or maybe extra downloadble footage - see more of the tasks and interactions....and outright twonkery of course....

Yes but I would like to see more of the actual challenges and less of the Apprentices squabbling.
I would like to hear more of the feedback from the clients and from Nick and Karen during the tasks.
Maybe in the early shows where there are a lot of contestants a two hour show would not be so fragmented.
There would be less opportunity for favourable/infavourable editing of certain individuals.

Yes I would like to see perhaps an extended version on BBC3.

Like the previous poster, I agree it would be good to see more feedback from the customers and less fighting among the contestants. Plus they could focus on the quieter members of the team too.

I would love to see much more footage of them living in the house together, not so much in a Big Brother way, but just enough to get to know them all better.
All we see atm is them getting up in the mornings, I'm sure there is much more to see than that.

Yeah I agree it could be good to have an extended version on the web or bbc3 or 4, we do miss lots of good bits no doubt as the last quarter of an hour is all about the boardroom.

Like having breakfast, sitting on the toilet, having a shower?

That would make for exciting 'must see' tv.

I hate the way the show is now skewed to 25 minutes boardroom whereas in earlier series I'm sure it was only 15 to 20 boardroom.
Obviously the producers think it makes better telly in the boardroom as there's more squabbles.

To be honest, what we get sometimes seems too long. I'd like to see more new material in You're Fired. Most of that is just repeats of what we just watched only an hour earlier, mixed with opinions from so-called experts who really don't have much extra insight, and insipid comments from the fired candidate who wants everyone to like them again.

I'd also like to see more detail on the website. For example, on the sausages task I'd like to see a break down of what everyone did on what day, and their sales figures.

there is additional footage on the BBC website. Footage that has not been aired on either of the two apprentice programs.

Agreed, we used to get to see much more of the actual task. Too much time is spent in the boardroom now, guess the Lord wants more screen time....

To answer the initial question, no. Two hours would be too much. An hour and a half though would be perfect!

No, two hours is too long. It used to be better, more task & a shorter boardroom bit, I preferred it that way & an hour was just right.
If there is extra footage, they could show that on You're Fired! More interesting that re-capping what we've literally just seen. I don't mean drop re-showing the amusing bits, but the round up they do at first.

Is there? I can't find it, only clips which are highlights of what's already been shown. Can you please point me at it specifically?

Seconded.

I was looking for this earlier. Last year they added at least three extra clips per episode, all of them task footage. Ben's impression of Sugar is funny

I'd love an 'Apprentice XL' of say, 90 minutes, and a 45 minute Your Fired!

I usually watch each Apprentice episode twice anyway, so extra footage in a longer version would be welcome

One episode were a longer episode, would be ideal, is the Interview round. The interviewers are shown, as, unnecessary aggressive, yet, the candidates, always seem to come out with positives, about the interviewer, when they've finished the interview.

I'd like an hour and a half.

Only 2 hour if it was on a commercial channel (so an hour and a half of footage). Or 90mins BBC, either way!
