1
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,200
LEE: What's that about? Tell me.

2
00:00:33,267 --> 00:00:37,767
Because, you know, at the end of the day, you can say something

3
00:00:37,834 --> 00:00:41,133
and then it doesn't mean that you can't ever change your mind.

4
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,701
It's not me that's changing my mind, it's you that's changing your mind.

5
00:00:43,767 --> 00:00:45,701
-You always do. -Fine! But what's wrong with that?

6
00:00:45,767 --> 00:00:49,567
GARETH: Yeah, I feel sorry for Dawn and Lee.

7
00:00:49,634 --> 00:00:52,234
If they have to call off the wedding

8
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:55,267
then, sure, it'll be upsetting now,

9
00:00:55,334 --> 00:00:58,167
but in the end, it's for the best.

10
00:00:58,234 --> 00:01:00,133
The thing about long-term marriage

11
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,601
is that inevitably, the sex suffers.

12
00:01:03,667 --> 00:01:07,634
You constantly have to find new and erotic ways

13
00:01:07,701 --> 00:01:09,434
of spicing things up in the bedroom.

14
00:01:11,067 --> 00:01:13,267
It's a gift and a training.

15
00:01:13,334 --> 00:01:15,133
And I mean, you can either...

16
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,434
It's like I was already good at it before I was trained in it,

17
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:21,734
and now I'm trained in it I'm better than the people who were just trained...

18
00:01:21,801 --> 00:01:25,033
DAVID: Today's our staff training.

19
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:28,400
I do a couple a year.

20
00:01:28,467 --> 00:01:31,701
This is Rowan, our facilitator for the day.

21
00:01:31,767 --> 00:01:34,500
It's good to get in an outsider now and again.

22
00:01:34,567 --> 00:01:37,534
It helps to keep them sort of interested, you know.

23
00:01:37,601 --> 00:01:40,834
And it's what I trained in. I have an MBA from Bradford.

24
00:01:40,901 --> 00:01:44,467
I'm trained in it as well. I could have done this myself.

25
00:01:44,534 --> 00:01:47,267
But let me tell you what today is all about.

26
00:01:47,334 --> 00:01:50,667
-I can do that. -Well, it's my...thing.

27
00:01:50,734 --> 00:01:53,300
It's about customer care, really.

28
00:01:53,367 --> 00:01:56,033
Investment in people, i.e. the staff.

29
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:59,500
Letting them know that they are our most important commodity.

30
00:01:59,567 --> 00:02:02,534
And if they've got a problem, it's my problem.

31
00:02:03,601 --> 00:02:05,267
Uh...

32
00:02:07,901 --> 00:02:12,000
It's like if you're cleaning a floor and you're up against it,

33
00:02:12,067 --> 00:02:16,767
then come to me and I'll help us clean our floor together.

34
00:02:16,834 --> 00:02:18,634
So...

35
00:02:18,701 --> 00:02:20,667
Not literally.

36
00:02:27,734 --> 00:02:29,400
See you in there.

37
00:02:31,801 --> 00:02:33,734
I'm really sorry.

38
00:02:35,534 --> 00:02:38,701
Things will be okay between you and Lee, you know,

39
00:02:38,767 --> 00:02:42,367
because you and Lee are going to be together and he knows that,

40
00:02:42,434 --> 00:02:45,234
and if he doesn't appreciate that, then he's mad.

41
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:49,334
And if he... I tell you, if he doesn't appreciate it, I'll marry you. You know?

42
00:02:53,334 --> 00:02:56,200
(IN MONOTONE) Hello. You're through to Keith.

43
00:02:56,267 --> 00:02:59,934
I will be at training all day today.

44
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,500
Please call me or leave a message and I will call you tomorrow.

45
00:03:04,567 --> 00:03:06,300
-You're so lovely. -No, I'm not lovely.

46
00:03:06,367 --> 00:03:08,500
-You are. -No, you are.

47
00:03:09,901 --> 00:03:11,667
-I'm snotty. -You're snotty and lovely.

48
00:03:11,734 --> 00:03:13,601
I'd marry your snot.

49
00:03:13,667 --> 00:03:15,300
-All right? -All right, mate?

50
00:03:15,367 --> 00:03:16,801
-What's going on? -Nothing, it's fine.

51
00:03:16,868 --> 00:03:19,901
You're upset. About Lee, is it?

52
00:03:19,968 --> 00:03:21,767
Hey, don't worry, all right?

53
00:03:21,834 --> 00:03:23,601
'Cause you know Monkey Alan down in the warehouse?

54
00:03:23,667 --> 00:03:26,234
He fancies you even if no one else does. So...

55
00:03:28,801 --> 00:03:30,167
(SNIFFS)

56
00:03:36,968 --> 00:03:39,701
What was that?

57
00:03:39,767 --> 00:03:41,567
Just can't say anything when they're like that, can you?

58
00:03:41,634 --> 00:03:45,567
No. No, you can't. You can't. I was doing okay.

