The Apprentice

"Comic Relief Does the Apprentice" Starts tonight on BBC One at 9pm. I wonder how the show will compare to the regular series? Most Celeb specials of other TV shows are not as good as the regular version; Celebrity X factor for example was poor in comparison.

I think this celebrity apprentice should maybe have been a week long of specials with celebs getting fired each night. With this being just 1 episode and a results show during Comic relief on Friday, I bet that tonight’s show will be 'rushed' a bit to enable everything to be fitted into the 1 show.

On another note, series 3 will start on BBC One on Wednesday 28th March at 9pm, with ‘You’re fired’ on BBC Two at 10pm. I hope BBC One Scotland don’t get up their usual tricks and mess around with the schedule for The Apprentice. I bet one week it will be on at 10:35 in Scotland after the news and the BBC Two show.

I am looking foward to the Comic Relief Apprentice. It did seem good from the promo thats been on.

As for the original Apprentice, how long is it on for? It will end up going head to head with Big Brother! What am i going to do I'll cross that bridge when i come to it.

With a name like "This is Granada" I assume you don't live in Scotland?

Its not as big a problem as you might think. Telewest/Virgin Teleport carries the English schedule of replays so at worst we can watch it once it plays out darn sarth.

Never really got into this show (don't know why, Alan Sugar probably!), but looking forward to the Celeb special tonight. Actually they should have expanded this out over the week instead of doing another Fame Academy series.


Really really annoys me though that once again the BBC are plugging the gaps in the BBC1 schedule with the jems from BBC2.

This looks like it could be good.

Great episode tonight - that'll provide all the content Harry Hill needs tomorrow!


Such a shame it's just the one off though - it makes firing just one person at the end seem pretty pointless.

Excellent episode tonight and all that money they raised! When the new series starts is still going to be based in London, or are they moving around the country like they do in America?

I know they will be based at London, as the candiates were spotted at Lloyds and London Zoo, but not sure if it's for the entire series. Given last year they went to the Mediterranean for one task.

The show will adapt the same as the last two years, fourteen candiates, accross a twelve week interview.

One interesting thing of moving to The One this year is keeping the contact nearly intact, as the BBC2 series had all swearing uncut.

Excellent ratings for the show last night 6.6million. Won the 9pm slot.

Sort of expected really.......I imagine series 3 will get the same type of ratings!

Great show last night, I enjoyed seeing Anne Robinson in the stocks with wet sponges being shoved in her face!

Was it just me or did Trinny Woodhall *appear* to be buzzing out of her chops on something or other?

Probably will - but it did well enough for BBC2 and I don't think the extra million or so viewers justifies at all moving it to BBC1. It'll also face tough competition from Grand Designs which is currently dominating the Wednesday 9pm slot week in, week out - and probably attracts a similar type of viewer.
