Fred's Last Resort - Season 1

Fred's young recruits arrive in the south of France with sun, sea and... more on their minds. But before they can get the sun cream out, Fred asks them to serve a gourmet meal to 30 VIPs.

Fred sends his young hopefuls to Provence to learn about some of the hotel's top-end suppliers, and they must use what they have learned to organise an evening of fine dining.

The recruits are tasked with transforming the hotel's pétanque court into an events space suitable for hosting one of the region's leading fashion designers.

The competitors organise personalised luxury excursions for VIP guests on the French Riviera, laying on special activities specifically suited to their guests' needs.

Fred's remaining recruits' organisational skills are tested to the max as a group of unusual VIPs descend upon the hotel for a photoshoot for a luxury dog fashion brand. With some highly unpredictable four-legged supermodels on their hands - as well as some rather demanding owners - how will the young Brits cope with ensuring everyone's in the right place at the right time?

The recruits are all at sea as Fred sends them aboard a superyacht to deliver a fine dining experience to a group of very discerning guests. It's a glorious Mediterranean adventure - or at least it's meant to be. But the last time the recruits served a three-course meal, on the first day of the competition, it was a complete disaster. So how will they cope with repeating the task on the waves of the Med? Fred's on deck keeping his eagle eye out to see who really deserves to stay in the competition - and who deserves to walk the plank...

The recruits are one step away from the final, and must throw a lavish engagement party. But some avian guests prove more difficult to look after than the VIPs...

It's the final, and Fred has the unenviable task of interviewing the remaining recruits before deciding who most deserves the cash prize and a huge job offer
