The BAFTA award-winning business show, The Apprentice, fronted by business tycoon Lord Sugar alongside his trusted advisors Baroness Karren Brady and Tim Campbell MBE, returns for its 20th series.



To celebrate the 20th series, there will be 20 candidates looking to impress Lord Sugar and secure his £250,000 investment in their business plan. And for the first time ever, Lord Sugar’s boardroom will move to Hong Kong in the first episode, after the 20 candidates complete a task in one of the world’s most vibrant trading hubs.



The series starts with a bang as Lord Sugar’s business hopefuls jet off to Hong Kong on a mission to secure nine items at knock-down prices. The teams must juggle unknown geography, tight deadlines and business basics. Lord Sugar has a few surprises in store, and in the end, there are fireworks, and firings, in the boardroom.
