This is it. The moment we’ve been waiting for since we realised that Lord Sugar was never going to see on his own that Stuart Baggs the brand is a ridiculous man. Yes, it’s time for the interviews episode of The Apprentice, undoubtedly the best part of every series. Who can forget Lee's dinosaur impression? Who can forget… no, that’s the only thing I remember about any of the other interview episodes. But still, the return of cloud-haired papyrus-wielding Margaret Mountford was a joyous prospect.
Stuart Baggs the brand is clearly also a fan. "Margaret!" he cried lovingly, as he entered the room and saw her across the table. In his head: trumpets were playing; a slow motion run towards her as they were magically transported to a field of galloping ponies; a lingering embrace. But alas it was not to be. She rapped his knuckles and became Miss Mountford for the rest of the interview.
Another highlight was learning that Chris referred to himself on his application form as a 'revered theology scholar'. Has he done a PhD? Is he well-versed in the Dead Sea Scrolls? Well no, but he did do RE at A-level. I'm shocked he wasn't asked to take part in the Christopher Hitchens Tony Blair debate, personally.
Other than that nothing overly exciting happened, I am disappointed to report. Stella breezed through, and dull Chris got the second place (despite Nick Hewer saying that he "droned on"), seemingly because Joanna is rubbish at interviews and Jamie had begun to do Gordon Brown-esque twitchy smiles which I imagine made everyone nervous.
So who's going to win? Presumably Stella, but we shall see on Sunday (note, not Wednesday), when she and Chris must design and market new alcoholic drinks. I suppose it will be nice to not have to go cold turkey from reality TV on Sunday night. And going by last weekend's standards, Take That are bound to make an appearance. It has been four whole days since they've appeared on television.
