Volunteers test their skills against some of the jobs in Britain's low-wage sector. Just six workers remain. This time, they are working in manufacturing.

It is over halfway through the experiment and now just six workers remain. This time, they are working in manufacturing - a sector that has been in decline in the UK but is showing signs of a revival.

While the workers get to grips with the levels of skill demanded of them - and all for the minimum wage - Anita Rani is finding out why Britain's productivity lags so far behind other G7 nations and whether we want more manufacturing jobs here at all.
