My review of the new series of #TheApprentice.
PLUS, my TV picks for the coming week, in which I cover all the big questions ahead of Sunday's finale of #TheNightManager: uk.news.yahoo.com/alan-sugar-t...

This ruthless workplace drama is the best show on the BBC right now Industry returns with a confident, bigger-budget fourth series, adding sharp new characters, political edge and brutal boardroom drama that cements it as one of the BBC’s best shows

As did your lot last Monday.

She is streets ahead of everyone else in that camp. Deserves to win, but won't.

'I'm A Celeb has a problem and it's bigger than the lack of decent Bushtucker trials' This year's I'm A Celebrity is one of the dullest yet, with weak trials, zero drama, and a predictable winner.

"If Angry Ginge is allowed to win this year's #ImACelebrity, next year we'll end up with that guy who's refusing to cut his hair until Man Utd win 5 in a row."

'I'm a Celeb's changes were meant to fix it, but ITV show faces a new kind of crisis' Producers attempted to refresh I’m A Celebrity after viewer complaints, but the changes have backfired.

On Sunday Ant said, "There's never a dull moment here on I'm A Celebrity."
Has he not been watching the show this year?

'Celebrity Traitors' extraordinary brilliance raised the bar. Can I’m a Celeb hope to compete?' - Yahoo News UK The 25th season of I’m a Celebrity faces high expectations after The Celebrity Traitors, but its cast and format still hold potential to engage viewers.

My take on this year's #ImACeleb line-up for Yahoo Entertainment. Kelly Brook to win, presumably:

Cheers Simon.

'I had my doubts about Celebrity Traitors – two things proved me wrong' Our critic embraces the BBC's Celebrity Traitors, calling its finale the biggest TV event since Pop Idol and praising Alan Carr’s game-shifting performance.

As a wise man once sang, "Let's cherish every moment we have been given..."

Just watched the first episode of the new series of Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.
All is right with the world.
Sunday, 9pm, BBC2/iPlayer.

I'm assuming all leftovers will be repurposed for Spamuary.

How did you know that was my password?

'Is Davina McCall's new BBC dating show stranded on the wrong channel?' The new Davina McCall dating show mimics reality dating formulas with minor tweaks, raising questions about its fit on BBC One's primetime schedule.

Rather unfortunate that Davina's catchphrase on this show is "Commit or quit."
Some viewers will be like, "Don't tempt me."
