Multi-award-winning business reality show The Apprentice returns for a fifth series in what promises to be the toughest yet. Britain's best aspiring tycoons have taken time out from their careers to embark on a 12-week interview from hell with no-nonsense, self-made millionaire businessman, Sir Alan Sugar. Aided once again by his advisers, Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford, Sir Alan sorts the wheat from the chaff through a series of gruelling tasks and explosive boardroom scenes. Viewers will be kept on the edge of their seats as candidates are whittled down after hearing Sir Alan's infamous words: "You're fired!"

With new candidates and new tasks, this is set to be the most tense and unpredictable series yet.

At 10pm on BBC2, Adrian Chiles is back to face a freshly fired apprentice each week as they explain what it is really like to try to impress no-nonsense self-made millionaire, Sir Alan Sugar.

Each week, Adrian is joined in the studio by three guests, bringing together popular figures from the world of entertainment and captains of industry as well as journalists and broadcasters. They all share one thing in common: they are passionate Apprentice fans, and they don't hold back when it comes to tackling the candidate's behaviour or challenging Sir Alan Sugar's decisions.

The newly fired apprentice will be able to reveal what it's really like to be on the receiving end of a boardroom show-down with Sir Alan and hear the words each of them dreads: "You're Fired!"
