Hello, love, what do you want? Do
you want a cappuccino?

Cappuccino, do you want sprinkles
with that?

Coming up, love. That's great.

If you're in a rush, why don't you
make it yourself, love?

It's Cafes Week.

Ten aspiring designers

competing for one life-changing
contract -

to transform a luxury hotel
apartment in Cornwall.

Last time...

It's like watching a Diet Coke
advert.

..the designers put the glam into
glamping.

You can't send me home. I've done a
fun gypsy wagon.

Paul and Banjo sailed through.

This is the boat that rocked.

Amy fell foul of the judges.

All you're doing is looking at the
dead magpie.

But it was a dark day for Dean.

I am going to go straight in for the
jugular on this one.

Yeah, thank you for having me. Take
care, guys.

It's Week Six and the remaining
designers have arrived

at Michelle's Brighton studio

to hear their next brief and battle
it out for a place in the semifinal.

This is it, four.
Feeling kind of empty.

We're here! Final four. Honestly
blows my mind.

To enter the week as a winner

is a feeling that I actually haven't
had before.

Are you ready for it?

Kind of. Are you?

I stepped it up last week,

so I'm nervous that I might have to
step it up even more.

Everyone's really, really good,
so it's anyone's to lose, I suppose.

Oh, here they are, the fabulous
foursome.

Hello. Hey. Hi, Alan.

How are you feeling? Good. Excited.
Good, good, good.

Does it feel a bit eerie now
everyone's gone?

Yeah. They're haunting us, though.
Yeah.

So, who's going to win?

Who's got their eyes on the prize?
Come on.

I think we all do at this point.
I say it every week, so...

You say it. And I love your outfit.

Is your horse tied up outside?

He's Zorro. Yeah, Zorro, isn't it?

And who knows what Michelle is
plotting this week.

Dun, dun, dun!

Oh, speak of the devil, here she is.

Hello, everyone. ALL: Hi, Michelle.

For this week's challenge,

we are heading to the coastal town
of Margate.

Oh, wow. Oh, cool.

I've got two high-street cafes that
need to be brought up to speed.

Margate - Kent's seaside capital of
cool with a mile of sandy beaches,

Turner's Contemporary art gallery

and the retro Dreamland amusement
park.

It's also home to two much-loved
cafes

that the designers must transform
with their skills and vision.

The owners want the spaces to be
multifunctional,

so that's attracting really solid
daytime trade

but being able to be used in the
evening

for maybe more relaxed drinks and
dinner.

Once again, you're working in pairs

and teams will have to design a cafe
each.

Fran...

..you'll be working with...

..Amy. Yes!

And, Banjo, you'll be working with
Paul.

Eh. Yes, it's battle of the sexes.

Woohoo. And, of course, I have to be
impartial cos I'm the host,

but, come on, lads. Yeah! Yeah!

You can do it!

Ladies, you know what to do.

Indeed. So, I'm expecting you to
collaborate,

but at this stage of the
competition,

I need to see clear ownership of the
design decisions.

What I'd suggest is you give each
other clear zones

to take responsibility for.

And you need to bring your A game

cos only three of you can stay in
the competition.

WHISPERS: Oh, God. We'll see you at
the seaside.

Yes. Yay. Good luck. Good luck.

Thank you, bye. Thanks, guys.

Going to Margate. Come on, Banjo.

Yes. We can do it.

We can beat the boys.

Paul and Banjo are first to meet
their clients, Eli and Heather,

owners of live music cafe Olby's.

So, we'd really love to know a
little bit about the space

and what you are expecting from us.

It should be a space, where diverse
communities come together

cos that's what happens here.

Cool, kind of soulful, a bit jazzy
as well.

This is Margate with a Caribbean
twist.

Are you open to colour? Where are
you at with that?

I think we're open to colour,

because in the day, sometimes it
was just a little bit too dark.

It does need a refresh. It does need
to be more comfortable.

What we need to do is look at how
you can appeal

to your daytime Margate passersby.

Exactly. The daytime, we need to
survive.

We are just literally a stone's
throw away from Turner.

We have to find a way to get those
people, instead of walking past,

get them to walk in. Yeah.

What kind of food do you guys serve?

We're known for the best roast on
the coast.

We were voted second best in Kent by
locals.

We feel the heart and soul, so we're
going to bring it for you.

Bring the heart, brother. Bring the
heart. Yeah. Bring the heart.

We'll see you in Margate. See you
soon.

See you. Bye.

Bye-bye.

It's such a nice space. They're so
invested in it.

No pretence. If we keep it a
welcoming space,

I think that's the key.

Sort of French Caribbean could
attract

a bit more upmarket kind of
customer. Yeah, yeah.

You get those sort of brass curtain
rails

that you just draw around the
entrance,

and then the little kind of French
cafe curtains

that soften the space during the
day.

I want to make sure it has, like,
heart and soul. Yeah.

So, it's about taking that Caribbean
vibe. Yeah.

So, I want to pop bright, fresh blue
on the walls

but adding a cool, homely twist on
that.

If Paul and I can meet somewhere in
the middle with his style and taste

and my heart and soul,

I think we might make some magic.

So, pressure's on. I think this will
be good.

Margate with a Caribbean twist.
Yeah, here we come.

We got this.

We both want the same vision,

but I don't know how Banjo works,
he doesn't know how I work.

We can only guess at this stage.

Next door, Fran and Amy are getting
insider info from cafe owner Roy

on his family-run cafe, Charlie's.

We are right on the most prominent
place in the seafront

and our prices are very reasonable.

Probably the lowest price in the
town.

You know, you can still get a
cappuccino for £2.

Oh, we can't wait to visit, then.

You can get anything from beans on
toast to T-bone steaks.

In terms of the space, where are you
with it?

Well, we didn't want sort of nets
and fish hanging from the ceiling

and things like that cos we're on
the seafront. We don't want that.

Yeah. We want it sort of...

..like coming to somebody's
comfortable lounge.

It was an old Indian restaurant
before.

Oh, OK. So, all mosaic tiles.

You can do whatever you like.

You know, if you want to rip it off,
rip it off.

If you want to cover it, cover it.

You can trust us. Yeah, you're in
safe hands.

Yes, thank you. Bye, Roy. See you,
thanks so much. Bye.

What are you thinking? Sounds like a
family place.

Not coastal, not cliche. Yeah, not
coastal's really good.

