Another great episode remastered
Once again Sir Alan has managed to scrape the barrel of business talent and get 15 arrogant idiots to make fools of themselves over the next few months. I will be there glued to the screen fascinated at how inept people can be whilst still thinking that they are the best thing since sliced bread. An amusing summary from episode one has been done by Watch With Mothers
The return of the Apprentice also marks the return of my favourite viral spinoffs. Yes, the episode spin-offs by Boleg Bros are back with more Lego based fun (episode one below).
I didn’t realise the credit crunch was hitting Virgin Media that hard until I went on their new site. I had a double take when the page loaded and I was met with what is essentially a red version of the BBC homepage. Whilst the site does look good it certainly won’t become my news and entertainment portal of choice. It offers nothing we haven’t seen a thousand times before.
It’s fair to say that the BBC has always been a benchmark for good web practice and BBC type elements are common place across the internet but none as blatant as this! After a suggestions by @ojwestmancott I had a quick look at the source to check they there were no references to the BBC!
Hopefully Virgin Media will pass on the money they have saved back to us the humble broadband customers!
