The Apprentice - why I fired them is throwaway filler, it doesn’t matter if it is never shown at all.

The Apprentice itself could move to tomorrow

May won’t resign, if she was going to she would have done it ten times over by now.

The stumbling block could well be that Lockerbie documentary Scotland has tomorrow 9pm - so either Scotland airs the documentary at a different time or airs the Apprentice at a different time.

I somehow can't see the main Apprentice show going out on 11.25pm on Friday.

Channel 4 News are doing an extended programme online - with only the first five minutes shown on Channel 4 as part of the lunchtime summary.

Can imagine if the result isn't announced until 9pm that the Apprentice will be moved to tomorrow 9pm - and Scotland will either move the Lockerbie document to another time or air the Apprentice at a different time.
Is Friday's Not Going Out a repeat? Looking at the Friday schedules Mrs Brown Boys is a repeat so if both are repeats I could imagine that there may be a shift in the schedules then to fit the episode in for Scotland if they want to keep the Lockerbie documentary at 9pm.

The Apprentice: Why I Fired Them is currently at 9pm Thursday and feels as if it's ripe to be moved to the Friday slot after Graham Norton.

Of course this all depends on when the vote is announced. If it's all done and dusted before 9pm I can see the Apprentice staying on BBC1 and the News Special moving to BBC2.

If May loses the vote then the rulebook goes out the window and who knows when the Apprentice will be on and whether the Final to it will be delayed (the You're Hired Show is recorded so it could be aired at another time but doubt BBC will be wanting to delay any of the Strictly, SPOTY or Apprentice finals if they can help it).

All guesswork though and I can't say I envy those in charge of BBC1 and BBC2 - this is where you earn your money and whatever you do, some viewer or another will be unhappy.

Have ITV announced any special programming for the vote? You can imagine the usual soap fan complaints should Corrie be moved though given Corrie's lack of quality recently, it not airing would be no bad thing.

I doubt anything needing a news special with happen on the weekend so the three big finals should be able to air.

You know it's a big story when CNN Domestic ( not just CNNI) is airing PMQs live. It takes an awful lot to stop CNN Domestic being all Trump, all the time.

Can we leave actual political discussion to Metropol please?


There's political discussion and then there's exploring possible options which will have an impact on coverage, surely?


Correct, and the broadcasters will be thinking the same whats could be coming next.

Network won’t give a Scotland variation a moments thought.

Honestly if someone was actually to make a decision that a localised doccumantary that isn't being broadcast on a significant day was more important it would be time to make whoever schedules Scotland redundant and get rid of national variations in the schedule.
