Episode 1: Scrubbing up
It's week one and already there are surprises in store. One candidate has 'bottled it' and that's before he even met Sir Alan. 'I'm going to find out if you're the real deal,' says Sir Alan. He's looking for a diamond, but which candidates are going to sparkle?
The first task is to start up a cleaning business. With up to £200 to spend on materials, the objective is simple: to find business and make a profit. At the end of the day, how hard is it to clean a car?
