Yes, i'm looking forward to it too.
Lord Alan Sugar has unveiled the 12 contestants who will battle it out on this year's series of Young Apprentice.
Hoping to win a ÂĢ25,000 business development fund to kick-start their careers, the eclectic bunch hail from not only every corner of the UK, but also Kenya and Paris.
And with a former chip shop worker, a ukulele player and a fashion designer among the group, the eight episodes look set to make for interesting viewing.
High-achievers: Lord Alan Sugar, assisted by his no-nonsense advisers Nick Hewer and Karren Brady, will choose one young business brain as the winner of a ÂĢ25,000 career-development fund on this year's Young Apprentice
Former Head Girl and budding politician Navdeep Bual is already a high-achiever at the tender age of 16, not only having met former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, but also being the UKâs Young Ambassador for the Global Campaign for Education.
Navdeep - whose ultimate aim is to work for the UN - said: 'Iâm probably the most competitive person I know but I see that as a brilliant thing because I thrive in competition. I think without it life would be pretty dull.'
Maria Doran may be a bubbly Irish girl with a passion for the theatre, but she warned the worst thing for her competitors to do would be to 'underestimate' her.
Business brains: Navdeep Bual (L) is UKâs Young Ambassador for the Global Campaign for Education, while Maria Doran (R) warned she has the 'heart of a lioness'
She said: 'Iâm 5â1â and look like a little angel but believe me I have the heart of a lioness and will take apart anybody that tries to mess with me.'
Farmer's daughter Alice Smith has already earned herself a steady income by selling free-range eggs from the chickens on her farm in between her jobs as a waitress and working in a golf shop.
Meanwhile, Londoner Amy Corrigan's first job was working in a fish and chip shop, but she is already dreaming of the high life, and hopes to open her own nightclub one day.

Inspired by fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, Ashleigh Porter-Exley has been in employment since she was just 13, while Paris-born Lucy Beauvallet boasts being bilingual and owning her own cake business as among her many talents.
When it comes to the boys, Kenyan-born David Odhiambo still does a paper round at the age of 17, despite already having chaired a number of committees and confessing to being a 'megalomaniac'.
He said: 'I have a disease called megalomania; this is a condition that means I am highly obsessed with wealth, power and omnipotence.'

Elsewhere, at the tender age of 16, Max Grodecki trades vintage clothes and collectables, and has already made more than ÂĢ1,000 after selling an unidentified Lowry sketch.
Steven Cole set up his first business at the age of 13, and has the lofty aim of hoping to have made ÂĢ10 million by the age of 27.
Meanwhile, Wirral-based fashion designer Patrick McDowell was the youngest-ever recipient of the Young Textiles Designer of the Year at the age of 13, and boasts playing the euphonium and the baritone horn, as well as being in a brass band and swing band, as among his musical talents.
Cut-throat: Kenyan-born David Odhiambo (L) describes himself as 'highly obsessed with wealth, power and omnipotence', while Max Grodecki (R) already trades vintage clothes , art and collectables at the tender age of 16
But he's not the only Young Apprentice contestant to have already got an award under his belt.
Sean Spooner was named the World's Youngest publisher after setting up a magazine at the age of 14, while Huddersfield-born Andrew Tindall first started making money from his charity-based greeting cards business at the age of 10.
He warned: 'Itâs not a team game; itâs working together but for me to win.'
Competitive: Steven Cole (L) set up his first business at the age of 13, while Wirral-based fashion designer Patrick McDowell (R) was the youngest-ever recipient of the Young Textiles Designer of the Year
The cut-throat competition will see the youngsters battle it out in a series of tasks designed to test their business acumen, including designing a new cookbook, sourcing props for the English National Opera and branding a hair-styling product.
Once again, the group will have a taste of the good life by living in a luxury mansion in Hampstead, North London, as they prepare to face multi-millionaire technology mogul Lord Sugar and his no-nonsense advisers Nick Hewer and Karren Brady in the boardroom each week.
Future stars? Sean Spooner (L) was named the World's Youngest publisher after setting up a magazine at the age of 14, while Huddersfield-born Andrew Tindall (R) first started making money at the age of 10
Lord Sugar tells the hopefuls in the first episode: 'Weâve got whole countries going bankrupt and I believe it is young people like you who will bring prosperity back to this country.
'I donât like teacherâs pets and I donât like school bullies. This is about the real world. Iâm not making you sit exams â the only grade youâll get here is âFâ for Fired.'
Young Apprentice starts on November 1 at 8pm on BBC One.

