Just take a look at these pics..

What with Nick making funny one liners as well as SAS always cracking jokes....Last night even having a meeting trying to sell a sauce that was non existant was hilarious

Also AYBF with Dara which is becoming more comedic rather than serious..

Is the Apprentice becoming spoof like

Argh...it's so tiresome and tedious listening to Dara O Briain trying so hard and reading his would-be witty remarks off the autocue. At first, it was a relief from the smart arse who preceded him because he was softer and kinder towards the contestants.Now I can't stand him either. I am sick of the sight and sound of him.

It's an awful formulaic programme with its silly preoccupation with comedians and straining to be funny but little spontaneity or real discussion of the programme and what happened in the episode and the issues thrown up. It's time they got a presenter with a bit of spark and capacity for discussion but not a comedian, and it's time they got a woman to present it and more than a token woman on the panel! Is the BBC a jobcentre for male comedians?

It's been deliberately comedic since it moved to BBC 1 at the very latest. It's started trying too hard the last two series or so.

Yes I think you are right...Was'nt quite like this when it was on BBC2.

It is not the programme it was, or perhaps it is because it has been done to death and needs to be put to rest. This is the same with so many TV series that they resurrect year after year after year.
