Even though it finished such a long time ago I still miss The Apprentice dreadfully. This is not because of a particular attachment to any of the be-suited wunderkinds, none of whom would I even trust to pick up a bottle of milk from the corner shop without making some sort of a mistake along the way, but because I wont get to see Mr Sugar pointing, looking a bit miffed and telling someone that they are "fired".

Because of the aching chasm in my TV schedule I have started searching for professional lookalikes of the great man. It is my plan that  by hiring one such person to come round to my flat, generally hangout, and occasionally shout about someone being a shambles I can repeat the Apprentice experience without being exposed to Katie. Which can't be bad.

Sadly, judging by the quality of some of the lookalikeys out there. The only person saying, "You're fired" will be me. Ah well, there is always the next series.
