The Richard Taylor Interviews

Series 1 Episode 1
First Broadcast:

In this episode, job applicants are all top graduates keen to join Richard in telling companies how to work smarter.

Each candidate must tell a fictional Mr Atkins of Atkins and Son that he must halve his workforce. Only problem is the company is just him and his son. To show they've got what it takes, these chaps are also required to see the business metaphor in a banana.

As Richard's approach to business ideas is often very physical, candidates should perhaps have thought twice when invited to think inside the box.
