My 10 year old watched every prog of this series, she wants to work for 'SrrrrrAlan'. Not my choice of employer, he strikes me as grumpy, taciturn and mercurial. I reckon it'd be a dog's life.

Then when I eventually persuaded her to go to bed, she happily said 'shame it's over, not long now till Strictly Come Dancing' - aaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh

I'm not so sure, Salesmen are ten a penny, most (but not all) can amble about a crowded room and have the front to talk to people they don't know, which was really all he did a few times. Team motivators probably need a little more than the ability to thrust themselves into the forefront of tasks they are clearly not equipped to deal with (bottle of PSSSSST! anybody?). Fair play though he was honest and up front about his abilities, lack of confidence, oh but hang on, he lied about his CV! Can anybody think of 1 attribute he had that's worth paying him a six figure salary apart from being pretty handy with hair gel? As I said good on him though for bluffing his way into the job! If BS was paid for by the pound then he'd probably earn more freelance though.