59
00:03:45,634 --> 00:03:48,234
What were you doing with the Monkey Alan business?

60
00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:50,234
Well, he fancies her. I'm just saying.

61
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:53,167
She didn't need to know that, mate. It's Monkey Alan. Even the name...

62
00:03:53,234 --> 00:03:55,701
I don't know who Monkey Alan is, I'm betting that Monkey Alan...

63
00:03:55,767 --> 00:03:58,500
-He's a little bloke. -I don't need to know.

64
00:03:58,567 --> 00:04:00,601
Go away, please.

65
00:04:00,667 --> 00:04:01,968
Go over there.

66
00:04:08,734 --> 00:04:10,234
My name's Rowan.

67
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:11,701
And I'm going to be leading us through today's sessions.

68
00:04:11,767 --> 00:04:13,567
Under me. Go on.

69
00:04:13,634 --> 00:04:15,801
Well, as David says, actually has briefed me, says that

70
00:04:15,868 --> 00:04:17,734
a lot of what we're covering I think you'll be familiar with.

71
00:04:17,801 --> 00:04:19,934
But it's not necessarily a bad idea to recap anyway,

72
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,500
and I hope that a few new ideas will be thrown into the pan as well.

73
00:04:23,567 --> 00:04:27,033
We're going to start by watching a video, so a nice and gentle start.

74
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:28,667
It's a bit cheesy and a bit '80s,

75
00:04:28,734 --> 00:04:33,234
but I think a lot of the ideas are still pretty valid. Okay?

76
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,601
A good idea is a good idea forever.

77
00:04:36,701 --> 00:04:38,100
Yeah. Okay.

78
00:04:39,067 --> 00:04:40,300
Philosophy.

79
00:04:40,367 --> 00:04:42,434
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

80
00:04:59,701 --> 00:05:02,300
Hi.

81
00:05:02,367 --> 00:05:06,634
What's the single most important thing to your business?

82
00:05:06,701 --> 00:05:10,133
-Staff. -That's right. The customer.

83
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,667
Mmm. Come at it from a different angle.

84
00:05:11,734 --> 00:05:15,100
These are your profits for this year.

85
00:05:16,601 --> 00:05:21,400
And this is what you're doing to those profits

86
00:05:21,601 --> 00:05:24,534
if you underestimate the value of customer care.

87
00:05:26,834 --> 00:05:28,801
That's not real money.

88
00:05:28,868 --> 00:05:31,500
-Do you know why? -TIM: 'Cause he'd be mad to burn it.

89
00:05:31,567 --> 00:05:34,701
No. 'Cause it's illegal to destroy or burn anything

90
00:05:34,767 --> 00:05:37,000
containing the Queen's image of the realm...

91
00:05:37,067 --> 00:05:40,534
-Can we just watch the video? -...on it. Yeah. That's true.

92
00:05:40,601 --> 00:05:43,801
Statistics show that if you're treated well as a customer,

93
00:05:43,868 --> 00:05:45,534
you'll tell five people.

94
00:05:45,601 --> 00:05:47,901
If you're treated badly, you'll tell nine.

95
00:05:49,634 --> 00:05:52,434
-So can you set fire to a postage stamp? -No.

96
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:56,400
In fact, a postage stamp is legal tender.

97
00:05:56,467 --> 00:05:59,801
A bus driver would have to accept that as currency.

98
00:05:59,868 --> 00:06:02,367
-Yeah, that'd happen. -Well, if he doesn't, report him.

99
00:06:02,434 --> 00:06:04,400
Yeah, I'll report him when I'm walking home.

100
00:06:04,467 --> 00:06:06,767
You can get a taxi if you've got enough stamps.

101
00:06:06,834 --> 00:06:10,667
-Or cash them in at a post office. -Shouldn't have to.

102
00:06:10,734 --> 00:06:12,667
Shouldn't have to.

103
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:15,534
Here's a typical office.

104
00:06:15,601 --> 00:06:18,200
Yeah? Yeah. Awful, isn't it?

105
00:06:18,267 --> 00:06:20,934
Oh, yeah? Oh, really? You know, I said to him...

106
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,934
Excuse me. I am in a hurry.

107
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,100
I'm on the phone. God, aren't some people rude?

108
00:06:26,167 --> 00:06:29,734
I must tell you about George. It all started about a year ago...

109
00:06:29,801 --> 00:06:33,601
Well done. That customer won't be bothering you again.

110
00:06:33,667 --> 00:06:35,400
Ever.

111
00:06:35,467 --> 00:06:37,367
Let's see what should have happened.

112
00:06:37,434 --> 00:06:40,234
Yeah? Yeah. Awful, isn't it?

113
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:43,234
Oh, yeah? Oh, really? You know and I said to him...

114
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:46,500
Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'll be with you in one moment.

115
00:06:46,567 --> 00:06:49,267
Sorry, Jean. I'm going to have to go. I have a customer.

116
00:06:49,334 --> 00:06:53,133
I'll call you back at a more convenient time.

