RICHARD: Hello, Mother. Did I dream
or have I just walked past Debbie McGee's car?
Er, yes, it's come back in.
I think we've ended up about
10 grand over budget. Oh, for God's sake.
Getting there? JAMIE: We're getting there slowly.
How did you get an estimate for the job? We didn't have an estimate.
I'm gonna say, that should've been the first red flag.
I'm not in a position to run every aspect,
and I have to earn a living doing other things.
H, it's on fire.
None
After four rollercoaster years
in the classic car restoration business...
That worked. I'm gonna claim I thought of everything.
...it seems I've finally cracked it.
Happy customer, that's a good feeling.
We've dragged our PR department...
You've gotta get your arses over here damn quick.
...into the 21st century.
Our reach on that day was 317,000 people.
And as brand ambassador...
If you happen to have a car in the UK ever...
...I'm leading the charge.
None
Hey, hey! This is brilliant!
At least, that's what I thought...
If you've overpromised...
Yeah. ...you can't under deliver.
...until my Mum arrived.
They won't listen to me. They'll listen to me.
And it turns out that, once again, I'm in deep trouble.
I'm gonna have to do something big. Oh, my God.
None
So, I'm on my way to meet Richard Hammond.
It's not like him to ask for a meeting,
it's normally me asking him, giving him a little telling off.
Maybe he's remembered it's my birthday, who knows?
We'll find out. This way.
None
Hi, Richard. Hello, how are you?
Nice to see you. I'm fine. Nice to see you. - Have a seat. - Thank you.
Right, erm, I've been thinking...
Yeah. ...and I've been thinking for myself.
The problem is, Richard, when you think for yourself... No.
...we end up paying for it. Hold on.
I've thought in a mature fashion.
- Right. - It's clear the workshop isn't working.
It's saddled with a half million pound debt... Yeah.
And still creeping up. Yes.
So I need an experienced business person
who's run an operation like that.
Yeah. And I've actually known that person
for, well, for a number of decades.
Wow, I've not seen Richard that decisive.
I just sat down and he couldn't wait to tell me his idea.
And for once, I'm actually in agreement with him.
Who knew? Richard can think like, erm, a businessman.
None
I'm on my way to the workshop early
because today is a rather rainy dawn
of what could be a momentous day at the Smallest Cog.
Debbie McGee's Mercedes and an E-Type Jag
have cost me, personally, a lot of money.
This isn't the first time I've said it, I know,
but this has gotta stop.
Four years,
I can't keep putting my hand in my pocket
to keep the business afloat, I can't.
I even roped my mum in to help,
but truth is I need someone with proper engineering pedigree
to shake this place up.
Turns out there's someone
right on my doorstep who's willing to help.
Lads? Yeah.
Meeting at half 11 in Richard's office.
Okay? Isaac? Okay.
No worries. Perfect.
Right chaps, come in.
Hello team. Do please assemble.
So we are all aware that four years in I'm still struggling,
er, it is still losing money,
and I, for one, don't wanna give up,
I wanna turn it around. So...
what I've needed is somebody sort of top level alongside me
in the business, and whilst I was floundering around,
the answer was staring me in the face, him.
He's been running a big workshop for longer than 20 years
and actually Hadrian's enthusiasm is for making it work as a machine
and that's what I need here.
HADRIAN: What I want to do is make it work
actually for all of you, not just for Richard, okay,
None
because you're all employed here, and, to be fair,
I think if it gets much worse you won't.
I think it will go
and I'll lose my mate as a tenant
and seeing all great cars,
and, you know, the things that you get here.
Any questions now, yeah?
Can I go and get on with a car because it's due back in two hours. By all means.
Any other questions now?
Okay, it's about moving forward from today,
making it work. - It has to be as a team. - Yeah.
So, wrapping this up back to it
or Hadrian will be on your tail. (CHUCKLES)
Go and have a think about it, talk to us anytime you want.
Brilliant. Cheers all. Thank you.
