Theme Park

Series 15 Episode 6 of 12

Lord Sugar sends the candidates to a top theme park, home to some of the UK's most popular rollercoasters. On arrival, a three-dimensional hologram of Lord Sugar appears in front of the candidates and reveals that for this week's task they will be creating and marketing a new rollercoaster. They will need to design and brand their new attraction, which overnight will be turned into a 4-D ride that they will then pitch to the theme park's top talent to see whose ride they think is best. The task balances creative flair with productive pitching, and the team that forgets either could face a terrifying time in the boardroom.

During the ride design, one team's overly ambitious concept ends up hurtling them into a total spin, while for the others miscommunication sends them well off track. During the pitches, both teams must cling on as they receive a bumpy ride from the panel. Then there are twists and turns in the boardroom, and for one candidate it's the end of the ride as they are told – "You're Fired!"

Finland Advertising

Series 15 Episode 7 of 12

At the London Stadium in Stratford, site of the 2012 Olympics and home to UK Athletics and West Ham FC, Lord Sugar reveals that this week the contestants will be rebranding the country of Finland. Finland is known as a winter holiday destination, but for this task the candidates must create an advertising campaign to entice UK visitors during the summer months.

Half the team head to Finland to film the TV advert whilst the rest create a marketing campaign and a digital billboard to be displayed at Piccadilly Circus. The candidates must then pitch their advertising campaign to leading industry experts, including the head of tourism for Finland.

During the filming of the advert, on one team temperatures soar, while the other team make a big splash. Going into the pitches, both teams must convince the panel that they really understand all Finland has to offer, not just as a country, but as a summer destination.

The candidates aren’t out of the woods yet, as they’re back in the boardroom and facing Lord Sugar’s scrutiny. And for one candidate it’s time to pack their suitcase, as they are told – 'You’re Fired!'

Steam Train
Series 15 Episode 8 of 12

It’s Week Eight, and Lord Sugar instructs the candidates to put on their high-visibility jackets and meet him at the Battersea rail depot. There he reveals that it's full steam ahead for this task, in which the teams will be hosting a corporate away day onboard the iconic Belmond British Pullman train.

The candidates will have to lay on food, drink and entertainment while securing a good ticket price from the corporate clients to ensure a large profit. The task requires the teams to show off their organisation and hospitality skills. Get off track and they could end up with a one-way ticket home.

For one team the journey gets off to a bumpy start, while the others are left covering their tracks as they are faced with hungry guests. As this runaway train pulls in to the station, the candidates head back to the boardroom to face Lord Sugar’s scrutiny. For one candidate, it’s the final stop on their journey, as they are told – 'You’re Fired!'

Music Managers

Series 15 Episode 9 of 14

It’s Week Nine, and Lord Sugar asks the candidates to meet him at the world-famous BBC Maida Vale studios in London. These studios have played host to some of the biggest music artists in history, from The Beatles to Beyoncé.

This week the candidates will need a good eye for business and an even better ear as they are challenged to become music managers. Each team must audition unsigned artists, choose which one to represent and then head to a studio to create a new remix of one of their tracks. The end goal is to secure sales of the record at their own showcase events. They’ll need to produce a good track and make strong sales if they are going to end up top of the charts in the boardroom.

For one team there are creative differences in the studio as they fall out more than the Gallagher brothers. On the other team there is a compilation of calamities as they fail to harmonise.

Back in the boardroom it’s time to face the music as Lord Sugar separates the chart toppers from the one-hit wonders. For one candidate there will be no encore, as they are told – 'You’re Fired!'

Perfume

Series 15 Episode 10 of 14

It's Week Ten, and Lord Sugar summons the candidates to Burlington House in central London. A cultural hub for the arts and sciences, it is home to five learned societies, including the Royal Society of Chemistry.

So for their next task, Lord Sugar asks the candidates to don their lab coats and goggles as he challenges them to create and sell their own perfume. The teams will have to come up with their own signature scents and design and brand a unique bottle, before attempting to secure sales from two major retailers. This task requires both creativity and a real nose for business. If they get it right, they could be sniffing victory in the boardroom.

For one team, a failure to make decisions means they get all bunged up. On the other, a bold attempt to make their fragrance stand out causes a stink. In the boardroom, for one team it is the sweet smell of success, while for the other the scent of defeat lingers in the air as they each fight to avoid hearing the words, 'You're Fired!'

The Final Five

Series 15 Episode 11 of 14

After ten tough weeks, Lord Sugar's search for his next business partner is nearing its finale. Just two more tasks stand in the way of his £250,000 investment.

Now the five remaining aspiring entrepreneurs go under the microscope, revealing the real people behind the business wear, the origins of their drive and ambition, and just what makes their business brains tick.

Featuring interviews with family, friends and colleagues, plus Lord Sugar's trusted aides Baroness Brady and Claude Littner, this episode delves into the candidates' backgrounds and relives their highs and lows throughout the series so far.

Interviews

Series 15 Episode 12 of 14

The final five candidates are summoned to 70 St Mary Axe, otherwise known as the Can of Ham, a spectacular new 21-storey building in the heart of the City of London.

They face the scrutiny of Lord Sugar’s most trusted advisors, who are primed to pick apart their business plans. Each candidate goes head to head with the business bigwigs as they battle to back their plans. There’s tough talking, turmoil and tears as bravado breaks, egos are eradicated and business plans bulldozed.

In the boardroom it’s Lord Sugar’s chance to give them a grilling, as only two can progress to the final while the rest are told, 'You’re Fired!'

Why I Fired Them
The ApprenticeSeries 15 Episode 13 of 14

With Lord Sugar on the cusp of choosing his new business partner, we look back on the candidates who fell before the final hurdle and the tasks that took them to the brink.

In this landmark 15th year, the candidates sought sales on a South African safari, rebranded the country of Finland, accidentally made rude-looking lollies for a corporate client and made a turtle talk. They sold silver service on a steam train, encountered the twists and turns of rollercoaster design and created their own brand of perfume. Their trials and errors have made us chuckle, cry and cringe.

Lord Sugar leads us through the best and worst decisions made by this year’s aspiring entrepreneurs. Reflecting on their boardroom bust-ups, he lets us in on the reasons he decided to utter the dreaded words, ‘You’re Fired!’

The Final

Series 15 Episode 14 of 14

Lord Sugar summons the two frontrunners to the heart of London’s financial district to set them their final challenge to win his £250,000 investment.

For their last chance to convince Lord Sugar they’re worthy of his cash, each finalist must launch their new business. Invited back to aid the two finalists are some of this year’s fired candidates.

In an intensive three-day challenge, the finalists must create a new brand for their company, produce a digital billboard and direct and edit a television advert before pitching to Lord Sugar and a room full of industry experts at London’s City Hall.

Back in the boardroom, business proposals are picked apart by Lord Sugar before, after twelve tough weeks, he finally declares, 'You’re Hired!'