117
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,267
All she had to do was acknowledge the customer's presence

118
00:06:56,334 --> 00:06:58,534
and end her personal call as quickly as possible.

119
00:07:02,434 --> 00:07:05,467
This is what we call the Customer Care Tree.

120
00:07:08,067 --> 00:07:10,734
So, your prescription will be ready on Friday, madam.

121
00:07:10,801 --> 00:07:13,234
Fine. See you Tuesday.

122
00:07:15,734 --> 00:07:18,267
So if you've put together a crack team,

123
00:07:18,334 --> 00:07:21,901
don't let your business get taken hostage by complacency.

124
00:07:21,968 --> 00:07:25,067
Make your motto "Who cares wins".

125
00:07:25,133 --> 00:07:28,100
Hey, I know you. Can I have your autograph?

126
00:07:28,167 --> 00:07:29,701
Of course you can.

127
00:07:29,767 --> 00:07:31,968
Thank you, Mr Noakes.

128
00:07:35,067 --> 00:07:36,901
Very good. Very good.

129
00:07:36,968 --> 00:07:39,734
Okay, then. Right. That's that. What are we going to...

130
00:07:39,801 --> 00:07:41,734
-John Noakes. -Yeah.

131
00:07:41,801 --> 00:07:43,167
They worked together on Blue Peter. That's what the reference was.

132
00:07:43,234 --> 00:07:46,167
-Can I...? -She was short-sighted.

133
00:07:46,234 --> 00:07:50,200
Okay. Right. Well, you've all seen the video.

134
00:07:50,267 --> 00:07:52,701
Now it's time for the dreaded role play.

135
00:07:52,767 --> 00:07:55,033
We'll kick off with your leader, David Brent.

136
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:58,234
David, if you'd like to come up here. Quick round of applause for David.

137
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:00,834
-(WEAK APPLAUSE) -No, no, no.

138
00:08:00,901 --> 00:08:02,567
I'm cheating, really. I have done this before.

139
00:08:02,634 --> 00:08:05,434
Oh, good. That should make it a lot easier for us.

140
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:08,634
-Okay, nice and simple to start with. -Hard as you like.

141
00:08:08,701 --> 00:08:10,801
Well, let's just kick off with something nice and easy, okay?

142
00:08:10,868 --> 00:08:14,901
I want us to play out a scenario that highlights customer care.

143
00:08:14,968 --> 00:08:17,400
-Okay. -All of you have to deal with people...

144
00:08:17,467 --> 00:08:19,434
-All the time. -...and it's always possible

145
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:21,234
-to improve your people skills. -Yeah.

146
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:24,234
Right. In this scenario, we'll start with something nice and easy.

147
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:26,901
I'm going to play... And this will be the wrong way to do it.

148
00:08:26,968 --> 00:08:30,534
I'm gonna play a very bad hotel manager who just doesn't care.

149
00:08:30,601 --> 00:08:32,934
Sorry, if it's a Basil Fawlty-type character,

150
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,868
they'll tell you, maybe I should do it, just for the comedy.

151
00:08:35,934 --> 00:08:38,767
Yeah, well, let me just play it now just to kick things off, okay?

152
00:08:38,834 --> 00:08:40,500
I'll probably bring something to this role anyway, so...

153
00:08:40,567 --> 00:08:42,534
Right. You've got a complaint.

154
00:08:42,601 --> 00:08:45,601
You come and complain and I'll show you the wrong way to handle it.

155
00:08:45,667 --> 00:08:48,667
This will be the wrong way. Right? So, off we go.

156
00:08:51,367 --> 00:08:54,000
-Sorry. What's the complaint? -Just make it up.

157
00:08:54,067 --> 00:08:58,701
Anything. Because there's no right or wrong thing in this scenario.

158
00:08:58,767 --> 00:09:01,000
Then we'll tell you the right thing afterwards, so...

159
00:09:01,067 --> 00:09:02,634
-You complain. -Right.

160
00:09:02,701 --> 00:09:04,667
Okay. Okay.

161
00:09:04,734 --> 00:09:06,801
-I'd like to make a complaint, please. -I don't care.

162
00:09:08,434 --> 00:09:10,234
Well, I am staying in the hotel...

163
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:11,734
I don't care. It's not my shift.

164
00:09:11,801 --> 00:09:13,334
Well, you're an ambassador for the hotel.

165
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,000
-I don't care. -I think you'll care when I tell you

166
00:09:15,067 --> 00:09:18,434
what the complaint is. I think there's been a rape up there!

167
00:09:26,567 --> 00:09:31,500
I've got his attention. Get their attention. Okay?

168
00:09:31,567 --> 00:09:35,434
-Right. So some interesting points. -Very interesting points.

169
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:37,500
It's not quite the point I was trying to make.

170
00:09:37,567 --> 00:09:39,100
Different points to be made.

171
00:09:39,167 --> 00:09:41,701
-I'm more interested in customer care. -So am I.

