00:00Welcome to The Apprentice, You're Hired.
00:10At last, we know, in this special hour-long programme,
00:13we'll be meeting Stella, Chris and Lord Sugar.
00:15All the candidates are here, plus Nick and Karen.
00:17But first, let's meet our panel.
00:19Restaurateur Sarah Willingham, comedian Jack Dee
00:21and columnist Amanda Plattel.
00:23Welcome to You're Hired.
00:25APPLAUSE
00:31After 11 weeks of furious competition,
00:34it all came down to one point of the finger.
00:37One of you is going to be very disappointed.
00:41I don't worry about the other person
00:44because I think we have two great people here.
00:48The decision that I've come to
00:51is that Stella, you're hired.
01:08Please welcome the runner-up in The Apprentice 2010, Chris Bates.
01:12APPLAUSE
01:21Chris, how are you?
01:23Yeah, I'm not too bad, actually.
01:25Obviously, a little bit disappointed,
01:27but, you know, somebody had to lose
01:29and, obviously, I lost to a worthy winner, so...
01:32OK, Grant, that's safe enough to say.
01:34I mean, again, we're going to miss...
01:36You know when we miss those blue eyes,
01:38those incredible blue eyes?
01:40What trick were you playing in the boardroom with the blue eyes?
01:43That's astonishing.
01:44I'd like to say that it was the blue lens,
01:46but I think it genuinely is just my stage blue eyes.
01:50Well, it would have brought tear to a glass eye, how it ended.
01:53This reminds me of how you tackle a task, though.
01:56Alcoholic drinks represents big, big business.
01:59It's the Brazilian and Latino cocktails that are where it's at.
02:02The really popular fruit is the pomegranate.
02:04I think there would be a gap in the market for that.
02:07If it's three, it makes more sense to do it as a pyramid.
02:10A pyramid is also like a prism,
02:12plus prism sounds quite cool and quite high-end.
02:14I know.
02:15Who was the mixologist of your team?
02:17Reddy, pinky colour...
02:18Rosy.
02:19Yeah. Is it a bit feminine?
02:21I'm really hoping the drink isn't that colour.
02:23The colour is clear, to confirm, yeah?
02:25No, the colour isn't clear.
02:29Yeah! I'm happy! Come on!
02:32Yeah.
02:34Action.
02:38It's fine for me.
02:39I thought the advert was not very good at all.
02:43I introduce to you Prism.
02:45I didn't think it was a male product.
02:48It was a very female drink.
02:50I think you can see that looking quite good in a backlit bar.
02:54I had a bottle of drape myself.
02:56The shape and the colour will really, really work strongly for the brand.
03:00Prism really does reflect every side of you.
03:03I need about ten Prismos right now.
03:06We need a Prismo.
03:09I need about ten Prismos right now.
03:11We need a Prismo.
03:18Why don't we start with the bottle?
03:21This is quite a weapon.
03:24In an alcoholic situation, you've given people an instrument
03:28with which they can do genuine harm to somebody else.
03:31Did you not ever consider this?
03:33In all honesty, I think when we came up with the design,
03:36in a prototype form, it is a bit sharp.
03:38You might have to take a little bit off the end.
03:41I think the idea is always that you're going to be walking into the bar
03:44and that the barman who's sober is going to be serving it out of the bottle,
03:47so you'll never get into the hands of a drunken person too much.
03:50Sarah, you run cocktail bars.
03:52Is this design craziness or is it beautiful?
03:54Actually, I think I agree with the comments earlier
03:57that behind the bar, with the light shining through,
04:00it'll attract your attention.
04:02It'll be up there with all the other coloured cocktail mixes.
04:05Would that make you want to drink it or would you fear it?
04:08I think it'd make me want to stroke it, for sure, definitely.
04:12Really? Yeah.
04:14Can I hold it? Yes, of course you can hold it.
04:17Admit it, Dara, you and me are both in the business
04:20where we occasionally get bottles thrown at us.
04:23That's what's lurking in the back of your mind, the worry there.
04:26Chris has actually made being bottled more dangerous now.
04:30It's aerodynamic. It would cut through the air.
04:34It has no drag at all. It's quite a beautiful thing.
04:37But if you lean down quickly in a cocktail bar...
04:40Ah!
04:43Actually, I'm not sure it's one that we'd want to play with.
04:46You'd never imagine doing that.
04:48I might as well do it now in case I lose a testicle.
04:52You'd have trouble finding a brown paper bag to put that in,
04:55wouldn't you, in a park?
04:57What man in a park, what rhino,
05:01would be investing their money in prism?
05:03A very effete tramp. I drink prism.
05:06I may be a tramp, but I like pomegranate.
05:09I find it vibrant and evocative.
05:12What is vibrant and evocative about a pomegranate?
05:15I'm not entirely sure, actually.
05:18No, I guess, you know, I think with pomegranate,
05:21we were trying to go for something which was quite on-trend at the time.
05:24And you're seeing it used quite a lot in different drinks,
05:27so it's evocative and... What was the other word?
05:30Vibrant. That might be going a little bit far.
05:33I'm sorry, I may have missed the pomegranate trend of 2010.
05:36I feel like I'm out of the loop at this stage.
05:38You've got to pay attention to that.
05:41Amanda, what do you think of it?
05:43Well, you also mentioned that you thought it was both chic and sophisticated,
05:46and I have to say, I don't think that portals either of those things.
05:49The basic problem I thought with you, because you're a brilliant salesman,
05:52and in the beginning of that particular challenge,
05:55you said, I'm not going to be swayed by what other people think.
05:58This is my challenge, this is my chance at the big time.
06:01And then you let Liz talk you into a pink drink
06:04inside a bloke's bottle.
06:06And I have to say, I think that was your first big mistake.
06:09See, the beauty of this is we actually can cut to people in the audience
06:12looking embarrassed and just kind of Liz covering her face there.
06:15Liz, as a man, no, no to a pink drink.
06:18Jack, would you drink a pink drink? I'll drink anything.
06:21You were drinking in a park a minute ago, so frankly...
06:24Yeah, it wouldn't matter to me. No, I thought it was quite refreshing,
06:27I thought the idea of it, I thought it was all right.
06:29I mean, to be fair, you get guys drinking pink champagne, rosé,
06:32stuff like that. Not very often, you know.
06:34Not that often, no. Is that just me, then?
06:36Yeah, it is just you, actually.
06:38It's maybe slightly unfair to pick on Liz, given that Liz is a lady,
06:41she would have gone, I like this drink.
06:43Shibby's job was to want to turn around and go, no, as a man,
06:46and as a doctor, I think, as a medical doctor,
06:49I think this is genetically wrong.
06:51I don't expect people to do this.
06:53Now, Lord Sugar did criticise the ad, right?
06:55And, you know, you have a history of Lord Sugar
06:57criticising your advertisements. Yeah.
06:59Germinator!
07:01But why do you keep going back to do more ads?
07:04I think the problem was with this one,
07:06I think the ideas in my head sometimes aren't that bad,
07:09but it's just the execution is always terrible.
07:11Yeah, because the idea in your head was a woman kind of
07:14swaying gently to the music.
07:16It wasn't some, oi!
