Friday 5th June

[highlight]20:30 - The Apprentice: Why I Fired Them[/highlight]
21:30 - Have I Got News For You
This suggests the last 2 episodes are being grouped together; with a special show on the Friday with Sir Alan saying why he fired them.

I thought that the runner up will get a "you're fired" at the regular time on bbc2 with the winner getting one as well after the news on bbc1.
I may be wrong though.
I assume so. Rubbish decision if that's the case. You need that week between the interviews and the final so that we at least establish who the finalists are, and there's the last chance to separate the wheat from the chaff... it won't have the same impact if it's all in one final edition.
On final night it was
9.00 BBC1 Apprentice Final
10.00 BBC2 The Apprentice: You're Fired (Wasn't there more than two in the final last year?)
10.35 BBC1 The Apprentice: You're Hired.
Of course on June 10th (which should be final night) there's an England World Cup Qualifier football match on ITV1. Perhaps the BBC want to avoid this clash.
Edit: Apparantly BB starts on Thursday 4th June.
You might be right actually. They wouldn't put 'Why I Fired Them' on after the final - it wouldn't really make any sense, would it? But two hours is too long for the interviews and they've never felt the need to extend it in the past.
I assumed that they'd put the interview episode and the final episode together, therefore it's still 12 episodes but the final 2 are broadcast as 1.
Yes, there was 4 in the final last year.
You may well be right about the football. Is this schedule confirmed?
No, Big Brother begins the night after (lucky for Big Brother).
8pm - The Apprentice: The Final 5
9pm - The Apprentice (interview episode as normal)
Don't see how the final can go out against the football though. That would surely knock it?
this isn't right
though the schedules will probably vary quite a bit before then, they're not currently planning this.
I doubt the BBC cares if they trash ITV's ratings for a soccer match they paid too much for. And besides, I suspect the audience profiles for a business programme and a sports one are radically different (and not just because the business one is of interest to people outside England).
The Apprentice: The Final 5Wednesday 03 June
8:00pm - 9:00pm
BBC1
As this year's series of The Apprentice draws to a close and the tension mounts, this programme profiles the remaining five candidates. Revealing the true stories behind their super-confident egos, we discover what really makes these budding business men and women tick. Parents, friends and former bosses, along with Sir Alan's trusted aides Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the final five personalities.
Then the normal show at 9pm
I hope a 'full' version is shown later that same week.:sleep:
No the 8pm show is a profile of the final 5, background about them talking to friends and families etc
The 9pm show is a normal show and happens to be the interview one where they all get interviewed (a task)
I'm in a pickle, I go on holiday Wednesday 10th June
Plus the programme has so many candidates to cover that it can't do much for each one, other than the shallow party line that we already know. And that I often disagree with.
The thing that annoyed me most with last years was that he still insisted that Shazia should've been fired! I just can't fathom how he thought that!
Hang on - so we're going to get a show profiling the ups and downs/strengths and weaknesses of the Final 5, directly before the Interview show, which is basically just profiling the ups and downs/strengths and weaknesses of the Final 5. That sounds like quite bad scheduling.
I remember they did this show last year, but putting it on directly before the Interviews doesn't feel like the best idea.
Is that all?
Bloody hell. Doesn't feel like it. Only feels about half way through. To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of this series. I just don't feel it as memorable as other years and with the exception of Ben, can't see me remembering half the cast or tasks of this one come next year. When I can remember pretty much every candidate and task from the others. Don't get me wrong it's been fun, just not my favourite.
yeh it started end of march so on air 2 months now. This is my first yr watchin it so i'm loving it:D
