IN CRITICISM OF ALAN SUGAR

Does anyone else see the 'elephant in the room' whilst watching The Apprentice? The thing is, Alan Sugar is somewhat living on past glory's. What do his companies actually do? What does he actually sell nowadays? He sure as hell doesn't know anything about advertising. It was the same in the last series with the 'advertising' task. As far as Alan is concerned, all you need is to do is shout the name of the product at the viewer and show a picture of it. Job done. Perhaps someone ought to have the balls to point out that the advertising game is rather more sophisticated today (as Raef and Michael knew). Answer me this Sir Alan. Do you thing an ad' showing a Gorilla playing the drums to a Phil Collins tune would be a good way to advertise chocolate?

IN DEFENCE OF ALAN SUGAR

What is it with people moaning about Sir Alan's sackings on The Apprentice? So what if Simon was the most 'normal' bloke in the competition, he just wasn't ever going to be a business man, as he admitted himself. And Raef? Sir Alan summed him up perfectly - just a load of hit air. But who's going to win? I have no idea. It's interesting to see how Lucinda has changed from being a timid, shirker to really standing up for herself but I have a sneaky feeling that gobby Claire might actually be emerging as a favourite for Sir Alan. And you wouldn't have thought that a few weeks ago.

JONNY & JOHNNY

So, you get Sir Alan Sugar on your chatshow. That'll be interesting and amusing. But, you then let some fat, talentless, chump called Johnny Vegas on the same show and you allow him to constantly interrupt the interview with embarrassingly unfunny comments. Two rules for chat shows. 1. No Johnny Vegas. 2. No Peter Kay.

HIGNFY - An apology

OK, so the Brian Blessed edition of the show was very funny. But the metaphorical axe is still hanging over the show in my opinion. Hislop and Merton do look somewhat tired of doing it. Or just mildly bemused this week as Blessed totally PWNED! them.

OFF OFF OFF OFF!

Have Britain's Got Talent's producers been scouring the local OAP homes aswell as the mental hospitals? This weeks edition was non-stop oldies. Even the obligatory oddball, Blue Tulip, was knocking on a bit and also reminded me of something I'd seen earlier in the evening on the latest episode of Doctor Who (which stopped being good about 2 series ago)

If you think she looks familiar, that's because this week's nutter has been seen on TV before as part of a documentary on stalkers. Remember now? She's the woman who claimed to be DJ Mike Read's wife. There's got to be something wrong with putting these people on TV for the public's entertainment.