I think one of the main things is to
get rid of that mosaic.

And that bar. The bar at the back
looks pretty messy.

It's a toughie. You've got that
awful mosaic tiling.

But I think Amy and I really
understand colour and pattern,

so I'm hoping our collaboration will
just make us both really strong.

Art Deco is so key in terms of it
being on the British coastline.

I took that reference from
Dreamland.

I've got, like, really contemporary
colours,

maybe with, like, panelling.

And also just making the back area
just more inviting

cos you imagine it would be like

everyone wants to be at the front
for the view,

but I think we could give someone
a reason to go to the back. Yeah.

So, my idea for the colour palette

was just to kind of reference
Turner,

who did loads of lovely beach
paintings of Margate,

sunrise and sunset.

So, there's some oranges in there,

some teal, a bit of aqua. Not too
bright.

I think Fran and I have a lot
of instinctual creativity within us

and we are also quite harmonious,

so hopefully that will continue
this week into the next challenge.

Now, Margate's dubbed
Shoreditch-by-the-sea.

Do you reckon they should cater for
these trendy London types like me,

who come down on a skateboard with a
Hoxton thin?

I know what you mean

and I think Margate has found its
cool by being Margate.

Just in the same way that you have
found your cool

by just being yourself. Aw.

So, our designers just need to
interpret it in their own way

and not try and replicate cool from
anywhere else.

That would be a real mistake.

Are you expecting them to have a few
nods to the seaside

or do you see that as tacky?

No, I think...I think good design
is always about the location,

but they have to come up with their
interpretation of that.

These cafe owners, who have probably
had these cafes for years,

have just poured their heart and
soul into their business,

so you really don't want to mess it
up, do you?

And often they have very clear
ideas

about what they think is right

cos they're very passionate about
their businesses.

I think it's going to be very
tense at this seaside, I do.

# In the summertime
when the weather is hot

# You can stretch right up
and touch the sky... #

Each designer will be responsible
for separate zones

within their Margate cafes.

For the boys, just off the seafront,

in the heart of the town's creative
quarter, lies Olby's.

Soul cafe. Soul cafe.

Ooh!

Da, da, da! Oh.

Wow.

I'm suddenly nervous that we're
going to ruin it.

It's beautiful already.

I think we're amplifying.

And for the girls, situated directly
on the beachfront is Charlie's.

Hello. Hello, mosaics.

Hello, mosaics.

What's your thoughts?

There's a lot to change, isn't
there?

The thing is you come in, right?
Yeah.

And the first thing you see is the
entrance to the toilet.

So, what are you doing? Talk me
through it.

So, fancy doorway, big entrance
moment. Yeah.

All of these lights are being
replaced.

Paul will be redesigning the front
of the cafe

and Banjo - the bar, the mezzanine
at the back,

as well as the DJ booth.

DJ booth, I'm turning it into a DJ
cabana. Yeah.

And then I want to ply that back
wall full of shutters.

So, this is going to be kind of more
relaxed dining.

In their cafe, Fran will be taking
care of the front dining area...

Whoa!

..and Amy has taken on the back
section and the bar.

The back wall of the bar is a bit
terrifying.

Look at that. OK, I will put some
doors on that.

We just don't want to see it.

This is also my little area. I quite
like this for evening.

It actually feels quite nice and
intimate.

But it feels like a cafe run by
boys. What do you think? Perfect.

It's a cafe run by boys being
transformed by a team of girls.

By two girls.

May the men win. May the men win.

The teams have only two days to
complete their designs.

You can't have a Caribbean bar
without coconuts.

SHE GROANS

Don't laugh!

What are we going to...what are we
going to do?

And to transform their cafes into
day and night destinations.

This is my hand-printed,
hand-blocked, designed by me,

Caribbean, tropical, British, French
fusion.

What is this paint? This is Chestnut
Flame.

Maybe this is like the gods of
interior design saying

Chestnut Flame wasn't the way to go.

This is my...

..mad table that's an old cable
drum.

There we go.

Whoa. Whoa!

As always, a team of artisans,
builders, carpenters and painters

will help bring their vision to
life.

Hi, guys. ALL: Morning.

Welcome. We've got a big job.

Hey, guys. Welcome to Charlie's.
ALL: Morning.

So, decorators, we're going to start
with

just getting all the ceilings
painted.

Yep. We're getting rid of all of
these lovely tiles. Yeah.

All need to be covered.

I don't really want to be in
competition with Amy,

but at the same time, I am.

But we're both coming at it as,
"Let's ace this space together."

We're doing a kind of British pub
with a Caribbean twist.

I'm taking the bar area and the
mezzanine and this DJ booth

and Paul... French Caribbean cafe,
welcome.

So... French.

French, don't forget French. Don't
forget French.

That's Paul's. So, shall we get
cracking?

I think Banjo thinks I'm obsessed
with French bistros,

as if that's my lifestyle somehow,

but we were both referencing this
kind of French Caribbean...

..glamour.

We didn't want it to just be a jerk
chicken cafe experience.

We wanted it to be more elevated.

But at the end of the day, it's
Margate and it is a pub,

so you've got to get a fine balance
of the two.

I think Paul is trying to live out,
like, his Parisian fantasy

of designing, like, a French bistro
and, like, I'm so happy for him

and, like, I'll accommodate and I
think that's beautiful,

but nowhere in the brief it said
French.

In his mezzanine area, Banjo has a
vision for his refurbed shutters.

This is my shutter wall, my crowning
glory at the end of the space.

So, when you walk in, you're going
to see this full of shutters.

So, I'm wanting to be place it like
Tetris.

It will be a bit of a fiddly game,

but I'm wanting this whole blue
space to be covered in shutters

in different kind of ways. Yep.

When I thought of the Caribbean

and all these different colourful,
musical places

that are full of history and soul,

all of them kept coming back to
shutters.

With accents of Hague blue on the
walls,

Banjo will give a timeless Caribbean
charm to his zones.

The DJ booth will become a cabana.

The mezzanine will show off his
oversized table,

as well as a shutter feature wall.

Inspired by a rum shack, the bar
will have new storage.

Paul's bespoke fabric will be used
on the banquette window seating

and as a wow factor entrance drape.

French cafe curtains will dress half
of the windows

and an upcycled reception desk will
sit

in front of a wall of Caribbean
photographs.

