've tried most things
i think the best the best thing in like
the late 80s early 90s
was the tragedy
everyone had a good time
pastry how are we doing
you've got shortcuts on the bottom puff
paste on top yeah yeah have a look
through in the fridge
cockney anthony kelly is running the
bakery section
they've got 250 portions of chicken and
mushroom pies to make
mix margarine and flour and a bit of
baking powder
common sense really just what it says
that's it lovely
lovely oh you're not feeding the queen
you know what that'll do
we have feeding the queen yeah
you showed up to the boys
we've been going two hours
the pies are on track but elsewhere
we're in trouble
we're running behind and the vegetable
sections have backed us up because we're
we're struggling
with 800 servings of roast potatoes to
prepare the tespa and the veg team are
in deep waters and it's freezing
water is too cold bring this big i'll
bring it what's the matter with you
that's too cold freezing oh

you
no i love it draw some gloves yes a wet
suit to get the potatoes out i'm
beginning to think these prisoners are
molly cuddled
do you know what i'm starting to see so
early on well i think it's too easy
jimmy one of the boys told me last night
who's watching telly all night laurence
i can't watch television all night
tv support
so it's easier inside than it is on the
outside if you can wrangle the system
and get what you what you need what's
best for you
then you saw with india
everyone's playing on about the
reoffending percentage we can see why it
is
almost like a sort of
a little personal hotel in their
neighborhood
[Music]
i can't believe it the bakery section is
flying
anthony and david have got 11 huge pies
ready
dave is barely you know standing up and
anthony's sweating like a pig so it's
like a
it's like a kitchen of misfits however
they're not giving up that's the most
important part one two three four six

looks better than last time yeah i can
see onions on top last time it was just
black color all right on a proper onion
gravy yeah you can see the difference
right away
[Applause]
i honestly didn't think we're gonna make
that this morning we sent them a task
i didn't think it was possible to pull
it off and i was slightly concerned that
they were gonna shy away from
six seven
eight our day but they've been on their
feet ten hours and it's been a long one
but it's gone it's gone well
god they were lively huh unfortunately
it's not all good news
back at the kitchen there's been a
serious incident
right guys let's go t lawrence i need
you for two minutes please
seriously guys this is where i think
that
i've been let down today because i've
just been told
that we've
found this
in the dressing room and someone's been
knicking
onions chillies and garlic
look look at look guys no no really
yeah it makes me feel stupid we cannot
steal from the kitchen
anyone
who just belonged to
i told him
yeah i thought
i wasn't staying i just took some onions
okay i thought there was space so i took
someone okay who else took it
okay
thank you
we cannot take anything
out of the kitchen next week it'll be a
knife
no chance we stopped now i just saw it
as a bit of as a perk in it i decided to
pray
look at me [ __ ] cooking cooking
myself that gets me into serious [ __ ] so
look at me but you're letting me down
can you let your team down it's dealt
with yeah let's move on i wasn't
thinking i just thought there was extras
yeah what i don't want to do now is
falling out and argue with each other
that's the problem they get one little
issue and it becomes massive and they
flip
what a [ __ ] joke what are an
embarrassment oh don't say to me nothing
here
it's all done said and done
[Music]
once the rowing starts no one banks down
this lot will argue about anything
yeah
hey guys guys let's finish on the high
yeah let's finish on the highway
let's not waste 10 hours of graft
i can't believe after all their great
teamwork and success my brigade's
falling apart in front of my eyes
that's all i'm saying if you're looking
strong
because you don't think
there's no discourse
there were some good workers there today
i mean
some really good workers and the ones i
thought weren't gonna
work and stay focused did
yeah i'm over a barrel in many ways
because i could i could be sick sure
within a 30-second argument and that's
that's the knife edge my biggest problem
is going to be keeping the team together
that's where i
that's where i've got my work cut out
because there's so many
feisty insecure
characters that it's almost
built on a stack of cards
[Music]
you
