成人论坛 TWO's hit business entertainment programme, immortalised by Sir Alan Sugar's famous catch phrase 'You're fired', is to move to 成人论坛 ONE when it returns in the New Year.
听
Following the runaway success of the first two series, The Apprentice - produced by talkbackTHAMES - will move to 成人论坛 ONE while The Apprentice: You're Fired, the complementary show presented by Adrian Chiles, will move to 成人论坛 TWO from 成人论坛 THREE.

Roly Keating, Controller of 成人论坛 TWO, says:
"This move is a natural evolution for a great show and reinforces 成人论坛 TWO's reputation as the home of great hits.
听
"We've been proud to help build The Apprentice into one of the most talked-about and successful series of recent years.
听
"We look forward to continuing to be part of The Apprentice experience with You're Fired and to nurturing other powerful business entertainment formats such as Dragons' Den."
听
Peter Fincham, Controller of 成人论坛 ONE, says:
"I'm delighted that The Apprentice is coming to 成人论坛 ONE. It's a strikingly modern and highly compelling series which audiences love, and it's made an unlikely but utterly watchable star out of Sir Alan Sugar. It'll be a real treat for 成人论坛 ONE viewers."

Jana Bennett, 成人论坛 Director of Television, says:
"With creativity and flair, 成人论坛 TWO has successfully grown The Apprentice into a show with mass reach and appeal.
听
"I now believe that it is time for it to fully flourish on the main stage of 成人论坛 ONE. It's very rewarding to see shows grow and find new audiences across the television portfolio in this way."

Lorraine Heggessey, CEO of talkbackTHAMES, says:
"Moving to 成人论坛 ONE is a huge accolade for Sir Alan and the production and we're thrilled to be bringing a business programme to the wider audience of 成人论坛 ONE."