Rope lighting will sweep through
both of their areas.

This is the light. OK.

So, we've got 15 of these. Yep.

So, essentially, over every table.
OK.

Paul's creating purpose-built light
fittings for the tables,

giving a sense of continuity
throughout the cafe.

We wanted this faded Caribbean
glamour,

punctuated accents between cafe,
bar, mez,

so therefore you anchor the zones.

This is definitely going to be a
winning design.

The creative process with Banjo and
I was really easy.

I don't use the word very often, but
it was really organic.

Neither Banjo or I are about ego,

so it's actually just a really,
really cool design

that works for us both.

Along the seafront, at Charlie's,

Fran is creating an Art Deco feature
wall to disguise the toilet.

Currently, the toilet is the main
feature

as you walk in through the front
door,

so I am going to build a toilet
door

and there's going to be lots of
batons to paint,

lots of MDF shapes to paint.

When you go into a space, you want
to be hit with something like,

"Oh, wow! I've arrived", as opposed
to,

"I'm going to have a wee."

God, they've used enough staples.

And she's on a mission

to reupholster the existing
banquette seating.

I haven't done it before,

but I feel like it's just like
wrapping a Christmas present.

To be honest, the brief was quite
confusing.

They told us not coastal.

Oh, there you go.

If you don't take inspiration from
the seafront,

where are you going to go?

I came up with Art Deco kind of off
the back of Dreamland

and Art Deco being on the coast.

I wanted initially to do, like, a
scalloped effect,

but if I start cutting into it, I
think I could mess it up.

So, I'm thinking I'll cut a channel
in the back, and then along there.

The whole thing is quite
time-consuming. Yeah.

So, it's just whether the gains of
putting the extra detail in...

..are worth it. I've got to.

I can't leave it cos it looks too
'50s diner.

Art Deco motifs will pull together
Fran and Amy's vision

with the space painted in peach,
aqua and red tones -

their tribute to artist JMW Turner.

In Fran's zone, a 1920s feature wall
will hide the toilet and cupboards.

And there will be upholstered
banquette seating

and chairs with bespoke gold studs.

The bar in Amy's section will show
off painted Anaglypta wallpaper

and new stools.

She will transform the forgotten
rear section

into a modern-day speakeasy,

with a vibrant ceiling and
photographs on the wall.

So, I've basically got a door

that I want to use as a bit of a nod
to the speakeasy.

When you would come to the front
door,

they would have small holes in them
to identify people

with a little kind of eye swing.
Yep.

When Fran suggested doing 1920s
Art Deco,

I just immediately thought a
speakeasy

at the back would be so cool

because it's something that draws
your attention.

You know, it's not something
predictable

like an Instagram wall or...

You know, it was a bit more
considered as a space.

Amy's colour scheme is inspired by
Turner's painting,

Sunset Off Margate Pier.

I thought that was a perfect idea

was pick up on the colours from the
painting

and it's more about the aquas that
we have in there,

the kind of sea foam colours.

As well as project managing the bar
and speakeasy,

Amy has taken on the task of
re-covering the tables

throughout the entire cafe.

I'm doing the communal jobs right
now

that are going to elevate the whole
place

rather than focusing on my area.

There's just so much to do.

So, we just need to get it moving,
basically.

Oh, perfect.

Around the corner, Paul is adding
fine detail to his tables.

Cool. Loving your work. All right.

So, plan on track - get all the
woodworking for cafe tables,

shutters, lights done this morning,

and then, essentially, Banjo's got
bigger builds,

so the carpenter should then be able
to jump onto those areas.

Paul. Yeah?

So, with the carpenters... Right.

..I'm just making my own plan.

I want to do all the woodworking
this morning.

OK, I've got, like, my banquette to
do, my shutter wall.

Yeah, you've got a lot more
carpentry...

I've got a table. Yeah, I've got...

..which is why, basically, if I get
mine out the way...

But yours will be all finished, and
then maybe mine won't.

It's literally cafe tables and a
shutter. Yeah. And that's it.

He's got the carpenters doing all of
his stuff first,

but I need stuff done, too.

So, like...

Literally, like, I don't know what
to do.

I've asked him. I said, "Can I
borrow the carpenter?"

And he's like, "Yeah, sure, but let
me just get

"this really complicated thing done
first,

"and if I can finish mine,
then he's all yours."

# When I'm with you, baby
I go out of my head

# And I just can't get enough
And I just can't get enough... #

This takes me back.

Oh, holidayed here in the '80s.

Oh!

Sucking on a strawberry split,
wearing a kiss-me-quick hat,

riding on a donkey.

Oh, the best!

# And I just can't seem to get
enough of... #

Taking off your sandy trunks behind
a towel,

the sea air, the smell of batter.

Kids today haven't lived.

Who needs to go abroad when you've
got Margate?

With the cafes buzzing with
activity,

it's time for me to check in with
the designers.

Fran! Hi, Alan.

Oh, what are you doing?

I am covering my banquettes.

I am dead chuffed that it's come out
so well,

but it's taken me forever.

Why, what's up? It's just taken... I
had to take off all the upholstery.

Oh. And I was like, "It can't take
that long.

"Surely, it's just a bit of
stapling."

No! Like, it is hardcore, but we're
not going home.

It's down to one of the boys.

Oh. Girl power!

Girl power, I love it. Exactly,
yeah.

Which Spice Girl would you be?

I think Scary. I'd say that. Yeah.

Especially with that stapler in
your hand.

All right, well... Which Spice Girl
do you think I'd be?

Baby.

It's hardly going to be Sporty,
is it?

You could've said Posh. Really?

In Olby's basement, the master of
haberdashery reigns supreme

as he musters up a grand entrance
piece

with his bespoke Caribbean fabric...

I am making Cafe Columbia.

When you go into a French bistro,

and this being a French Caribbean
bistro,

you go through the door, curtains
come around the entrance,

and King Street here is really
windy,

so basically they'll be able to
close them.

It keeps the wind off the street.

All right, let's mark these out.

..whilst upstairs, Banjo is having
to negotiate

a mountain of design decisions.

Banjo, do you want the picture hooks
taken down?

Picture hooks gone. Caribbean peach
on the corner there.

Are you vibing it? Yeah. Yes!

There you go Banjo. Yeah, she fits.

So, Banjo, colour-wise, you're going
to go with the white outlines,

red centres, dark blue on the
bottom.

