As I type this I can barely hit the right keys, I'm so tense. This blasted show takes nerve-racking to a new level, like an episode of 24 with a dozen Jack Bauers working against the clock and busily stabbing each other in the back. Tonight's challenge for the two teams of business wannabes is to create and sell a calendar for the Great Ormond Street Hospital for children. "These bloody tasks are so tough," groans one of the boys and he's not wrong, although the bare-knuckle in-fighting doesn't help. As last week, it's "A-Team" Syed and teary Jo who stand out as particularly bonkers, but it's a crowded field. And also as last week, it's almost unimprovably good TV.
