The Apprentice has been a long road from where it started. And yet it’s been fun all the way. And in the Apprentice final we had Jim Eastman, Tom Pellereau, Susan Ma and Helen Milligan. Before the final even began it was clear that Jim was a great salesman, Helen was a fantastic organiser, Susan [...]

The latest task is in the £14billion beauty treatments industry. The candidates get to see a range of treatments and then choose two they would like to provide to the poor old unsuspecting paying punter. Lord Sugar hastily points out that they will receive professional training – hears hoping they take it all in! The [...]

The Savoy Hotel has been closed for 3 years and “need” 10 items before they open and the candidates are asked to get them. And as the task is about negotiation the winner is the team that comes back having paid the least for the items. And of course there are penalties for not getting [...]

So the candidates are woken at stupid o’clock to be told about their next task: developing a new mobile phone app. They have 2 days to design, launch and promote the new mobile app. And the winner is the one with the most downloads in 24 hours. Unfortunately the boys “appsolutely” can’t resist making lots [...]

Lord Sugar points out that unlike a load of moaners out there anyone can do business, although it needs to be something you can deliver to your customers. Task 1: £250 start-up business The first task is to take £250, buy some produce, “add value” and sell to the unsuspecting public. And guess what Lord [...]

The apprentice sell some sausages. I mean how hard can that be. Well, obviously major trauma is involved and one of them gets fired!

Meet the Apprentice gaggle in series 6. A motley bunch as usual, promising exciting and exasperating TV.

Junior apprentices fly to Amsterrdam, insult some designers and then try to hawk their products to Libertys and House of Fraser with mixed results. Who goes and was the firing right? See what you think…

Tim gets to demonstrate his project management skills, or does he?

Junior Apprentice cheese sellers aren’t to be sniffed at. Unless they unload their cheese at less than cost price.

The apprentices try to rebrand Margate as a resorts for families or gays. Which one wins is down to poor management. Does the right person get fired? See what this post suggests.

The Apprentices pick 2 items and sell their socks off in Manchester and Liverpool, or do they?

have you ever wondered what traits you need to be an Apprentice candidate? Wonder no more, check these out…

Yes, those canny Apprentices completely fail to get the point of the task. Which is to value the 10 items and then sell them at better than the value where possible.

The Apprentices create Pants Man and Captain Squawk to frighten advertisers everywhere. How the Apprentices cope with time is wonderful to watch.

Apprentice candidate Ben gets in a lather about why he shouldn’t be in the boardroom.

The Apprentices create te Bingo Buster and The Bum Ball – with names like that who will order them?
