Anyone else looking forward to the apprentice?

Does anybody know why it is on in the Autumn this year instead of the usual Summer series? And was it filmed last Winter but just shelved for a later date or filmed early this year?

Looking forward to it aswell btw :)
 
It should have been shown from March, but because Alan Sugar is a Labour peer, the Tories began whining about political bias in the run up to the May general election...so the BBC caved in and delayed screening it
 
Yes, love it.

Though have to say that for me, The Apprentice peaked at the beginning of S2 when the guys and girls had to pick names for their teams.

With no irony whatsoever Syed first came out with 'Winners'.

When this was roundly rejected he then - again irony free - suggested 'The A-Team' to similar disdain.

Brilliant.
 
I watched Junior Apprentice back in the Spring and loved it so I'm really looking forward to The Apprentice which I'll be watching for the first time.

I'm a bit of a latecomer to this show. :D
 
The tasks are fascinating and, looked at from a business viewpoint, often amazingly hard. To dream up new products, get them designed and then sell them to professional buyers, (to take one example), compresses a normal business process that might last months into a couple of days. And they have the cameras on them the whole time.

I find the earlier shows much more interesting than the final stages. It is the way that the teams organise themselves and how they build on their strengths, as well as trying to do each other down as individuals, that makes it compulsive watching.
 
I haven't watched the last couple of series', but, for some reason, I'm looking forward to it again this year. Rolling my eyes at salesmen is always fun.
 
The part where they each introduce themselves to camera at the start of the series are always funny:

"I won the annual World's Best Salesperson and Businessperson award 42 times-and I'm only 27."

"I'm so ruthless and determined I'd cut my own throat to win."
 
Have only watched the last series and the Junior one, dont know what I was expecting, some kind of really dry uninteresting business show i think, but i really enjoyed them and cant wait till Wednesday for the new series.
 
No, it's a great show where we laugh at the worlds biggest egotistical people as they crash and burn! :D

All talk and not an ounce of common sense!
