Trouble at the Top is 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 pop group Bucks Fizz.[3] The series ran for 11 seasons from 1997 to 2007.

The 2005 movie Kinky Boots was inspired by an episode about W.J. Brooks Ltd, a family-controlled Earls Barton, Northamptonshire shoe factory whose 'Divine' product line consisted of traditionally feminine footwear marketed towards men.[4]

Trouble at the Top reportedly inspired TV producer Mark Burnett to make The Apprentice, which debuted in the US in 2004.[5]

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