The Apprentice - BBC1, Tuesdays 9.30PM
The Apprentice: You’re Fired! - BBC2, Tuesdays 10pm 

Well, well, well! So it all started with a bang!

The massive rift in the men’s team (pardon me, BBC website, but I refuse to refer to people older than about 18 as “boys and girls” - rant over), long may it continue.

It very much looks like unmissable Wednesday night telly once again. The aerial shots of London are still as impressive and glamorous as ever. Incredibly, twenty thousand people applied to be on the show, and they were whittled down to the bunch of 16 we saw tonight.

Personally, I thought Alex should have been fired, but it was never going to happen as he volunteered to be the team leader. Nick was a good sport on the BBC2 programme afterwards.

The ones to watch next week are obviously Alex and also Raif, the strange haired Hugh Grant sound-alike. So far, justice had been served, let’s see what the next instalment brings!
