I caught up on the line-up for this year and I'm shocked At one point during the programme I had to clarify with my friend that we were watching The Apprentice as the contestants all seemed like they were auditioning for some big brother type of show.

Also, the Beeb seem to have a problem with their scheduling as they have put this on at the same time as The Fall!

I looked up the lineup last night, with their profiles and wasn't impressed by most of them, nor impressed re how they saw themselves either. There was one Karthik Nagesan (Mr MonoEyebrow) who might be good to watch.

I find the scheduling of it at the same time as the Fall very strange.

I watch the Fall on Rte (irish tv) and it's on the Sunday so apprentice night is Thursday

I do find this idea we have in Britain that popular shows shouldn't be scheduled at the same time strange. We'd never have anything on if we did that. In the US, popular shows can be on at the same time on loads of channels. If that happened here people would spontaneously combust.

I don't normally think it's strange, but we are talking about the BBC scheduling tow programmes against each other.

Years ago maybe it'd be strange. But in an age where we all have smart TVs and the internet, does it even matter? If you like both shows, you'll watch both shows.

True for many, but we still live in an age where most tv is watched live.

It's about the BBC scheduling not all scheduling. What's the US got to do with this?! Now you are just being daft with your last comment. 😝
