“The IT Crowd”? Not a hope. “Shameless”? Better. But the hands down winner has got to be “The Apprentice”. Thank god for Sky+ so I could keep pausing to catch my breath after collapsing in gales of laughter.
Last week I called them a bag of spanners. This week it was “The Spannerettes”. A gaggle of gormless girls and only the crazy one was talking any sense.

I’m convinced they are going to keep her in until the second last episode.
A calendar for Great Ormonde St Childrens hospital and they decide to do a chic modernist one with kittens, unreadable dates and only one mention of the charity. Next week they’ll be revealing their plan to sell Lego using challenging cartoons in Pakistan.
I think it was the first time I have seen a presentation to a customer where the presenter shusshed the customer when they tried to ask a question.
