I just thought I'd post to say that I thoroughly enjoy the "You're Fired" show almost as much as the actual Apprentice show itself. I think what makes it is Adrian Chiles's wonderful laconic humour and presenting style. I don't think there is another presenter currently on television that could do this as well. I await his interviews with Katie and Tre with anticipation.

He is very good...and versatile too. He presents football programmes and was the main anchor for Working Lunch until very recently.

Working Lunch is a great show. It puts over quite complex things in a very digestible format.

It sure does! Just a shame I'm not at home to watch it these days.

And some of the contestants this year could do with paying attention to WL...

I agree - he has a way of asking quite insulting questions as if he's trying to do you a favour

His wife is also an extermely competent interviewer and broadcaster (Jane Garvay from 5Live Drivetime)

I enjoy Adrian Chiles on "YF' but some of the filler by the guests drives me nuts

Can't wait for Katie to appear on the show (fingers crossed for tonight).

I have always rated AC as a presenter but he went even further up in my estimation the day he ran the London Marathon and then presented Match of the Day (live) that same evening.

(Whilst other another TV presenter who used to be a sportsman but who shall remain nameless, was in hospital recovering).

Adrian Chiles should take over on A Question of Sport. Because he's a trained journalist he puts these sport celeb presenters to shame with his superior skill in asking awkward questions

I'm going to be an audience member of You're Fired next week - really looking forward to it. Just hope it's a good person on!

Judging by the snippets shown already it looks like Tre's team loses tonight, so you never know, You might get to see Katie's lynching next week

Now I know who goes tonight. If you want to know send me a PM and I'll tell you that way

Your Fired is very dependent on the guests and the candidate. Last week's was pretty weak. Ghazal was rubbish and the guests included some bloke who liked trainers.

Your Fired doesn't really offer an analysis, discussion and illumination of what went on in the episode just shown, so it is a little disappointing, as a programme.

Sometimes there is too much filler - like the Jon Culshaw clips and this week the focus on Katie rather than Jadine.

I, for one, would have loved to have seen the Eclipse Coffee dance again, as I had to shut the sound of in cringiness the first time!

And a little montage of Jadine's Eclipse obsession would have gone down well!

What's been everyone's favourite You're Fired this series?

More like a tarnished piece of cheap tinsel.

That bloke was Trevor Nelson - well known broadcaster on BBC Radio 1 and MTV. Yes, he does like his trainers!

I quite like Adrian. He has a dry wit and as said can get away with asking questions others won't be able to. I was actually sceptical when I saw him on the first YF show back at the end of the first series but he's grown on me.

Asking the audience who fancied Katie hit a low that I haven't seen on the show before.

That was a cheap and nasty shot that I thought really reduced the show to a low point.

Yes, I am not a Katie fan but I don't like the way You're Fired! feels the need to demonise her and attack the way she looks...whilst at the same time praising Tre for being a pillock.

If Tre started spouting off about nasty things happening to his fellow applicants, I'm sure he would get the same if not worse treatment than Katie.

Tre is universally disparaging about everyone that isn't him but Katie is very particular and personal about who she doesn't like and why she doesn't like them. I have also yet to hear Tre desire someone to be dead. I also think he is doesn't take himself and what he says quite as seriously as as Katie takes herself.

I can't bear Katie but I agree that was a low blow. What does her physical appearance have to do with her business skills.

I really did enjoy you're fired up to and including Adam epi but thought the last two were particularly weak.
