Since it first hit our screens in 2005, The Apprentice has blossomed from a gripping business contest into a much-loved television institution. The drama of the gruelling tasks and nail-biting boardroom showdowns has earned it an enormous and loyal following and a host of awards, including a BAFTA. The show made iconic personalities of its cast, not just Lord Sugar but Margaret Mountford and Nick Hewer. Then there have been the memorable candidates themselves who have ranged from the brilliant to the barmy. The most enduringly popular and respected reality show of them all, it is a glittering success story. Written by the author of the smash-hit bestsellers Sir Alan Sugar: The Biography and Lord Sugar: The Man Who Revolutionised British Buisness, this is a must-read for any fan of The Apprentice. You won’t get hired without it!
