Hi all - so they're off to Dubai on this one.

One team tries to use local knowledge to its advantage by scouring the markets, while the other heads straight to a shopping centre.

Hilarity is BOUND to ensue!

I wonder whether there'll be a kosher chicken on the list...

I have good feeling about this one think it might be a classic

As soon as I saw this preview I was absolutely buzzing!!!
Hearing Zee knows Dubai like the back of his hand is going to be hilairous if he fails.

Finaly an exotic location!!!
No doubt this will be a classic, Come on 8 O'clock!!!!!!

Thanks MARTYM8. I wasn't aware of this

I hope he knows how to haggle, 'cos my experiance of middle eastern markets is that you have to spend quite some time before you get to 'bargin' prices so it may be better to source the lot quickly in the shops.
Still I'm sure he can find a kosher chicken better than some

I was pleasantly surprised to look in the paper to see The Apprentice on tonight instead of tomorrow.
I love this task though, it's been done in previous series and it's always been fun to watch, looking forward to it!

Looking forward to tonights Spinal Tap tribute.

Shame Uzma went because she lists a Dubai operation as part of her business......

Does anybody know why it has been switched to a Tuesday evening?

Evening all. I'll have to catch up later as I'm sticking with BGT and Corrie tonight. Will miss you all on the thread though.

I can only think that it's due to clashing with the England game.

does anyone bungie jump off the tower, or does Lord Sugar throw one of 'em off

you're fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrreddddddddddd

This has got to be a classic episode.

Just a quick glance at the RT preview is making me laugh!

"Before long they're miming frantically to foreigners and speaking loudly"

It's never been done in foreign parts though.

I had no idea this was on tonight!

Um... You've never seen Marrakesh, have you?

Evening alco, folks, been looking forward to this episode too, and hope it's as good as the Marrakesh one, which to me is THE one to beat, and glad LS listened to us re sending the candidates to foreign climes, although those climes might wish he hadn't. lol

No probs - I trimmed the tvguide synopsis to avoid spoilers - yeah - but I remember Marrakech!

Not Marakesh but I have been in markets in Teheran and Basra.

I now get your point. I cannot remember the Marakesh episode so I must have missed it.

What series was it?

Series 4, Episode 7 - the best episode ever!

Dubai has a lot to live up to.

I'm sure a lot of folks are going to miss it tonight!

They are obviously missing the language skills of Herr Baggs.