It feels like Paul and I are kind of
riding solo.

Like, I want our whole space to be
perfect, not just mine.

So, I do want us to talk a bit more.

And it's like, "Paging Paul. We have
a space together."

Oh, stunning!

That is gorgeous.

One upholstered bench...

..four to go.

That was easy.

No wonder Paul does lots of
upholstering and fabric.

Hark, I hear a sewing machine.

Oh, here he is. Paul's in his happy
place.

You all right, Alan? How are you
doing?

Yeah, great. Now, what's this
hessian?

This reminded me of coming last in
the sack race on sports day.

It gives me the ick looking at that.

I can feel my psoriasis flaring up.

It's coffee sacking.

So, the idea for me was mixing
Caribbean coffee sacks,

but using it as a French curtain.

So, it's turning it round.

You think French bistro -
sophisticated,

but you use coffee sacking, which is
really quite...

It's such an organic, natural
material.

So, the main challenge for me was
basically

how do you create this entrance
moment

that during the day, you are a cafe,

but then at night, you're a really
cool soul bar?

Oh, it's a bit like me, isn't it?
Exactly.

Boring Alan during the day. At
night...

..Cider-Man.

And then, basically, the lining of
that...

Yeah. Dun, dun, dun!

Oh, hessian on the back. Yeah.

What a twist. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There you go.

Well, I'm off to get an
antihistamine. See you later.

Charlie's owners want to retain
their original chairs,

so all Amy can do is tart each one
up with a pop of black paint.

I would think that tables and chairs
are the most important part

because it actually fills the entire
space.

The rest of the stuff on the walls
and everything's nice to have,

but, like, if they've got nowhere
to sit...

We just need to get these done.

It's also beneficial to both of
us.

It needs to look good as a whole
and not just individual spaces.

You never really necessarily think
that you'll be in the final four,

and then you get here and you're
like,

"Damn right, I want to be in the
semifinal."

It's, like, focus on the goal.

# And the man in the back said,
"Everyone attack"

# And it turned
into a ballroom blitz... #

Three hours left of Day 1.

I like that you're my Debbie McGee.
This is good.

Yeah, thanks, love.

Are you ready?

Yep. Down we go.

Amy has added the exterior to her
extensive workload...

I want to take the sign down to see
what is under it

because it might be quite nice.

If not, we're going to take
the existing sign,

flip it, repaint it and put the new
branding up.

Oh, OK. Hello.

I think we call that a day under
there

and flip them over and put them back
up, right?

I can't believe it's going to
actually take me

a whole day to do these.

Like...

..it's just such a huge amount of
time.

..while Fran's still battling her
banquettes.

Maybe the second one will be
quicker.

I did try to say, "Upholstery is
hellish. Don't do it."

But we all make our own decisions.

And it does look lovely, it's just
is it...

Does it look lovely, and then
there's less done elsewhere?

With time running out, the boys are
having an urgent tete-a-tete.

I'm going to give you the score,
right? Right, OK.

I've got to say. Yep.

Like, I am really nervous about how
much I've got to do, so I'm, like...

..I'm kind of freaking out.

I really need to get the carpenters
this afternoon.

Well, forget the curtain rail.

The shutter wall is practically
done.

Reception counter tomorrow.

Yeah. Have the carpenter for the
rest of the afternoon.

You're a gentleman. I know.

I just... Maybe I just had to plead
for it.

He's all yours, baby. Right, that is
good.

I feel much better about that, so,
like, let's do it. Cool.

Minutes remaining until they have to
down tools,

and although Amy is furiously
working, the girls are miles behind.

This might go well or badly.

OK!

Now we're talking.

Oh, God! He's a bit heavy.

This is like boot camp.

I think I've done a lot of the
communal areas.

I've taken that one for the team, I
guess.

But tomorrow, I need to focus
probably more on my own area

to make sure that it's exactly as I
want it

because I don't want to sacrifice
any of that

for all of our communal jobs.

I wish we had, like, a time machine.

Totally. We could do tomorrow,

and then we could, like, go back a
little bit and do some more.

Rewind. Yeah, that would be good,
but we don't.

I'm conscious I've been
staplegunning all day.

I don't want Amy to feel

the pressure's been on her shoulders
more than mine.

So, tomorrow, I need to step up a
bit more and get more involved.

I think tomorrow will be about
managing our trades.

Basically, it's one space.

It's not my space over your space,
darling.

That's what I want to hear. Yeah,
sweet.

I'm concerned about having lots of
big stuff to do on a second day.

I would've loved that big stuff
to be done today

and do the fluffy stuff tomorrow,

but as it turns out, I've got lots
more to

do than I bargained for on, like,
the last day.

Banjo isn't worrying for no reason.
There is a lot to do tomorrow.

There is a lot to do. It's as simple
as that.

Day 2 at Charlie's, and the girls
are behind schedule.

Where's my drill?
Where's my caffeine?

Fran and Amy have re-divided their
individual zones.

As Amy has taken the lion's share of
the communal space,

Fran's now taking responsibility for
a part of Amy's bar.

They look great.

Amy will be styling the front,
and Fran, the back.

We're going to re-use the existing
lighting

and just reclip it back in.

But it means that the...

..shelving that we're putting in
needs to obviously match

the length of this LED strip light.

Yesterday, I was just stuck doing
that banquette

and it just took me out of the game
a bit,

so, today, I need to keep my eye on
the bigger picture.

Fran doing the back of the bar is
great

because I don't need to worry about
it

and I'm still finishing off the rest
of this stuff that's for both of us.

With one less job to do,

Amy is concentrating on her 1920s
speakeasy partitions,

made from pine doors she rescued
from a bargain bin.

These are amazing.

Yeah, they'll need a couple of coats
to give them a bit of depth.

So, these are the partitions that
will go in between the tables.

So, I basically want to use the
owners

as characters for the speakeasy.

Black and white pictures.

Like, in the old days, you would
have pictures of Frank Sinatra,

so we can kind of differentiate each
area.

Lift all the way up, yeah? Yeah.

She's also designed the bar frontage
to cover the mosaic tiles.

Hi, Amy, love. Hi, Alan.

Oh, my God, are you doing a banner
for me, Alan Carr? Yes.

This is the new signage for outside.

Do you reckon I could have a go?

Yeah, if you pull this side...

