The Apprentice: sneak preview

by Matthew Rock - Wednesday, 30th April 2008 - - Business comment

If, like us, you can barely wait for tonight's entrepreneurial action (hmmm), you could always check out the preview.

Last week it was chilly Jennifer who dominated the screen (and narrowly escaped a firing). Judging from the BBC's trailers, it's flame-haired single mum and sales manager Jenny Celerier (a lettuce, surely?) who looks set to take centre stage. And I'm also unfeasibly excited at the prospect of some good Michael Sophocles action. The man has real David Brent potential. Enjoy. We'll be commenting soon.
