Hmm. Ok. Well let me leave my current thinking and see if it helps (or hinders ) anyone else whilst I keep thinking!

I'm wondering if I'm going to laugh at how wrong these all are when the answers are found.

Interesting thoughts - I will point out with regards to your thoughts on #14 that

I didn't mention that before, but I thought I'd just clarify it. I don't think it really spoils anything.

You have two days left to complete the quiz!

On Saturday night, I'm going to the theatre to see James And The Giant Peach (yay! ), and when I get back I'm revealing the answers to all the quotes that no one has got. So you have about 48 hours left! I thought I should set a deadline, because otherwise there might be some that are never revealed.

So, let's see if you can get them all before that happens! A reminder, you still have #4, #6, #7, #14, #15, #19 and #20.

Also, I'm out all day tomorrow so won't be able to confirm any answers, but will answer anything later.

You are right about #15! I was wondering how long that would take...

You still haven't got #19, I'm afraid!

I'm going to have a go at a couple just because we are running out of time!

Oh #4, its very difficult,

#6 is very, very tough. It could be from virtually any episode with a losing male PM - Lets take a stab in the dark:

Is #7

For #20,

I still need a little more time and thought in #14 because it has to be from a specific episode, but I'm just not sure where it came from!

Without looking at the answers right above me:

no. 4

Spoiler



no. 6

Spoiler


no.7

Spoiler



no.14

Spoiler



no. 19

Spoiler



no.20

P.S. By the way, I am also trying to come up with my own quote variant soon (probably only 10 quotes, which will probably be all lifted from the intro).

Jack, you have finally got #4! Well done!

All the others are still wrong, I'm afraid (from both you and Sherlock). Only five left though! See if you can get any more before I reveal the answers tonight

I'll count it! Might as well, as you've won anyway - no one can possibly beat your score now. (By the way, Max Grodecki got eleven A*s, so he'll never forgive you for thinking that was him!)

Just a question, would you have got #3 and #12 is Hown hadn't beaten you to it?

Ah Thank you! I might have got them eventually, but I didn't initially know #3. Once Hown mentioned it, I thought of course, but I didn't know it at the time. I must confess, I intially thought #12 was Patrick McDowell, but I think I'd have got that one eventually had no-one else got it.

And the game is over! The winner is naturally Jack (TXF0429) for identifying fourteen out of the twenty quotes. Special mention goes to hownwbrowncow for identifying two of them, and thanks to everyone who tried to work them out. Even those of you who didn't get any made the game a lot of fun!

And now, what you've all been waiting for... the answers to the ones nobody got! There are actually only four, so you did really well...

#6 is

Argh! Think I thought of just about every branding task bar that one for #14; slightly irritated I didn't get it! Thought #7 was a JA/YA candidate talking about the house; I just imagined Zara saying that. #6 makes sense, but I don't think I'd have ever got it - that one's really tough! And I don't think I'd have gotten #20 either - it seems like a pre-interviews camera piece and I'm surprised it was Adam in the end, though I do recall him saying something like that in that task, now that I think of it.

I've really really enjoyed this quiz George! I know its time-consuming but if you ever have time to do another one, I'd love to take part again! I reckon I'll make one as well soon in my spare time.

I was surprised that no one got #14 actually - I think the comments about the multi-gender thing give it away slightly. The others are really hard though, especially #6. (If I remember correctly, Zara said something like, 'You've got art, you've got crazy sculptures, you've got chandeliers... it's like an explosion of cool.')

I enjoyed it as well! It was really time-consuming to prepare - I may do another one at some point, but not until the end of the academic year, I imagine. Of course, the other problem is that if we do too many, we'll run out of decent quotes before long.

Ah, well I'm not too embarrassed with my earlier thinking based on the answers then.

Well done TXF.

Thanks for the quiz George - good fun. Hope you enjoyed your theatre visit.

Ok, I have small scale quotes quiz.

The rules or conditions are:

1) Only quotes from the main apprentice series (not YA/JA)
2) All quotes are taken from the weekly intro to the series
3) The quotes are all from the last few series (series 5 upwards), perhaps I will have time in the future to do a combination for all the series.
4) As these set of conditions narrow the field, only one guess on the quote per person
5) There are 10 quotes in total, questions may be asked (but perhaps not always answered), and I will see when I will give the answers (depends how long it takes to get the majority of the quotes).


1. "No, because right now I'm your boss"

2. "You earn respect and that's how it's done"

3. "For the purpose of this task, I'm now focussing"

4. "Why are you undermining me all the time?"

5. "We have an opinion and you just don't like it"

6. "Everything is spoonfed to me, with a spoon, with a spoon"

7. "You're not my team, your failure is my succes"

8. "He is going to batter you, I'm just warning you"

9. "You either want my constructive criticism or you don't"

10. "I'm completely entitled to say my opinion"


Think that some of them, not saying which, might be difficult as they are not task related (and are odd choices really for the intro; even if I do understand their purpose).

Then again, most of the people guessing are from the yearly spoilers thread so it probably shouldn't be that hard.

Which one I'm looking forward the most? Probably number two, as it is a very generic statement (though perhaps not a surprising statement from this particular candidate, lol ).