That's it. God, this designing's
hard work. I know.

I thought it was just mincing around
with a blooming paintbrush.

Oh, my God, this is so good.

Alan, you've hit a nine, easy.

Nine? Yes, look at that.

I can retire from showbiz.

Now, can I be a bit Debbie Downery.

It depends. What have you got?

It's very daytime, isn't it, this
minty green?

Do you think?

And we're looking for somewhere that
goes daytime into night.

Fran and Amy's colour scheme has
has been inspired

by a Turner painting, which is all
well and good,

but is it a bit too niche for
holiday-makers coming to Margate?

I do wonder whether those vibrant
pastel colours maybe are too much,

especially when you're trying to
create a night-time ambience.

# Hello, darling

# Hello, good looking

# Hello, darling... #

Blue, blue, blue. Yeah.

Blue, blue, blue, blue. Yeah.

Blue, blue, blue.

That and this, all blue.

Blue, blue, blue, blue.

Blue. Does that make sense? Yeah.

At Olby's, Banjo is taking full
advantage of the carpenter's skills

to enhance his section.

In the mezzanine,

he finally gets his maze of shutters
fixed to the wall.

The shutters - just magic.

And it is actually pretty crazy what
you can achieve

with an entire team of skilled
labour.

Paul is adding finishing touches to
his light fittings...

These are basically going to be
fixed to the walls...

..by the electrician, there,

and then basically hang down with
a rattan pendant.

..and working on his reception
counter in the main cafe area.

This actually defines the space.

So, you come through the doors,

you'll have the curtain with the
cafe entrance,

and then immediately in front of
that,

you will have this counter with a
reception area to take bookings.

So, it's obvious from the minute
you walk in,

"Oh, right, I'm in a cafe now."

The plan was it was going to have
plantation shutters on the front,

but we'll have to review progress,
basically.

The priority is today to get the mez
and the bar done.

I love that.

That is gorgeous. Whack her up.

As well as the addition of some
handmade signage,

Banjo installs extra storage for the
bar.

So, I'm cladding it with chicken
wire...

..cos she's a rum shack.

So, that's going to go chicken wire
inside,

and then she'll be full of
coconuts.

I'm seeing progress, so that's good,
and Paul has come to the party.

Like, he really has.

Like, we're communicating more,
we're sharing our trades.

I mean, I'm still doing the
outside

and he's still just doing his little
space but one team, one dream.

Banjo, I've just putting the
finishing touches

on the window signs if you want to
come and check them out?

Ta-da!

You are a magician. I think they're
going to be so chuffed with this.

Cool, I'm glad you like it, man.

# B, A, N, J, O... #

Bingo!

# B, A, N, J, O

# B - he's bonkers

# A - Australian

# N - nice

# J - come and join me

# Ooh! #

Oh, you hit that note.

I did hit that note.

There's dogs out there baying,
coming to the door.

I loved it. Alan on the decks. I
know!

HE MIMICS SPINNING DECKS

Listen, I'm in shutter heaven.

Are they going to open?

Yeah, one... A couple of them open.
Try that one.

Ooh! What's under here?

Maybe it will be like a pop of
colour or some plants spilling out.

It's like a Caribbean advent
calendar, isn't it? Yeah.

Well, I can't sit here chatting,
I've got to drop some fat beats.

Go for it.

Margate, scream!

Woo!

Thanks, Banjo.

# D-I-S-C-O

# D-I-S-C-O

# D-I-S-C-O

# Ooh! #

Still so much to do.

I think we're, like, past the point
of doing custom...

..like, shelving for bars.

So, let's just do a square shelf.

Yeah. Yeah?

Still running behind time,

Fran and Amy are forced to
compromise their original designs.

The bar is now turning into a bit of
a drama.

We've just got no time, so we need
to just think on our feet.

I think we're doing the smart thing
and just ditching jobs.

I think we're both concerned about
all of it.

I think it's hard not to be.

I want the big main bits done
and I feel like that's the focus.

# Ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi... #

Meanwhile at the boys',

Paul is mounting his curated
collection of Caribbean images...

Club Tropicana, Dramarama.

I feel like I'm making an entry in
a ball gown.

..and unveiling his big showpiece...

Part of the brief was that they
wanted to get

that passing Turner crowd.

Well, they'll all want to come in
here.

That's just genius, isn't it?

Release the board.

That's it. Yep, got it.

..as Banjo frees up the concealed
mezzanine window.

This has been boarded up for years

and this has got to be a daytime
cafe, so I need that gone.

Let there be light.

I can imagine coming up here, light
streaming in, jerk roast...

Yum.

Here he is.

For a minute, I thought you were
holding up a ra-ra skirt.

It doubles up, it doubles up.

I'll take it down and we can both
have a go. I've got two.

You can even use your maracas.

Oh, look at these!

Well, it's the whole... You know,
the whole...

I'm like Bez from Happy Mondays.

"All right, all right."

Cos that's the look you wanted,
Bez from Happy Mondays.

It is. I was thinking Bez, yeah.

Not Havana, not Cuba.

This is you, isn't it? Yeah.
Dressing everything up,

making it all look lovely and pretty
and everything. Yeah.

You've had problems in the past
where you weren't completed.

Are you going to be ready?

Well, do you know what, Alan?

I'm going to invite you for a rum
and coke

and I'll tell you when I'm done.

You're getting cocky. You better be
finished in time.

I will be, I will.

Less than two hours remaining.

I'll block you out where I'm going
to do.

As Amy oversees the Art Deco
detailing to the front of the bar,

Fran is puzzle-solving at the rear.

I have run out of time to do the
back bar as we had hoped.

So, now I'm just freestyling
somewhat.

Just whacking up this vinyl,

and then I'm going to put up the
existing shelves,

which I gleefully took down.

The back of bar has been left a bit
to the last minute.

I want to help but I'll just try and
get through all my jobs first

to make my space look OK, and then
I can go back.

We are in a competition.

I love Fran and we're good friends
and we work well together,

but I'm not going to sacrifice my
own area

over stuff that Fran's not factored
in.

Because, like, we're down to the
final four,

and I don't want to be the one that
goes this week.

I need to finish my space.

I'll whack a coat of paint on it,
but...

..I just don't know what else I can
do, really.

I've got to just focus on just
dressing my space a bit,

cos at the moment, it's a complete
disaster zone,

and I'll have to come back to the
bar.

