I'm surprised there has been no mention of The Apprentice which started last night.
Actually I'm not that surprised...there was no warning it was starting this week, I only stumbled across it half way through while switching channels. I saw a TV ad for it over the weekend that said 'Coming Soon' - why not say it was starting yesterday.
I only left it on to see if I recognised any of the contestants...
A few initial observations:
1. The cars used by the teams were Renaults - wonder why...
2. They were selling fruit on Moore Street - no surprises there, Bill...
3. The voice over guy may as well have been using the BBC scripts with a find & replace of 'Sir Alan'... e.g. '.....the search has begun.'
4. They have gone for the exact same formula & stereotyping as the BBC - working class dubliner who left school after leaving etc etc etc etc
Why do we have to do carbon copies of the UK on these shows - we're not adding anything so what's the point other than ratings?
