It was very embarrassing. Just another reason why the candidates are selected for their personality rather than what they can do.

BTW, the studios are 'Pinewood' not 'Pine Wood'. (And there's no "greengrocer's apostrophe" in 'Pine Wood Studios'. )

That you can Google and find some shops (after seeing Your Fired btw) in no way excuses Sandeesh's silly comment.
She's seen this show before. Sugar doesn't call to meet them in some local shop. It's always a major landmark or famous place. Pinewood Studios is the only major film studio in the UK. Every time they start shooting a new Bond film, the studio will get a mention on the news. Same when they are shooting another $100 million+ blockbuster there (Dark Knight, Bourne Ultimatum, Da Vinci Code, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory). It's so famous that just the reference Pinewood is enough. |

Maybe Sandeesh doesn't know much about cinema? My father is a very intelligent man; he could talk to you about economics and history but ask him who Robbie Williams is and he'd be stumped. We all have our own areas of knowledge and ignorance, some of which might stun others who assumed that "everyone knew that".
But why seriously suggest that it might be some random (and with a crushingly dull name) furniture warehouse. That's where the task is held. 'The Task Telling' is always in some place chosen to look impressive with good footage, and then make a joke out of it with some really tenous connection. It's also important to waste as much of the available day driving. Q. Why don't they just put the task instruction on a tape that in 5 seconds, catches fire and self destructs? A. Still too close in time to Amstrad products. |

God Help us if this is the best the UK can offer...... Those that appear on The Apprentice are the ones who applied to go on the show, its not the final 12 of everyone in the country who thinks they are something/somebody. Sandeesh should have known about Pinewood but if she is very young, then it doesn't surprise me. Just more proof imo of how todays young seem to be more and more detatched from knowing things like this and are to wrapped up in their own little worlds, their gadgets and their social net working sites!

All The Harry Potter films where made there, Goldeneye, The Phantom Menace I believe too, definetly Sleepy Hollow and I thought thr Dark Night was filmed there too. Loads of films have in any case and Warner Bros have just bought it and are gonna spend about 140 Million on it. |

![]() .I think you're all making a big deal about this. There's a difference between IQ and knowledge. Someone could have a really high IQ and not know what Triskaidekaphobia is, and another person could be as thick as pigcrap and know what Triskaidekaphobia is because he heard it in a pub quiz somewhere. Doesn't make the second person any smarter. |

So Shepperton isn't a major studio, even if they merged with pinewood I think, they are seperate sites.
Leavesden is a major studio. All The Harry Potter films where made there, Goldeneye, The Phantom Menace I believe too, definetly Sleepy Hollow and I thought thr Dark Night was filmed there too. Loads of films have in any case and Warner Bros have just bought it and are gonna spend about 140 Million on it. Leavesden only became a studio because when they finally made a start on Goldeneye, Pinewood was by then already booked for other films. Of all the British studios it is the one that kept the UK film industry alive during the 70's. Alive in the sense of still producing big films that were seen worldwide as opposed to the home market or tv. Pinewood continues to attract the blockbusters, whereas other studios are more suited to the smaller stage requirements of other fims and tv (like Shepperton). It is surprising that both Sandeesh and Laura hadn't heard of it. Though if you'd said Leavesden to me, I'd have replied 'aerodrome'. Which is how it was known when I lived near to it. Leavesden is also about five miles away from all the film support services and expertise that centre around Pinewood and 'next door' Elstree (which also has film and tv studios not swallowed up by Pinewood). |
