Amol Rajan sits down with Lord Alan Sugar to discuss the future of Britain and explore the incredible past that made him one of the UK鈥檚 greatest entrepreneurs.

Lord Alan Sugar, a man famed for his straight-talking and no-nonsense approach to interviews, sits down with Amol Rajan to discuss the future of Britain and his own incredible career.

Arguably the UK's most famous rags to riches story, he was the working-class kid from Hackney who went on to become a billionaire with a seat in the Lords and his face all over television.

An electronics entrepreneur who piled them high and sold them cheap, he gave the man on the street access first to his famous hi-fi tower, and then the Amstrad home computer. And it was Lord Sugar who changed the face of suburbia by making satellite dishes for Sky.

Now, more than half a century since he launched himself on the business world, what does the host of The Apprentice think about the current state of the country where he鈥檚 achieved so much? And what insights can he share about the path forward for Britain's economy, British businesses, and British society?

In a wide-ranging interview exploring his greatest triumphs and his greatest regrets - from the highs of high society to the lows of leading Tottenham Hotspur - Amol Rajan seeks to reveal the man behind the sometimes blunt public figure. His views are often controversial, but could Lord Sugar hold the secrets to success? And are there a few more deals yet to be done before the 77-year-old calls it a day?
