In a few minutes time I'll be watching the final episode of 'The Apprentice' - BBC's take on the US Donald Trump show.

'The Apprentice' is pretty vacuous telly - reality TV's homage to capitalism, but I have to admit to guiltily enjoying it all the same!

For those who haven't seen the show its basically a business 'talent show' presided over by Sir Alan Sugar of Amstrad (does anyone still own an Amstrad Computer?!). Each show ends with Sir Alan telling another hapless contestant 'You're fired' with tonight's winner going on to become his 'apprentice' (hence the name of the show).

The best bit about the show is the contestants who are basically the bits left over after the barrel has been well and truly scraped - 14 self-described 'high flyers' who nonetheless have managed to find 3 month gaps in their busy schedules to star in a cheesy reality show!

If you fancy finding out if you too have what it takes to climb the greasy corporate pole, you can take the BBC's on-line Careers survey. Good luck - and remember lunch is for wimps!!!
