I'm sure this has been done to death on here - apologies if it has. Feel free to hurl your worst possible abuse at me. But I was just wondering what everyones very favourite overall episodes were?

My personal favourite would be series five sandalwood fiasco - a real classic for me.

The interviews episode in Series 3 with that great boardroom moment when Katie turned Sir Alan's offer down.

Loved the Marrakesh task in Series 4 too.

It's usually every second series I think.

Has to be the Ambrose shopping channel episode for me.

The one in series 3 (?) where they took half a ton of cheap and nasty cheese on a sight seeing trip to France. Then dumped it off the back of the cross channel ferry on the return journey.

Series 4 Episode 7 was easily the best.

Amongst my favourite episodes are...

Series 1, Episode 2 - creating a product for kids. Lindsay comes up with the awful 'Secrets Signals' idea, which is possibly the worst idea ever. She ignores her team and her target market and goes with it, because she personally thinks it's brilliant.

Series 3, Episode 1 - it's a hilarious series opener. All they need to do is sell some bloody coffee to the public - how hard can it be? But both teams make it seem like a really difficult and complicated operation!

The shopping task in Series 3 with Simon was also hilarious! I cried with laughter for ages when I first watched it!

In Series 4, the Marrakech episode is a classic and I love the episode where they have to design a greetings card... and one team design a card that preaches about saving the environment lol!

The first season's shopping channel is one of my favourites - especially Saira and James with the wolf jackets!

Also love the Pantsman episode.

Baggs & Bates buying the ten items was great too.

Season 3 Episode 8 - I thought it was quality watching Tre getting stressed out at Simon getting involved doing all of the acrobatic clips. The voice-over by Simon made me laugh out loud too.

Season 4 Episode 11 - There was some great tension in the interviews on this one. I like Lee but seeing him getting interrogated and ripped up inside out, it was interesting. I liked Lucinda's calm approach, even if it didn't work. Wotherspoon vs. Claude - that was hilarious.

this. it was a great task, entertaining, had a classic boardroom, epic pay back in the firing department and the terrific "wheres the cheer" and salute from Adam at the end. Terrific stuff.

Simon doing an infomercial. Screwing on a table leg that just happens to be on his groin. Just happens to be making a hand motion that resembles masturbating. Just happens to say "even children can do this". Gets told by his teammates to stop screwing on the table leg and then goes to screwing off the table leg. Result...

The greatest TV moment ever.

That time when Michael, the one who said he was a good Jewish boy but didn't know what kosher was, tried to flog a very expensive car at a London street market. So cringeworthy.

Marrakesh. It was just perfect; the contestants were divided as near as could be into a "good team" and an "evil team" and the good guys won, and it was full of laugh out loud moments - kosher chicken, Claire pretending to be Alex's girlfriend.

I wish they would do a DVD showing the highlights from all series, I think there is one but it's a bit rubbish?

It must be!! I cant remember anything that topped it, why on earth didn't they let him know about it on the headset though? "you can have fun doing this" "children can do this"

I loved James the most, he made every episode EPIC

Yes, and Sophocles sweating in the boardroom as he was questioned about his claim to be a "good Jewish boy" when he didn't know what kosher meant.
