I always wonder whether a bunch of average people off the streets could manage some of these tasks as well if not better!

Utter Cr*p tv, should be banned.

Never watched it, don't intend to either.

Agreed.

"TV cameras in, common sense out" is the only explanation I can offer.

Let folk watch it if they want. Personally, I can't bear it. Apart from finding Suralan very annoying, I despair at the ineptitude of the contestants. Seems all they are really good at is shouting and stabbing each other in the back...

How many of the past "winners" still work for salan.?

I don't have a TV, but I must confess that I find it hugely enjoyable. It confirms all my most dearly held prejudices and consists almost entirely of complete w**kers making idiots of themselves. What's not to like?

Sallan.

None of them have worked for Sir (or Lord) Alan for a couple of series now. They get £250k to do their own thing with AMS's assistance.

The only redeeming feature of the programme, is that whilst those pea-brained show offs are clammering for attention in front of beardy Gollum they aren't out in a real business screwing things up.

Suralan

That's Lorchugger to you

I love the show, especially the commentary from Nick Hewer and the stupidity of some of the candidates. I often find myself shouting at the television (not literally) and wondering how they can't see that the decision they are making is moronic.

Yes, I think there are a lot of people who could do better, although that obviously wouldn't make good* television.

*Good Television - Television that is marketable, and not necessarily skilfully produced/has a meaning

Great car crash TV....

Can't stand the show, but I can see how it fulfills a desire to see a bunch of self important to$$ers taken down a peg or two.

There's a kids version on CBBC where some of them are genuinely entrepreneurial without all the BS, and it's a much better show.
