The Apprentice is a British reality game show in which a group of aspiring businessmen and women compete for the chance to win a £250,000 investment from British business magnate, Alan Sugar, towards a business of the candidate's creation, with Sugar as a 50% owner. Between series one to six, the prize was originally a £100,000-a-year job as an "apprentice" to Sugar, and winners went on to work at Amstrad, an electronics manufacturing company founded by Sugar (but since sold to BSkyB), or one of Sugar's other companies, Viglen,Amsprop or Amshold. The show, billed as a "job interview from hell", is very similar in format to the American series of the same name, which starred entrepreneur Donald Trump. Both the American and British versions of The Apprentice are produced by Mark Burnett.
Both the first and second series aired on BBC Two in 2005 and 2006 respectively, before the third series was aired on BBC One in early 2007, the success of which led the BBC to commission two more series. The fourth series began in March 2008, and the fifth series in March 2009. These were then followed by the sixth series in October 2010, the seventh series in May 2011, the eighth series in March 2012, the ninth series in May 2013, the tenth series in October 2014, and eleventh series in October 2015. A twelfth series has been commissioned to air in 2016.

Genres: ,She was all the stars in a velvet sea
A gem of perfection she seemed to me
Skin like silk and a rose red smile
All grace when I brought her tea
And her laughter cut through my girlish dream
"Don't you know that we're all silk and cream
And roses and velvet and gems and stars?
You must be more than what you seem."
One night I stole into her garden
And I overheard her sigh...
"You don't have to be wild to want to run
Look at the roses and you'll see
See them climbing ever higher toward the sun
These garden walls are not for me."
I had come so young to the Twilight School
Quiet and shy and a bit of a fool
A hopeless handmaid, so awkward and awed
Until she saw an uncut jewel
She taught me all the Companion's art
Beauty and charm and the skills to set ourselves apart
We were teacher and student, we were friend and friend
And we were sisters of the heart
Sharing afternoon tea in her garden
She would gaze up at the sky...
"You don't have to be wild to want to run
Look at the ring-doves and you'll see
See them stretching their clipped wings out toward the
This pretty cage is not for me."
She could see her path laid out in flowers and in stone
Priestess, Lady, Head of House, and nothing left
unknown
She whispered to her teacup that it chilled her to the
bone
"When others look to you to make their choices
You no longer make your own..."
Now my clients say there's no lady as fine
The skill and the charm and the garden are mine
But I walk outside the gate at night
And see the stars and planets shine
They say she's done battle, they say she fell in love
They say she near died in that endless sky above
And all of her lessons I took to heart
Even that of the rose and the dove
She taught me to look beyond the garden
And she never said goodbye...
You don't have to be wild to want to run
Look at the river and you'll see
See it leap and dance away, laughing in the sun
