The Apprentice (British TV series) series 10
The tenth series of British reality television series The Apprentice was broadcast in the UK on BBC One from 14 October to 21 December 2014. Due to live coverage in summer of that year for both the FIFA World Cup and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, the BBC postponed the series' broadcast until autumn to avoid schedule clashing. It is the last series to feature Nick Hewer as Alan Sugar's aide, who left the programme following the series finale. Ricky Martin, winner of the eighth series, appears as an interviewer in the Interviews Stage.
Alongside the standard twelve episodes, with the first two airing on consecutive days, the series featured two specials before its premiere – "Meet the Candidates", made available online only on 7 October; and "Ten Years of The Apprentice" on 13 October. Later in the series, two further specials also aired – "The Final Five" on 16 December; and "Why I Fired Them" on 18 December.
This series featured twenty candidates, the highest number of any variation of The Apprentice globally, with Mark Wright becoming the overall winner. Excluding specials, the series averaged around 7.40 million viewers during its broadcast.
Applications for the tenth series opened in Spring 2013, towards the end of the ninth series' broadcast, with the selection process of auditions, assessments and interviews held during the summer of that year. As The Apprentice was now entering its tenth year, the anniversary was commemorated in subtle ways throughout the programme - the first sales task and the subsequent bargain-hunting task featured items from previous series' challenges. The decision to increase the number of candidates allowed Sugar to perform more multiple firings than before, allowing for the series to include a triple firing outside of the Interviews stage, for the first time in the series' history.
During filming, Nick Hewer began to contemplate his future on the programme, after finding the filming schedule tiring and intense. After considering his other commitments, including his new role as host of Channel 4's Countdown, he eventually decided that the tenth series would be his last on The Apprentice, revealing his decision towards the end of the tenth series' broadcast, with it fully confirmed by Sugar on social media and the series finale of You're Fired.[non-primary source needed] Apart from Hewer, Margaret Mountford also decided not to return in her role as an interviewer, a post she had held for the previous four series; she was replaced by series eight winner, Ricky Martin.
Owing to the live coverage of two major sporting events in 2014 – the FIFA World Cup and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, the BBC was forced to broadcast the series in the autumn, to avoid schedule clashes. The series premiere was preceded by a special, entitled "Ten Years of The Apprentice", a retrospective on the past nine series. In addition, this series featured the online exclusive mini episode, "Meet the Candidates", which introduced the series' candidates and even showed their audition tapes; it was hosted by comedian Matt Edmondson.
The team names for this series were Summit and Tenacity. Of those who took part, Mark Wright would become the eventual winner, going on to use his prize to start up an SEO business called Climb Online.
