Was Series 6 filmed before Junior Apprentice Series 1?

I noticed a discrepancy in Series 6 recently that suggests that it was actually filmed before the first series of Junior Apprentice (which was broadcast first).
In the episode where they had to design a holiday product and the girls got no orders, Lord Sugar told Laura that this would go down in history as this had never happened before. But it actually had, in Junior Apprentice with Adam's Flex'n'Store cardboard camping games table and shoe-storage facility.
At the time I thought Sugar was merely discounting Junior Apprentice, but thinking about it, I am wondering if Series 6 was actually filmed first? I know Series 6 was filmed a long time before it was broadcast. 2010 was a weird year for The Apprentice because of the election - it was the only year that Junior Apprentice was broadcast before the adult series, and the episodes of Junior Apprentice had adverts to apply for Series 7 at the end of them - before Series 6 had even been on TV. Could Series 6 have been filmed before?

Do you know when the first series of Junior Apprentice was filmed? That evidence suggests I may be right in thinking that it was after Series 6.
Ooh yes, that hadn't occurred to me! It's looking more and more likely then, isn't it?
That explains it then... I think they could have done a better job with the editing. Leaving in the bit where they say getting no orders had never happened before, when from the viewer's point of view it had, looks rather sloppy to me.
Yes - this has always bothered me! I checked at the time, when the record was broken in S6. Completely baffled, always. That he knew when the series would be broadcast, on reflection, is a very simple and very neat explanation.
