How to watch The Apprentice series 20?
The show has been a fixture on the BBC for two decades at this point. However, it has moved channels over the years.

When does The Apprentice series 20 start?
With the Traitors having finished its blockbuster latest series last week, The Apprentice is finally about to begin its new season. A celebrity Christmas special was broadcast over the festive period - and might have whetted your appetite for more.
Series 20 of The Apprentice is set to begin today (January 29) and it will air weekly on Thursday nights. Ever since 2018, each season has had 12 episodes in total - so expect it to continue until April.
What to expect from The Apprentice tonight?
To kick off this landmark edition of the reality series, the show is getting very international. The candidates are being sent to Hong Kong and even the boardroom will take place in the former British territory.
The preview for episode one, via Radio Times, reads: “The hunt is on for Lord Sugar's next business partner, as a new batch of hopefuls jet off to Hong Kong on a mission to secure nine items at knock-down prices.
“Under the watchful eye of aides Karren Brady and Tim Campbell, they are split into teams and must juggle unknown geography, tight deadlines and business basics on a mission to secure nine items at knock-down prices. The boardroom later sees one of them depart the process at the earliest possible moment.”