So... thoughts?
The truth of the matter is...
it's job cards, time sheets.
Without that information you actually really don't know
where you are with your jobs.
If we're doing the timesheets properly as we go along,
we're learning, not only how we are on that job,
but looking ahead for the next one, so our estimates will be better.
Because that's another thing that's - biting us. - That is... 100%.
Whatever it takes to fix it is what has to happen.
JAMIE: I'm actually quite excited to be honest.
I'm like a headless chicken running around
because I'm trying to manage the lads, answering the phone,
doing paperwork, doing estimates,
and I just, just physically can't do it.
So for Hadrian to step in
and take that work out of my way
leaves me to manage the shop floor, which is where I need to be.
I've been summoned by Hadrian up to his office.
This could be my first taste of H-style staff training.
Hadrian isn't just my landlord, he's a friend,
but he's also an incredibly talented engineer
who's built everything from amphibious vehicles
to vortex cannons, whatever they are.
H! As requested, here I am.
Hi mate, how you doing? I'm all right.
Right, so I thought, as a little treat... Yes.
...you might want to come with me and see how we do costings.
So I'm gonna go to a job I've never seen before
and show you how we estimate it. Right.
Which will be interesting for you because you get cars there that you've never seen before,
but you've still gotta - get the price right. - Yes.
So, erm, you'll get to see how I am in action.
- That's good. - Yeah. My next question,
where are we going? Because you've done everywhere.
- Is that Mauritania? - Mauritania. And there's Zimbabwe. And Zimbabwe there.
That's Thailand. Taiwan.
- Wow. - So it's gonna take - quite a while to get there. - Yeah.
We are gonna go to...
None
Ipswich.
(SNIFFS) I'm a little disappointed, H.
I mean, I wanna see you quote
on a job you've never seen before but...
Brilliant. Alright, I'll pack some sandwiches. Thanks.
H, what is the job?
Well, we're gonna go and look at a bit of a bracket on a window.
(CHUCKLES) A bracket -
I mean in all fairness, that's all I've been told.
Right. Have you repaired, restored one of these brackets before?
No, definitely not. Well then, how the hell do you know
what you're gonna look at and how much it's gonna cost when you've looked at it to do it?
Well, I mean I've formed...
I don't know how many hundreds of thousands
of tonnes of steel in my life
so you get used to how you've gotta do it
and how long they take, what it costs.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in action, I'm entering your world.
Am I a bit clean for your kind of... I haven't got any oil on me.
Well I mean you're a bit clean at the moment.
But I mean five hours on the road to Ipswich,
you'll probably have dirty thoughts.
I'm guessing this is it then, H?
This is it. I mean that is a windmill.
That's a proper windmill, innit? It's beautiful innit.
Here he is. Welcome to Butrrum's.
Tim, how you going, mate? Tim, I'm Richard.
Nice to meet you. Nice windmill.
Yeah, we've got problems, though. Have we got problems? We've got problems.
I don't think I've ever been in a windmill.
Nice and steep I'm afraid, chaps.
H, it's bending.
The good news is it gets tighter as we go.
He's gonna get stuck.
Right.
This would appear to be the top.
This is the top.
None
This is where our issues start.
We've got a chair casting, it's failed at the front
and basically the front of the cog is completely smashed.
You know which bit this is, don't you?
No. This is the smallest cog.
- There it is. - There it is. There it is.
That's the bit that we're - dealing with. - You beat me to it.
I was waiting for a smallest cog joke and you did it.
Right, we need to go and have a closer squint at this.
Every job is completely different.
So as he goes through this and works out
how long it's gonna take him and does his estimate,
that's what I need to learn about.
I can see what's happened there. So the...
It's broken the bottom out of the chair
and the whole shaft has moved over towards the left and wedged up.
And you're gonna have to give him an idea of what that'll cost, are you able to?
Er, I would say that that is somewhere between...
a grand and 1,400 quid.
