The Real Sir Alan Sugar

The Real Sir Alan Sugar. Depicting his rise from beetroot vendor to electronics multimillionaire, this program profiles Sir Alan Sugar and his emergence as Britain’s answer to Donald Trump. Viewers learn how “Suralan” parlayed his gift for salesmanship into the U.K.’s most profitable computer company, Amstrad—only to watch its profits disappear during the 1980s and ’90s. The program also shows how the entrepreneur rebounded to become a mover and shaker in British football’s Premier League as well as a real estate tycoon and television star. Includes interviews with Sugar family members and former Amstrad officials, in addition to comments from Rupert Murdoch and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
