In the sixth episode of series three, This week Sir Alan sends the teams over the channel to sell quality British food products at a local French market. Two boys we haven’t seen that much from head up their respective teams - Lohit for Eclipse and Paul for Stealth. The teams have a day to pick up their chosen food lines before catching the ferry. Paul’s team decide to turn to good old british sausage and cheese, while Lohit went down the route of an english breakfast. The next day on the market, the teams get to work. Team leader of Eclipse, Lohit with his English breakfast theme makes a shrewd move to sell fine quality smoked fish, picking tea to sell to a coffee-drinking nation is a red herring. Over on Stealth’s stall, the sausages are still raw in the pan at ten o’clock, and they haven’t sold a single packet. The lumps of cheese are proving unpopular too. Back in the boardroom, with the money on the table: Lohit’s team Eclipse spent £446 and made a £410 profit. Paul’s team were anything but stealthy and spent £741 and made a loss of £225.84. Sir Alan didn’t hide his disgust at Paul’s ultimate failure. ‘It’s a total bloody joke’ he barked.
Paul’s head was on the block and was labelled a ’shambles’ by Sir Alan and soon after was fired.

Did you think Paul was to blame? Any suggestions of what would have gone down well with the French?
