The thirteenth series of British reality television series The Apprentice (UK) was broadcast in the UK on BBC One, from 4 October to 17 December 2017.[1] Unlike a number of series before which had both their filming and broadcast schedules altered to ensure the programme could aired without clashing with live TV coverage of major sporting and political events, primarily within the UK, it is the first series to focus its broadcast around late Autumn to early Winter, rather than in Spring as had been done when the programme first premiered. Alongside the standard twelve episodes, the series was preceded by the mini online episode "Meet the Candidates" on 26 September, with two specials aired alongside the series – "The Final Five" on 8 December, and "Why I Fired Them" on 14 December.
Eighteen candidates took part in the thirteenth series,[2] with James White and Sarah Lynn becoming the overall winners, marking it as the first time in the programme's history that a series ended with joint winners.[3] Excluding the specials, the series averaged around 6.94 million viewers during its broadcast.
