Title:         The Apprentice
Episode:       Interviews
Description:   Business competition. The candidates receive an early
               morning phone call from Lord Sugar, who tells them they have
               24 hours to brush up on their business plans, before being
               interviewed by four of his trusted advisors. The next day,
               business plans in hand, it’s off to the Institute of
               Directors. Lord Sugar explains that his advisors will be
               scrutinizing their plans and credentials, before feeding
               back to him. The nerves kick in straight away for the Final
               Five, as the anxious candidates are called in one by one to
               meet Lord Sugar’s hand-picked hit-squad. Armed with CVs
               and business plans, the advisors waste no time in taking the
               candidates to task. Egos are attacked, book-cooking
               uncovered, and personalities pulverised. There are anxious
               moments for some, and extraordinary things uncovered as the
               candidates are pushed to the limit. In an emotional
               boardroom, Lord Sugar receives some surprising news, and
               someone feels the full force of his fury, before a shock
               exit leaves everyone open-mouthed. In the fight to make the
               final, dreams come crashing down. Only two can make the
               grade, as the rest all kiss the investment goodbye as they
               hear the words ’You’re fired!’
