Never seen it, but it looks like it will be full of people who think they're really something giving it loads of management speak, like "let's touch base" or "going forward with this roadmap".

F*cking w*nkers!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

No you're thinking of the Apprentice. This one has people who actually are successful and know how to get straight to the point. Worth watching.

However, a high profile business going ****-up due to taking the money in but not paying the invoices (allegedly) is a different matter.

Can't argue with that...

...except, and please correct me if I am wrong, hadn't Red Letter Days gone under before the last series was filmed? So by that logic she should have been out then too?

I think that Red Letter Days went under between when the previous series was filmed and when it was shown.

I also think that as the broadcast times had been set and the "****-up" moment happened just before broadcast, the Beeb were stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Could be wrong. Happy to be proved wrong.

Virtually every Japanese home has a cloth cover on the toilet seat, I bet that was where that woman was sourcing them from, albeit repackaged. I can't understand it myself, the Japanese say they use them for hygiene reasons yet I can think of nothing worse than a cloth seat cover for hygiene <shudders>

Caught this last night for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fair play to the egg man, he was a fumbling bafoon but the idea was top.

How funny was it when he took the top off and it was still raw - twice

"cant test anymore as i have not bought enough eggs"

The toilet seat cover confused me. When working in Germany, the HP/Agilent toilets in Boblingen had a dispenser in the cubicle which dispensed paper toilet seat covers which flushed away......

.....she just needs to import these and sell them rather than her overly complex & environmentally unfriendly elasticated panty liner type approach.

Hardly. Sounded like they paid for a lot of the development. 4% isn't bad.

No, that makes sense. I was pretty sure it was before the last series went out - not sure of how much delay between filming and showing
