The Apprentice: 5 important lessons we've learned from the fishy first episode
AUTUMN'S here and as the UK bids farewell to the scorching – ok, luke-warm at best - summer, it’s time to welcome back The Apprentice.
Five teasers you need to know ahead of The Apprentice
Lord Alan Sugar returns with Karren Brady and his new aide Claude Littner to whittle down 18 aspiring business men and women down to just one, with hopes to make the Amstrad mogul even more cash.
Suffice to say, this year’s pack are a typically bonkers bunch and will no doubt provide heaps of entertainment in place of the Great British Bake Off every Wednesday night.
But what can you expect from the first episode of The Apprentice? Check out five teasers below:
There will only ever be one Sugababes
Would you join team The Sugar Babes?
One candidate puts forward The Sugar Babes as genuine suggestion for a team name. While the Sugababes have taken may guises throughout the years; a team of pumped up budding entrepreneurs is not and never will be one of them, thankfully.
Claude Littner is terrifying. But really terrifying.

Claude Littner is genuinely the scariest man to ever grace The Apprentice
From the moment Lord Sugar’s new aide walks through the door, the candidates gasp with genuine horror. Claude makes Nick Hewer look about as intimidating as Richard Whitely and his Countdown teapot.
Lord Sugar talks Tinder
Don’t worry, he’s not on it but he does reference the online dating app and that alone is a very uncomfortable moment for everyone involved.
This year's batch of contestants are a typically bonkers bunch
Creepy tactics mounts to serious cash
One candidate’s “slightly creepy sales technique” has left Karren Brady re-evaluating how she does business.
Vegan restaurants don't sell fish
Among one of the supposedly most promising aspiring business giants in the country is a candidate who tries to sell fish to a vegan restaurant. Without giving too much away you can probably figure out the result for yourself.
The Apprentice returns this Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One.
