| Summary |
With two more students sent home, including a very surprised Nebil, and Mike winning a reprieve, the eight remaining students are beginning to feel the pressure.The majority of them failed to impress international designer Philippe Starck and his team at the last challenge, only Polly seemed to fully grasp the project idea. At the next meeting, Philippe encourages the students to change their attitudes and makes it clear that laziness will not be tolerated.For the next challenge, Philippe encourages the students to step out of their comfort zone, think ethically, democratically and ecologically to come up with a useful product that can be developed into a sellable item. He's not asking them to re-design a product already on the market; instead their goal is to invent a useful product. They have a week to present their design ideas and prototype to Philippe.After a group discussion, the students branch off to pursue their ideas. A day before presentations are due, Eugeni Quitlet, Philippe Starck's head designer, checks on their progress and reminds them that they should have some sort of prototype to show. Realising that many of them fall short, the students work through the night to finish their projects. However presentation day is a disaster, with all students failing to fulfil the brief. Philippe is unimpressed and is ready to pull the plug on the whole project.PRODUCTION DETAILS:A TwoFour production for BBC. Series Producer: Sarah Wood |