I have just checked out the contestants above and I can honestly say I think one of them will win.
One of the girls, they always seem the better candidates to me.
And I wish they would pay for some tailored clothes. One of the guy's looks like his suit has been bought to grow into.
Looking forward to it though.
The Young Apprentice 2012 kicks off this week, and Sean Spooner reckons heâs already got something up on his rivals.
The 16-year-old was previously named the worldâs youngest publisher after starting a magazine with his school friend aged 14.
In his audition, the teen boasts: âIâve had businesses, Iâve sold businesses. Iâve spoken to clients. Iâve done a lot more than most people.
âAnd equally there are still lessons to learn.â
Sean continues: âIâm not a normal 16-year-old. Most people are going out and getitng drunk while Iâm sat at home writing an article or something.â
The Young Apprentice 2012 kicks off this week, and one candidate whoâs sure to cause chatter is Lucy Beauvallet.
The 16-year-old claims in her audition: âIâm not into backstabbing, Iâm not into playing games.â
She continues: âI do put work above everything because it really is what drives me, I have great business ideas.â
âIâm really interesting,â says Lucy. âIâm slightly manipulative, maybe a bit bossy, but I think thatâs quite good.â
Filling her quota of soundbites that will probably end up coming back to haunt her, Lucy adds: âItâs my way or the highway.â

Can we have this thread stickied for those who'll be watching please?
Just realised it's the first of November today!
The thread is now actually stickied to 'The Apprentice' forum with a shortcut in the BB Forum. However if that gets too awkward we can look at re-arranging things.
Thanks Mystery Mod
Thanks Mystery Mod
EDIT.. no longer a mystery... cheers, Fluffs
it's confusing me already....
I only ever post in the BB forum and it need to go all round the houses to get back there when I've posted in this thread.
Och, I don't know, these helpless folk!
Just for you, I'll put it back in the BB forum - with a link the other way.
It'll disappear again for a wee while!
you're a star Fluffs, thanks!
After all that.. I hope someone's watching with me.
Ahhh, teenagers
Ahh... another viewer! ello cosi
After all that.. I hope someone's watching with me.
Me, of course! You don't think I went through all that for nothing, do you?

He reminds me of BB Luke (Puke 'n Bex) with a smattering of Patrick Kielty.

Max is slimey.
sorry - I know he's a kid, but I think he'll end up in politics.
Well done girls.
I'm surprised they actually made as much as they did!
Sir Al really is amused by his own witty comments.
Fantastic! I'd have loved that boat ride.
Stirring their black coffees... and you just know that they really want a Fruit Shoot.

Until next week then
thanks for the company, ladies - see you next week.
Wonder if there'll be more than three of us next time - with a cameo appearance by Hoochie.
We stickied it 5 hours ago Baz, you've just not been paying attention!
And I can just imagine what Renton'll say to that. Cocoa anyone?

**I'll be there** (sang in my best Jackson 5 voice).
First time I've watched the teenie tot version. Where the hell do they find these kids? Never seen such confident, blustering full of spiel teenagers in my life. I was still hiding behind a fringe and mumbling in to my sleeve at that age.
I see Lily Allen and her sister's overpriced vintage shop is still in business (the sister was the one telling them anything by Ossie Clark and Biba darrrling).
Will be keeping a look out in Shoreditch for some sad sack wearing a wet suit/kimono hybrid. I think my favourite is that baby publisher whose clothes and hair are too big for him.

Awwwwww he looks like he's just left junior school. And the poor boy with spots - I want to e mail him - I know of a fantastic spot cream.