07:18She was, oh, I'm here, I'm dancing as a man!
07:23I mean, the problem was, I left myself half an hour,
07:25so it was like, can you walk in kind of, you know,
07:27cool and casual, it's like, oi!
07:29And I'm like, yeah, all right, that actually will have to do.
07:31That will have to do. That's fine, yeah.
07:33Yeah, we actually have, this is, you know, to be fair,
07:35that does look like a classy drink.
07:37It looks like a hideously large bottle.
07:40Actually, it doesn't, it looks like a trailer
07:42to a science fiction movie.
07:44This is like a major city and this...
07:46The prisms have come, bum, bum, bum, and they run...
07:49What did you think of the ads, what did you think of the ads?
07:51It was unfortunate.
07:52There were two women came out of the loos, it seemed,
07:55going like that, and a bloke came out after them,
07:58and it was looking a bit tired, I don't know what...
08:01To be fair, if you thought a prism could do that for you,
08:03wouldn't you go? Yeah, I would have.
08:06You were unlucky as well with your choice of barman,
08:08cos you couldn't get anything in the glass, could you?
08:11Yes, you were.
08:12Pomegranates are everywhere.
08:14Look at them, we stick some sort of...
08:16I've had a whole bottle of this, it's fine.
08:18Is that a good ad?
08:19It's so good, the barmen are hammered.
08:21Yes!
08:22You can't get fruit in the glass, that's how bad we are.
08:25I think the slogan's great, and actually, every time you said it,
08:28it kind of hit home to everybody in the audience,
08:31they really got it.
08:32What about... Stella, obviously, would be a nature,
08:35but bourbon, is bourbon a better choice for a mixing drink?
08:38Well, bourbon's a big growth market,
08:40and, you know, it's something that we've looked at,
08:43we've got loads of bourbon-mixed cocktails for that very reason,
08:46and the problem is that Jack Daniels owns that market,
08:49it's so rock and roll, so anybody that comes out with a bourbon
08:52actually aimed at the female market is on to a winner,
08:55cos it doesn't exist at the moment.
08:57Chris, you've had some ups and downs throughout this entire process,
09:00let's remind ourselves of some of the more challenging times first.
09:03I'm supremely intelligent, ambitious,
09:05I'm an all-round gifted individual.
09:08I had an idea for an advertising campaign you could do as well,
09:11germinate.
09:12We decided to make a shockingly bad advert.
09:15And action.
09:16Ah!
09:17It's quite funny.
09:19I admit that maybe I made a mistake.
09:21Oh, my God!
09:23I've lost three tasks in a row now.
09:25I'm desperate not to lose another one.
09:27I'm getting a bit sick and tired of seeing your face here.
09:30They had nine appointments and you had six.
09:32Well done on that, guys, I mean, they're really good orders.
09:35Is this a message that I'm getting from above somewhere?
09:38It's telling me that you are a loser.
09:40I'm not a loser, at the end of the day,
09:42well, I mean, obviously I am in terms of the numbers which you have.
09:45I'm not sure whether I can risk it any more, really.
09:52You even mentioned on this show about your ratio.
09:54Your ratio, by the way, in 11 tasks, was six losses and five wins.
09:58Not the greatest ratio in the world and yet you're still here.
10:01Yeah, no, I know.
10:03There were times, especially when it got to the eighth week
10:06and me and Jamie survived
10:08and I'd been in the bottom three three times in a row
10:10and he'd been in there twice.
10:11And I started really thinking to myself,
10:13maybe this just isn't meant to be
10:14because I can't carry on going on losing tasks
10:16and possibly get to the final.
10:18We actually kind of made a bit of a pact with each other
10:20that we are definitely not losing in another task
10:22because otherwise, you know, at least one of us has gone,
10:25if not probably both of us.
10:26And we did manage to pull together a couple of wins at the end
10:29because otherwise my record was looking absolutely shocking, actually.
10:31I think week eight I'd lost six and won two.
10:34It wasn't an inspiring reason, to be fair.
10:37And then the one you went on to, of course, was the negotiating task.
10:40Yeah.
10:41How is your brother, by the way?
10:42How do those taxi exams go?
10:44Well, his name's Lauren and he's in the audience
10:48and it's actually a sister who doesn't drive a taxi.
10:51You lied!
10:53No, shock horror, I was selling porcupines.
10:55OK, what about your granny?
10:56Your granny, did she get to the wedding?
11:00No, no, that was genuinely true, yeah.
11:02She got to the wedding and had a birthday present.
11:06Yeah, OK, that she wanted to make a kit with.
11:08I think genuinely, I thought if we're going to go down this
11:11sort of telling a few white lies,
11:13you might as well make them as ridiculous as possible
11:15because they're blatantly not going to actually believe you
11:17but they'll probably feel so sorry for you
11:19that they might just give you a few quid off
11:21just basically to get you out of the shop and all that.
11:23I actually think you just confused people with it.
11:25I think that was the strategic error
11:27because you'd say your brother was doing the knowledge
11:29and he had these books but then he'd lent you the books
11:32and therefore he couldn't take his exams.
11:34Why would he lend a load of atlases to you
11:38when you can't even find your way around anyway?
11:41It's not like you had to borrow that.
11:43And then in the tartan shop, I mean, you excelled yourself.
11:45That was absolutely incredible.
11:47You were going to a wedding in Scotland
11:49and you wanted some tartan for your nan
11:51because she'd just passed her 11-plus or something
11:54and she had to get her arms reupholstered
11:56so she could become an astronaut.
11:58And the guy was sitting there,
11:59just take the tartan, get out of here.
12:01Yeah, well, that was it pretty much really.
12:03You just drive them to absolute despair
12:05with this constant stream of nonsense.
12:08Is this a business technique
12:10you've ever used in any other context?
12:12I think I definitely will do in the future.
12:14Any of the negotiations, it seems to be a winner.
12:16How about you? You can spin a story.
12:18Were you impressed with this?
12:19I thought it was brilliant actually.
12:20I love the way you're so quick on your feet
12:22and I was really having to reel back and reel back
12:25and think, this is extraordinary.
12:26I could employ that guy.
12:28Did you do that?
12:29Except that, of course,
12:31because my newspaper wouldn't have someone
12:33who lied all the time.
12:34Oh, that's not even a good start on that.
12:39You don't get this far, however, without shining.
12:41Let's see the full Chris Bates charm in action.
12:45Pretty amazing, isn't it?
12:46Wow, that is amazing.
12:47I'm going to put on a bit of a charm offensive, I think.
12:49It really shakes your figure well.
12:51I think women want to feel quite special
12:53when they're trying on clothes, you know.
12:54You are the person who's the best at it,
12:56I'll have to say.
12:57They probably believe that, you know,
12:59you were actually being serious
13:00and sometimes I was.
13:01OK.
13:02Yeah, brilliant.
13:03How's that?
13:04You're not just a pretty face, mate.
13:06You're a good salesman, too.
13:07£178 in one sale, that's not too bad.
13:09And I don't know if you remember,
13:11but I was also a winning PM from last week.
13:13LAUGHTER
13:15APPLAUSE
13:23As Stuart put it in his own unique way,
13:25you were actually the winning PM of the most successful team
13:28that has ever, the biggest sale we've ever had.