I'm only - That's quite precise.
Well, I mean, well, I mean it's not really,
I mean it's within 400 quid innit?
Yeah. But...
I haven't seen the bearing and the, what's burst off the bottom.
I'm... I'm just imagining it's... It's just a bridge cap, yeah?
He's backtracking. We've got that on film now.
Yeah. No more than 1,400 quid.
You said it, you've got a limit. Yeah.
It's exciting though, innit?
Bewildering - And a bit high. - Yeah.
Going down and I'm going down backwards as instructed.
You couldn't rush out of one of these, could you?
No, you could bloody fall out of it - though. - You could definitely.
I think what Hadrian was trying to show me
is that when he does an estimate,
he makes sure the customer understands
there's a big element of flexibility.
Doesn't seem like rocket science.
Can't be if H is doing it.
None
Now I don't think, since we started this business,
we've had a single, proper, old school American muscle car in,
a favourite kind of car of mine.
Today we have, it's arriving, a Chevrolet Malibu SS.
It's a big and proper muscle car.
I love them because they're daft and silly.
But today is more sensible than that because this is a first opportunity
to give our new, grown up approach to estimates a run out.
So I'm gonna meet Jamie and be grown up,
and we're not gonna be excited about the car. Sensible.
Well... What an unbelievable racket.
Good morning. Nice to see you, mate.
How are you? This is Jamie, this is Ollie. Jamie, nice to meet you.
That is epic. It's cool, isn't it? It's, er...
It's quite loud. Where do you live?
- Down in Kent. - You haven't... Have you driven it from Kent?
I've been up since, what, 4:00 this morning.
How close are your neighbours?
Oh, er, it's a nightmare, it's just waking up the whole street.
You can't complain, it's a nightmare for everyone else.
For everyone else. I love it.
So what is the actual source of all that racket? It's a V8.
It's a V8. There's actually a 5.3 LS in there.
Yeah. It's a proper -Well, yeah. Proper old American V8.
Yeah. It's just noise, some power.
- It's got some power. - So this - is purely body work for us? - Yeah.
So I only got it, what, five months ago and it came like this.
I think he tried to, er, prime it a little bit.
There's a few bits of like, cracking and filler
that need doing on the roof and on the bonnet as well.
But you don't want the whole thing painted?
You don't want it all taking down to the metal, you want to do bits.
I've got a budget but I know it's a classic car, they cost money.
Erm... Yeah, always more than you - thought as well. - Yeah, exactly.
So we'll have to ch
Why don't we, erm, mark it up as to what we're gonna do.
I don't want it to turn into a difficult phone call,
Ollie I'm sorry, we're done the car.
Let's absolutely agree the things we're gonna do.
- Okay. - So we're gonna do that, you want that looking at?
Yeah. There.
Obviously the whole back is a bit of a mess at the moment as well.
Right, have we got a plan then?
JAMIE: Well, what I could do, I'll price it up.
We'll get an estimate to you ASAP. Sounds good.
Take care on the way home, enjoy the silence.
- Yeah. - Nice to see you. Thank you very much. Cheers Ollie, thank you.
That'll be good that.
None
HADRIAN: Hello? Lads?
All right stop hiding you lot.
Matty, you got a minute, mate?
Okay, so...
there's a few simple changes and they're all improvements, okay?
I know there's been a bit of a historic time sheet issue here,
but I can't make this simpler.
Every day, when you fill that in,
put a description down of what you've done.
And don't make it brief, like removed engine, right?
Put in there information whereby
it backs up why things have cost money, yeah?
So if you've met the bolt from hell that's taken six hours to get out,
it has to go on here as information
because we've got to have a means of going back to a customer
and saying, we got into it and we've found this.
Yeah. Yeah?
It's essential that this happens, okay?
Is that okay with everybody? - - Yep. - Fine? - Yeah.
Right, perfect.
So we move into, erm, a new dimension.
