Wed 1 BBC1
If the opener to series five of The Apprentice was ever-so-slightly underwhelming, tonight's second episode was a classic. The task, to put on lunch for city-goers and later provide a business firm with an evening to remember. The teams, an utter shambles. Empire, brimming with male businessmen the UK probably shouldn't be proud of, decided to dress as greek olympians to impress a throng of high-flying lawyers. Because obviously having paid £15 a head, these lot really fancied being served cheese on sticks by unattractive, half-naked lumps.
The girls fared somewhat better but they were hardly without embarassment; I defy anybody to watch Kate squirm as the client asks which snacks will be served, and how. "Bruschetta, which is... always a favourite", she murmurs, not even bothering to pretend she knows her stuff. And later in the boardroom, Margaret informed Sralan of another girls' team faux pas with the hilarious one-liner "somebody slipped a hair into one of the salads, to compensate." Proof, as if it were needed, that a Margaret and Nick-fronted spin-off is a must.
