The Apprentice UK

I find it hard to believe Karren Brady took over from Margaret Mountford in season 6 in 2010. Doesn't seem like eight years ago, maybe 4 years or so. As for the show as a whole, there are only a few programs on the BBC that I find worth watching, The Apprentice UK and Dragons Den, long running shows both since 2005.

You can't beat it from when Lord Sugar slams the Rolls-Royce door (almost as big as him!), just that alone does it for me. Steps out in an assured bulldog type way and almost slams it into the next street. He can't slam the car door hard enough for my liking!. Best part of the show.

The humour of the man is also quite telling, generally you need intelligence to conger up wit, he has both in abounds. Worth watching just for his remarks alone. The picking of the contestants does look a bit formulaic in that after all these seasons by now you are bound to get most of the latest bunch that either physically resemble or has a similar character to one of the previous 300 odd contestants. They can hardly get away from that problem. Though you have to notice the Production team do replicate some of the more stronger more memorable past contestants to some fashion.

In a season most of the tasks are usually more interesting to watch than not. At the end of the day it all comes down to it being a well produced show. You get the feeling lord Sugar wouldn't do it if it was any old tat. If it wasn't up to his standard he wouldn't be in it.
