Any two of them can hire the Irish woman and just use her to shout at people to buy the product.

That girl with the glasses is really quite attractive but, bloody hell, I couldn't put up with that voice.

What a numpty Pieman couldn’t keep his trap shut. I reckon he would have won if he conceded his ambitions for online sales.

Well that was a bit of a damp squib really. Sir Alan didn't even believe in mail order pies as a concept, and it turned into a begging contest at the end.
Let's hope they totally overhaul the process and tasks now, it's been a good run but it's had its day with those tasks we've seen time and time again.

I think the BBC could combine The Apprentice with Gladiators.

Not sure it merits moving the Ten o’clock News.
Couldn’t be more detached from ‘business’ if it was scripted… oh, hang on….

Phil, like Paul the dentist, would have been a mug to let half of his business go for a measly £250k ...a worse deal than seen on Dragons' Den ...so, perhaps he needed an 'out' strategy too.
The publicity won't have done him any harm, we're headed for one of his shops for pies this Saturday.

Lord Shugs said "you've got to move with the times" in his final bit.

That's surely what the online element is all about?

The Leeds "gym" is quite small. Might have a unicycle in there if you're lucky.

Absolutely would try his online pies if available amd reasonable delivery. Surely a supermarket will offer him placement now anyway?

Or traitors? Menage a trois? Weekly winner gets to murder a fellow competitor and the losing team have to run a Gladiators course, slowest gets fired?

How much lol! They'd better be the worlds best pies at 6 quid for a tiddler :-)
Two family pies plus delivery is £34 quid, perhaps Sir Alan had a valid point, I can sit in our local and have beautiful home made pie chips n peas for two for the same cost !

I did ! Ouch! To be fair, their products do look lovely, and he's already got a profitable business that didn't actually need Lord Sugar in any way. He's probably got a better chance of selling more product now anyway with fresh interest locally etc, perhaps nationally as mentioned.

The gym idea to me will only ever be a few more locations in the North, there's a gym on every corner now in most towns. She was a strong candidate and deserved it in the end, but probably the absolute best of a bad bunch of ideas.

Is that from the pie shop in Loch inver? Anyone on pH in Scotland should know it.
Its the arse end of nowhere then travel 45 miles down a 1 way in out road. But by God the pies are amazing

Phil’s all over tiktok he will sell pies on there. Tiktok will subsidise them so not that £.

Gym lady well remember Marnie of Bronx Boxing that’s doing sod all, this will be no better but look at the past winners - Shugs likes a sweaty blond!
