Trouble at the Top was a business-based BBC television fly on the wall documentary broadcast on BBC2.[1][2] The series focussed on business failings or disputes between business people. Mainly the series depicted half-hour documentaries on large businesses such as Sainsbury's or privately owned ventures. It also featured a number of celebrity-based editions such as Chef Gordon Ramsay, supermodel Jodie Kidd and even pop group Bucks Fizz.[3] The series ran for 11 seasons from 1997 to 2007 and helped inspire the 2005 movie Kinky Boots. Trouble at the Top also reportedly inspired TV producer Mark Burnett to make "The Apprentice" which debuted in the USA in 2004. [4]

A spin off four-part series, , followed developments at the Millennium Dome in a similar style.
