The Apprentice is a British business-styled reality game show, created by Mark Burnett, distributed by FremantleMedia and broadcast by the BBC. Based upon the American original of the same name and billed as the "job interview from hell", the programme focuses on a group of aspiring businesspeople competing against each other in a series of business related challenges, in order to win a prize offered by British business magnate Lord Sugar. Produced by a number of companies over the course of the show's history, including Talkback Thames and United Artists Media Group, each series consists of around twelve episodes, and are aired either around Spring, or delayed; the first two were aired on BBC Two, before the programme's success led the BBC to move the show to BBC One from 2007.
