k this, I'm off down the pub."Excellent episode, lovely to see bickering and meltdowns 
I do find some of the tasks confusing though, they seem to whizz between so many 'sub-tasks' from research to making the product/packaging, to coming up with a name and brand, while then they show the other sub-team interviewing people, then its back to the other sub-team bickering in a taxi, then back to the other sub-team in front of a computer screen, then back to the other...you get my drift.
Couldn't understand why the male PM, Mukai, bought those two back into the boardroom. Sir Alan had picked out two already from his team (Dillon - who wasted time interviewing and Oliver - who admitted all he did was ask a couple of questions for public research), surely that was a pointer as to who Sir Alan was gunning for ? That Karthick was always going to fight hard to keep his place (although the PM probably thought he was going to dig himself a big hole) and that JD just seems a half decent level headed bloke who was never going to get fired in a million years.
I think the Scottish girl, Natalie had to go, she had such a permanent grimace on her face, obviously made for bad TV. Although I also thought the one in the middle, Alana?, was also going to go, she looked like she had just given up by the end in the board room.
Couldn't help but notice the way Sir Alan kept plugging the media boards on bus stops, "this was the important bit", "what about the media posts on the bus stops?", "where was the interactive media for the bus stop?".
It's almost as if he knows someone very close with a vested interest in digital advertising in public places

She did also look like, ahem, a 'lady of the night'.... Still looks like Lord S is following in Trump's footsteps & firing all the
The thing I've always hated about the advertising task, is the fact that Sugar has to like it. I mean, unless it's in-your-face cheap style advertising plugging the brand name every 5 seconds like Cillet Bang, he won't 'get' it. It would be like trying to get my grandad to understand anything young and cool, just never going to happen.
I don't get why the apprentices don't understand that and do the kind of advertising campaign he would like.
