Filming for popular television show takes place in centre of Stratford
FILMING of The Apprentice rolled into Stratford on Saturday (4th May) causing a stir in Henley Street and Meer Street.
Baroness Karren Brady was spotted with a group of contestants being filmed during a task for the BBC One show in which the winner is given a £250,000 investment to put into a business idea by Lord Alan Sugar.
While no further details were available about exactly what the would-be apprentices were up to, there was speculation on social media that, this being Stratford, there would be either a tourist connection or something to do with Shakespeare.
Filming was reportedly also taking place at Warwick Castle.
There was general surprise that filming for the next series was already taking place – the last series was only broadcast earlier this year.
However, one person quipped: “It’s usually filmed this time of year. It takes five or six weeks to film, then the next four months editing it all to make the candidates appear as ridiculous as possible.”
