Makes me laugh watching this program Alan Sugar giving it the big I am, shots of Canary Whalf at the start, when the reality is his offices are based in business hub of 'Brentwood', next to to a pub, and he recent product line is ..... cant think of any ... may be that crappy photocopier fax effort.
Alan Sugar, your fired due to being a blagger and for you fear of razors.
Why do you think he's looking for apprentices?
It's TV entertainment at the end of the day. I reckon Sugar plays a good part, he gives it a bit of theatre. Who would be better?

I'll have you know that Brentwood has some very big businesses - Fords HQ and nearby Dunton research centre, Logica CMG, BT at One London Road and of course my very own enterprise - temporarily situated at the end of my dining room table.

I'd never heard of Alan Sugar before this show yet they have convinced me that he is some business legend. I would prefer the BBC replace Sir Alan with a B-grade actor, they'd be more convincing and it would do a little to reduce that ridiculous tax called a TV license. I'm sure Alan Sugar makes a killing out of the BBC for the show and the £100k salary prize is a meagre overhead. I doubt any of those muppets would be worth £100k to anyone, let alone Sir Alan hence each apprentice 'moves on' within a year of being 'hired'.

Eh? How less convincing could a show be when you know the geezer is an actor?
And knock Surallan as a businessman as much as you like - he's made more money than most over the years, and far more than you or I ever will. I just object to having a Labour Luvvy on the show.
I was only knocking him as an actor, not as a businessman. He is a great businessman and that is why he lets the winners go/fires them so soon before the next show commences each season; cuts his costs and stirs the ratings. Good on him for making money out of the BBZzzzz.

Ah, I see what you mean. He sometimes has to wind himself up to slag off the losers. You could see him struggling to find a reason to shout at Lohit last week.