Like, I just don't have the time.

Paging Paul Alfred Andrews.

Paul Alfred Andrews.

Oh, that would be me. One hour to
go. Get a wriggle on.

Absolutely, darling.

It's a race against time as both
teams work flat out

for a place in the semifinal.

Up against it. It's just trying
to work out...

..what goes where.

I can see the ocean, and literally
I can just get my drink.

Wrong door.

Almost like where it is now,
I think.

Up a bit. I mean, it will have to go
higher.

No! It hasn't smashed, has it?

Just a little crack.

That's my favourite thing.

Nothing else is finished, but at
least the banquette looks good.

Are we overachievers?

I think we might be.

I might just get you to do
partitions

and hang these bits in mine.

At Charlie's, with Amy's full
attention now on her own section,

Fran's frustration is mounting.

I've done that, I've done that.

I've done my bit. I think she's
got to do the curtain now.

I have got a cafe that's nowhere
near finished.

I need to get my mirrors up.

So, I've painted that. I'm out.

Worried about the bar, dude.

We've got to get that curtain up
to hide this cupboard.

I've done the marbling and I've done
the painting.

If you can sort out the curtain
section.

It's not mine, Fran. I've done the
front, babes.

I said I'd take care of the back bar
bit. Yeah, that's the back.

Yeah, but I can't...I can't...

I know, babes, but literally I've
done all communal jobs for two days.

I've done all the tables, I've done
all the chairs.

I vinyled all the chairs at home.

Like, I need to obviously just get
my own bit...

OK, well, I don't have time to do
it. OK, cool. We'll just leave it.

I just don't like,

"This was yours and you were
supposed to do it like that."

I just feel like we're supposed
to be in it together

and when you're like, "Well, I've
done all the tables,"

I'm sorry, but I was doing the
banquette.

I couldn't not do it, and if this
was your area,

you would've had to do the same.
I just...

Did Fran brief you on anything

that was happening with the
curtains?

No. Well, come back and help.
Cool.

We just need to basically work
double the speed.

I've got to move on cos that's
the only option. Shall we chat?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

No, I didn't mean to...I didn't mean
to, like... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too. I didn't mean to
snap

and I didn't mean to say anything...

Why don't we just regroup and do the
curtains together right this minute?

Right this minute, come on. OK.

This looks amazing. It's so
beautiful.

Feels total daytime. This feels
night-time.

Like, we've done an amazing job.

Stop for ten seconds. We've done an
amazing job, OK?

Just, I'm sorry if I've BLEEP up on
the bar.

You didn't and I'm sorry... I
thought I just had to do that bit.

I didn't realise I had to do that
bit, too.

We're doing it together now.
We're doing it together now, OK?

# Yeah, yeah, yeah
You can send a forget-me-not

# Yeah, yeah, yeah

# But I'll still reach up
to the top... #

Oh, Banjo. Oh, I'm gagging for a
drink.

Oh, have we got a fixture?

This is my elephant ear.

# To the left, to the right

# Keep it goin', keep it goin'
It's all right

# To the left, to the right

# Step it up, step it up
It's all right

# It's all right,
it's all right... #

Stunning.

Fantastic. We did it!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh.

Darling. Make it a double, Eli.

Ready to cast their professional eye
over the restaurants - the judges.

First time for both of us in
Margate, then.

Helping Michelle this week is retail
space entrepreneur Ross Bailey,

responsible for a growing number
of pop-up cafes

under the umbrella of his global
business, Appear Here.

So, here we are in Margate.

Two cafes to look at and you'd think
that would be quite straightforward,

but you've got a lot of very
different customers here

cos you've got the cool crowd going
for the art,

you've the locals, and then you've
got the day-trippers.

My view is, think about who your
crowd is,

create something for those
individuals.

What I really want to see is those
little bits of detail,

the thing that feels like it's
speaking to you,

the little obsession over every
inch so that it comes together.

Cos in a way, kind of the colour of
a cafe is the people that come there

and everything else just has to be

really, really well thought through
and considered.

The boys' cafe is first up to be
judged.

Every single note on that brief...

..is basically articulated from the
outside, through to the windows,

entrance, cafe, bar, mez, DJ.

Done.

You want them to feel the passion
that I felt doing this.

I'm sure they will, but you just
don't know.

It's honestly everything and a
little bit more.

I can hear the coconuts swaying in
the breeze, the sun on my skin.

It's beautiful.

Like, I'm really chuffed with it.

My heart and soul is in this place
100%,

so I will fight for it.

MICHELLE: It was a very just mundane
navy blue,

and now that pingy sky blue, loving
it.

Oh, I love those signs. Love the
signs.

It makes you want to go in, doesn't
it? Totally.

Ooh!

First impressions, I love how that
sky blue on the outside draws you in

and there's little pops of it around
the space,

so I'm feeling warm, convivial.

Yeah, do you know what, Michelle?

I feel they've really thought about
as well the journey.

Like, you've got the curtains, you
open them up.

You've got this piece sat here

where you know that someone's about
to greet you.

And then the little touches like
the shutters are beautiful.

It feels very cohesive, doesn't it?

I think the way that they've done
the little lights in each corner,

I think this could work really well
in the evening.

The owners of this place are
Jamaican. I'm half-Jamaican,

and you certainly instantly get a
feel of being in the Caribbean.

There are the elements like the
print

where I don't get that same
connection.

It feels a little bit that it's been
just placed in.

I struggle a little bit with the
fabric, but...

..I mean, I'm very pleased not to
see something

with sort of parrots and pineapples
all over it

but it's a slightly different
language to me.

It doesn't scream out Caribbean
to me.

Well, I feel compelled to go up and
see what's going on there

cos that feels like a sort of prize
table.

That just fits perfectly in a space
like this.

There are so many glorious details
to dive into here,

like mismatched raffia shades over
the table,

which looks like it's reclaimed
planks.

So, the decor bit, getting lots of
big ticks from me.

But this place started off with
fantastic bone structure

and it was a gift, really, but it's
also about that story.

I mean, we haven't seen a portrait
of the owners here.

Yeah, they've done so much well,

it makes elements like the vinyl
images on the walls,

in my view, seem lazy.

It's just generic pictures.

Yeah, that's a bit of a shame,
isn't it?

Now, this is clever. I mean, they've
repeated from this up there,

where they've just snuck in a little
shelf to eat at.

