I was just wondering, if Sir Alan Sugar gets paid by the BBC for that show, i.e. our tv licence, and if the £100,000 salary comes out the shows budget i.e. our tv licence, if Sir Alan does get paid, how much
Does Sir Alan Sugar Get Paid By The BBC?
He gives it to Great Ormond Street Childrens Hospital I think.
Siralan actually gives a tremendous lot of money to charity, which is why I still like him even though he ripped me off on all those piss-poor Amstrad products over the years.

LOL thats true.
He's come across as quite a nice bloke over the last few years (good PR I suspect). My opinion has changed about him, I like him but I won't forgive him for Amstrad and their cack products tho. lol
His fee will be paid by the production company as part of the overall budget. The BBC buy the complete package.
I also understand that he gives his fee to Charity.

Yes, the BBC gives TalkbackThames a some money to make the programme and TalkbackThames pay the production costs out of that.
The salary for the winner I expect is paid by the company that employs him/her

I'm sure the ZX Spectrum was an exception (the 128K version).
Great memories...

Also paid by Talkback. Thats why - after a year, if they stay with Siralun, their salary normally drops.

Morning and yes indeed, great and fond memories as we had several of them, and I had some great games, one being Snooker which was terrific. Snooker games of today aren't a patch on what Spectrum had, and the one I played all the time, as well as Pool.

Yes it was. Like you, I'm not sure why CXC3000 thinks Alan Sugar had anything to do with the Sinclair Spectrum. The Amstrad CPC - yes. Anything by Sinclair (or Commodore) - no.

I think Amstrad bought Sinclair when they were about to go under as a result of the Sinclair QL debacle. Then the 128k version of the Spectrum with a decent keyboard was released.
Ah, okay. Didn't know that. I bought my 16K Spectrum in 1982, when Clive Sinclair was still involved, lost interest in it in 1985 when I left school. I never got into the newer Sinclair computers with real keyboards and cassette drives attached.

Really?
So he gets a free dogsbody for a year. Shouldn't imagine he'll be too fussy who he picks in that case and will probably go along with the producers.
Is Tim, the first winner, still with him? He probably took it seriously at the beginning.

Left a long time ago. As did Michelle from series 2. Simon Ambrose and Lee McQueen still work for him.
He left in March 2007, nearly two years after joining. He formed his own company, Bright Ideas Trust, to try and help young businesses get off the ground with funding and advice. Four months later he became a "Social Enterprise Ambassador" for the Government, which aims to solve social and environmental issues using modern business solutions (whatever that means). As far as I know, he's still doing that.