Every day I shall come over and as long as there's an entry on the job
and we've got information that we can then give to the client,
at that point you're in control of your business
and the dog's wagging the tail, not the tail wagging the dog.
Leaving Hadrian at the helm,
Jamie and I can go hunting for some new business.
It is a nice, clean, simple job and a very popular car,
- it could be just what we need. - Er, yeah, 100% we need one of these.
- Chris? - Richard, hi. Welcome. Nice to meet you.
- And this with me is Jamie. - Hello, - Jamie. - Hello, Chris, how you doing?
And here is the car, nestling in the corner.
This is a 1966 MGB...Yeah, it's an early one... Roadster.
I have to say straight away, it is a really pretty little car.
It looks absolutely perfect. So my father bought this in,
I think, 1991 and, er, it'd be great to see it up and running,
I've never seen this car running. - Have you not? - No.
It's always been squirrelled away in the corner of the garage gathering dust,
and now's the time to bring it out and get it back on the road.
So your dad? Yes. My dad was always a...
a huge classic car enthusiast,
but a few years back he was diagnosed with dementia
and then he went into care permanently.
But I want to keep this as a family heirloom, I suppose.
I'm sorry to hear your father's not well, that's... that's hard.
But this is a lovely car to... to sort of, to treasure.
Yeah, it's beautiful. Shall we have a little dig about?
Is there a pull?
Ah, right. Good grief.
Erm, yes it's fine, it's done. (ALL LAUGH)
So this is really a case of get it in, go through it,
a recommissioning, get it on the road.
Absolutely. If it hasn't run in a while
there's gonna be hoses, there's gonna be some
bits of deterioration over time.
So the plan would be, we'll take this in
and we can go through it and work out likely costs.
I mean, do you have a budget in mind?
No, I don't really have a budget in mind
but I'll be guided by your expert team
at The Smallest Cog about what work needs doing, and take it from there.
I'm liking this, this is good. Looking forward to this one.
Different to what we're used to. - Yeah. - Normally, car's falling apart.
All mechanical work, which will keep Ant busy.
It's a win. Brilliant. Brilliant!
Right, well we need to get it out - of here and onto the trailer. - Yes.
I especially like that, you know,
it's a car of significance to Chris and his family.
It's another irreplicable car.
There is only that one MGB that belonged to Chris's Dad,
so it matters to him. Fully in favour of that.
None
ANTHONY: I've been working through my list on the MGB
of the stuff that normally seizes up
or plays up if a car's been stood for a long time.
And, basically, turned the ignition on and, sadly,
the car has a massive fuel leak off one of the carbs,
which is not ideal.
None
So to safest thing to do is order, er, a repair kit for this,
we'll take the carbs off, we'll clean it all up
but then it comes with new gaskets, new needles
and basically anything that perishes with petrol
and then we'll put them back on, tune them back up,
get this car running lovely.
So before I worked here, I've only ever worked for Dad
and he has actually taught me everything I know.
So, with him going, it's pretty unsettling for me
because I've got H watching me from his big ivory tower over there
and that's why I need this car, the MG, to go right.
Isaac?
I'm missing one of these... Yeah.
And I need a carburettor kit.
So, basically, if you can get those bits ordered,
we can get this car turned around quick.
MG specialist in-house. Yeah.
So time sheet, if I can find 'em.
None
I need to keep H happy really,
because this is where he's monitoring what we're doing.
So, tried to start...
MG and discovered fuel leak.
LEWIS: As well as being social media manager,
I'm looking to grow The Smallest Cog as a brand.
Now we've done a few events where we've sold merchandise
but this weekend we're supersizing.
I've lined up a pretty big event at Wembley called Petrol Hedonism.
They're expecting around 30,000 people.
Now, to me, that screams I'm gonna sell lots of merchandise.
I haven't exactly told Hadrian what I'm up to
but I'm pretty confident that if we come back on Monday
saying that we've made lots of money, what's wrong with that?
