The Apprentice and Dragons Den have both returned for brand new series from Thursday 5 January, on BBC One and iPlayer. This year eighteen ambitious candidates will battle it out over for a staggering quarter-of-a-million-pound investment with billionaire boss, Lord Alan Sugar. Previously, it was revealed that the contestant’s first task in the new series will be to head to the Caribbean island of Antigua, where they’ll be creating and selling excursions to tourists. Back in the UK, a series of challenges await them, including creating cartoons, hosting immersive events, entering the world of male beauty products, and getting to grips with the street food industry. Also Dragons Den is back with its 20th series of entrepreneur pitching their ideas to grab potential investment from the Dragons. Which one will you be watching?
