The Apprentice is back

YOU know Spring is beginning when The Apprentice comes back to our TV screens for a new series.

Today (Wednesday) sees Sir Alan Sugar return to BBC 1 in his attempt to find a new recruit.

A total of 16 new candidates will be whittled down to the chosen one, and the lucky candidate will be told by 'Sralan' "your hired".

I have to admit I hardly watched the first series, but over the past two years I have been addicted to the programme.

The programme provides something to look forward to on a Wednesday evening. You can almost feel the tension as the candidates are brought into the boardroom at the end of the programme. It is part of the fun trying to guess who Sir Alan is going to fire.

Last year's winner was Simon Ambrose, although more memorable characters - in my opinion - were Tre Azam and Katie Hopkins. Who can forget Katie trying to manipulate other contestants by back stabbing and being underhand.

The year before there was an interesting battle between Michelle Dewberry and Ruth Badger, with Michelle winning in the end.

This year sees eight unknown males and eight females battle it out, and they come from a mix of business backgrounds.

The tasks will include, selling fresh fish and selling up an overnight laundrette business.

It is always enjoyable seeing how the people react to these situations, and it is this part of the programme I enjoy the most.
