    Maybe it was someone Alan Sugar "laid on". ;)

    It's all laid on, as many of the elements of most of the tasks on. Otherwise it simply wouldn't be possible to complete the tasks in the limited time available if the teams had to set up their own appointments from scratch,

    Indeed, I suspect that when it comes to selecting the target market the teams are 'guided' in their choices. It wouldn't surprise me if they were offered a set of. say, six potential target markets, each of which has a potential focus group lined up behind it.

    Venue was the Troubadour in Earls Court which I know well, my mate had one of his birthday parties there and hired the Counterfeit Stones to play there - brilliant night

    It's a bar/bistro with music downstairs, people such as Hendrix, Clapton & Led Zeppelin have played there.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the teams were told that one had to do a male product while the other a female one. If memory serves me right in last years 'full blown' apprentice, the teams had to design a household product. One of the teams project leader was a kitchen equipment saleswoman, yet they were told by the production team, they had to do a bathroom product. (they came up with a bath spash toy), she lost the task as leader. This info. only came out after the end of the series. It wouldn't have made as good TV if both teams chose the same gender.

    That wouldn't surprise me at all. At the very least, I'm sure the producers ensure the teams don't make identical/similar choices.

    That's certainly how I'd run things if I was producing the show.