None
- JAMIE: Morning, mate. - Morning. ANTHONY: Morning.
How many boxes we got? You've got 15 today.
Fifteen? - Fifteen boxes? - Yep.
If this is Lewis, mate, he can have the chat with Richard.
We didn't know nothing about this, this is Lewis off his own back.
And he's probably wiped out our credit card on all that.
Jay, we've got another delivery, mate.
For Lewis, again.
Do you know how many items are there?
How many's that? 1200.
Twelve... There's 1,200 t-shirts.
Now I don't know if I was meant to order 120 or 1,200 here.
Are you confident we can sell 1,200 t-shirts in two days?
None
That's 600 a day. When you say it like that
it's quite daunting. But no, I'm positive,
- yes. - Yes? - I'm gonna say yes. - Good.
Oh, my God.
Admittedly it does look like I've spent a lot of money.
But I'm gonna come back on Monday morning
and they're gonna be like, how much have you made? And I'm gonna say millions.
There's also someone up there in his ivory tower with the reflective windows
and I've gotta prove to him that this is gonna be beneficial.
None
None
(ENGINE REVVING)
So, the Malibu, the American monster.
Ollie has decided, with this budget in mind,
we're gonna concentrate on the back,
the roof, which is obviously all cracked, and the bonnet.
I'm gonna start on the worst part, which is the roof.
So the carbs are now all rebuilt.
I've just put them back onto the engine.
Hopefully there's no leaks now, with fuel
and this little girl kicks into life again.
I shouldn't have put the roof back on because I can't get in it.
I gotta go arse first because I don't fit.
Ah.
Come on, girl.
(GIGGLES)
Go for a test drive and see how she performs
after all these years off the road.
If it does break down it can have a Basil Fawlty moment, innit,
get a tree out and beat it on the side of the road.
None
Hopefully, what I'm watching right now
is the beginning of the new systems we've put in place taking effect.
We've agreed a ยฃ3,000 budget with Chris.
And Anthony, working on the MGB,
knows to record the work, and he knows if a new problem
has been thrown up, he will report it
so we know where we are with the job so we can tell the customer.
The dawn of a new era... again.
None
Hiya. Hello, darling. How are you? Hi, very well. Come on in, sit down.
Thank you. Erm...
I'm quite excited because we've got a job in,
it's a Chevrolet Malibu SS
and, erm, we've done a proper estimate this time.
And the interesting thing about this one
is the customer doesn't want his mum to know
how much he's spending on the car. (LAUGHS)
I don't know if I want to show you this estimate
because then my mum's looking at my homework, basically.
Well, that's true. Which you never really did.
Did you look at... You didn't check my homework.
- No. - You didn't check my homework because I didn't do it.
I've done this homework. And I'm pleased with it.
This does prove I have been listening to you and Hadrian
about estimates and the importance of.
And then feeding it into the system. - Exactly. - Good.
Let's just try the brakes, make sure they work.
Brakes work, that's good.
What a lovely little car. Bless her.
You can't beat building someone's car
and getting it finished off and...
being the first person to drive it.
It's a great feeling.
She drives not too bad. I'm happy.
(ENGINE MISFIRES)
Argh, I think I've spoken too soon.
I think that was a misfire.
Come on, girl. I know you've done a little misfire.
Come on, I'm trying to fix you, I'm trying to be good.
You haven't been run for a few years.
I imagine it's not nice waking up.
Don't buy a classic car.
Having Hadrian around has freed up Jamie
to spend more time on the floor
and he is flying along with the Malibu.
JAMIE: This is the Malibu. I think it's been painted
four or five different colours.
It's been blue, it's been white.
So what I've done, I've dug all the cracks out
right back to metal to make sure they don't come back.
I've got one left to do here, which is quite a tricky one
because it's right on this corner.
None
So, I'm gonna use a metal filler,
er, sand it off, and then prime it up
and that should never ever crack again.
None
Right, military operation. Three vehicles, three trailers
and then we have to get all the merchandise
from out of there into these three vehicles.
