I did see a programme about a couple of lawyers who bought a chateau in France with all their money, because they thought they were on to a great deal - ie it was unbelievably cheap. Trouble was it was falling apart, and quickly. When they arrived, the old bloke who’d been living there showed them the 500 year-old fuse box, handed them the keys, in exchange for a big suitcase of cash, and with a “bon chance!” and a skip in his step, he was never seen again…

If you can get hold of The Apprentice somehow, I recommend it, even though I have a sneaky that it will annoy you intensely.

As it’s the second series, though, it’s inevitably lost some of the joyful innocence of the last series, and more confrontation, more swearing, more breakdowns, all are pretty much guaranteed instead, imo.

Can’t help the feeling that the editing is fairly brutal at times, too. Par for the course, though, I s’pose.

Here in Switzerland the only UK tv I can get is a BBC Changing Rooms, a special channel dedicated to people who buy a castle in France and then wonder why they weren’t told that the sewage pipe just empties into the bottom of the garden. It also has cooking shows, and redecoration shows. It’s quite nice to be able to read a summary of the TV that you’re missing.

Reading that was better than any advert I could ever seen on TV…..I’ve got a reminder to tune in next week but I’m not sure its going to be as good as the review!

Hope you’re well cyb.
