Yes

I would because if you are interested in working in the TV industry then there is no better place to start than an apprenticeship in one of the biggest broadcasting companies in the UK.

I would say be confident, don't be afraid to ask questions, give it you're best shot and if you don't get in this time try again on the next round.