What do you want me to do? Social media.
So I just need you to get decent content of every vehicle going on.
Job done now, right. Off to Wembley we go.
- Let's do it. - Ready set? - Yay. - Come on then.
None
It's great to see Izzy helping out with the business.
But an underground car park in Wembley
seems an odd place for a car show.
Just hope Lewis knows what he's doing.
Seems unlikely.
Let's get the stand up. Go on.
Hold on. Right, come on then.
Oh he's here. (LAUGHS)
Very funny, but at least he's made...
At least he's made an appearance. - Here we go. - Why is he so short?
Someone's gonna have to sit there and sign the corgis.
All right, Kamla, be careful
because there might be an avalanche. Okay.
She did forewarn us there was going to be an avalanche.
Have you seen how many pens? Oh my God. One box.
- JAMIE: How many's in there? - No, he was supposed to order one box.
- Yeah, one box. - Not one box, one box! Not one box!
How, how many's in these? Lewis?
The good thing is it's cold in here
so we're hoping to sell more - hoodies. - Yeah, we will.
I need to add up how much we need to make
on merch sales to cover all of this.
Erm, I've got three of the lads here.
We've got, erm, Matt, Jamie and Isaac.
So they're not at the workshop working.
So I need to have a firm word with Lewis,
honestly he's just gone way over the top.
All the boxes piled up neatly behind the stand.
You and... You and Jamie can do that.
- - Right, Lewis? - Yes. - I've been - number crunching. - Okay.
I've got together loss of income for having the lads over the weekend.
- Yeah. - Cost of merch, - cost of hotel, fuel. - Yeah.
How much do you think that comes to?
I think that I need to sell ยฃ6,000 worth of -
- 6,000? - Yeah. Would you like to double that?
It's 11,205.
Hey? That's not even making a profit,
that's just the cost of all of this. Okay.
I need to make a lot more than I thought.
There's a lot on my shoulders here and I am feeling the pressure.
So these are 55. - Right, okay. - And these are 25.
But if you buy two items of clothing, you get ยฃ10 off.
None
Seriously, the most asked question, is he really that short.
ISSAC: Roll up, roll up, roll up. Anybody waiting?
The test drive started off well
but didn't end very well with... with a misfire.
None
It could be an imbalance in the carbs.
So Dad taught me an old school way of a bit of pipe, believe it or not,
and what you do is you put it to your ear
and then you put this end, actually, in the carb inlet
and you actually can hear the suction
of each carb and they should sound exactly the same.
If you've got one sucking more than the other
you can hear it and it's really, really mad but it works,
it's old school but works.
None
Basically these two cylinders are getting more fuel and air
than what this cylinder is,
which then is giving you an imbalance on the fuelling
and that's what'll cause the misfire.
Now I know what the issue is,
hopefully a little bit more tinkering
and I should have this running lovely.
None
Oh my God.
We've got a mountain of boxes. (GRUNTS)
Petrol Hedonism was great, we sold a lot of merch,
maybe not as much merch as I thought we were going to.
I wasn't planning to come back with the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
So I'm trying to hide it so Hadrian can't give me a grilling.
We've got lots of events coming up
and I'm pretty sure we can shift these amount of boxes.
But, erm, I just hope that we can get rid of a bit more
before the credit card bill comes in, otherwise my head is off.
Jamie and Ant have responded brilliantly to Hadrian's changes.
The Malibu and the MGB are both on time and on budget,
that's got to be a first.
I'm so pleased with this little car.
The result is spectac... And this is what we've done?
Yes, this is what we've done so far. Brilliant.
Ooh, we have been busy.
We've done front wishbone, bush, so it'll feel better on road,
it's got -We've also got... - put an MOT on it as well. - Lovely.
Yep, yep, yep.
That's a recommission isn't it? - Yeah, literally. - That's a proper...
This is like being organised, do you know what I mean?
