I just wonder because it would be extremely embarassing for AC to have to interview Michael if he has seen the 'odious ...' comment.

Much as I'm looking forward to seeing Michael get fired I'm not really looking forward to the following YF episode as I suspect it will be absolutely cringeworthy.

Watching him smarm for half an hour won't be pleasant but I think it might well be compelling.

It may succeed in making me do something Dr Who never managed: i.e. watching it from behind the settee!

I think they must be filmed on the day, or at most a few before. Too big an audience to keep the results secret I reckon.

They invariably tend to come over on YF as much nicer in real life than they seemed on the Apprentice but I still can't imagine that with Michael - we'll just have to wait and see.

I have this picture of the end when Adrian Chiles asks the audience to put up the cards to say should they have been fired or hired, even his family putting up fired.

I think they are filmed on the Tuesday before the programme goes out.

As I understand it, YBF is recorded on the Tuesday and broadcast on the Wednesday, 1 day later.

Typically next week will be different because of some football match.

That is my understanding also. A few on here have said they had tickets for the YBF show and it has always been the day before the show