172
00:09:41,767 --> 00:09:43,667
-And the way that we would deal with... -I fazed you.

173
00:09:43,734 --> 00:09:46,934
Maybe, as I thought, I should play the hotel manager 'cause I'm used to that.

174
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,834
I fazed you. But you have a go, see if you can faze me. Okay?

175
00:09:50,901 --> 00:09:54,133
Yeah. Right. Okay. Um...

176
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,534
-Hello. I wish to make a complaint. -Not interested.

177
00:09:57,601 --> 00:09:59,400
-My room is an absolute disgrace. -Don't care.

178
00:09:59,467 --> 00:10:01,033
The bathroom doesn't appear to have been cleaned and...

179
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:02,667
What room are you in?

180
00:10:02,734 --> 00:10:06,367
-362. -There is no 362 in this hotel.

181
00:10:06,434 --> 00:10:08,801
Sometimes the complaints will be false.

182
00:10:10,567 --> 00:10:12,868
Okay? Good.

183
00:10:19,234 --> 00:10:24,000
Today is really about all of you getting to know and trust each other.

184
00:10:24,067 --> 00:10:25,767
So, before the next exercise,

185
00:10:25,834 --> 00:10:27,601
what I want us to do is just spend a few minutes...

186
00:10:27,667 --> 00:10:29,534
(KNOCKING)

187
00:10:29,601 --> 00:10:32,000
Sorry. Can I have a quick word with Dawn?

188
00:10:32,067 --> 00:10:33,400
Dawn?

189
00:10:36,701 --> 00:10:40,300
What I want us to do is for everyone to tell me their name

190
00:10:40,367 --> 00:10:43,334
and their ultimate dream, their ultimate fantasy in life.

191
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,667
I'll kick things off. My name's Rowan,

192
00:10:45,734 --> 00:10:49,534
and my dream is that I would love to have my own island.

193
00:10:49,601 --> 00:10:51,567
David.

194
00:10:51,634 --> 00:10:54,534
It depends what you mean by ultimate fantasy

195
00:10:54,601 --> 00:10:57,467
because time travel's actually impossible,

196
00:10:57,534 --> 00:10:58,601
so there'd be no point in wasting...

197
00:10:58,667 --> 00:11:00,067
Just interpret it any way you like.

198
00:11:00,133 --> 00:11:03,834
Well, if you're talking about anything that could

199
00:11:03,901 --> 00:11:07,667
or could not be possible, actually,

200
00:11:07,734 --> 00:11:11,500
anything that could be conceived of to happen or not

201
00:11:11,567 --> 00:11:14,934
within my realm, you know,

202
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,834
then probably some sort of everlasting life.

203
00:11:17,901 --> 00:11:20,534
I don't mean it in sort of just a spiritual or religious sense,

204
00:11:20,601 --> 00:11:24,133
but I mean actually to experience the future

205
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,167
and live, you know, on and on

206
00:11:27,234 --> 00:11:31,567
and on, you know, know what it's like to live forever.

207
00:11:31,634 --> 00:11:34,734
I think I'm starting to know what that's like.

208
00:11:34,801 --> 00:11:36,834
-No, I'm saying... -No, hang on.

209
00:11:36,901 --> 00:11:39,300
-You always have your say. -No, I don't always have my say.

210
00:11:39,367 --> 00:11:41,000
When do I have my say?

211
00:11:41,067 --> 00:11:43,701
I've been engaged to Lee for, um,

212
00:11:43,767 --> 00:11:46,267
God, about three years.

213
00:11:46,334 --> 00:11:49,500
He proposed on a Valentine's Day.

214
00:11:49,567 --> 00:11:51,467
Although he didn't do it face to face,

215
00:11:51,534 --> 00:11:55,534
he did it in one of the little Valentine's message bits in the paper.

216
00:11:55,601 --> 00:11:57,567
Um...

217
00:11:57,634 --> 00:12:01,167
I think he had to pay for it by the word because it just said,

218
00:12:01,234 --> 00:12:04,968
"Lee love Dawn. Marriage?"

219
00:12:07,033 --> 00:12:09,767
Which, you know, I like,

220
00:12:09,834 --> 00:12:15,167
'cause it's not often you get something that's both romantic and thrifty.

221
00:12:15,234 --> 00:12:17,634
And don't phone my mum again!

222
00:12:17,701 --> 00:12:20,400
-ROWAN: Uh, Dawn, do you want...? -Don't.

223
00:12:20,467 --> 00:12:21,500
Okay.

224
00:12:21,567 --> 00:12:23,634
Um...

225
00:12:23,701 --> 00:12:28,634
Gareth, a quick trust exercise. Ultimate fantasy?

226
00:12:28,701 --> 00:12:30,868
-Hmm? -We're just doing the ultimate fantasy.

227
00:12:30,934 --> 00:12:33,567
We're all doing it.

228
00:12:33,634 --> 00:12:37,601
Two lesbians, probably. Sisters. I'm just watching.

229
00:12:41,601 --> 00:12:43,801
Okay. Um...

