The Apprentice (British TV series) series 3

The third series of British reality television series The Apprentice (UK) was broadcast in the UK on BBC One, from 28 March to 13 June 2007. Following favourable ratings of the previous two series, the BBC moved the programme from its original home on BBC Two to BBC One, with its companion discussion show The Apprentice: You're Fired! being reallocated to BBC Two from BBC Three. For this series, Alan Sugar commented that its production would include "tougher tasks and better people" as a means of making the programme stand out from other shows like Big Brother. Alongside the usual twelve episodes, the series also featured two specials – the first, titled "Beyond the Boardroom", was aired on 3 June prior to the eleventh episode; the second, titled "Why I Fired Them", was aired on 10 June prior to the broadcast of the series finale.

The series involved 16 candidates, with Simon Ambrose crowned the eventual winner. Excluding the specials, the series averaged around 5.62 million viewers during its broadcast. The third series saw Sugar face accusations of sexism from several groups, later denying these claims.
