MUMBAI: BBC has announced that its channel BBC Three has commissioned a season of programmes that will explore the complexities of sex and sexuality through a range of different viewpoints, from the scientist and the historian to the virgin, the lap dancer and the comedian.

The three-part series, ‘How Sex Works‘, will combine real life stories, science and computer graphics to tell the story of the science behind sex. Inside the human body with CGI, the series will explore the physiological, neurological and psychological changes that happen before, during and after sex to investigate the science of lust and the mechanics of sex itself.

BBC Three controller Zai Bennett said, "Sex is on all young adults‘ minds and we hope this major new season will encourage our audience to look at it from a variety of viewpoints. We aim to expose our viewers to a range of perspectives, some of which might be at odds with each other, but most importantly we want our viewers to watch these programmes and form their own opinions." 

Other programmes in the season include a one-off documentary in which Cherry Healey explores why losing your virginity is such an important experience and is about so much more than sex; Web Sex ? Where‘s The Harm?, in which ex-Hollyoaks star Nathalie Emmanuel investigates how the Internet is changing the love lives of 16-24 year olds, revealing for the first time figures from an academic study which indicates what proportion of this age group are using the Internet for sexual purposes; and Jeff Leach ? Am I A Sex Addict?, a heartfelt and at times funny journey into Jeff‘s sexual history in which he meets some of the women who have known him best and asks whether he can change his ways.

Also included in the season are: ‘Coming Out Diaries‘. This is an observational documentary following the journeys of young people as they go through key moments of sexual discovery. ‘Undressed‘ is look at the lap-dancing industry through the stories of some of the young women who work in one of Britain‘s biggest chains of clubs. ‘The Sex Stories That Changed Britain‘ will offer a look back at the stories, scandals and events from the past 40 years that have changed the nation‘s behaviour and attitude to all things sex.

BBC Documentaries commissioning executive Samantha Anstiss said, "Sex is a complex and perennially interesting subject, and one worthy of intelligent and thought-provoking exploration. Many BBC Three viewers are well informed about sex, but I hope that programmes like ‘How Sex Works‘, ‘Coming Out Diaries‘ and ‘Am I A Sex Addict?‘ will provide a fresh and unexpected point of view that is relevant to their lives."

MUMBAI: BBC has announced that following the success of the first series, Lord Sugar returns with his search for a Young Apprentice on BBC One this year.

A supporter of young people in business, Lord Sugar will offer 12 of the UK?s most promising and ambitious teenagers the opportunity of a lifetime: a chance to follow in his entrepreneurial footsteps by competing for the title of Young Apprentice.

For eight weeks, 12 young candidates will make the leap from classroom to boardroom and face an education like no other as they embark on a series of tough tasks, pushing their skills to the limit. The young candidates will face the same cut-throat competition as in the adult series ? it?s survival of the fittest as the tasks become more challenging.

From all corners of the UK, each of the aspiring moguls have been selected for their academic flair and burning passion for business ? Lord Sugar has spotted something in all of them, but only one can succeed in becoming the next Young Apprentice.

Aged across 16 and 17 years old, most of these tycoons of tomorrow are still in education and span a broad range of backgrounds from council estates to private schools; they include an award-winning fashion designer, a young farmer, a published author, a filmmaker, a keen horticulturalist, a photographer and a former head-girl.

Lord Sugar started in business at the same age and expects his prospects to be able to do the same. They believe that they have the capability, passion and raw business talent to take on the challenge and be the one to win access to a fund worth ?25,000. The fund will go towards kick-starting his or her business career, and will be tailored to their individual career prospects and development.

All think they have what it takes, but can they prove themselves when the pressure is on?

Lord Sugar warns them: "You are young, don?t try and pretend like you know it all because believe me it?ll be embarrassing."

With tasks including making and selling ice cream, launching a new brand of deodorant and creating an online video game, the candidates will quickly learn that Lord Sugar doesn?t hang about when it comes to separating the wheat from the chaff.

Lord Sugar is, once again, aided by his no-nonsense advisers Nick Hewer and Karren Brady who will scrutinise the candidates? every move during the weekly tasks.

They will live in a luxurious townhouse in St John?s Wood, North London, giving them a taste of the lavish lives they dream of. For some, it?s their first time away from home, but for all it?s the chance to experience what life could be like as a high flyer.

When the winner is crowned, they will be given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be mentored by Britain?s most famous boss.
