Tonight viewers will see Alan Sugar set the hopefuls on their penultimate challenge, to select products to sell at WOMAD at two trader stalls. As the blurb says, "One trio believe they will clean up with a pedal-powered washing machine, while the other three are sure there is nothing the festival-goers will want more than a portable toilet."

They even tried to sell their wares - a onesy, and shooting stick umbrella to eFestivals staff who were there at this year's sun drenched festival.

So tune in at 8pm tonight on BBC1 and perhaps you'll spot us on the programme, or even regular WOMADite Prince Harry who was also on site over the weekend.

2012 was a landmark year for WOMAD as it celebrated its 30th anniversary with its biggest festival yet on home soil. 2013's festival promises to be no different, presenting the most eclectic line-up anywhere in the UK next summer at the picturesque site from Friday 26th to Sunday 28th July 2013, with early entry available on Thursday.

Early bird weekend tickets for next year - which are valid from the Friday until Sunday are priced at £125 (Thursday arrivals will also need a Thursday camping ticket costing £25).
