You Can't Get the Staff

Episode 2 of 6

Documentary series following life in a Bolton scrapyard. All is not well at the Walker home, and it is up to Terry to bring his family back together.

All is not well at the Walker home. Terry and Lyndsay aren't talking - Lyndsay's angry that Terry publicly sacked their son Jon for dropping a car from a forklift. Now plans to modernise the business and hand it on to their kids are in jeopardy.

The yard is a refuge for Terry, who's concentrating on what he does best: making money. He's on a mission to get the lads to remove every valuable part before cars get crushed - but even offering them financial incentives doesn't work, and Terry loses his temper.

Though that may not be the only reason - he is missing Jon. Hoping to make up, he texts his son, who comes into the yard. They resolve their issues, but that's only half the job. Terry sends flowers to Lyndsay, and that night Terry apologises and they kiss and make up.

In the yard, there is an air of optimism. Jon and Lyndsay are back, and everyone wants to get the business running efficiently. But when Terry ventures into the sales office, he sees some of the staff are getting things wrong - and when he calls the office pretending to be customers, things get worse.

Lyndsay and Terry try something totally new - proper job interviews to find new staff. But until they find the right people, they move Jon and daughter Cathy into the sales office. Terry takes Lyndsay for dinner - they may be talking again, but there are lots of challenges ahead.