13:30I mean, you always had that momentum
13:32from that going for you as well.
13:33Well, yeah, I mean, I can't take, you know,
13:35too much credit for that,
13:36because obviously Liz pulled off a really good sale
13:39and that was a big reason why we won,
13:41although obviously securing the product was a big thing
13:44and recognising the product,
13:45so I do feel entitled to take a little bit of credit,
13:48because obviously, you know,
13:49when the product manager invariably loses a task,
13:51it's always their fault,
13:52so at times you have to take a little bit of credit.
13:54Absolutely, you live by the sword, die by the sword,
13:56you have to do that.
13:57You impressed me there.
13:58Well, I did.
13:59One of the things I thought was quite interesting
14:01in the end, in the final shows,
14:02is when you were quite modest about what you'd achieved
14:05and you did come up with a great package
14:07and a slightly weird idea and a terrible drink,
14:10but there was a lot to be said for it.
14:12But you didn't take the credit for it
14:14and then when we got to the end
14:16and Stella started attacking you,
14:18I thought it was really interesting
14:19that you never attacked her in a personal way
14:21and that struck me as one of the really big,
14:23one of the qualities about you I liked the most.
14:25You were really good with your team
14:27and you encouraged people,
14:29but you were never personal
14:30and you were never, yeah, personal and attacking.
14:35APPLAUSE
14:38Well, that's obviously very, very nice of you to say.
14:42Yeah, I guess in the final I kind of always wanted,
14:44you know, I felt that it should be my merits really
14:47which I argue across to get me the job or not
14:50and I didn't want to go down the line of saying
14:52I'm better at Stella than this and that because...
14:54No, I thought that's a really fine line.
14:56..ultimately it's not, you know,
14:57it's not really the way that I do things,
14:59but, you know, it was, yeah, I mean, to be fair,
15:02she's also got a lot of great qualities
15:04and very much a deserving winner, so...
15:06Absolutely.
15:07We have to also mark the gambler's attitude to risk
15:09that you took in the London tour guide task.
15:12Chris came up with something a bit innovative.
15:14You want somebody who is a risk taker.
15:16If you were to promote our tour,
15:18I think that it would be realistic
15:19that we would give you 20% of our earnings tomorrow.
15:2320% of everything, yeah.
15:24Oh, what, even the tickets you sold?
15:26Yeah.
15:27That was adventurous, wasn't it?
15:28I was very keen to make sure that we won that swap.
15:31This must be our man.
15:34That's fantastic.
15:35Well, you rolled the dice there, Chris.
15:37You've come in with a good win.
15:39That's what I call a shrewd business move.
15:42Right, you're between friends now, right?
15:45The process is over, nothing can happen.
15:47You made a mess of that and bluffed your way through it, didn't you?
15:51That isn't what you intended to do, is it?
15:53It genuinely was.
15:56Honestly, if you let me explain, I've heard that a lot, actually.
15:59I've been getting a lot of questions about how you are a chancer.
16:02There's no way it was an innovative move.
16:04The reality is, though, that ticket office was such a key thing.
16:07I mean, if you actually broke down our sales,
16:09they sold probably about £700 or something out of £1,100 worth.
16:14So handing out 20% of what we sold
16:17really wasn't anything sort of, you know,
16:20remotely in the same league as not getting that pitch.
16:22So it was a huge thing to secure, and really,
16:24whatever team was going to get that,
16:26regardless of how much it gave away, was going to win the task.
16:28Yeah, I can see you've had to practise this speech.
16:31I'm not entirely convinced about it.
16:33Like, Jamie's tips!
16:35You gave him 20% of...
16:37I've never seen him look so disappointed, ever.
16:39His little face!
16:40It was like he's got £13 of his tips at a hand,
16:43over at the end of the day.
16:45No, I mean, he was gutted.
16:46I mean, he worked very hard for those tips.
16:48I mean, it was quite funny, even at the beginning,
16:50before he'd even got any tips, it was like,
16:52he didn't think, what, even of our ticket sales?
16:54It was, does that mean even my tips?
16:57You know, he was gutted.
16:59Sarah, are you impressed by this move?
17:01I agree with everything you've just said,
17:03but I honestly, inside, I feel that
17:06that wasn't with the benefit of foresight,
17:08that was all with the benefit of hindsight.
17:10I think you're winging it, honestly.
17:13And I think at the time, afterwards, you went,
17:15oh, my God, I've just given away 20% of everything.
17:18I went, oh, please, God, let it work, please let it work.
17:21And it paid off.
17:22And now he can give us this brilliant speech,
17:24and we're dead proud you did really well,
17:26you're so strewd.
17:28I'm taking it to the grave with me.
17:31On your brother's life, right?
17:37Another tartan granny of yours.
17:39My nan's tartan, it was true.
17:42It was a good move. Amanda, are you impressed with it?
17:44Yeah, I thought, listen, you've got to take risks.
17:46And, you know, this isn't just about business,
17:48this is also a game that you really want to win.
17:50And I thought you had a lot of courage, I like that,
17:52I like that about you all the way through.
17:55OK, Jack, you're unconvinced.
17:56Well, you know, if you can turn your mistakes
17:58to your advantages,
18:00and we know that Chris is someone we can believe when...
18:03LAUGHTER
18:05When he says...
18:06It's good enough for me.
18:08OK, Chris, we're going to take a little break for you for a second,
18:10we're going to come to Amanda.
18:11You've been looking over the entire series for us
18:13for some moments that really stood out.
18:15Now, how critical is the boardroom in all this?
18:17Oh, it's absolutely critical,
18:18and I think especially it's so topical now,
18:20because when this first clip that I've chosen came up,
18:23there was a big survey that said again
18:25that there are no women,
18:26there are very few women in the boardroom
18:28in the blue-chip companies.
18:29Watch this clip and you'll see why.
18:31OK, let's take a look at the first clip,
18:33and this is all the way back in programme two.
18:35I would happily bring in the whole team, actually,
18:37to this boardroom again.
18:39I think she needs to bring...
18:40Joy and Paloma.
18:41Joy hasn't contributed much, given 150%.
18:44I don't see the patient with the brainstorming at all.
18:47Paloma, if you can say something.
18:49Listen, this is a personal attack.
18:51No, it's not.
18:52It's about who did that.
18:54Listen to yourself.
18:55Listen to yourself.
18:56You are representing businesswomen today,
18:59and I have to say it is outrageous, the way you're behaving.
19:03Mm, well said.
19:06Now, as a woman...
19:07I rest my case. What more can I say?
19:10A good woman boss is the best boss you can have,
19:12and I think that Stella showed that throughout the series.
19:15She's brilliant running a team.
19:17A bad woman boss is one of the worst things you'll ever experience,
19:20and that was a gaggle of bad women bosses,
19:23and it was awful.
19:24None of them would have stayed in my company
19:27for a week after that, I'm afraid.
19:29Sarah, what did you think?
19:31Obviously, when you watch that, you can't argue with that.
19:34That's a clip from a very, very competitive environment
19:37that's on television.
19:38I don't think that is representative of women in business...
19:41It's not. It's not.
