The Apprentice 09

[Barman]

Hasn't Sugar been "elevated" to the peerage? 

Indeed...

How can he feature in a TV show while being in the cabinet?

Mind you, they'll have all been kicked out by the time the next series starts - Lord Sugar, you're fired!

Margaret Mountford quits The Apprentice!

Margaret Mountford quits The Apprentice!

Apprentice sidekick Margaret Mountford has quit the BBC1 show after five years, according to the papers.

The Sun reports that the 56-year-old, who along with colleague Nick Hewer act as Sir Alan Sugar's "ears and eyes" on the show - is leaving to complete a doctorate on ancient Egyptian manuscripts.

The pair have become hugely popular with viewers for their scathing remarks and withering looks as they watch the candidates stumble through their tasks and report back as to how they fared.

Margaret - who first met Sir Alan when she advised him on his firm Amstrad in the 1980s - will be seen on the show for the last time in Sunday night's final.

She intends to pursue her PHd in Ancient Egyptian Writings.

All this announced whilst Sugar is in negotiation for his peerage with Gordon Brown ~ Coincidence?  I doubt it.

Look forward to no more "Apprentice" until labour are kicked out of power.

And that makes my comments less relevant?

Simply reinforces it and answers the question posed I would have thought.

No, it simply proves you didn't read all the thread...

Not at all ~ I had read the thread and felt that Miss D's point could be used to better effect so reused it AND gave a source.
Perhaps it proves that in posing the question you did you had failed to recognise the significance of Miss D's post.

Sir Alan Sugar has told the BBC he is not joining the government, despite accepting a job from Gordon Brown as "enterprise tsar" in the reshuffle.

The Apprentice star told the BBC: "I wouldn't join the government, I don't see this as a political thing."

He said he was simply acting as an adviser and wanted to help small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Sir Alan told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show that his new post would not affect his role in The Apprentice

That'll be him not joining the Government then 

[Snoopy]

You must be the only person I know who watches the Andrew Marr love-in with Nu-Labour on a Sunday ~ have you nothing better to do, like clean the oven or something.

I have obviously been up since daybreak putting the washing through the mangle, baking fresh bread and scouring the doorstep...but I haven't actually turned the TV on yet

BBBB?

BBBB 
I too have been up for hours and chores are done but now the papers are here, the family have gone out and the fire is lit so I'll be off air for a while.

The BBC is in talks over Apprentice star Sir Alan Sugar's new government role but says it is determined its impartiality will remain "sacrosanct".

The Tories say having a government business adviser front a business TV show, is "incompatible" with BBC rules.

BBC editorial policy chief David Jordan said they were "in discussions" with him about the job's "precise nature".

 

[Snoopy]

Since I seldom watch TV, have never watched the Apprentice and will never vote Labour I really don't give a fat rat's arse what they do about it.

[Miss Demeanour]

So did you think she deserved to win 

[Snoopy]

Who she? What she win? WTF are you on about?
