The Apprentice, BBC1
“Eight weeks in and I still laugh at the beginning of The Apprentice when Sir Alan says, ‘First prize: you get to work for me. Second prize don’t exist.’ He makes it sound as if they used to have a second prize but they got rid of it because all the contestants secretly preferred it: ‘Forget about the muffin basket. It’s working for me or nothing.’”
Tim Dowling, The Guardian

Find Me a Family, C4
“Channel 4 has been behaving this week like a rich man who’s just been told he’s got days to live, abandoning thoughts of worldly things like ratings and turning its mind to higher matters, such as Find Me a Family, a three-part series about the plight of hard-to-place children in care.”
Tom Sutcliffe, The Independent
