Series 2 begins next Monday (24 October)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b016kgww

The boardroom will soon be open to receive the young hopefuls all eager to impress Lord Sugar with their business acumen.

The identities of the candidates will be revealed on here, the official website, on Tuesday 18th October - so make sure you come back for the unveiling. You will be able to view exclusive audition videos of the contestants and read their biogs before the show starts on BBC One the following week

In the first episode, The boys are pitted against the girls in a race to create a range of frozen treats.

Have to say, I'm looking forward to this, as I really enoyed the first series.

I like The Apprentice but have no interest in watching a bunch of kids on it for some reason. Barely watched the first series.

Althtough this year's crowd seem a bit older than last year's. Looks more like teen Apprentice this year.

Not sure which apprentice to watch next week so

StephenHendry · 20-10-2011 11:29am

I set up a thread for this week lads

SuperInfinity · 24-10-2011 10:24pm

I have no idea why any adult would be interested in this.

Have you watched it? It's far more entertaining than the Irish adult version, imo.

I thought the lads were unlucky losing that one, to be fair. The Irish guy is incredibly annoying and should have gone instead of Mohammed, who was marginally less annoying.

I wonder why Karen didn't chip in and settle the argument over whose idea the pirate theme was. I was almost sure it was Mohammed's idea....

efb · 31-10-2011 10:02pm

anyone watching this?

Motley Crue · 31-10-2011 10:02pm

Not usually home for this, good ole bank holiday, loved last years, looking forward to it. Did I hear an Irish accent in the recap of last week?

efb · 31-10-2011 10:18pm

As soon as he said that Ben (?) had assisted people I knew he was a gonna

Harry seems very confident, will try and catch it again next week, the young ones are more astute than the adults. See you next week hopefully.

I have to say I loved the mantel piece flower display….never laughed so much. Also rainforest chic…loved it.

Awww...I'm loving this series.

I do watch TV3's 'The Apprentice' - because it's Irish, but the BBC's Young Apprentice is far superior this time.

The characters are so entertaining - the boys aren't backward about coming forward, and mostly they talk a load of poo, but it's hilarious! The Northern Irish lad is a plonker - but is becoming somewhat of a loveable rogue, because he's a funny chancer.

Some of the candidates are REALLY impressive - that one Zara - she's SO confident, and articulate - but perhaps it's take more than words and confidence to win the prize.

The aerial shots are breathtaking - for those alone, it's worth watching!

And lastly - sorry, TV3 - but it's great to have no long ad breaks, and no 'lectures' about how great the sponsors/firms being featured are. Obviously, TV3 do the best with what they've got, and they haven't got a fraction of the resources available to the Beeb.

Last year, I felt that the Irish version stood up the UK one - maybe we have Panis the Greek to thank for that - but my goodness, this year, the Young Apprentice is in a league of its own.

Because the tasks are on a par with the adult version, and quite frankly, most of the teens in this show would wipe the floor with many of the candidates in the adult version - and possibly almost all of the candidates in the Irish series.

100% agreed. This years Irish crew are mostly useless and they should be forced to watch these kids and learn how it's done. Normally I enjoy all the shows on the same level but this year jnr is kicking the Irish versions ass.

is this repeated on any night. I am so over the irish one - if this is all they can offer as the best in the country then we really are feckked. didn't even bother trying to remember their names this year.

I don't think the Junior Apprentice is repeated at all. What you could do if you have SKY+ or UPC, is record the Irish Apprentice and watch the Junior Apprentice.

Our Sky box can record the two shows simultaneously. Try record two programmes at the same time for a test run. I found out by accident! :P

You have to watch one of them though or leave it on one of the channels.......you can't record two and watch a third if you get me.

Their's a Dual platter HDD in the newer boxes, that's how it works.
