Title:         Blacklist Britain - Panorama

Description:   For years some of the biggest names in British business

               Richard Bilton conducts the first television interview with

               one of the two people who ran the covert list. And he

Title:         The Apprentice

Episode:       Caravans

Description:   Business competition. The candidates are called to the Tower

               of London, where Lord Sugar tells them that their latest

               task is to sell products at the Motorhome and Caravan Show,

               and they are left with no doubt that he expects them all to

               impress. Half head off to test drive camping accessories and

               win over suppliers, but when both teams choose the same

               products, there is disappointment in store for some. Both

               project managers head straight to the show to select a high

               ticket item worth thousands, but matching products to

               punters proves a tricky task and piles on the pressure for

               both teams. On sales day, the teams divide, with half

               pushing must-have accessories, from electric bikes to

               rooftop boats, while the rest try to pull off showstopping

               sales of top end trailers. With high end products topping

               out at £17,000, every minute counts in the last minute push

               for a winning sale. In the boardroom the blame game starts

               up on the losing team, and Lord Sugar has a few surprises in

               store before someone hears the fateful phrase ’You’re

               fired!’
