Why I Fired Them

Episode 13 of 14

With Lord Sugar on the cusp of choosing his new business partner, we look back on the candidates who fell before the final hurdle.

With Lord Sugar on the cusp of choosing his new business partner, we look back on the candidates who fell before the final hurdle and the tasks that took them to the brink.

In this landmark 15th year, the candidates sought sales on a South African safari, rebranded the country of Finland, accidentally made rude-looking lollies for a corporate client and made a turtle talk. They sold silver service on a steam train, encountered the twists and turns of rollercoaster design and created their own brand of perfume. Their trials and errors have made us chuckle, cry and cringe.

Lord Sugar leads us through the best and worst decisions made by this year’s aspiring entrepreneurs. Reflecting on their boardroom bust-ups, he lets us in on the reasons he decided to utter the dreaded words, ‘You’re Fired!’
