With almost each day an episode
It is still so far away, as it is still almost 4 months from now.
If the series does continue next year, it will probably return with another autumn slot. We will probably find out in a few months time, if you are given the opportunity to apply for the next series.
I presume you mean the 17th of December, unless you're expecting a two-week long series?
Oh yes, haha
aww that's ages !
thanks.
Why would that cause an issue? I can see why it would with the general election, but not with football. I thought not wanting to clash with the World Cup was just due to scheduling arrangements.
Correct.
What does Alan Sugar's political connections have to do with football?
I'm not sure what walterwhite's getting at though...
I'm sure it is because of the World Cup that the series is being delayed, but I presume that's to do with scheduling decisions and wanting to get ratings, not to do with politics.
What I don't understand is why the first series of Junior Apprentice was broadcast right in the middle of the 2010 General Election. If Series 6 was delayed because it wasn't appropriate for Alan Sugar to be presenting a reality show right in the middle of it, it seems odd that Junior Apprentice went ahead.
The thing that annoys me is that the World Cup only started a few days ago! And so they could have just aired a tenth series from March to June as normal if they'd just got their act togehter! So basically, they have no excuse...
I didn't say it had anything to do with football. They aren't going to show it during the WC because of scheduling and they couldn't show it before because of the elections.
They'll have to delay the next series anyway, because there wouldn't be time to make another one between Series 10 and the normal start time next year. In 2010/11 they got away with that by making Series 7 whilst Series 6 was still being broadcast, but that can't happen this time because the next series hasn't been commissioned yet. So while it would have to be delayed due to the election, it would be delayed regardless.
'Presumably couldn't be shown before the WC because of Alan Sugar and his political side.' That seems to me to suggest that for some reason Alan Sugar's politics were a conflict of interest with the World Cup being on.
Oh christ, sorry if I didn't word it to your exacting standards. Hopefully my further explanation is good enough for you.
Obviously people don't have to be entirely grammatically correct on a forum (personally I tend to be, but that's personal choice) but the way you said it before actually came across to be saying something different to what I think you were trying to say. What do you expect me to do in that situation?
You were right to question it and I clarified what I meant. I don't expect you to keep whingeing on about it.
I don't think I whinged. You said 'I didn't say it had anything to do with football', which to me suggested that you didn't realise how your previous statement had come across, so I used that as an example to explain how it sounded from my perspective. Is there an issue here?
Only while you keep going on about it.
I don't think that I have said anything that has not been in direct response to what you are saying. There isn't an issue to me, to you there clearly is one. If you have a problem with the way I go about talking to people, you are very welcome to discuss it with me.
No. That was the case in Series 6 but this series was just filmed a few months back.
I always associate The Apprentice with autumn. When it starts getting dark earlier and you see the apprentices getting out of bed in the dark and coming home in the dark, it gives it a kind of cosy feel. Hopefully they will have filmed this series before the clocks went forward so it doesn't lose that.