19:42..at all, I think.
19:43It's not.
19:44I think, you know,
19:45as somebody who's spent a lot of time in a boardroom,
19:47I haven't seen that type of behaviour from women.
19:50I have seen it a bit.
19:53Was it particularly unhelpful to have a guy on a trumpet going...
19:56HE IMITATES TRUMPET
20:00..that kind of set the tone for it a bit?
20:02Jack, do you want to comment on women generally
20:04in a way that could be offensive?
20:08I think there was a bit of pecking order going on there, wasn't there?
20:11They were all trying to find their...
20:13And there is also an element of, like, Chiefs and Indians
20:15where in week two, people are trying to impress.
20:17Yeah, it's quite difficult to do that.
20:19And also, Mandy, in fairness,
20:20there must have been some horrendous situations in boardrooms
20:22with just men, when you think of...
20:24Yes, but my point is that that played into all of the stereotypes of women.
20:28Men don't behave.
20:29They would not, in a boardroom,
20:31they would not start picking on each other like that.
20:33They're much more calculated.
20:34They do it beforehand, they do it after, they kill you,
20:36they cut your legs off.
20:37But what they don't do is that kind of...
20:39That sort of nate, that frenzy thing in front of each other,
20:42because that just gives your game away.
20:44That's not cool.
20:45No, they stand on Trafalgar Square going,
20:47UF off, no, UF off.
20:49You're going to hit me, you're going to hit me.
20:51APPLAUSE
20:55OK, there are two people in the Apprentice
20:57who deserve particular applause
20:59for being keen-eyed and sharp-witted.
21:01Let's turn the spotlight on to Lord Sugar's trusty aides, Nick and Karen,
21:04who witnessed first-hand the good, the bad
21:06and the downright ugly moments with the candidates.
21:09Karen, it's been your first year with us as an aide.
21:12You had the Junior Apprentice in the summer,
21:14and now this. Have you enjoyed it?
21:16Oh, I've loved every minute. It's been really special.
21:18It's unbelievable to be part of your favourite show.
21:21I don't think people understand, looking from the outside in,
21:24the amount of integrity and professionalism
21:26that goes into producing such a great show that it is.
21:28And what has been your favourite moment of the series?
21:31I think the battle at Trafalgar Square was quite up there.
21:35I thought On The Buses was a really great programme
21:38and it was great to be part of it.
21:40We've been on the lookout for your most memorable moments, and here they are.
21:43No, I asked you!
21:45Can I just say something? Yeah.
21:47I've never come across anything like this.
21:50MUSIC
21:57You were very annoying.
21:59Were we? What do you think, Karen?
22:01Very nice.
22:04You were like a sulky child in the meeting.
22:09I'm not sure I can go forward with this.
22:11I think you could smell your desperation.
22:13We don't have a single sausage.
22:17They're not on fire, are they, Chris?
22:21I mean, I have to say, how hard is it to stand with a megaphone shouting out muffins?
22:26MUSIC
22:28One, two...
22:40Ladies and gentlemen, Karen Brady.
22:42CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
22:49Nick, you've been on the show since it began.
22:52What will you take away from it?
22:54Nick, you've been on the show since it began.
22:57What will you take away from this series?
22:59Quite a lot of things.
23:01A great series. A great series.
23:03Two great finalists.
23:05Chris's use of the English language is quite extraordinary.
23:09The most articulate fellow ever to appear on The Apprentice.
23:12If only he could harness that articulacy with the voice of Richard Burton,
23:17then we'd really have a start.
23:19As Madonna once sang in Vogue,
23:21Rita Hayworth gave good faith, but we think the same applies to Nick Hewer.
23:25I don't want to offer you too many well-worn clichés.
23:28A towel with a pillowcase somewhere at the top of it.
23:32Headless chickens immediately springs to mind.
23:35Um, actually, that's wrong, I know, sorry. Um...
23:38Let's not pretend this is a sort of a nuclear submarine he's selling.
23:42They're all jumping up and down on the spot and hugging each other.
23:45Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.
23:46You're all over it like a tramp on chips.
23:50Long, skinny, wobbly sausages have turned into fat, seductive bangers.
23:58It's in a pretty sight, really.
24:03I think he's married, actually, after that experience.
24:06Who does he think he is?
24:09What a shambles they are.
24:12She can, as an octopus, perhaps,
24:15grope her husband.
24:18What a horrible muddle it's all is,
24:21and I'm rather bored with it now.
24:28Nick Hewer, ladies and gentlemen.
24:39Jack, I want to come to you.
24:41You're no stranger to the pressures, Jack, of The Apprentice,
24:44and you've been commissioned under the Apprentice for Karmic Relief,
24:47a rule that you took very seriously.
24:50I'm sorry, I'm just repeating it.
24:53Leave me alone! Go away!
24:56Jack. Jack, look at this.
24:59Jack.
25:01Yeah, you want a piece of me?
25:03We've got about ten minutes.
25:05I can't get up, Jack.
25:07Come on!
25:09Hang on, who's going to say the names of the cameras?
25:11We're working out down there, we've got to go.
25:14Yes, well, and if you're in a firing league,
25:16can I suggest the person who counts the chairs?
25:19Cos...
25:21..both times I've been in there, I didn't get a chair.
25:23And Fiona's the same.
25:25And that means we don't get water either.
25:27Anyway, it's a small point, so...
25:39Sadly, your boys' team did lose that task.
25:42How did you find being on the Apprentice?
25:44Well, you know, it's very nerve-wracking.
25:46It's terrifying. If you make too many mistakes,
25:48you could end up working for Lord Sugar.
25:50And that's, you know, what no-one wants.
25:52No-one would wish that on anyone.
25:54It is actually quite surprising,
25:57even given that, you know, I have a job, so to speak.
26:00The pressure is still on to come up with stuff.
26:03And I was unlucky that I was lumped with such piss-poor people
26:07as, you know, Jonathan Ross, Alan Curran, Gok Wang
26:11were on my team, so it was a no-hopper from beginning to end.
26:14I mean, clearly, I was brilliant,
26:16and all the good stuff came from me,
26:18but it was too late by then.
26:20I'm sorry to hear that.
26:21You have chosen some of your favourite moments from this series, though.
26:24I have, yes. I think it was...
26:26There was a lovely bit to do with Alex and the Germanator.
26:29Yes. I'm a huge fan of Alex.
26:31Do you know what was more...
26:33I think what was impressive in this task
26:35was the sheer attention to detail brought to this task.
26:38Alex, did you clean up or mess up, then?
26:42My background is marketing, advertising, PR.
26:45Who designed this label?
26:47What colour would you associate with clean?
26:49Yellow.
26:50Quite dark, mysterious.
26:51Yes.
26:52Oh, no, I like that. I like that.
26:53They're not natural colours
26:55that you would associate with cleaning products.
26:57That is going to become the iconic cleaner.
27:00It says here it must be kept out of reach for children.
27:03Germanator!
27:05I'm saying that will be perfectly fine.
27:07Wow. Thanks, Germanator.
27:09Oh, dear.
27:12Very casual about both the market research
27:14and the sheer science of don't give detergent to kids.
27:17He's got a great talent for embracing bad ideas,
27:20all the way through.