230
00:12:43,868 --> 00:12:45,801
Tim? Do you have one?

231
00:12:45,868 --> 00:12:49,067
I never thought I'd say this, but can I hear more from Gareth, please?

232
00:12:54,934 --> 00:12:59,000
Okay. Well, this next exercise is all about

233
00:12:59,067 --> 00:13:00,634
motivation.

234
00:13:00,701 --> 00:13:03,167
And that's going to be a key word today, motivation.

235
00:13:03,234 --> 00:13:05,834
So... Keith?

236
00:13:05,901 --> 00:13:08,934
What would you say was your motivation for working here?

237
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,968
-Being part of a team, I'd have thought. -Just let him answer.

238
00:13:11,033 --> 00:13:13,534
No, I'm saying. Probably what he'll say if you ask him.

239
00:13:13,601 --> 00:13:16,567
Well, I am asking him and I'd really like him to answer.

240
00:13:16,634 --> 00:13:18,567
-Do you want to answer him? -Thanks.

241
00:13:18,634 --> 00:13:20,601
-This job's just a stop-gap, really. -Wow.

242
00:13:20,667 --> 00:13:24,567
The job's not difficult. I don't take my work home with me.

243
00:13:24,634 --> 00:13:27,000
-It's pretty brainless. -Well, at your level, maybe.

244
00:13:27,067 --> 00:13:31,667
But ultimately, I want to play music, write music and play in a band.

245
00:13:31,734 --> 00:13:34,834
Good luck! Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt. Next!

246
00:13:34,901 --> 00:13:36,133
-Okay, Keith... -DAWN: You were in a band?

247
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,901
-Like a rock band? -Yeah.

248
00:13:37,968 --> 00:13:41,167
-What were you called? -Foregone Conclusion.

249
00:13:41,234 --> 00:13:43,167
Look, David, I'm not absolutely sure this is really the right time...

250
00:13:43,234 --> 00:13:45,901
-Well, I've got to field the questions. -TIM: David.

251
00:13:45,968 --> 00:13:48,934
-What did you do in the group? -Singer-songwriter.

252
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,534
Lyrics man, mainly, but you know, the music came easy as well, so...

253
00:13:53,601 --> 00:13:56,434
Okay. Right. So, are there any more questions for David?

254
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:58,834
-No? Good. -You didn't give them a chance.

255
00:13:58,901 --> 00:14:02,601
-Did you want to say something? -Were you successful?

256
00:14:02,667 --> 00:14:05,534
Were we successful? I'll let you be the judge of that

257
00:14:05,601 --> 00:14:07,968
when I tell you that we were once supported

258
00:14:08,033 --> 00:14:13,167
by a little-known Scottish outfit called Texas.

259
00:14:13,234 --> 00:14:17,968
Yeah, and I get all this, "Oh, David, you're a brilliant singer-songwriter.

260
00:14:18,033 --> 00:14:23,133
"You're stuck in Slough while it's Texas that are off making all the money.

261
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,000
"And they're rubbish compared to you."

262
00:14:25,067 --> 00:14:27,534
And I go, "Don't slag them off."

263
00:14:27,601 --> 00:14:31,667
I say, "I've been there, I've done that. That's behind me."

264
00:14:31,734 --> 00:14:33,067
And I respect...

265
00:14:33,133 --> 00:14:36,934
The thing is, we're both good in our own fields.

266
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:42,267
I'm sure Texas couldn't run and manage a successful paper merchant's.

267
00:14:42,334 --> 00:14:44,434
I couldn't do what...

268
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:46,334
Actually, I could do what they do,

269
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,901
and I think they knew that even back then.

270
00:14:48,968 --> 00:14:51,467
Probably what spurred them on.

00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:16,133


350
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,100


351
00:19:19,167 --> 00:19:22,133


352
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,667


353
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:31,167


354
00:19:33,534 --> 00:19:34,734


355
00:19:34,801 --> 00:19:37,534
Was that originally about Princess Diana?

356
00:19:37,601 --> 00:19:40,334
Originally. But it fits perfectly, doesn't it?

357
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,100
Not the car crash bit.

358
00:19:43,167 --> 00:19:44,634
Well...

359
00:19:44,701 --> 00:19:47,734
Your relationship with Lee is a bit like a car crash.

360
00:19:47,801 --> 00:19:49,734
In Paris?

361
00:19:49,801 --> 00:19:51,567
City of love.

362
00:19:53,534 --> 00:19:56,500
You're right. It fits perfectly. Thank you.

363
00:19:58,701 --> 00:20:02,100


364
00:20:02,167 --> 00:20:05,734


365
00:20:11,801 --> 00:20:13,534
-Being dumped is the perfect excuse... -I wasn't dumped.

366
00:20:13,601 --> 00:20:17,100
-...to do all the things you want to do. -I wasn't dumped.

367
00:20:17,167 --> 00:20:20,434
And actually, I have been thinking of leaving.

368
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:21,934
Oh, I meant shagging...

