Week 1 - Rags to Riches

New series. Alan Sugar plucks another 12 young entrepreneurs from the classroom and gives them the opportunity to win a £25,000 fund to kick-start a future career in business. The teenage tycoons span a wide range of backgrounds, from council estates to private schools, and include a fashion designer, a trainee accountant, an events promoter and a farmer's daughter. Their first task harks back to Lord Sugar's early forays into the rag trade, as each team is presented with a ton of discarded clothes which they must sort, clean and sell to the public for the highest profit. But with money in the budget to customise their gear, some of the contestants splash out on grand designs, while others keep it simple.