27:22I don't know if I'm the only one who thought
27:24that he looked like Madame Tussauds' first attempt at Gordon Brown.
27:30I think...
27:34Every time I watched it, I thought,
27:36that's what he looks like.
27:38He looks like a little, tiny, friendly version of Gordon Brown
27:41that you might put in your garden next to a pond with a fishing rod.
27:46But, of course, the other great product that we have
27:48came a little earlier in the series. It was this one.
27:50Basically, the product was rubbish.
27:53Yes.
27:54I think it's going to become a holiday must, I really do.
27:57Oh, shit.
27:59Just looks a bit clunky.
28:01No orders.
28:03It would blow over really quickly.
28:05Who else didn't like this bloody thing?
28:09This is the first time, on a task like this,
28:11we've ever had a situation where there's totally zero orders.
28:17You honestly get better quality self-assembly kits in a Kinder Egg.
28:21That was such a poor idea.
28:23And I don't know why Joanna was the one who was in love with it all the way through.
28:26She just thought, this is the most marvellous thing
28:28that she could have thought of.
28:30This idea that you'd have something on the beach.
28:32I mean, what a prat you'd look like on the beach.
28:35Come on.
28:36You didn't really believe in it, did you, Joanna?
28:38Well, Boots wanted the product.
28:40They wanted exclusivity.
28:41You said they couldn't have it, didn't you?
28:42I didn't say that.
28:43Oh, no, no, let's just start that one again.
28:46Well, it was more the fact that when they put it together,
28:48there was a bit where they went...
28:50It's like losing an eye on the beach.
28:52It's the sort of thing you see someone with on the beach
28:54and think, what the hell is he doing?
28:56And then if he does get it put together,
28:58you think, what an arse.
29:00Look at that. He can't even hold his own book.
29:03But you can only read it when you're lying on your front.
29:05You can only read it when you're lying on your front.
29:07If you lie on your back, it's behind you.
29:09You have to rebuild it over your midriff.
29:12And then you've got this book shape of a shadow in your time.
29:16You also spotted something about Chris
29:18and Chris's appearance, didn't you?
29:20Chris, you know, this is the thing I've been puzzled by.
29:22And I'm glad to have met you, finally,
29:24because I actually suspect, and I think I'm probably right,
29:27is that Chris is a werewolf.
29:29I think he's...
29:33I do think he's very rational and contained now,
29:37but I should think on a full moon he'd rip your throat out, wouldn't he?
29:40You can just see it.
29:42There is quite the Twilight element to you, all right.
29:44There's quite the Robert Pattinson kind of...
29:46I prefer that to just a werewolf.
29:48We'll go with that one, yeah.
29:50Was there something about Chris's delivery that struck you as well?
29:53I just think he's a bit monotone, a bit sort of...
29:55I think he should just smile a bit more, lighten up, you know?
29:58No-one likes someone who's miserable all the time.
30:02It doesn't suit anyone to do that.
30:04You've got to give it a bit more.
30:06Yeah, this is Chris doing his best Jack Dean.
30:08I think Chris is never short of a fact,
30:11but he's short of a variety of tone.
30:1435-year-old professionals who drink at home
30:17and in high-end drinking establishments.
30:20He's been commented on being the bomber.
30:22Nick describes him as a low-flying bomber.
30:24Yeah. It is a bit like that, really.
30:28At the end of the day, I like the product.
30:30I think we've positioned it well.
30:32Is there any chance I'll put you down for a ticket?
30:35No.
30:37I'm extremely funny.
30:41I'm enjoying every minute of being here.
30:43Yeah, it's really good.
30:45I absolutely loved it.
30:49It is.
30:51APPLAUSE
30:57Now, sometimes you can sound a little flashy.
31:00No, I do see that, to be fair.
31:03It was one of those things, as soon as Nick said it,
31:06I just knew it was going to follow me around forever.
31:09Low-flying bomber I will forever be.
31:12Sarah, how would you sum up Chris?
31:14I think you're great. I really do.
31:16I think you've done brilliantly
31:18and I think in a different set of circumstances
31:21you could have easily won this,
31:23but you were up against somebody
31:25who has a background to you, actually,
31:27but she's got six years on you
31:29and six years in your 20s is such a long time.
31:32Jack?
31:34You did a good job, yeah, very good.
31:36The penguin suit is a winner.
31:38You look almost human in it
31:40and I think we've all had rabies shots,
31:42so we can meet you tonight.
31:44It's clear you are a werewolf and you're being contained now,
31:47but later on tonight, near where he lives,
31:49he'll be out on the hill, he'll be going...
31:51Amanda?
31:53May I just say that the other person
31:55I think who's been brilliant in this series is Stuart,
31:58because I think it would have been a much lesser show without you
32:01and all your silly sayings like,
32:03I'm not a one-trick pony, I'm a whole field of ponies.
32:06LAUGHTER
32:08They're great, they're just wonderful.
32:10You're priceless.
32:12APPLAUSE
32:18We always give people a gift
32:20to remind them of their time with The Apprentice.
32:22You can blame this one on Nick.
32:24You already know what this is going to be.
32:26Clearly, there's no other way that we could get...
32:28other than send you out with your own low-flying bomber
32:31just sat down there.
32:33That is for you.
32:35You remember your time with us here.
32:37Thank you very much.
32:39APPLAUSE
32:45Of course, you made it all the way to the final.
32:47Here are your much-deserved highlights.
32:49Who is it?
32:51CHEERING
32:55I simply am that good.
32:59He's good at sales, he's good at pitching.
33:02Tucking in those muffin tops.
33:04The whole package, really.
33:06Would you like a muffin?
33:09A really nice guy.
33:11Very solid pair of hands.
33:13You've got some sausage balls there.
33:15End of mix.
33:17Calm, collected.
33:20A record-breaking win.
33:27Yep, that was me.
33:29Get rid of this gravy.
33:31I just can't get rid of this gravy.
33:34That's just what I'm looking for.
33:40I would have offered her a bit of my bratwurst.
33:44I hope you've enjoyed my presentation.
33:46Well done. Good to see you.
33:49Thank you so much.
33:51Cheers, guys.
33:56Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Bates.
34:09Now to the winner.
34:11And this was the moment when we knew that Stella had got the job.
34:15Over the course of the last 12 weeks,
34:18what I've seen from you, Stella,
34:20is that clearly you are a great organiser of people,
34:23well-liked, and I think determined to get on with whatever you're asked to do.
34:29I also have taken note of where you have come.
34:33The fact that at an early age you never had all these qualifications
34:36and all that type of stuff, and then get yourself the job that you've got.
34:39That shows me a lot of determination.
34:45Stella, you're hired.
34:49Thank you, Lord Sugar.
34:53Please welcome the winner of The Apprentice 2010, Stella English.
35:12How are you?
35:14I'm really well, thank you, Dara.
35:17It is a pleasure to have you here.
35:19Now, you've been striving for this job for so long.
35:22What did it feel like, that moment?
35:24Oh, it was just everything that I'd been waiting for.
35:27I was just so happy.
35:29I was just free-falling.
35:31And I nearly burst into tears, I think.
35:34Even just now, just watching it back.