And here is the man himself. Hello, Chris.
- Nice to see you. - Nice to see you. Remember Jamie?
None
Of course you do. Most importantly, here is the car.
Wow, look at that. It's beautiful.
It's been polished as well. - Yeah. - It's such a pretty thing.
Wonderful. This is a really exciting moment for me
just to see the engine running and to get it back on the road after so many years.
Well, you'd better start it then and let's...
Oh why am I anxious now? (ALL LAUGH)
It's gonna work. - Moment of truth. - Okay.
- Climb in. - Thank you. So, this will be the first time - you've operated it? - Yes.
So, this is... Yeah, it's outside. - ...quite the moment. - Good luck.
It's a pity my father's not here - to see this. - Yeah.
But he'll be in there in spirit.
Oh.
(ENGINE REVVING)
Sounds beautiful. They're a lovely little engine.
It's a simple and basic of a classic as you can get
but beautifully styled.
There's a lovely, gentle vibration through the wheel.
Yeah. Oh you know there's an engine in there.
Well, your father would be delighted.
So, we've done everything we... we need to... Mm-hmm.
Now your part of the recommissioning process is get out and use it.
Exactly what I intend to do.
Well, we'll leave you with it. Good luck, mate. Thank you, Richard.
That's a happy moment.
(CHUCKLES) Brilliant.
That is a pretty car.
But most important thing is,
customer, job, to the budget we agreed with him
as we went along and updated him on. Exactly, yeah. He was happy.
And he's very happy.
Hearing that engine running and seeing Chris's reaction
makes it all worthwhile.
What more could you ask for from a day at work?
And the big thing is we stuck to the estimate,
which, hopefully will keep H happy.

IZZY: Hello. Hello.
- What is this? - This is mine, - - my lunch. - Jesus. - No, no.
I need them to concentrate. The amount of sweets you eat is unhealthy.
Does it look like it?
Now, you were in charge - of ordering merch, yeah? - Oh.
And you've... You've got that - a bit wrong. - Yeah.
Because 1,600 t-shirts is too many t-shirts, fact.
That wasn't what I wanted to do. Just 120 t-shirts is what I wanted.
I then forgot that we had then six different designs.
I have messed and I'm owning that. You really have messed up.
I'm not very good at maths. Yeah, fine.
But there needs to be some sort of punishment.
Let's not be too harsh though. I think everyone would
- enjoy a little revenge. - What do - you mean, everyone? - I'll get the rest of the gang involved.
Right, can I go back to work now? Yeah.
Can I have my sweets back? Er...
I think I'm gonna confiscate them. Don't take them.
- No, no. - You need to learn to function without sugar.
It's really important. Okay. See ya.
Izzy. Ha ha.
Oh my God.
This is a... This is a terrible idea.
Got me golf club. (LAUGHS)
He's got a gardening glove on. Watch your face.
Oh God. (LAUGHS) This is gonna be interesting.
Right everyone, are you all excited? Well, I've never played golf, so...
Okay. Have you got... no one's got clubs, no?
Okay, so I will offer you mine
but I'm just gonna warn you, they're quite small.
Er, Matthew, would you like - this one? - Thank you.
They're getting a little bit smaller now. Er...
Perhaps that one for you.
Thank you. And, Lewis, for your punishment,
I've got a really special - job for you. - Okay.
You see that little cart there? Yeah.
There's some balls that need collecting.
So if you can jump in that and we'll - just hit and, you'll be fine. - What?
Hit Lewis? Yes.
Lewis drives around, we gotta try and hit him.
- Right. - I can't wait. - Let's go. - Come on.
LEWIS: Heads up.
Just be careful. These holes are small
but you could still get a ball in.
- Can we open the door? - No, the door is very much staying shut.
Oh here we go, way-hey! Go and collect some balls.
Oh, I collected a ball!
Isaac, watch out because you're - gonna whack me. - I haven't hit a ball in... in months.
