Shop frontin'

AGAIN! The Apprentice, BBC2, 9.00pm

We know, we know, we get incredibly lazy on Wednesdays and always end up talking about Desperate Housewives or this show, but we have a really good reason this time, honest. No, 'cos last time on the show, one of this season's "characters", the manic and bubbly Jo, was fired, much to the dismay of half the viewing audience and the exasperated joy of the other half.

So, how will Jo's ouster affect the rest of the show? It'll probably be lacking a certain spark, although her most-likely-to-burst-into-tears role will be filled by Tuan, and her gets-in-a-flap-at-the-slightest-thing role by Sharon, with the rest of them picking up the slack as they see fit. That said, we'll still miss you, Jo Cameron, television institution. God speed.

Anyway, this week the team are all at Top Shop in Oxford Circus, not to pick out a couple of clean shirts to replace the ones that are all irredeemably sweat-stained, and not to cruise for homosexuals, but to test their mad retail skillz. They experienced the other side of this on the bartering task, so it'll be interesting to see how well they deal with stroppy and irate customers. We predict Ruth "The" Badger to excel this week, since she's already proven she could sell sand to camels, and we predict Sharon to float around uselessly getting everybody else to do all the work - why break the habit of a lifetime, after all?

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
