The Apprentice: You're Fired! host explains about the content of the upcoming programme, and often uses at least one humorous highlight taken from the recent episode of "The Apprentice". Initially, the format of this segment during Adrian Chiles' tenure was to conduct the introduction within the audience before making his way to his seat on the main stage, but this was later changed early into Dara O'Briain's tenure, who simply made the introduction from the main stage; only rarely did he revert to using the previous format for introducing the show. After his departure, the format was altered for Jack Dee's short tenure on
The Magician's Apprentice (Doctor Who) in the Series 4 episode "The Stolen Earth", with Julian Bleach also having appeared as Davros in that episode and its conclusion, "Journey's End". Clare Higgins played Ohila of the Sisterhood of Karn in the mini-episode "The Night of the Doctor", which was part of the 50th Anniversary specials in 2013, and again in the season finale "Hell Bent". Jami Reid-Quarrell made a subsequent appearance as "The Veil" in "Heaven Sent", the penultimate episode of Series 9. The trailer for the episode was released on 5 September 2015. A cinema screening of "The Magician's Apprentice" was held on 27 August