369
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,934
How long have you been thinking of leaving?

370
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,801
-Who's leaving? -I am.

371
00:20:25,868 --> 00:20:28,234
Well, that's just stupid. You've got a job here for life.

372
00:20:28,300 --> 00:20:31,434
Yeah. Actually, I don't want to spend my life answering phones

373
00:20:31,500 --> 00:20:34,334
in some crappy sub-branch paper merchant's.

374
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,868
Dawn, work hard, you could be answering those phones in Head Office

375
00:20:37,934 --> 00:20:39,601
or a better paper merchant's.

376
00:20:39,667 --> 00:20:41,467
Gareth, she doesn't want to waste her life in paper.

377
00:20:41,534 --> 00:20:43,400
Not a waste, actually, not a waste.

378
00:20:43,467 --> 00:20:45,133
Look at Geoff Lamp.

379
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,167
42 years old, he's got his own Porsche. That's from paper.

380
00:20:48,234 --> 00:20:49,601
How long you been thinking about leaving?

381
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,000
And are you going to lay down any of those tracks?

382
00:21:00,067 --> 00:21:02,400
Well, I've got a lot of 'em on demo anyway from the band days,

383
00:21:02,467 --> 00:21:05,400
but, you know, they're about 10 years old, so if I wanted to send them out

384
00:21:05,467 --> 00:21:08,667
I'd have to pretty much lay down some drum and bass shit on them.

385
00:21:08,734 --> 00:21:10,367
Like sample and shit.

386
00:21:10,434 --> 00:21:12,200
And if you take the band back on the road,

387
00:21:12,267 --> 00:21:13,801
are you going to need any help with that?

388
00:21:13,868 --> 00:21:16,267
-Look, I'm sorry to... -Hold on, man. What are you saying?

389
00:21:16,334 --> 00:21:18,801
You know, are you going to need a manager?

390
00:21:18,868 --> 00:21:21,634
Well, I'll probably manage myself, you know, 'cause...

391
00:21:21,701 --> 00:21:23,934
I could be your assistant manager.

392
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,767
You could be assistant to the manager. Hold on, man. Shoot.

393
00:21:27,834 --> 00:21:30,200
Yeah, it's just we've got a lot to get through and no one's back.

394
00:21:30,267 --> 00:21:31,834
Yeah, I'm hearing you. Do you want to go in,

395
00:21:31,901 --> 00:21:33,400
get them over here 'cause Rowan wants to crack on with this.

396
00:21:33,467 --> 00:21:34,567
-Do you want me to discipline them? -Nah,

397
00:21:34,634 --> 00:21:37,667
just get them over here. Done.

398
00:21:39,467 --> 00:21:42,601
Imagine him in a band. Bald old git.

399
00:21:42,667 --> 00:21:45,367
The glasses would be stupid, so...

400
00:21:45,434 --> 00:21:47,500
What's the vibe in the second half?

401
00:21:47,567 --> 00:21:49,000
'Cause...

402
00:21:52,767 --> 00:21:56,434
Yeah. Not always for this company. I've worked for various... Hi.

403
00:21:56,500 --> 00:21:59,100
-Hi. -Various companies over the years.

404
00:21:59,167 --> 00:22:02,767
How did you get into doing this, then? How did you start?

405
00:22:02,834 --> 00:22:06,901
Doing what I do? There are lots of ways, really.

406
00:22:06,968 --> 00:22:09,167
Are you thinking of doing it?

407
00:22:09,234 --> 00:22:12,500
I wouldn't mind, actually. It looks like it is quite good fun.

408
00:22:12,567 --> 00:22:14,500
-Does it? -Yeah. It looks quite interesting.

409
00:22:16,634 --> 00:22:21,234
Right. This next exercise is all about forward planning

410
00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:23,033
and teamwork.

411
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:25,734
I'm going to need to put you into pairs for this.

412
00:22:25,801 --> 00:22:28,834
So, um... Well, Gareth, if you can go with Tim.

413
00:22:28,901 --> 00:22:30,868
Oh, God!

414
00:22:30,934 --> 00:22:32,868
Yeah, all right, smart arse.

415
00:22:32,934 --> 00:22:34,200
I wouldn't want to be stuck with you in a situation, either.

416
00:22:34,267 --> 00:22:36,067
A situation? What...?

417
00:22:36,133 --> 00:22:38,667
Who would you rather be with on a desert island, then, Gareth,

418
00:22:38,734 --> 00:22:41,667
with some whittling wood and berries?

419
00:22:42,567 --> 00:22:44,234
Daley Thompson.

420
00:22:46,801 --> 00:22:49,868
Okay. Let me give you the problem.

421
00:22:49,934 --> 00:22:52,868
A farmer, not pictured,

422
00:22:52,934 --> 00:22:55,734
has a chicken, a bag of grain and a fox,

423
00:22:55,801 --> 00:22:58,033
and he needs to get them from one side of the river to the other.

