From his twitter, in response to Piers Morgan.

Isn't Richard Branson free?

I hope there's an implicit "at least" in that comment!

Is the relationship between Sugar and Morgan playful banter? Or do they just actually hate each other?

It's banter I think, mostly surrounding their football allegiances!

I've been watching TA since season 1 but this season, I sadly lost interest. I couldn't even be bothered to watch the final when I found out it was 2 hours long.

I think I've just grown tired of it now. So he may do another 2 seasons but unless they really change the format, I don't think I'll be personally watching.

The final isn't really 2 hours long. Its just that You're Hired gets an additional half an hour to deal with the four people.

I think he tweeted that he wanted to stop after series 10 anyway. (but tweets don't mean a whole lot necessarily, and he may go on for longer or less. things change.)

He has mentioned that 'he's a pensioner now' and it is beginning to show - he doesn't have as much energy compared to some clips of earlier series, for me. Not like some frail old man yet, but I don't think it would hurt to have someone with a bit more life come in.

I think Sugar has too much input into the show now, not only with the picking of contestants, but editing as well, so in 2 more years the show will be totally ruined if the producers don't put their foot down now and tell Sugar to let them get on with their job without his input.

I think they should get someone else to play Sugars part. We all know what to expect now.

Suggest you read the relevant chapter in Sugar's book "The Way I See It"....

Good news, I for one am not sick of it at all.
