Who wins this series tends to be, in the great scheme of things, an irrelevance. Saira Khan and Ruth Badger have done just as well out of being mouthy runners-up as Tim Campbell or Michelle Dewberry ever did as winners, and arguably better. But for tonight's final, at least, it matters terribly. And if there's one thing this series knows, it's how to crank up tension to the point of weeping agony, so we can expect world-class foot-dragging as Sir Alan puts on his wincing face and tries to decide which candidate - Alex, Claire, Helene or Lee - to hire. But before we get to the boardroom, there's a final task to negotiate, one that gets the finalists to dream up an original male fragrance and launch it to an audience of industry experts. Best of all, they can choose from a parade of fired ex-candidates to help them. Just to see pricelessly posh Raef again, ready as ever to "converse with prince or pauper", will be a joy. The Apprentice: You're Fired! follows on BBC2 at 10pm, with The Apprentice: You're Hired! on BBC1 at 10.40pm.
