Sky1’s entertaining documentary sees two of the UK’s most respected dancers putting their reputations to the test, and on the line. Celebrity dancers ANTON DU BEKE and ERIN BOAG (Strictly Come Dancing) will select a team of dance rookies aged 14 to16 from a typical inner city comprehensive then have just four weeks to train the novices from scratch, to a high performance standard. The ‘students’ will then have to perform a dynamic dance routine at a major gala event to a packed house at the prestigious Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
Anton and Erin have played a huge part in the country’s renewed passion for the rumba, the tango and the Viennese waltz. They’re passionate about the potential of ballroom dancing and their outstanding talent and professionalism will definitely be invaluable to the 12 teenagers. However, this uplifting two-part series looks at the bigger picture; can ballroom dancing have a lot more to offer than glitz, glamour and celebs in sequins?
Sky1 has commissioned Mentorn Media to make a second series of School Musical.

Ruth travels to Bradford this week, to come to the aid of a £2,000,000 double-glazing business that faces ruin because of its slack salesmen.
She faces an uphill struggle though, with an average of just three customers a day coming into their costly new showroom. But the low volume of potential sales is irrelevant when the salesmen are never at work and, with soft touch MDs who are reminiscent of folically challenged Chuckle Brothers, nobody is doing anything about it. Their idea of taking a hard line is giving somebody a wedgie. Read more & comment »

In this week’s challenge, the remaining designers are asked to do something quite unnatural to them: work as a team.
All 12 hopefuls must create a lingerie line, consisting of three looks, before pitching their vision to judge Heidi Klum. But with only four to be commissioned to move forward with their line, the claws come out as the designers’ true colours begin to show.
With the four team leaders and lines selected, the remaining contestants are divided into teams to create the lingerie. Sparks soon begin to fly in the workroom as tensions reach an all-time high. And in the most dramatic elimination to date, one designer is sent home in an emotional farewell having threaded their last needle on the road to New York Fashion Week.

The Badger heads to rural Norfolk to turn around the fortunes of hapless caravan sellers Greentrees Adventure Store. With a childish team of burping, farting, squabbling salesmen, a boss who doesn’t know what day of the week it is (literally) and over a million pounds worth of stock gathering dust, it’s a mammoth challenge for Ruth.
“Greentrees was an emotional roller coaster. We’ve got the Gordon Ramsay of Norfolk as the owner, we’ve got Vern, who was literally a broken man, Matt who had the biggest attitude I’ve come across in business and Mark, who didn’t show any personality at all. If you want to see conflict and you want to see how to manage attitude, then watch Greentrees.”
Ruth’s undercover filming reveals some alarming practices and with 30 other dealers competing in the area, it’s sure to be one of the Badger’s toughest challenges to date.
