Private Notes
Luke, Jade and Callum are stuck in a rut and in need of a cash injection. In a bid to kick-start their lives and earn some serious money, they have signed up to work as deck-hands on a rock lobster fishing boat on the west coast of Australia. It's back-breaking, repetitive and dangerous work, under a scorching sun in treacherous seas, but there is one major perk - money. A seasoned deckie here can earn $1,000 a day - but will the newbies make it to payday or will the 2am starts, the long hours and the inevitable seasickness send them screaming back to the UK?
Trawler fishing in the Arctic Circle is gruelling, back-breaking, smelly work, but the job comes with one major bonus - paydays. One fisherman on board earned £75,000 in just six months. But can Jess, Carl and Jamie make it to payday, or will gutting fish round the clock, in freezing conditions, for weeks on end send them screaming back to the UK?
Three British youngsters looking to make some money sign up for a week of high-rise window cleaning in Canada, where they scale some of Toronto's tallest skyscrapers. However, the trio taking part in the challenge - Stephen, Dom and Darcie - must conquer their fears to make it to payday, while being faced with perching on a wooden plank suspended a long way from ground.
Three young Brits desperate to sort out their lives and their bank balances sign up for cattle ranching in the wilds of the Australian outback.
But how will Daisy, Sian and Laurence cope with working 14-hour days in the searing Aussie sun, herding thousands of cattle over stations the size of Wales? Will they make it to payday or will the sweltering heat, swarms of flies and angry cows send them stampeding back to the UK?
Three young Brits desperate to sort out their lives and their bank balances sign up for a month working in the wool sheds of New Zealand. Shearing sheep that weigh in at up to 80kg is relentless, backbreaking work, but can Tomi, Jack and Gemma make it through to pay day? Or will the long hours and sweltering conditions send them bleating back to the UK?
Three young Brits desperate to sort out their finances and get their lives back on track sign up to work planting thousands of trees in the vast Canadian wilderness. Despite the bugs, bears and extremes of hot and cold, a top tree-planter will put a tree in the ground every four seconds, for hours on end. Many just end up in tears. It's back-breaking, repetitive work in appalling conditions, but can Kieran, Shannon and Danny make it through to payday or will this soul-destroying job send them crying back to the UK?
