So sad the gay guy has gone. I actually loved him! Think 'Lord Alan' should have fired the guy with the sore throat! Prefer normal Apprentice, but this will do for now :)

Loyd Grossman boy wasn't half irritating. Although he should have remained just for that annoying factor. Zoe, the blonde lippy girl, is a bit of a character. I think she'd irritate me if I had to work with her. Cutest girl is probably that Emma.

The first edition of Junior Apprentice attracted an audience of 4.1m, less than half the main show's debut of 8.3m viewers last year. The BBC One programme was preceded by Holby City with 4.3m viewers, while the News at Ten pulled in 4.5m people.

Jordan De Courcy, 16, became the first candidate to be fired by Lord Sugar.

The main series of The Apprentice was rescheduled until the summer to avoid a clash with coverage of the general election campaign.

Brady debut

The BBC Trust ruled there could be a risk to impartiality due to Lord Sugar's role as enterprise tsar with the Labour government.

Coverage of the resignation of Gordon Brown and David Cameron entering Downing Street caused EastEnders and Holby City to be rescheduled to Wednesday evening, prior to Junior Apprentice.

_47840184_justin226.jpg Jordan De Courcy was the first boardroom casualty The show was up against Midsomer Murders on ITV1, which gained an average audience of five million.

Five's screening of Fulham's Europa League final clash, meanwhile, attracted 3.6 million viewers.

After he had been given the boot by Lord Sugar, De Courcy said: "I think give it five years and I can be just as successful if not more successful than Lord Sugar."

The programme saw the debut of football executive Karren Brady on the panel alongside Lord Sugar.

She replaces Margaret Mountford, who left the series to resume her studies.

And the boy that got in trouble for the location looks exactly like this girl in my class!

Good show, not quite as good as The Apprentice but it'll serve my needs for the time being. Missing Margaret already though, Karen is doing a good job though. None of the candidates stand out at this point, there's no 'one-to-watch'. And none come across as particularly likeable, although I'm sure many will grow on me over time.

As the series is 6 episodes and there are 10 candidates, will there be multiple firings or are 4 going through to the final?

I didn't like that Jordan guy, he seemed early on as the one that would be fired due to his poor stint as project manager and his complete lack of people skills. But I think the one who should have been fired was the farmer guy with the beard. He seemed too content with his lacklustre efforts, couldn't be bothered to follow through with his very successful idea, had poor excuses ("the wind is my least favourite weather.."), didn't seem to care that he/his team failed etc. A very lucky escape for him. He seems a nice enough guy though, I'm sure he'll grow on me.

Yep. True... :-)

I am glad that Karren has brought in. A combination of good sense and good business ideas, as well as being very sensitive.

But she'll never fill Margaret's shoes :cry:

It might be too soon to judge but as much as I think I like Karren, I think she's better suited as one of those interviewers in the interrogating interview part of the series with that big cruel guy and the Simon Hughes lookalike.

It will be interesting to see how Adrian Chiles' replacement carries 'The Apprentice: You're Fired' when the original series returns later this year.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
