Title: Alex
Polizzi - The Fixer Returns
Description: Alex
Polizzi returns to some of the businesses she has
helped, catching up on their struggles since she left and
revisiting
her time at their business. This episode she
returns to Denver Mill - a mill, bakery and café business
in
Norfolk - and Courtyard Bridal Wear in Kettering. At both
places their dreams had turned into nightmares, perhaps not
surprisingly given the poor handle on finances these two
families showed

Title: The
Apprentice
Episode:
Container
Description:
Sixteen ambitious entrepreneurs start their fight for a
life-changing investment of 250,000
pounds as the battle to
become Lord Sugar’s next business partner begins. Summoned
to
the boardroom at midnight, Lord Sugar warns the
candidates that clichés won’t cut it, and spells out what
he
is looking for. Then it is onto the task. Each team is
given a shipping container stuffed with imported products,
and
the candidates must work through the night to sell the
lot. It is boys versus girls, but
Lord Sugar has a surprise
in
store for the sixteen hopefuls as they are put on the
spot
like never before. Sent straight to the port in the
dead
of night, the candidates get to see their stock. From
Lucky Cats to two tonnes of water, it is a mixed bag, and
they
only have until 4pm to shift it all. The teams search
London for businesses that will buy; dawn deals are done at
a
casino and a coach company, but with the clock ticking it
is
not long before the blunders begin

Title:
Bankers: Fixing The System
Description:
Documentary series telling the inside story of the scandal
that
ripped through the banking industry and took down a
banking legend, Bob Diamond. In the first episode, bosses,
regulators and politicians give frank first-hand accounts of
how the balance of power started to shift
away from the
bankers, a crisis that erupted over the widespread rigging
of
an obscure rate-setting mechanism, Libor, rather than
over
the tumult of the financial crash. Former Barclays
chairman Marcus Agius, RBS boss Sir Philip Hampton, deputy
governor of the Bank of England Andrew Bailey and
Jean-Claude Trichet examine the difficult new dilemmas about
what we want and need from our bankers, and
whether we can
trust them again

Title: The
Apprentice
Episode: Beer
Description: The
candidates face an early morning trip to the pub, as
this
task sees them coming up with a new flavoured beer; two
candidates who want Lord Sugar to invest in the drinks
business go head-to-head to prove themselves. Half the teams
head
off to a brewery to dream up their drinks, while the
rest
brainstorm brands for their beers. One team opts for a
rhubarb beer, while the others choose chocolate and orange -
but
there is trouble brewing when the manufacturing process
goes
into meltdown and potential profit is poured down the
drain. On sales day one team heads straight for an ale
festival, while the others have a worrying start as they set
up
shop in a deserted beer garden. Sense is in short supply
for
one team, who try and pitch their beer to a pub without
a
sample, and pricing up pints proves problematic. In the
boardroom alliances are exposed, and it is an emotional
rollercoaster for one candidate; but
ultimately it is
closing time for someone when Lord Sugar tells them
’You’re fired!’

Title:
Bradford: City of Dreams
Description:
Two-part documentary series exploring life in contemporary
Bradford, West Yorkshire, and the entrepreneurs that are
helping reignite the city’s fortunes. Bradford, once one
of
the richest cities in Britain, has always been a magnet
for
economic migrants, from the Irish rural poor who came to
work
in the mills in the 1800s via German Jewish merchants
who
traded in cloth at the turn of the 19th century and on
through the Asian immigration in the second half of the 20th
Century. As the mills, factories and exchanges have nearly
all closed,
the once grand city became a shadow of its
former self, but a new breed of Bradfordians are defying the
difficulties of post-industrial Bradford. These include
32-year-old Nav, who enhances some of the hottest super-cars
in
the world, but started with a Vauxhall Nova in his
parents’ garden, and Graham, a builder by trade and a
communicator by nature - whose few words of Urdu have helped
him
become the builder of choice for Bradford’s Asian
community
