Vivien, no longer trusting the new bus routes, boldly announces that she has decided to drive to work from now on, as the drama set in a Midlands health centre continues.

 

The one minor problem is that she hasn't actually passed her test. Confident as ever, she asserts that she will only need few refresher lessons in order to pass.

 

Keen to get started, she asks Jimmi's advice about buying a car and ends up railroading him into going to a car auction with her the following day.

 

Elsewhere, Julia's good mood doesn't last when she sees an article in the Letherbridge Gazette headlined "Surgery of Death".

 

Nick, meanwhile, helps a boy who claims he has a chocolate allergy in order to avoid working in his mother's sweet shop.

 

Vivien is played by Anita Carey, Jimmi by Adrian Lewis Morgan, Julia by Diane Keen and Nick by Michael McKell.

The intrepid Brits who are swapping fashion shopping for making the clothes, at source, in India, face their final challenge. The team's Indian adventure draws to a close in the nation's fashion capital, and home of the glitzy Bollywood industry, Mumbai. Every year, millions flock to the glamorous city with dreams of a better life. The harsh reality is that most end up in Deravi, Asia's largest slum and home to over a million people. The six Brits are extremely daunted at the prospect of working here. Stacey sums it up when she says: "If someone asked me to describe Hell, this is what I would describe."

 

The narrow passageways are crammed with backstreet workshops, piled one on top of the other, each packed with sewing machines, the air thick with dust and surrounded by debris. The group is split up in order to work there – the women are sent to one workshop and the men to another. It's hard, relentless work. The only saving grace for the team is that, unlike their Indian counterparts, they are not permitted to sleep alongside their machines.

 

The plight of these workers causes the Brits much consternation. Despite the terrible conditions, the workers are earning valuable money for their families.

 

Shockingly, the team notices children in a workshop. Legally, children can work from the age of 14 in Mumbai, but the boy Stacey sees looks a lot younger. The group spend time with a local charity which works with children who've been rescued from the slum. They hear some heart-wrenching stories and decide that action must be taken.
