Blimey- this is uncomfortable...

MrsMcCluskey · 06/05/2009 21:57

SNOWBall4girlz · 06/05/2009 21:57

oh go Kate think lorrainne should of gone

Hulababy · 06/05/2009 21:58

Of course personal and business lives get merged. Kate is daft is she hinks it doesn;t, and even more daft if she doesn;t realise that every single one of those candidates would havebrought the Kate/Phil thing up in such a situation to save themselves!

TrillianAstra · 06/05/2009 21:58

Yep gotta see if he bitches about the 'close friendship'

katz · 06/05/2009 21:59

she might be able to detatch but he obviously couldn't, he was like a sloppy love sick puppy.

Hulababy · 06/05/2009 22:00

BBC2 now....see if he really is a bully or if it was all editing - oh and see about him and Kate too.

ilove · 06/05/2009 22:01

I'd like to know how far in advance it is filmed as well...

Hulababy · 06/05/2009 22:05

Found this on another forum, but it is based on last year;s info:

  1. Timing is everything. The series is filmed in autumn. Newspaper headlines glimpsed in early episodes date from October, and two candidates came a cropper when trying to sell food to Muslims during Ramadan, which ended in mid-October. Last week's episode showed presenters on a home shopping channel wearing Remembrance poppies.
  1. There's time and then there's TV time. "One of the first things that we tell them is 'Look, you're gonna be away from home for 12 weeks'," Sir Alan said when Ifti claimed to be off-form because he was missing his family. But filming takes about two months. And the final two work for Sir Alan before he decides who stays and who goes. Former runner-up Saira Khan has criticised the show because "the final decision is not based on the programme that people see, his final decision is based on these two people who have been working with him for the six months".

This is a year and a half old but quite surprising, so all episodes but the final ones are filmed well before the 1st episode.

He, he! Thanks you guys, just read this thread as I couldn't watch tonight due to dh watching the &*^% football.
I have to say this was almost as good as the real thing!
And now I can watch it for real tomorrow night (I have it sky+d) Hoorah!

didn't know about Kate and Phil, but now it all makes sense... the lingering hugs.

I remember the one a couple of years ago had some tasks filmed by my work. They were filmed in September and aired in April.
We had no idea at the time who all these mad men were trying to sell us over priced (and rotten) fruit!

Hulababy · 06/05/2009 22:07

You can buy the house too: a mere £10.5m

ilove · 06/05/2009 22:07

Interesting...thanks Hulababy

ilove · 06/05/2009 22:09

Bloody hell my hair is too dark! Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

TrillianAstra · 06/05/2009 22:10

That's one of the things I wonder about kid, are people suspicious as to who these weirdos in suits selling stuff in the streeet might be?

JUDGE REINHOLD!!!

7 weeks that has been bugging me, who Phillip reminds me of!

TrillianAstra · 06/05/2009 22:12

Well why did Lorraine not put them on separate subteams?

OP posts:
muggglewump · 06/05/2009 22:12

It is true that the Apprentice hasn't been chosen yet, the rest has already been filmed and is spoilered all over the place.
I stopped reading as it was ruining it for me but I did know which team won tonight as I know both Howrad and Mona feature heavily in next weeks Margate show.
