Sugar moots junior Apprentice show http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/mar/18/bbc.realitytv

The BBC is in discussions with Sir Alan Sugar about creating a teen version of hit business reality show The Apprentice.
Sugar, speaking at the launch of the fourth series of The Apprentice today, said he wanted to make a programme for young people as they were some of the shows biggest fans. have put the idea forward for a special for teenagers," Sugar added. "I have even gone to the extent of saying you don't need to fire the person. God knows what people would be calling me for firing an 11-year-old child
Format tweaks for the fourth series include the first international challenge for the 16 wannabe entrepreneurs with a buying trip to Morocco.
Four special programmes will also air alongside the main Apprentice series, including a candidate profile show; Why I Fired Them, which will look back on previous candidates who were on the receiving end of Sugar's wrath; The Apprentice: Worst Decisions Ever, featuring candidate cock-ups; and The Apprentice: Motor Mouths, looking back at the best stand-offs

By making a similar programme for teenagers, the show would attract new audiences. But this is also apart of the BBC's policy which is to inform, educate and entertain. This is a new idea as teenagers hoping to be successful in the world of business will have a idea about what it is really like as they would be able to look at different job prospects.