35:36Really? Because Chris is a very strong contender.
35:38It was a tight fight.
35:40I felt really proud to be able to stand up to someone like Chris
35:44because I think he's really, really good
35:46and a very, very credible candidate.
35:49So I was proud to be in the final with him.
35:51OK, Gran, without further ado, why don't we...
35:53Well, you know him already, but bring out your new boss, ladies and gentlemen.
35:56Please welcome Lord Sugar.
36:15Pleasure to have you here, finally around this desk.
36:18That's nice of you, thank you.
36:20The invitation was always there.
36:22You could drop in at any stage.
36:24Are you happy with your decision?
36:26Very happy, yes, very happy indeed.
36:28Tough, as ever.
36:30Two very, very good candidates.
36:32We just saw Chris.
36:34It just shows you how tough it is for me
36:36to come up and make the final decision, really.
36:40So why did you choose Stella?
36:42What you saw is somebody who's very meticulous
36:45and that's what's needed in this very competitive market.
36:49Now, what would you like to say to Chris?
36:51Look, the rules are that I give someone a job.
36:55Stella's got the job.
36:57I will honestly say that if whatever he wants to do afterwards,
37:01my doors are always open for Chris to come knocking on them if he wants to.
37:06But he certainly has the ingredients, clearly, to go somewhere.
37:10If he doesn't want to come back and knock on my door,
37:13I'm pretty sure that he's going to do very, very well
37:16in the rest of his life.
37:28Let's go back to today's task.
37:30Let's see how you won this task.
37:32It was a little bit hairy, but about two minutes
37:35before we pulled up at the place, we came up with a name.
37:38Urban Mix.
37:39Urban Mix.
37:40Urban Mix.
37:41What about Urban Mix?
37:42U-R-B-O-U-N.
37:43This looks brilliant.
37:44Oh, wow, I love it.
37:46The name is good, but taste of it was a bit pungent.
37:50See, I delegated it out to somebody else.
37:57I thought it would be.
37:59Fantastic.
38:00That is bad, boy.
38:02Action.
38:04We'll have an urban, please.
38:06Can we have four urbans, please?
38:09The urban bottle design is slim and chic.
38:13They thought it was a kind of a vinegar of some kind.
38:16I'm hoping to move out to the country if this goes well.
38:24Quite well-considered brand name.
38:26A product concept that's much better considered.
38:28It's based upon bourbon, and its brand name is very, very clever.
38:32It's the new way of drinking bourbon.
38:35Let's go and have an urban night.
38:37Let's go and have an urban night.
38:39Now, this is urban. This is the bottle.
38:41Have you seen that since, by the way?
38:43No.
38:44No, it is. I mean, there's nothing actually...
38:46But what appealed to you about this?
38:48I think I commented that I didn't particularly like the taste too much initially,
38:52but then I think it got watered down in the cocktail.
38:55You said it was pungent.
38:56Yes.
38:57There's no one who didn't like it initially.
38:59One thing you've learned over the course of these 12 weeks
39:03is that I've really, really toned down now.
39:06I'm trying to be reasonable.
39:08Yeah, it was horrible, wasn't it?
39:10But I think then, when it got mixed as a mixer,
39:14you started to warm to it, really.
39:16It does look like a vinegar bottle.
39:18Did you realise that at the time?
39:19No, unfortunately not.
39:21That was an association you made?
39:22I think we were just so...
39:24Olive oil, wasn't it? Olive oil.
39:25Olive oil and vinegar, yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:27Like a balsamic type thing.
39:28Give it a bit of fastness.
39:32Rosé balsamic.
39:34Rosé balsamic, I must try that.
39:36That's fantastic.
39:37We should try that, yeah.
39:39One of those salad parties we're always having, you and I.
39:44But no, it is...
39:46And Irvine, there is that moment, by the way,
39:48because how late was it you came up with the idea?
39:50It was literally a couple of minutes before we pulled up to the design place.
39:54We should have had it long before then,
39:56because everything else is hinging on that name.
39:58And there is a moment, there's a really nice moment,
40:00which you rarely see on television, of somebody going,
40:02I am now thinking.
40:04Thinking is happening.
40:06Thinking has occurred!
40:08And it was literally that moment that just popped into your head.
40:11Well, I got quite serious.
40:12I got my pad out and looked like I was really going to do something.
40:15And thank God, you know...
40:17That's when they appeared.
40:18Not a bad name, was it?
40:19It's a great name. I genuinely think it's a fantastic name.
40:21The fact that it was based on Bourbon, I think it was quite a good name, actually.
40:24No, I think there is a point where you go urban
40:26and I don't know if other people did, I went,
40:28Ah, she's won it.
40:30Because I thought that was such a good name.
40:32I genuinely think you could sell this.
40:34That's not really your business. Were you ever thinking of going into it?
40:36No, no, no, no. Not that stuff, no, no.
40:39We've got too much spirit in our company.
40:41Yeah.
40:42Oh, dear.
40:43For God's sake.
40:44Tough crowd, Jesus.
40:46I know.
40:47Stella, for me, you really made your mark way back in week two,
40:50as Sir Lord Sugar has already talked about,
40:52where you were parachuted in to manage the failing boys' team.
40:55I'm going to send Stella over to the boys' team to keep you in check.
41:04I have no problem whatsoever in whipping these boys into shape.
41:08If there's any disagreements, you know, I'm just not going to put up with that.
41:11Can you imagine, like, some long hand or something?
41:14Put some cream on that.
41:18Does anyone else have any other ideas?
41:20Stella, how will this lot together stop them all squalling and fighting?
41:24We haven't had many arguments at all, really.
41:27I'm happy with the decision. We've made it. Let's just move on, OK?
41:30The concept is extremely interesting.
41:33I think you've done really, really well.
41:35Right on Stella, too.
41:37Just had them under control. There you are, women power.
41:39You see that, Karen?
41:40I've been telling you it for years.
41:42I know.
41:43Cheers.
41:44Cheers.
41:45Cheers.
41:46It was an important performance, that one.
41:48Very good. Very, very, very good.
41:50An excellent performance, because, you know,
41:53the boys in the first week were a bit of a disaster, to say the least.
41:59And were you aware that you were already a leader at that stage?
42:02Because you'd been praised in week one.
42:04Week two you managed the team quite dramatically well.
42:07Were you getting a tingle of, I'm like a favourite here?
42:10No, not at all.
42:12I just think I just dealt with every task as it came along
42:15and I really enjoyed being with the boys.
42:17It was great fun and they were actually really good to work with,
42:20so it was good. It was easy.
42:21It wasn't plain sailing with all of the boys.
42:23I mean, there are some of them who got quite feisty.
42:26I know where you're going with this.
42:27Yeah, of course, we all know where I'm going with this.
42:29Let's have a look at it again, will we?
42:30Guy was trapped in this room with him for ten hours
42:33and it was almost like doing time.
42:35Can you just let me do this?
42:37I can, but I'm leading the task, so I need to know what's going on.
42:40I know, but you've just ruined my labels.
42:42Stella is 31. She's a lot older than me.
42:4430, actually.
42:46Almost. It was like she was a child and I was actually her parent.
