Anyone else watching this - 10 minutes left on BBC2 now.

They're even trying to flog a car to the cameramen to meet their targets!

Absolutely excellent - they all hate this salesman called Uri - one of the other salesmen nutted him

It is well worth a watch - great laugh

Been in there before when my mate was after a car, the guy with the dark hair pounced on us as soon as we walked in.

P.S and no we didn't buy a car

I saw it and tried to explain it to someone at work today - couldn't do it justice.

Does anyone know if it will be on again (maybe one of the digital channels)?

regards, Mark.

I have to wonder if the phrase no publicty is bad publicity is true. I laughed my way through it but would never go to a car supermarket now.

The pressure some of those punters were put through was amazing. As bad as double glazing salesman.

Did anyone here Mr Dale refer to his servants!!!

Very very funny

BTW it's not just car salesmen. In my experience its all salesmen. I have the dubious pleasure of working with some right croo..., sorry IT salesmen. The amount of crap me and my colleagues have to clear up after another 'solution' has been mis-sold is unbelievable!

Great staff relations.
Person A nuts Person B
Person B refuses to shake his hand after.
Person A keeps his job
Person B gets sacked.

Ok the guy is a millionaire but what a tw*t.

I really enjoyed this proggy - but I had the feeling that it wasn't a true documentary and a lot of it was staged

Got to say I agree with the above comment. It seemed a lot of the programme was played up for the cameras.

To be honest I thought they would announce at the end the whole thing was one great big wind up.

How many Merc's did Mr Dale have for heavens sake?????

..... the little bugging trick is very common in many trades.

Ive used it in reverse when I wanted to by a Quattro.... "Popped out for a few mins to look at car"

listened to guy telling girlfriend about what "I had missed..and what he hoped I wouldnt find."



sales Bloke in the Lexus ...sad or what!!! me thinks a batty boy...
