First broadcast: on BBC One North East & CumbriaLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Northern Ireland (Analogue)

Series in which candidates compete for the position of apprentice to multi-millionaire Alan Sugar. Sir Alan sets the teams the task of manufacturing sweets to sell at one of the country’s top tourist attractions – London Zoo. Their target market are the toughest consumers in the world: parents and children. It’s Ghazal and Adam’s first turn as team leaders, and they and their budding Willy Wonkas must decide if their sweets should appeal to health conscious parents or sugar crazed kids. Then the teams must do something special to stand out against the Zoo’s star attractions – the monkeys, lions and tigers.

With over 3000 potential customers the teams adopt unique selling approaches – from the charm offensive to the hard sell. But when one team tries to stretch the truth it lands them in trouble. In the boardroom, Sugar is not so sweet to the losing team – and one of them is about to get fired. Show less