42:49It's funny how the age gap was actually reversed.
42:51Just make sure it's found OK.
42:53Sorry, Mum.
42:54Stuart was basically useless in the last task.
42:57She's not nice to me.
42:59He's of no value.
43:03It's an acquired taste.
43:05Yes.
43:06I like you, but I bloody hate you.
43:09Don't get me wrong, I still find Stuart amusing from time to time.
43:12We do have one of those love-hate relationships.
43:14Yeah.
43:16So, on the love-hate, how's your relationship with Stuart now?
43:20Well, you know, he loves me, I hate him.
43:25I actually love Stuart. I know that you probably don't believe that.
43:28I do. He's very, very endearing,
43:30but you just want to slap him around a bit now and again.
43:33You're speaking like the voice of the nation.
43:37Sorry, I'm sorry.
43:39Because you keep bouncing back up again.
43:41It's so easy to go, hey, he's back up again.
43:45OK, you always get a strange reputation.
43:47I thought an unfair reputation as being cold or corporate,
43:50because that was your working background.
43:52Because if you look back on it, you did do your share of mucking in.
43:56Brilliant, well done.
43:58Oh, I don't know, I feel really shy. What shall I do?
44:01No, honestly, you look gorgeous.
44:04Come into our lovely shop.
44:08Hi.
44:11It took two men 36 hours to wind up the clock.
44:16It would take far less time to wind me up.
44:18And I'm sure one man could do it as well.
44:21Leave that mother brown, leave that mother brown.
44:24Hey!
44:36Do you to this day have any clue of the words of Nisa Mother Brown?
44:39No, please don't ask me.
44:41Because it was, let's face it, a terrible tour.
44:43It wasn't, it was great, I loved it.
44:46You walked them around deserted areas, skips.
44:49For most of it, it was like, look at this boarded-up shop.
44:53And then, is this a bank seat? You were clutching.
44:58That just goes to show you how resourceful I am.
45:00I was entertaining, they loved it, trust me, they loved it.
45:04Shirley, it's one of the more random tasks to get somebody to do this.
45:08No, look, all these tasks are not meant to be easy.
45:13And that was not an easy task, as you saw.
45:17So they're all there to test people on putting them in,
45:21what I say is, outside of their comfort zone.
45:24Because we briefly mentioned your background in all this.
45:27The work background we know about, you're working for investment banks
45:30and in that kind of corporate structure.
45:33But it was a, before that again,
45:35something you alluded to a number of times.
45:37At 15, you almost ended up sleeping on the street at one stage?
45:40Well, I had a bit of a tough time and made some mistakes.
45:44But I quickly moved on and realised that I needed to go and get a job
45:48and get educated, so that's what I did.
45:50We have noticed someone's very important in your life.
45:52Those of you who watched the final five, for example,
45:54will know that a major of Stella's great aunt has played in her life.
45:57Stella Brockman is with us tonight.
46:00Hello, how are you?
46:08Now, Stella, I know you've only just found out,
46:11as the rest of us have, that Stella has won.
46:13What is your reaction?
46:15Oh, I'm very proud, very proud, very pleased.
46:18Did you have any doubt?
46:20Not really, not really.
46:22Because she was very determined, she always was.
46:25And how lucky is Lord Sugar to have her as an employee?
46:29I think he's very, very lucky.
46:31I think he'll have a shining beacon in his firm when he gets there.
46:36Stella Brockman, give her a round of applause.
46:46Let's talk quite generally, by the way, about the candidates this year.
46:48How would you rate them compared to other years?
46:50This year, we were delayed a bit,
46:53but the point is that what we thought we would do
46:56is that because of the economic climate out there,
47:00we were trying to give people from all walks of life the opportunity.
47:05So we had candidates here who had just left education.
47:10We had candidates who, regretfully, had been made redundant.
47:15We had some candidates who actually had their own business.
47:20We wanted to mix it up so that we could give people an opportunity.
47:24And that's why the array of candidates was different than we've ever had before.
47:30What is your problem with the name Carol, by the way?
47:33Every week with the cautious Carol.
47:35Did you get dumped by a Carol at one stage?
47:38No, cautious rhymes.
47:40You should know, as a man from Ireland, with your limericks and all that.
47:44It just rhymes.
47:46You can't have a cautious Hillary, can you?
47:49Fair enough. It's a flourish.
47:52I know you want to comment on some of the candidates in more detail.
47:55Let's start with Liz, who was a favoured right from the start.
47:58Synergy came in with £3,760.37.
48:03Well, you won by £500, basically, so well done.
48:10Thank you for being a fabulous team. We did really well.
48:13Cheers to success. Keep it up.
48:16Now, Liz's firing was probably the big surprise moment of the series.
48:20Do you look back on it differently now?
48:22Again, a very bright young lady,
48:24also very good with the numbers and all that type of stuff,
48:27and also has got a bit of a business brain on her.
48:30So all I can say is that I'm not infallible.
48:34Someone pitched up a very good pitch.
48:37I saw a glint in the eye of a young man in an industry that I was in,
48:42and it was a decision I made at the time,
48:45and possibly a wrong decision.
48:47OK, which may bring us on neatly...
48:53..to Stuart, who did make an interesting promise to you
48:56very early in the process.
48:58Yeah, yeah.
48:59Why shouldn't I fire you, Stuart?
49:01If you give me £100,000 a year, I will deliver to you ten times that.
49:04And if I don't, take it back.
49:06I'll give it back to you, a money-back guarantee.
49:08I'm that confident.
49:09I had an offer like that from Nigeria once,
49:11but, sadly, it didn't transpire.
49:15Well, I'm just going to show you how good I am for the BBC
49:20and for the viewing public out there,
49:22because when he made me that offer,
49:24I turned to Nick and I said,
49:26We're done. Come on, let's go.
49:28I've made a million quid. First programme.
49:30Let's get out of here now.
49:32I've got £100,000 guaranteed back, a million pounds.
49:35Let's get out of here right now.
49:37And it was Karen who said to me,
49:39Oh, Alan, please, this is the first time I'm in this show.
49:42I want to do the other...
49:46I want to do the other 11 ones.
49:48So, you know, she convinced me to carry on.
49:53But you did see something of yourself at one stage in Stuart.
49:58I mean, there's fire there behind the eyes.
50:00Yeah, look, the young man, we've had a lot of fun out of him,
50:04and he...
50:06You know, what can I say?
50:08If you could...
50:10You know, when he opens his mouth,
50:12if he could actually cut in half what comes out,
50:15and the half that does come out makes sense,
50:18he's going to go somewhere one day, you know?
50:21Stella, you have taught us one very, very important thing,
50:24which is don't waste time.
50:29Lord Sugar would like you to meet him
50:31at the Fashion Retail Academy.
50:37Oh, God's sake!
50:39Lord Sugar would like you to meet him
50:41at Tower 42 in the City of London.
50:46What's with the phone, then?
50:48Why do you do this naturally?
50:50Is this what you do all the time with the phone?
50:52No, but the thing is, I just have that sense of urgency.
50:55I want to get going. Let's go. Come on.
50:57So slam the phone down, don't waste any time.
51:00Why? A simple thank you for the information,
51:02and I'll get on with my day.
