That's a good cast.....you can't go wrong when Kirstie Allsopp is involved.

Not sure about Hancock though...

Can't find a repeat listing anywhere... damn annoying that this clashes with Torchwood on both BBC 2 and 3!

Also, its been widely speculated that series 4 starts on the 26th - any news on a start time for that? Can we expect another Torchwood clash?

Some one pointed out that the BBC will have football on that night (England v France) but on the ticket websites "The Apprentice: You're Fired" is still down as being recorded 25th March and its normally recorded the day before its broadcast.

Every time they have some WAG and every time they phone up all their footballer friends and get huge donations.

I can't believe how misguided the men were about the whole buy one get one free concept. The whole point was to sell stuff to make money. You don't make money by giving stuff away for free. Although the bonus item may have encouraged people to spend a little more. It's not going to bring in as much money as selling the two items separately. It's definately a case of the sum being worth less than it's component parts.

As for not charging for the food and drink. How ridiculous. How could it not occur to them? It was so obvious. They could have made a good few thousand more that way.

I would be surprised if come Friday, if it isn't either Lembit or Hardeep that get's fired. Both caused problems, and complicated situations, so unless Sir Alan thinks the other three should have done more, I think it'll be one of them two.

At least Hardeep and Lembit along with Tuffers seemed to be making an effort, the other two guys seemed a complete waste of space. But that may just be the editing.

Actually I`m surprised the girls didnt make more - they made £130,000 selling 4 tickets to start with and Simon Cowell gave 50k for the sketch.

I think that just goes to show that the men could easily have won if they had thought things out more, and fought less.

I agree with you there. The guy from the Sun - 'Kelvin' just seemed intent on winding the others up.

Hardeep was a bit of a baba though. He threw his toys out of the pram after ten minutes about being called Hitler. I thought he instigated an awful lot of the arguments. I lived Kelvin, I'm surprised he didn't step up to being leader, I think it would have made a huge difference to the final result. Lempit nice guy but God has he any backbone. Whereas the girls team did seem to be quite organised but I thought the woman from Ann Summers was a complete pain. Kirsty did overreact though. Who was that Clare woman. I'm surprised Lisa didn't get Mr. Clooney to attend.

It's repeated on Easter Monday at 10:30pm on BBC2. It's scheduled to run for 1 hour 25 minutes, so it looks like it'll have tomorrow night's boardroom showdown and firing added on. Alternatively, last night's hour long show is available on the BBC iPlayer now.

Who was that Clare woman.
She's a BBC sports presenter - most often presenting horse racing, but does cover other sports sometimes too.

I believe Torchwood is moving to Fridays.

The France v England game is live on Sky not BBC, so the programme will start Wednesday 26th March without any problems.

I just watched it on iplayer and I love it. phil tufnell really surprised me - he was so funny and actually really on the ball ... he spotted all the problems and pointed out the common sense things that the others didnt seem to notice. I also loved him getting the boxing gloves signed by the girls' celebrity.

The girls team were better but Jacqui seemed a nightmare to work for. She hardly let the others do anything and barely gave Louise (who lets face it, brought in most of the money) any credit.

I'm so pleased The Apprentice is back

Whenever I have seen the "comedian" Hardip on TV, I thought I bet he is a bit of an arse, it was confirmed this week.