I mean, I'd love to sit there.

But I think I'm going to sit here.

But I think, Michelle, with what
they have done,

like that little table there, like
the seats here,

it feels like they've sat in every
single chair

and they've really made every area a
little moment

and I think that's the bit that
makes it just seem so professional.

But it's also, you know...

Not only have they decided to put a
plant there,

but they've made a little box for
it,

so I'm not actually looking at the
plant pot. Yeah.

I mean, I think that's the level of
detail

that at this stage of the
competition

I really am looking for. Yeah.

At Charlie's, the girls are adding
their final flourishes.

I hope they like it.

I hope they get an overall feel for
the place

and see that it's a cohesive space

and that we've used colours bravely,
but also in a good way.

I so desperately want to be a
semifinalist.

I don't want it to finish.

I think the owners are going to love
it.

I think they're going to be well
shocked

because it's not what they're
expecting, is it?

I think we hit the brief.

I think we hit the brief.

I do love the colour. A pop of
colour. I like it with the black.

It feels quite sophis for a caf.

Yeah, this little element works
outside.

Oh, gosh.

It's quite a juicy burst of flavour

coming straight at you from this
one.

It's a massive transformation. It
definitely feels very fresh.

They started off with a difficult,
difficult space

and this is certainly...

..a transformation.

And when you saw what was in this
area before

and how they've come up with a
creative way to cover that up,

they've certainly put their
imagination to the test.

This, I love. That's clever. That
really works.

We've screened off the loo.

I would love to have seen some
writing or graphics

or something on there.

We know that they had a challenging
design brief.

Having to keep things like the
chairs make it much harder.

Though I feel like what they've
designed is then sort of...

..pretended the chairs weren't
there

versus going, "How do these things
that we've got to deal with

"become part of the design?"

They've darkened the legs, which I
think really helps elevate them

to a bit more sophisticated.

But then to have paired them with
these colours.

Yep. And I'm just going to come out
and say it,

I really dislike this kind of cheap
gold colour and...

..this pink. Yeah.

There's a mismatch there, which is
like, urgh.

We do slightly begrudge having those
there.

We spoke about detail,

and to me, when you go into it,

you can see that just the way that
it's been covered,

the way that the curtains have been
put up,

just these little elements, it just
doesn't feel finished.

Trying to give them the biggest
benefit of the doubt,

their client didn't want them to
paint the tables,

but why go fake marble?

Let's just go with something
completely different

cos these are never going to be
marble tables.

But you know what? The thermometer
behind you

and the kind of weather gauge,

I love that colour wood against the
Tiffany walls.

That feels real and authentic and of
the owners as well.

Shall we back up a bit and check out
the bar?

Let's have a look.

Cos I like this as a design feature.

I do like a good bar, where you can
sort of sit.

I feels a little bit more kind of...

Oh, my word.

..casual, but I normally prefer to
be a bit higher

when I'm at the bar. I feel like
I'm, like, a child at my kind of...

It doesn't feel like they've sat in
the spaces. No.

But I wonder how they've made that
back space

into somewhere that's interesting.

Let's go have a look.

Well, it very much continues the
theme.

We've spoken a lot before

about bringing in the owners and
that story.

I think you can see that they've
tried to do that here

with the pictures.

We've got a lot of very different
languages going on

from the table decor to the
lighting,

but I can really feel how much hard
work has gone into this.

Yeah, the effort.

I think we've got a lot of questions
to think about.

Yeah, lots to think about.

Whilst the designers head to the
Brighton studio,

the owners get a first look at their
reimagined spaces.

I think it looks beautiful. Very
nice.

I like the front of the bar, too.

I think our locals will love it.

I think they'll love it. Finally got
rid of the...

Mosaic tiles, we got rid of all
those.

Chin-chin.

Cheers. Cheers!

Very nice. Very nice.

Unaccustomed as I am.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

HE LAUGHS

God.

Wow.

Oh, my God.

It's beautiful. It's absolutely
beautiful.

I love it.

They've made a really special place
even more special.

It's really nice.

There is a career-altering contract
at stake

as the designers return to
Michelle's studio

to discover their fate.

I've got endless amounts of fight
left.

I've thrown new things at it every
week,

and hopefully Michelle can see the
growth in me.

I hope that between the two of us,
we've done enough,

cos I don't want Amy to go home

and I don't think she wants me to go
home.

The final's still a whole other
space away.

I can smell it,
but I can't taste it.

I couldn't have worked harder,

and, personally, I've smashed it,
so that's good enough for me.

So, we billed it as a battle of
the sexes.

Did the girls do you proud?

Well, you know what?

Amy and Fran have blazed an amazing
trail through this competition.

I was really hoping I'd see
something kind of incredible

when these two minds came
together... Yeah.

..but it was a little confused,
really.

Although it did have a very
coherent feel.

It didn't have the same amazing
bones that Banjo and Paul's did,

so I felt they were sort of on the
back foot before they started.

The walk through to the toilets,
they managed to actually get rid of.

It did take some imagination,

but I think the colours and the
detailing was lacking.

On to Banjo and Paul.

There was a lot of influences in
there. Did it work?

It felt that they thought about the
person going in there. Yeah.

I loved the old shutters, the
chicken wire

and those things instantly took me
back to the Caribbean.

The curtains in the window connect
maybe more to something you'd see

in a Parisian cafe.

It's about that interpretation of
the brief, cos like you said,

some bits felt a bit is this now
French or is this Jamaican?

And I think you have to decide and
stick with it, really.

Yeah, one person's got to go home
today.

I know, and they've worked so hard.

WHISPERS: Oh, gosh.

Hello. Hey. Hi, Alan.

Michelle decided that

as you are fighting for a place in
the semifinals,

she'd like to see all four of you on
the sofa.

Best of luck. ALL: Thanks, Alan.

How nice to see you all again.
Hello.

So, you should all really
congratulate yourselves

on fantastic transformations.

Both owners were just thrilled.

Banjo and Paul, the concept of the
reclaimed shutters,

where was that from?

That was me. I wanted to inject a
bit of texture and patina in there.

The round table at the mezzanine.

I sourced that and it was an old
cable reel drum from Highways...

Oh, wow. ..and it was cut down to
fit.

We loved the mezzanine area and the
bar area.

It really captured...

..the essence of the brief

and that was very clearly driven
by you, Banjo.