51:04And then the running up the stairs as well, which is quite good.
51:07But you were keen as mussels to get on with the tasks.
51:09Yeah, I didn't want to waste a second.
51:11This year, for the first time, Lord Sugar embarked on a search
51:14for a junior apprentice.
51:16It's an education like no other.
51:18What I'm looking for is that killer instinct,
51:21that spark of genius.
51:23From 28,000 applicants,
51:25ten of Britain's best young business minds have come to London.
51:28You look at me like the head teacher that you love to hate.
51:32Most are still at school.
51:34I'm 16. You can't con a young person.
51:37All have a burning passion for business.
51:39Push the boxes, push the personalisation, push everything we've got.
51:42They're here to compete for a life-changing prize
51:45worth £25,000
51:47to kick-start a business career.
51:50And the junior apprentice candidates are with us tonight.
51:53Where are you?
51:54I've got the hands, cos they're all really young.
51:56Give a round of applause, ladies and gentlemen,
51:58our junior apprentice candidates.
52:04Why did you want to do this particular show?
52:06Well, because the young people of their age group
52:10are the biggest fans of...
52:12Well, I think they're the biggest fans of this show.
52:15I believe, apart from the enjoyment and the fun
52:20that people get out of the programme,
52:22is that it does also instil a culture of enterprise,
52:28and I thought that it was necessary to give the youngsters a chance,
52:32and I think they did very well,
52:34and I think many viewers commented to me
52:37that they did as well, if not better in some cases, than the seniors.
52:41Well, the prize in the junior is a £25,000 fund
52:44to kick-start a building business career.
52:46It was won this time by 17-year-old Arjun Rajagopal.
52:49Arjun, you are the winner of Junior Apprentice 2010.
52:54Well done, mate.
52:56Thanks. Cheers.
53:06Arjun, lovely to have you here.
53:08What have you learned from taking part?
53:10It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
53:12I learnt a lot about myself and a lot about everybody else
53:14that took part in the process.
53:16You learn how to work with other people
53:18and how to work alone at the same time,
53:20and it's something that I would tell anybody in the world to do,
53:22because it's well worth it.
53:24OK, who should be applying for the Junior Apprentice?
53:26Yeah, I mean, they've got to have some kind of flair,
53:30an entrepreneurial spirit there,
53:32and then some desire to want to eventually have a business of their own.
53:36They've just got to be 16 and 17.
53:39You want the exact details, they're on the website,
53:41which we'll show you at the end of the programme.
53:43This year's Apprentice has generated miles of columnatures,
53:45radio and television conversations,
53:47endless web traffic and some pretty funny imitations.
53:50Let's enjoy a few of those.
53:52I only watch sort of things like The Apprentice on the English TV.
53:56It's a good choice.
53:57Actually, if you don't mind, Dan,
53:59just sit up in the conventional way.
54:02Have you seen Stuart Banks? The new David Bent?
54:05Oh, he puffed himself up like a toad.
54:08It's time for another great Comedy Dave game.
54:12It's the Apprentice Weebstick, it is the Apprentice Weebstick.
54:16Shibby!
54:17He, I think, was the one who said that his first word wasn't mummy,
54:20it was money!
54:29Get out of the way, Stuart!
54:31Get out of the way, Stuart!
54:48Have you been watching The Apprentice?
54:50Oh, my goodness, with what they're calling now Lord Sugar.
54:53Now, it was Sir Alan Lord.
54:55Next series will be King Alan, won't it?
54:57That's a lovely corsage.
55:00Wow. Smell it.
55:02Wow, wow, that is very good.
55:04You watch The Apprentice, you're fired.
55:07We noticed that Alex says one phrase an awful lot.
55:10Do you know what? Do you know what?
55:19You're fired, you're fired.
55:21If I like you, you'll like me. You're hired.
55:30We've tried to finish tonight without paying our own tribute to Lord Sugar.
55:34As ever, you've given us a memorable selection of gems this year.
55:38Welcome to my ballroom.
55:40On paper, you all look very good.
55:42But then again, so does fish and chips.
55:45It's super sweet and I don't do life jackets.
55:48Speak when you're spoken to.
55:50Well, domination's taken it a bit far.
55:52I think there was a bloke in Germany once who had a bit of a problem with that.
55:55What is this on here?
55:57Posh Spice?
55:58Yeah, it's an irritant.
55:59It's doing a bloody good job irritating me at the moment.
56:02This is like watching a bunch of bloody amateurs.
56:05You don't have what?
56:06My doctor says to me when I've got a headache,
56:09take two of these and it might go away.
56:11Not no, yes.
56:12Clear off.
56:13No, you can't say anything.
56:14If you're taking so much on board, you sound like a container ship.
56:17The Titanic won 12 Oscars, but it weren't a good advert for cruise ships, was it?
56:22Have you opened your Christmas crackers early this year or what?
56:25You remind me of these knock-off DVDs.
56:27I'm not asking for shouting and screaming.
56:29Great enthusiasm.
56:31Fly's got enthusiasm.
56:32It doesn't stop head-butting the window.
56:34Never mind the pattern on the headboard.
56:35It's the kick-up-the-arse you should worry about.
56:38Where's all the money?
56:40Just shut up for a minute, will you?
56:42I will say one thing which I'd like you to sign on to here.
56:47I would have liked to have been a rocket scientist.
56:52ROCKET SCIENTIST
57:12You have got the top job, but we do want to give you something
57:15just to remember this little show by, and we felt that your sterling work on the tour,
57:19tap-reading aside, felt that the only thing we could do was a little memento of that time.
57:23Just in case you don't find one by chance next time,
57:26it's a Pearlie King's outfit for you to wear,
57:29in honour of your not-actually-cockney-at-all roots,
57:32but nonetheless, ladies and gentlemen,
57:34thank you for 12 incredible weeks that you've given us,
57:37and here are your winning highlights.
57:41If I want something, I'll make sure that I get it.
57:45CHEERING
57:48I like that.
57:50It's all about the winning, isn't it?
57:55She led us to a fantastic victory.
57:59I'm going places.
58:03Foxy Food! Joe, Foxy Food, there!
58:07I really respect Stella.
58:09Exemplary, really.
58:11236 packs.
58:13213 euros.
58:15Just because you're such lovely people, it's not undone.
58:19Thank you very much.
58:21She is an absolute diamond.
58:25Oh, the pressure's on.
58:27Stella has got nerves of steel.
58:29Help!
58:36Shooting star, Stella.
58:38Well done, Stella.
58:40Yes, that's the one.
58:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
58:49Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of The Apprentice 2010,
58:53Stella English.
59:02You're very, very kind.
59:04Thank you to all of my guests tonight.
59:06Stella and Chris will be on BBC Breakfast tomorrow morning
59:09and you'll find exclusive clips on our website at bbc.co.uk
59:12forward slash apprentice
59:14together with information on how to apply for Junior Apprentice.
59:17We've reached the end of our run, but don't despair.
59:19Lord Sugar will be back with another series of The Apprentice
59:22and Junior Apprentice in 2011.
59:24We'd like to wish you a very happy Christmas.
59:26Thank you for watching and see you next year.
59:28Goodnight.
