Just seen an interview with the big cheese S'Rallan, although Lord Sugar technically. I Love the Apprentice

Can't wait. Although it's still sad not to have Margaret Sad

Tonight?

GwendolineMaryLacey · 04/05/2011 12:57

Have you seen the new line up? I'm stunned, about 6 of them are over 30 and another couple are close. Usually they've barely started shaving. Look like the usual bunch of arrogant misfits anyway. Goody! :o

Fantastic!
Not tonight, sorry to get your hopes up it's next Tuesday, 10th May at 9pm on BBC 1.

There's an interview in the radio times and there is an Apprentice section now on the BBC website.

Let's hope they are a bunch of plonkers Grin

It's a different format this time. The winner won't be getting a job with Suralan instead they'll be getting £250,000 to fund a business startup. Means age of candidates is less important as technically they won't be an apprentice.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 04/05/2011 14:02

I think they did that last year though, didn't they? Confused

Whatever the reason, I'm glad because old people (I'm 39 btw!) have a different type of arrogance than the arrogance of youth.

I cannot wait, this is literally the highlight of my year!

MollieO · 04/05/2011 14:07

No. Stella was given a job with Viglen.

Me too GwendolineMaryLacey, I love it! And I'm so glad it is on a Tuesday because Wednesday nights for us are a pain, as we have to drive our DC around the county, so end up watching it on delay, then of course its over to You've Been Fired, and then it was always midnight!

I will watch it live on Tuesdays Grin

We loved Stella and hooted at Bagsy.
I'm not just a one trick pony, I'm a whole field of ponies!!

Gwen - they had a fund for the Junior Apprentice, but I think it was still a job for Stella.

Should be interesting as presumably the emphasis is slightly less on teamwork and more on being an entrepreneur.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 04/05/2011 17:59

Ah ok, I'm getting mixed up. The juniors are back in the autumn, aren't they? :)

ChippingIn · 04/05/2011 18:01

Brilliant - bloody typical timing means I'll miss most of it [pout]

Record it? Then just watch it delayed. Tis what we have always done when it's been on Weds

ChippingIn · 04/05/2011 18:32

Pisty - you are a genius - I never would have thought of that!!

Grin

I will be out of the country and don't have any way of recording it - besides, the best part is watching it with Blondes et al and I'll miss out on that! [double pout]

bigTillyMint · 04/05/2011 18:33

Great - thanks for that - I love it and so does DHSmile

Will you miss it all or just one?

OP posts:
ChippingIn · 05/05/2011 08:13

I am away all of June and all of July.

I know it will be on Iplayer for a while (and repeats over time) but I will miss watching it with everyone on here - that was (at least) half of the fun!

I wish Bagsy was back in again!

He was a legend.

OOOOooooo I know a couple of the tasks!! DH did some work the other day with some PR person who worked on the Apprentice.

No spoilers here, but one task sounds great!

Apparently it was all filmed before Christmas, all except the final that is.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 07/05/2011 06:23

Another Bagsy classic...
?I?m Stuart Baggs ?The Brand? ? I?ve got a certain type of charisma!?

No dear, you are Stuart Baggs the tit, but you are entertaining!

ChippingIn · 07/05/2011 08:00

RatherBe - it is going to be 'flat' this year without him :(

Dying to know what the tasks are but don't want to spoil it....

Ah feck it... PM me Grin

Just going to see if I can see what the full dates are - see how much I'll miss!

ChippingIn · 07/05/2011 08:10

OK, I now know what the first two challenges are.... can't find the final date... does anyone know?

RatherBeOnThePiste · 08/05/2011 10:52

How did you find out the challenges Chippin?!

I'm sure there will be a new Bagsy/ Tre / Badger

Well I hope!!

ChristinedePizan · 08/05/2011 10:57

Why is it on again so soon? The last one was in the autumn

edwardsbella · 08/05/2011 11:29

can't wait

ZillahWhoDrankTooMuchGin · 08/05/2011 16:28

I really hope there are no 'baggs the brand' copycats this year.....

ChippingIn · 08/05/2011 16:33

Piste - on the 'official' website. It tells you about the first two episode... here
