The Final Countdown

The Final Countdown

Week 11 At last! The thrilling climax of The Apprentice series four is here - and it's a classic. The four remaining candidates have given everything up for this all-important shot at becoming Sir Alan's Apprentice.

Now, having endured the toughest job interview known to man, one final task must decide which exhausted, elated candidate will secure the job of their dreams.

For the first time ever, not two but four candidates face this hurdle. But as usual, some favourite faces from the series will return to aid the candidates in their last mammoth effort. You can be sure there are plenty of unmissable moments, as well as lots of dramas, along the way!

In the final, the candidates are charged with creating a fragrance for the men's perfume market. Working in pairs and backed by teams of previously-fired candidates, they push themselves to the brink in order to win the task - and ultimately, the series.

As usual, The Apprentice website has three fresh preview clips to give you a taste of the action. The first clip sees the team led by Helene and Alex getting to grips with the perfumery task. Returning team member Kevin is back in full force. Boy, does he have plenty to say!

Finalist Lee McQueen may come across as a no-nonsense London lad but there is obviously more to him than meets the eye. Preview clip two shows Lee directing an advertisement for the scent produced by the team he co-leads with Claire. He's happy to share his tips on the art of love to get a passionate performance from his ad's stars!

Our third clip also features Lee. We saw him crumble when he gave a presentation during the tissue task fiasco, and with another presentation ahead, he is hit by last minute nerves. Running dangerously short of preparation time, he heads off for a few minutes on his own... but is he able to rescue the situation, or should he just accept his fate?

Too little, too late?Lee's last minute preparation for the pitch leaves Claire worried.

Don't forget that The Apprentice: The Final is on BBC One at 9pm, Wednesday 11 June. An extra special The Apprentice: You're Fired follows on  BBC Two at 10pm, before we meet the winner on the celebratory show, The Apprentice: You're Hired at 10.40pm back on BBC One.

If you miss them, you can watch in full on BBC Two on Friday June 13, or on your PC on BBC iplayer.
