Series Thirteen of The Apprentice (UK), a British reality television series, began broadcasting in the UK during 2017, from 4 October to 17 December on BBC One.[1] Unlike a number of series before which had both their filming and broadcast schedules altered to ensure the programme could aired without clashing with live TV coverage of major sporting and political events, primarily within the UK, it is the first series to focus its broadcast around late Autumn to early Winter, rather than in Spring as had been done when the programme first premiered. Alongside the standard twelve episodes, the series was preceded by the mini online episode "Meet the Candidates" on 26 September, with two specials aired alongside the series – "The Final Five" on 8 December, and "Why I Fired Them" on 14 December.

Eighteen candidates took part in the thirteenth series,[1] with James White and Sarah Lynn becoming the overall winners, marking it as the first time in the programme's history that a series ended with joint winners.[2] Excluding the specials, the series averaged around 6.94 million viewers during its broadcast.

Series Overview

Applications for the thirteenth series began in late November 2016, towards the end of the twelfth series, with applicants assessed and interviewed by production staff between January and February 2017. Filming took place during Spring to early Summer that year, once the final line-up of eighteen participants had been finalised, with final editing completed before the programme's premiere episode was broadcast in mid-Autumn. Unlike previous series in which the filming schedules had to be rearranged so that the programme's broadcast did not clash with live coverage of major sporting and political events, it was decided that the show maintained its Autumn broadcast as a matter of convenience with the successive rescheduling in past consecutive years after the ninth series. Filming of the first task saw the men name their team Vitality, while the women named their team Graphene.

Of those who took part, both James White and Sarah Lynn would become the eventual winners, an event that marks the first time in the programme's history that Alan Sugar invested in two business partners in the finals as well as choosing joint winners for a series. The aftermath of this result received mixed feedback from viewers and fans of the show. While James would go on to use his investment to start up his IT recruitment firm Right Time Recruitment, Sarah would go on to use her investment to start up an online personalised sweets gift service Sweets in the City.[3]

For their first task, teams must create a range of luxury burgers, selling their creations to customer either packed or cooked. The women create burgers with beef and chicken in them, but while they secure good sales, they use cheap meat for their patties, attempt to improve these they cook with high quality garnishes and buns, and face a slight manufacturing issue. The men create burgers with buffalo and turkey, but secure few sales due to long manufacturing times, relabelling their turkey patties, and choosing poor marketing locations. The women secure victory despite criticism on their creations, leaving the men to face the boardroom over their poor performance. Of the final three, Daniel Grant becomes the first candidate to be fired for his indecisive leadership, poor time management skills and inability to handle the pressure of his role.

|ShortSummary = Teams become interior designers at a five-star hotel, where each must come up with a luxury hotel room concept and pitch their creation to the hotel manager and a leading interior designer. Graphene opt for a golfing themed room that matches what the hotel offers, yet while they negotiating well on furniture so as to keep their concept's costs down, their decorating is poorly conducted, with their design criticised over its choice of furniture and theme. Vitality opt for a British destination theme, managing their decorating efficiently, yet make poor negotiation on furniture and deliver a poor pitch, while facing criticism on their wallpaper design and prop piece. As neither the manager or the designer approve of either design, Lord Sugar makes the decision and shows approval of Graphene's concept, leaving Vitality to face scrutiny of their design and its costs. Amongst the losing team, Jeff Wan is dismissed for his lack of contributions and not performing his assigned role properly.

|ShortSummary = Robots are the basis of the next task, as one half of each team sells a new line of robot toys, while the other create a new prototype robot with unique programming and pitch it to major retailers. Graphene sell a range of flying robot toys, while opt for promoting a concept of new educational robot that uses a unique teaching style, managing good sales of toys and large orders for their prototype, despite in-fighting amongst team members. Vitality sell a range of balancing robot toys, while opt for promoting a concept of senior socialising robot capable of teaching yoga positions and providing vocal reminders, yet while they make good sales on their choice of toys, the prototype receives no orders due to their poor pitches and the overall concept being overwhelmingly disliked. Graphene win the task with their performance, leaving Vitality to face questions over their flawed robot concept. Of the final three, Elliot Van Emden is ejected from the process for falsely claiming credit on the team's choice of toy, and his lack of contributions in tasks.

