Compelling and cringy indeed scottishmummy - love it Grin

I think the gap is short marmalade because they delayed the last one due to the run-up to the election

Sorry - you meet the new candidates on the website - but the announcement must be for this year as the dates don't fit last year do they pointythings? Next Tuesday is the 10th May.

It's just the videos below that are from last year - they aren't going to spoil it and show this years pointythings

Argh! First ep clashes with Eurovision (I know it's tragic, but watching it is a family tradition!) Going to have to record and watch both on the 11th...

AprilRose · 02/05/2011 21:11

Hang on... no... it's ok - it's just the semi-finals (when did they decide to air the semi finals?!?!)

And last years was in the autumn, not May.

Oooh, so we could be that lucky - more Apprentice, and so quickly? Didn't think it was possible, hence all the scepticism, sorry!

No worries - the website is exactly clear until you read further down.

This is series 7 - last year's series 6 was launched on 6th October so very short space between them!

Oh thanks for the heads up - I hadn't seen anything about it so far.

Shall we have an Apprentice Wankfluttery Idioms Bingo card??

Bumperlicioso · 02/05/2011 21:24

Can't wait!

Babieseverywhere · 02/05/2011 21:43

Yeah, thanks for the reminder.

beanandspud · 02/05/2011 21:52

Very excited now - I LOVE The Apprentice. I actually auditioned for it years ago and now watch it thinking that I could have been so much better than any of the candidates (obviously the producers didn't think so at the time).

Oh, and I think Karren Brady is brilliant.

m0nkeynuts · 02/05/2011 21:53

Yup, definitely next week! The new candidates get revealed on the website tomorrow then the series starts Tuesday of next week!

And, yes, was delayed because of election due to BBC impartiality thingy and Lord Sugar being a well known labour supporter (and Labour Enterprise Tsar).

Hoorah, love The Apprentice - fingers crossed for another Stuart "the brand" Baggs! What happened to the Junior version? That was super scary!

I think the Junior Apprentice has been approved for another series - but no info really on the BEEB website.