424
00:22:58,100 --> 00:22:59,834
But, and here's the rub,

425
00:22:59,901 --> 00:23:03,534
his boat is only big enough to take one item at a time.

426
00:23:03,601 --> 00:23:07,100
So I want you to work out in what order he takes them across the river.

427
00:23:07,167 --> 00:23:10,067
-Remember... -Five minutes, okay?

428
00:23:10,133 --> 00:23:15,901
He can't take the fox first because then the chicken will eat the seed.

429
00:23:15,968 --> 00:23:18,834
You all right?

430
00:23:21,334 --> 00:23:23,467
Okay. He can't take the grain first

431
00:23:23,534 --> 00:23:25,801
because he can't leave the fox and the chicken together.

432
00:23:25,868 --> 00:23:28,400
The fox and the chicken together? Bloodbath.

433
00:23:28,467 --> 00:23:32,300
Yeah, I know. He can't leave the chicken with the grain.

434
00:23:32,367 --> 00:23:36,367
Er, hello? I'm a chicken. Thank you, Tim for leaving me with my favourite food.

435
00:23:36,434 --> 00:23:39,734
I was saying, Gareth, you can't do that. All right?

436
00:23:39,801 --> 00:23:43,367
How big is this chicken? Is it the same size as a bag of grain?

437
00:23:43,434 --> 00:23:45,701
-I don't know. Big chicken. -Yeah. How big?

438
00:23:45,767 --> 00:23:47,767
-Big. It's a super-chicken. -Hmm.

439
00:23:47,834 --> 00:23:49,801
What's the farmer doing with a fox?

440
00:23:49,868 --> 00:23:53,334
A fox is a farmer's worst enemy. He should drown the fox in the river.

441
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,567
Gareth, it's a puzzle. It's just a puzzle.

442
00:23:55,634 --> 00:23:57,767
Yeah, well, it's stupid. It doesn't mean anything.

443
00:23:57,834 --> 00:23:59,601
What are we learning from this?

444
00:23:59,667 --> 00:24:03,234
It's not about learning, it's just a problem to be solved.

445
00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:05,634
-Put the grain on a wall. -There's not a wall.

446
00:24:05,701 --> 00:24:07,434
-There's always walls. -Not here, there isn't.

447
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:11,434
What, there's just nothing? There's just a farm and a river?

448
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:13,567
-Get his wife to help. -He ain't got a wife.

449
00:24:13,634 --> 00:24:16,367
-All farmers have wives. -Not this one, he's gay.

450
00:24:16,434 --> 00:24:19,968
Well, then he shouldn't be allowed near animals, should he?

451
00:24:20,033 --> 00:24:21,901
Then take the grain next.

452
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:23,300
-Then the grain. -Yeah.

453
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:34,400
He's got to take the chicken first

454
00:24:34,467 --> 00:24:37,434
so he can leave the fox with the grain.

455
00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:39,934
-Shall I tell them? -That's okay, I'll do it.

456
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,868
-They're more receptive to me. -It's straightforward. Right, everybody.

457
00:24:43,934 --> 00:24:46,367
Here's the answer.

458
00:24:46,434 --> 00:24:50,200
First he takes the chicken across, leaving the fox with the grain.

459
00:24:50,267 --> 00:24:52,133
-Fine. -Then he comes back

460
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,934
and takes the fox across, but he brings the chicken back with him.

461
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,434
Then he takes the grain across, leaves it with the fox,

462
00:24:56,500 --> 00:24:59,367
and finally he comes back for the chicken. And he's done it.

463
00:24:59,434 --> 00:25:01,667
-Now, I'm sure you all got the answer... -Easy.

464
00:25:01,734 --> 00:25:03,701
Yeah, but you see, the important thing here

465
00:25:03,767 --> 00:25:05,834
is that you were all working as a team.

466
00:25:05,901 --> 00:25:07,934
Sorry. Gareth?

467
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,968
Yeah. Some questions.

468
00:25:16,033 --> 00:25:18,701
I hope that what that exercise demonstrated was that it's vital

469
00:25:18,767 --> 00:25:21,667
-that every member of a team... -Follows a leader.

470
00:25:21,734 --> 00:25:24,901
Well, knows their place within that structure.

471
00:25:24,968 --> 00:25:28,334
-Some may be leaders... -He knows best, or she.

472
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,968
Whoever's in charge

473
00:25:30,033 --> 00:25:32,234
-may be the person. -In a team of women, for example.

474
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:34,400
It may be women or men, of course,

475
00:25:34,467 --> 00:25:35,868
but that somebody may be scoring the goals...

476
00:25:35,934 --> 00:25:38,033
DAVID: Can't stress that enough.

477
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:39,634
ROWAN: No, of course. Absolutely.

478
00:25:39,701 --> 00:25:41,634
But it doesn't matter whether... You may not be the person

479
00:25:41,701 --> 00:25:43,000
ROWAN: who apparently... DAVID: Unconditional trust,

480
00:25:43,067 --> 00:25:45,033
is returned in leadership.

