I think you've answered your own question. It's only fun if you enjoy painfully farcical comedy.


Why anyone would want to be the "apprentice" of someone responsible for launching so many complete, utter turkeys is beyond me. Totally losing his share of the PC market within just a couple of years... then a diabolical games console, a disastrous PDA, the ridiculous emailer phone, the bizarre anti-wrinkle device. The list goes on.


And let's not forget the whole Spurs episode..

I'll admit that i'm not completely impartial in my utter loathing for the man, being a Spurs fan.

Each year the fascination is whether they can find candidates with an unprecedented level of 'twatness'.


Indications are good in that regard this year. It's not a business show, it's 'made in Chelsea' with business-like tasks. As long as you accept that for what it is, it's good car crash comedy.

The only candidate of any merit I've ever seen was early on in perhaps first/second episode. It was the dark guy who had been / was a London Undergorund manager. I think he had a girlfriend and very young child and just wanted to get on and use his abilities. Polite, well-mannered, humble, but also clever, patient, saw every train-wreck coming.

So far ahead of his loud-mouthed supertwat competitors with their tailored suits and unrealistic boasts.

I think he won, not sure, but it must be more than accident that all the other candidates (and most since) are utter cockwombles.

It's a tired recipe now this programme. Overstayed it's welcome by several years.

Yep, spot on there. Coupled with the "Simon Cowell Effect" of behaving and talking to others, I'm sure it makes us old'uns wonder where it will all end!!!!!!!!!

I agree. They've made some minor changes over the years but not enough to keep it fresh.


And this year's participants are even more awful than usual.


I expect I'll still watch it though ....

    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power seven months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.  
    • They also collect near Bond Street station near Oxford Circus. Always same guys.