So, congratulations, you are through
to the semifinals.

Oh, thank you. Yay, it was brilliant
Banjo. It was brilliant.

So, well done, you can go and relax.

Thank you. Good luck, guys. Well
done. It was brilliant. Thank you.

I'm really excited that they loved
the spaces that I created.

Being on the sofa, like, brings you
back down to earth

but, like, I'm riding high now.

I'm so chuffed they loved it.

Paul, tell me a bit more about the
fabric choice.

It was actually inspired by a
textile print

by Josef Frank from 1936

and it allowed us to introduce the
colour palette.

The hessian curtains were lovely
and textural,

but I do think of those as French
bistro.

It was French Caribbean,

so this idea of the Caribbean being
this kind of, like, faded glamour.

I could see what you were doing
with the curtains

to bring that intimacy.

But, you know, the owners are
Jamaican... Yes.

..and the Caribbean is a big place,
right? Yeah.

And it's sort of like someone being
British

and creating a French cafe, they're
very different cultures.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I...

Yeah, I didn't really think of it as
being interpreted as French.

These clients were kind of pivotal
members of the Margate community.

Yes, yeah. But we didn't see any
pictures of them.

So, we were both a little confused
by the photo library posters

chosen to go on the wall. Yeah, yes.

Those images were coffee shops in
Barbados and...

But they're generic. Yes, they are.
Anyone could get those. Yes.

This idea of understanding a theme.

It's so fascinating because both
Fran and Amy,

this is where you both stumbled last
week.

I mean, my goodness,

you had a restaurant full of cliches
and tiles,

so a lot to deal with.

But, Amy, there's not a single
Turner painting that I've ever seen

that has the colours that appeared
in your restaurant.

There's a sunset at Margate
painting

which is predominantly mustards and
marigolds and browns,

and then it has hints of peaches
and corals and mints and a teal.

And I took that as a starting point.

The brilliance of Turner is his
balance of colours,

but your colour palette was full-on.

I really wanted to be bold and I
took to heart your advice last week.

You know, we don't need more
wallpaper.

And that's a massive jumping off
point for me normally,

so I started from a reference to a
painting.

I think I was just really keen to
make the space fun and exciting.

You had such a tough job, didn't
you? So rough. A nightmare.

I mean, you had to get rid of all
that awful mosaic.

It was an uphill struggle.

In terms of transformation, it
was out of this world.

I think outside, the colouring,

I think, is very what you're seeing
in East London right now.

The simplicity of the font, I like
that.

It is all about how it feels,

and then you could've started
with a Turner painting,

you could've started with '20s,

but what you then did with both of
those things, it didn't work.

It was saccharine.

And then you chose faux marble for
the table tops.

Why faux marble?

We just wanted to cover them with
something and we couldn't paint them

and the budget wouldn't allow us
to get... But why faux marble?

It felt quite luxury, the faux
marble.

Faux marble, plastic?

Really?

Maybe if you squint, Michelle.

Let's talk about the sort of '20s
theme.

I took Art Deco and wanted to
present it

in quite a contemporary way, so it
wasn't obvious,

but I felt like it was elegant, it
was homely.

It feels like a comfortable
environment

that you could sit from the day into
the evening.

I think it's really hard

when you've got a brief that works
for everyone.

But I think the job of the designer
is to find what is that commonality.

Yeah. And I think probably the theme
of Art Deco wasn't that.

Yeah, yeah. I'm giving you the
massive ticks for all the...

You sorted out the loos, all of that
stuff. Brilliant.

But at this level, when I hear you
kind of say,

"Well, we had to cover it with
something,"

that's not enough.

What about the bar, then?

Did it get a bit forgotten cos the
front was nice but...?

Yeah, it got forgotten.

We ran out of time a bit for a few
things, but...

The banquette seating took me 100
years,

and then suddenly we're like,
"Argh, the bar!"

The stools, if you'd have tried
sitting in them,

you were about halfway up the bar,

so you actually couldn't see over
it.

It just felt like no-one had thought
about the customer.

It is the details that make the
difference.

But, Paul, I'm going to let you off
the hook straight away, OK?

You did enough. Thank you.

You will be the second person going
through to the semifinals.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

So, Fran and Amy...

..which one of you should go?

Fran, why do you think you should go
through?

I feel like every challenge I can
just get a little bit better and...

Sorry.

Like, I just want to be able to...

..make a difference to the spaces
that I'm walking into.

And, yeah, I tried my best in
Margate and I know we both did.

I know we both did.

Amy, why should you go through to
the semifinals?

It genuinely means so much.

I think I've come from having had no
confidence to start with.

I'm just desperate to stay and show
how much more I can do,

because I think with each challenge,
I'm growing.

I think with each challenge, I'm
developing.

I'm really, really, really torn.

Fran, you had some big problems
to overcome,

but you really messed up on the back
bar.

Amy, you made that front bar look
really good,

but did not like the colours. They
didn't come from Turner.

And...

..and it's... Oh, God!

If that's where you're at, and I'll
probably regret saying it,

Amy chose the colours with me.

We chose the marble together.

I didn't finish the bar.

I don't think it should be...

It is.

We just worked the best we could in
that space together

and we supported each other this
week.

Amy, you've blossomed and you've
flourished.

You both have, but for...

..just that sliver more, I'm going
to give you the shot

to go through to the semifinal.

But by saying that, Fran, you've
also done an amazing journey,

but I think that bar was really
crucial,

to have just left that back bit...

Yeah, totally. That's...that's
totally fair.

I love you. I love you. You're
amazing, OK? Go and smash it.

I didn't finish the bar, and at the
end of the day,

at this level, you've got to finish
things.

And I can hold my head up high and
know that I did the right thing.

What a roller-coaster...

..and back to real life.

Fran is just a one of a kind

and to feel like she would want to
defend me was incredible.

We did make a lot of the decisions
together.

She's just, like, a remarkable
human. I'll miss her.

That was incredibly hard because
Fran has shown me

some really creative design thinking
through this competition,

but this week, she was just pipped
at the post by Amy.

Next time...

Oh, I love it.

..the competition is hotting up...

No pressure.

..as the designers hit the
Cotswolds.

Oh!

With a place in the final at
stake...

I'm nervous. I didn't come here to
play.

..it won't be all plain sailing.

There's no time. We have like 50
minutes!
