BBC One - Call That Hard Work?, Series 1, Episode 7

Featuring a plumber, a tour guide and a dog groomer.

A plumber, a tour guide and a dog groomer swap jobs to see which is hardest. Who will walk away with the £1000 prize?

Three people who are passionate and proud of what they do for a living compete to see whose job is the hardest. For three days they immerse themselves in one another’s jobs, scoring them on three criteria: working conditions, mental demands and physical demands. The person with the highest score and therefore the toughest job walks away with a prize of £1,000.

Today, plumber Zack, bus tour guide Joe and dog groomer Sophie go head to head in a bid to prove their job is the hardest.
