by Peter Terson
The National Youth Theatre production of "The Apprentices"

This television adaptation has the same cast as the theatre production which was highly praised:
"A worthy successor (to 'Zigger Zagger') combining immense theatrical vigour with a wholly credible picture of life among the working-class young" (The Times)
"It has some vivid and often wildly funny dialogue and an outstanding performance by twenty-year-old Barrie Rutter" (Daily Mirror)
"The genuine tang of Now... they come at you fresh, authentic, and surprising, like a head-on collision with the actual world... it should be the most popular show the National Youth Theatre has ever done" (Daily Mail)