- - Argh! - Yeah! - You hit him! ISSAC: Did you get him, Jay?
I got him. Oh, my God.
Do a doughnut?
There's something wrong with my balls.
MATT: That's where I want him, right there.
Woah! That was right in the face!
(LAUGHS)
He's done a good job of picking them up.
Wow, he's got loads. You've done a good job there, Lewis.
Next time we'll do clay pigeon and you're gonna be a clay.
(ALL LAUGH) Jump out of trees.
I think I might not...
Thanks, guys. I've had a lovely time.
- Ant? - Yeah? I've gotta get that Malibu out.
- That? - Yeah. (LAUGHS)
The loudest car in history. - Yeah. - Good luck, mate.
I've never heard that thing be quiet ever.
No.
Yeah, but I don't think we can
go that low... (ENGINE REVVING) ...depends on how long it'll...
I don't know how long it'll take! I'm, no, we can't...
Did he notice? Good, mate, didn't notice. Fine.
None
Oh, wait a minute. That could not be more of a contrast.
Hello, Oliver. Hello, how are you? You okay?
- Very well. - How are you? Yeah good.
There it is. Look at that.
It's alright, innit? This is incredible.
This is absolutely nuts. It's just transformed it completely.
I think it's really come together. It looks like a proper good car.
I'm trying not to... I can't stop smiling, I honestly can't.
This is what we love. I love it when somebody's really pleased with it.
It's credit to Jamie because it's knowing when to stop,
because when you're doing bits... You wanna keep going, yeah.
...you chase around the car, your budget's doubled.
Obviously we've done the bonnet - for you. - Yeah.
And you've kept the black as well,
which is what I... what I really wanted.
And we've done your roof for ya. Yeah, it looks incredible.
We blacked out the rear end, because it flows,
with your black lights and stuff.
Yeah, that's 10 times better. Absolutely amazing.
Good, glad you're pleased.
Thanks for letting us do it, erm...
No, honestly it's... I couldn't ask for...
I couldn't ask for better at all. Good.
That's a good thing. Really, yeah, really pleased.
I'll know when you're leaving, I'll hear it start.
- Yeah. - I'll leave you to sort out business side of things.
- Definitely. - Nice to see you. Nice to see you.
It's not rocket science, is it?
Customer, in this case Ollie, brings car along,
Jamie and I produce a careful estimate,
Jamie does that work according to the estimate,
customer returns, sees work
and is happy and gives us money to do it.
How hard can it be?
- Hello? - Yo. How's it going?
It's all right. Bit of a catch up.
And to sort of enlighten you as to where it is.
What have you learned? How's it looking?
So, I've gone through the paperwork
and crunched the numbers, - and it's not brilliant. - Okay.
With your overheads, you need a certain amount of people
to make it work, it's a basic formula.
So, because of the size of the workshop
and the cost of running just the workshop,
I haven't got enough people to make enough money,
is that correct? That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
You need more people.
But getting more people means more salaries.
Yes, but it dilutes the burden rate.
(STUTTERS) Don't come round here with your...
I haven't read the books in airports about business.
So basically, it costs X pounds per hour...
Yeah... whether you open - the doors or not. - Yeah.
If I've got more people,
those expenses are diluted - across their hours. - Diluted, yeah.
I'd love to get more people in, you know I want to,
I want more skills, I want more people out there
but I'm... I'm a half a million quid into this.
If you don't get more people, you're going to be more than half a million quid into it.
I mean half a million -The formula says it's not going to work.
So basically...
I'm in the casino right now and you're telling me to double down.
You're telling me to go hard or go home.
Yeah, pretty much that's it, yeah.
If you want this, you've either gotta put more in it
and... and make it work
or... call it a day.
Right, enjoy it while it's this shape.
Nobody needs to know.
Can I... Oh, look at that?
And there was only one of them. WOMAN: There was only one.
We're talking about people's jobs.
It's not a game, it's their livelihood
and I'm very aware of that.
