It' that time of year again when the first buds begin to appear on the trees, the evenings stay lighter a little longer, the Six Nations prepares to kick of, and some of the worst wankers in Britain are sealed into shiny suits and made to jump through hoops on the telly for a business loan.

A full list of the wankers is easily found. This year (the twentieth anniversary!) there are 20 of the fuckers. Heaven help anyone trying to arrange a flat viewing in London when this is being filmed.

Standout arseholes from the front include Kieran, the self-styled "best estate agent in London", which is a bit like "Biggest cunt in the war crimes dock". There's Georgina, an actress who's self-consciously wacky. Rothna of the Bene Jesseret, whose disdain for everyone is actually quite sexy. Levi's the token northerner and meathead. Karishma's her off Derry Girls in an awful velvet suit. Conor from Ireland seems on course for the "Don't bullshit the master bullshitter" award. Andrea's clearly a Lorraine Ashbourne cosplayer. The rest all blend into one homogenous mass.

Anyway, we start with the scavenger hunt. They go off to Hong Kong, and are told to buy some things. They underestimate the size of the Fragrant Harbour, and get lost. They waste time. They get forced to do silly things for the amusement of savvy Hong Kong traders. They cannot read maps. They fuck up epically.

The girls fuck up more than the boys, so two of them get booted. Off goes Nikki (mortgage advisor and bland ambassador), followed by Georgina. The guys are told off for celebrating their not much of a win.

Afterwards, Angela Scanlon presents the reworked review show. Gone are the studio audience and funny content - instead we have some twat off Radio 2 an one of Sugar's grumpy mates. Scanlon is very lightweight. This does not bode well.

Jeebus. Sounds worse than ever before. Is that even possible?

Remember - Alan Sugar IS the UK's own Donald Trump.

Don't tell me... Big microphones?

Not quite. Scanlon was just fine presenting Robot Wars and is generally very likeable, but seems to a) want to make the show all about her, and b) comes across as really wanting to be funny.

The guests are, firstly, a very annoying radio presenter who constantly goes on about how massive a fan of the show he is, and how crazy he and all his friends are, and says "Oh my Gooooddd" while acting as if every incident on the show is a cultural moment on a par with JFK's assassination. And secondly, one of Sugar's mates who is actually quite dry and funny, but is not the right fit for this show. Just far too smart and insightful.

Just had a look at them, Karishma's suit really is odd, its like something out of the 80s put on a child.

Anyhow mostly business executives (whatever that means), estate agents or odd balls. Though was surprised to see a student wellbeing advisor on there.

Generally not the type of people who are usually arseholes.

Priyesh looks like hes got something stuck up his arse (though apparently there is a rise in people walking around with buttplugs inside them), Andrea could turn Hell cold with that stare.
