Comic Relief - "The Apprentice"

Hey did anyone see the Comic Relief red nose day celebrity "The Apprentice"?

I'm really pleased to see that girls team won - they were really quick off the mark to get selling whereas the guys spent too long planning.  It's been the same before, those with the fastest action often win in this race.

Was big Al right to fire Piers Morgan? or should it have been Alistair Campbell? .... maybe he should have just banged their heads together before asking them to leave the building by the fastest route. The window as they were on the 21st floor!

The Apprentice UK

So .... when is it all going to begin?

Series 3 of that great series "The Apprentice" with big Al (Sir Alan Sugar of Amstrad to you) is due to start anytime now. Previous series have been run on BBC2 but now it's going to go big time on BBC1 at peak viewing time. Big, big audience figures are expected.

The dear old BBC have been keeping the start date a big secret but it's going to start on Wednesday  28th March 2007 at 9.00 am.

The series will run on the usual format over 14 weeks, but it is rumoured that there may be even more programs on-the-side about it, probably on BBC2 or BBC3. There is also going to be an official magazine to accompany the series.