Graphene manage good sales of their chosen snacks and achieve excellent customer satisfaction ratings from their clients, yet their efforts are hampered by one member not being supplied any costing information that results in them supplying their VIP box with unlimited drinks. Vitality focus on keeping costs down, but although they lack a pricing strategy with their snacks and make some mistakes while serving their clients, they manage the task proficiently due to a strong strategy. Graphene soon face questions in the boardroom when their lack of strategy leave them earning less profit than Vitality. Amongst the final three, Siobhan Smith is fired for providing a poor strategy, contributing to key mistakes in the team's performance, and failing a task she was qualified to lead.

Vitality focus on sourcing their purchases on the outskirts of the city, managing to secure six items, yet are hampered by wasting time with a gamble that backfires and a lack of focus on high value items. Graphene focus on quick research before leaving and conducting more on the move, securing all nine items despite paying more for some purchases and being fined for lateness. Vitality face questions over their performance, after their total spend is greater than that made by Graphene, despite the winning team being questioned over some of their purchases.

Vitality focus on a historical city tour with a beer tasting session, managing their costs and achieving reasonable ticket sales, but face poor feedback of their tour from their tourists while receiving few sales on their keychain souvenirs. Although both teams are made to give refunds, Graphene are praised on their overall effort, leaving Vitality to face questions on their poor decisions.

Graphene opt for their concept to brand the car for families, but face issues from a lack of co-ordination, using the wrong filming location for their TV advert, and delivering a poor pitch, with the experts criticising the branding and advertising. Vitality opt for their concept to brand the car for young women, yet despite issues from problematic members, and the experts raising concerns over their digital billboard and branding, they praise their well-conceived TV advert. Feedback from the experts leaves Lord Sugar deeming Vitality's concept to be a success, leaving Graphene to face criticism over their flawed creation.

Graphene conduct a mobile photoshoot service and operate a canine agility course, yet despite the mobile team conducting a sub-standard service, the training team provide a healthy income from selling canine products at their facility. While Graphene are praised on their business strategy, Vitality face further scrutiny of their performance in the boardroom.

Graphene focus on a salmon rissoto gourmet meal kit, yet despite providing a clear recipe with photos to compliment it, their presentation is panned by the experts, who criticise the branding and raise questions over making their kit. Votes made by the experts reveal that Vitality's concept was well-received, leaving Graphene to face questions over their performance in the task. Amongst the final three, Bushra Shaikh is fired for her team's poor presentation and her lack of contributions in tasks.

Graphene represent a collection of affordable dresses for a 17% commission on each sale, yet despite a poor magazine cover design and aggressive sales tactics of one member, the team secure a large amount of purchases. Vitality soon face questions on their decisions after Graphene are praised for their high overall commissions total. Amongst the losing team, Harrison Jones is fired for his lack of sales and contributions alongside raising questions on his track record, while Jade English is dismissed for her choice of designer, and her poor presentation and negotiation skills that contributed to the team's loss.

Each member faces scrutiny over their backgrounds, work experience, track record, and business proposals when questioned by interviewers. Feedback to Lord Sugar, alongside observations by his aides, leads him to deciding that the lack of experience for her proposal's associated industry makes Joanna Jarjue no longer viable for his investment, while Elizabeth McKenna is dismissed for the lack of scale-ability in her proposal alongside her confrontational attitude, with Michaela Wain fired for lacking the needed focus for her proposed business and her confusing responses to the interviewers' questions. Of the remaining two, despite some concerns on each, James White is praised for his background and proposal, while Sarah Lynn receives good feedback on demonstrating a number of notable business qualities.

|ShortSummary = After facing a multitude of business tasks and a tough interview, the two finalists, aided by old friends, face the task of presenting their business proposal to an audience of business and industry experts, detailing key areas in it – its name, its goals, its target market, and its business structure. James works to present his plan for an IT recruitment firm, yet despite a good presentation and promotional material, alongside his positive enthusiasm, the experts raise concerns over the USP of his brand and the competitive market he would be entering. Sarah works to present her plans for an online personalised-gift sweet business, receiving positive feedback on her presentation, promotional material and potential of her concept, despite questions being raised over the scale-ability of her new business. Based on feedback from these presentations, Lord Sugar deems he will invest in both, declaring that James White and Sarah Lynn will both be his business partners for 2017, based on positive traits of each finalist's proposal.