481
00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:50,267
It's important that you know your place and that you are supported by...

482
00:25:50,334 --> 00:25:53,033
-Maybe we should just move on... -Move on.

483
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:55,667
-...at this stage to another exercise. -Okay.

484
00:25:55,734 --> 00:25:57,000
What about this one?

485
00:25:57,067 --> 00:26:01,434
What do we think might be the lesson here?

486
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:02,701
Dogs?

487
00:26:02,767 --> 00:26:05,434
Say what you see, Gareth.

488
00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:08,133
-Give a dog a bone. -He's not Roy Walker, Gareth.

489
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,167
All right, then, what is it?

490
00:26:10,234 --> 00:26:13,601
If we pull together in the same direction, it's better for all of us.

491
00:26:13,667 --> 00:26:15,334
Yeah, they could be fighting over them bones.

492
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,334
They're not fighting, they're smiling.

493
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,200
In the picture, maybe, but in reality...

494
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:28,200
Look, the point here is that if the team is focused on its objectives

495
00:26:28,267 --> 00:26:30,100
and those of the individual members,

496
00:26:30,167 --> 00:26:32,901
then it's easier for everyone to achieve their goals.

497
00:26:32,968 --> 00:26:37,133
It's like the fable. You know the one where the dog's got a bone

498
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,567
and he goes down to the lake to get a drink and he sees his reflection.

499
00:26:40,634 --> 00:26:43,200
And he goes, "That dog's got a better bone than mine.

500
00:26:43,267 --> 00:26:44,934
"I think I'll have his as well."

501
00:26:45,133 --> 00:26:47,601
And when he opens his mouth to get the bone that's a reflection,

502
00:26:47,667 --> 00:26:50,234
he drops the real bone and he loses both.

503
00:26:50,300 --> 00:26:53,500
And what's that got to do with this?

504
00:26:53,567 --> 00:26:56,634
It's what Gareth was saying about if we've got our bones,

505
00:26:56,701 --> 00:27:00,033
don't go for other people's bones, fight over them, because you'll lose your own.

506
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:01,834
What does that mean?

507
00:27:03,267 --> 00:27:06,567
Ooh, don't you know? I thought it was...

508
00:27:06,634 --> 00:27:08,367
Bones.

509
00:27:08,434 --> 00:27:11,968
-I'm bored of this. I am so bored. -Yeah. So am I.

510
00:27:12,033 --> 00:27:13,968
No, sorry, I don't mean this. I mean everything.

511
00:27:14,033 --> 00:27:16,300
The job. I'm bored of the job. Sorry, Rowan, no disrespect.

512
00:27:16,367 --> 00:27:18,868
TIM: This is a waste of time. ROWAN: I know how you feel.

513
00:27:18,934 --> 00:27:20,901
MAN: Let's get on with this. Nearly finished now.

514
00:27:20,968 --> 00:27:24,534
I can't take any more of this nonsense. I can't take another boring call

515
00:27:24,601 --> 00:27:27,434
about Spa White index board at 230 a tonne, so...

516
00:27:27,500 --> 00:27:29,634
-260. -No, you're a twat, okay? Shut up.

517
00:27:29,701 --> 00:27:34,467
Shut up. I'll give you my... We'll work out my notice.

518
00:27:34,534 --> 00:27:36,701
-Right now, I'm going. Goodbye. -Tim, oh...

519
00:27:38,801 --> 00:27:40,167
He'll be fine.

520
00:27:41,968 --> 00:27:45,100
A waste of time. It was all a waste of time.

521
00:27:45,834 --> 00:27:48,901
Oh, see? Pressure.

522
00:27:49,133 --> 00:27:50,434
Not as easy as it looks.

523
00:27:50,500 --> 00:27:54,601
Sometimes the experience outweighs the...

524
00:27:54,667 --> 00:27:56,701
Sorry, David. Dawn. I was just wondering,

525
00:27:56,767 --> 00:28:00,067
now you've split up with Lee, would you like to come out for a drink with me?

526
00:28:01,801 --> 00:28:03,300
One...

527
00:28:03,367 --> 00:28:06,000
I haven't split up with him.

528
00:28:08,601 --> 00:28:13,000
No, I know. I meant as a friend. I did mean as a friend.

529
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:15,901
Okay. See you later. Yeah.

530
00:28:25,868 --> 00:28:28,133
Go and get the guitar.

531
00:28:31,767 --> 00:28:32,767
DAVID: Ooh.

532
00:28:34,534 --> 00:28:36,868
I'll probably write a song about this one day.

533
00:28:36,934 --> 00:28:39,000
(STRUMMING GUITAR)

534
00:28:43,434 --> 00:28:48,534
DAVID:

535
00:28:48,601 --> 00:28:52,133


536
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,167


537
00:28:54,234 --> 00:28:58,567


538
00:29:01,267 --> 00:29:06,000
We used to have a political reggae one called Equality Street. So...

539
00:29:08,334 --> 00:29:09,601
DAVID: Okay.
