Teenage Apprentice

[Muppet]

From The Mirror:

Sir Alan Sugar has signed a six-figure deal to present a new junior Apprentice show.
The programme for 10 contenders aged 16-17 will begin filming later this year and be screened in 2010.
But Sir Alan will ditch his trademark "You're Fired" catchphrase in case it upsets the youngsters. Sir Alan, 62, said: "A junior format would be exactly the same. But one would have to be very cautious and sympathetic in the way one spoke to them.
"We have to be conscious of not doing anything that could scar a young person."
Five boys and five girls will take part in tasks set by Sir Alan. But instead of landing a job with him, the teenage winner will get a prize "tailored to his or her individual career prospects" and worth up to £25,000.
It is thought that will include paying for training, mentoring or could even help in launching a product or small business. Sir Alan, who left school at 16 and set up his own business, added: "We should be doing more to promote enterprise among young people.
Understandably, the contestants won't have any previous business experience but all I want to see from them is an entrepreneurial aptitude and an enthusiasm to succeed."
Sir Alan has negotiated a new oneyear deal with the BBC but will donate all his fee to charity.

The programme for 10 contenders aged 16-17 ... But Sir Alan will ditch his trademark "You're Fired" catchphrase in case it upsets the youngsters.

They're 16/17, not 6/7 :S Most of them have probably had babies, they aren't going to be any more scared

Sounds like an interesting show anyway, they may do a better job than the sorry lot in the current competition
