who pays for the trip to Dubai is it lord sir alan sugar of the license payer

It will all be part of the production costs.

definately not task profits thats for sure

The production company, who are commissioned for the series by the BBC. So how would that work? :yawn:

You do. Assuming you pay licence fee.

Unless they did a deal with DubaiAir or whoever. But I doubt it as they wouldn't get much publicity as that sort of thing not allowed...

It's what also makes me larf about celebs prize money going to fave charidee on those ghastly quiz shows. I doubt very much it's their money
