The Apprentice (British series 16)

The sixteenth series of British reality television series The Apprentice (UK) is scheduled to premiere on 6 January 2022 in the UK on BBC One.[1] It will be the first series to be broadcast since the COVID-19 pandemic, with filming originally planned to begin in Spring 2020, however the pandemic forced the BBC to postpone production until the following year. The BBC instead aired six special compilation episodes featuring highlights from previous series which aired from 1 October to 5 November 2020.[2][3][4] The series will feature sixteen candidates and will see Tim Campbell, the winner of the first series replace Claude Littner as Lord Sugar's aide, after Littner suffered an injury whilst cycling.[5]
