Yes, this one again
FIRED! The Apprentice, BBC2, 9.00pm
Consider this a protest, if you will. Every week we dutifully plough through the pages of the Radio Times in the hope of finding something worthy of a preview on a Wednesday that isn't The Apprentice or Desperate Housewives (and even the latter isn't as much fun as it used to be). So we're laying down the gauntlet to the schedulers - until they put something better on, we're just going to preview one of these two every week. Er, until they've both finished their respective series, of course.
(Incidentally, if you have any better ideas of what we could preview on a Wednesday, why not comment below and let us know? Tell us what you've been watching...)
So, the latest shenanigans in businessland, then? Last week, Invicta and Velocity were charged with selling direct to retailers. LOWCULTURE favourite Ruth "The" Badger (come on The Badger!) led her team to a narrow but still well-deserved victory after Syed and Tuan's failure to return on time cost them valuable...er, statistics? Sales? We don't really know how to describe it, but their ledger was docked as a punishment and it made them lose. Interestingly, we noted last week that all the people in the show that we still like (The Badger, Ansell and Michelle) were on one team, while all the ones we really can't stand (Sharon, Syed, Paul and Tuan) were on the other one. We wonder if there's another corporate reshuffle in the offing?
This week the teams are required to let out properties. Our own experience of viewing properties with a view to letting suggests that Syed's superlative lying skills will serve him brilliantly in this task. Presumably this will be another chance for The Flower and The Badger to engage in a pissing contest over who can sell the most ice to the most eskimos, while Michelle and Ansell will probably muddle through quietly and Tuan will be fairly useless, as usual. But who's getting fired? It had better not be The Badger, that's all we're saying.

The problem with Andrew Winter is that he can't decide how to pronounce the word 'buyers'. Sometimes it's the normal way and then other times he poshes it right up with and says 'baaaaahs'.
