The Apprentice Best Bits

Thursday, 9pm, BBC One

A light-hearted look back at 15 years of the business challenge, beginning with some of the most unforgettable candidates. These are the wheeler-dealers, the walking egos, the sharp-suited entrepreneurs and the jokers who make the show what it is - from the sales patter of Paul back in series one and tenacious Ruth Badger 12 months later, right up to the barrow-boy banter of Thomas last year. Narrated by Tom Allen.


First Dates

Thursday, 10pm, Channel 4

Maître D' Fred Sirieix and his team fling open the doors of the restaurant of romance once more, and first in is self-confessed party animal Nikita - a 24-year-old from Swansea who's hunting for someone just as wild. However, she gets a little more than she bargained for when engineer Rhys reveals a rather intimate tattoo. Part-time fitness instructor and disco dancer Selvin meets Donna, who seeks a man who can make her laugh. Former Playboy bunny Kelly-Ann is a model who's dated some A-list stars in her time and wants `a daring man" to keep her feeling alive. Will tattooed motorbike daredevil Stephen tickle her fancy?


The Graham Norton Show

Friday, 10:45pm, BBC One

The host returns with a stellar line-up of guests in a show that sees him joined by esteemed actor Rupert Everett, comedian and actress Lolly Adefope and stand-up comedian and writer Sara Pascoe in the studio, and music legend Dolly Parton and Emmy-winning British star Riz Ahmed remotely.
