The Yorkshire Post says: The Apprentice is in danger of giving vital job schemes a bad name

Contrast this with The Apprentice which has become increasingly littered with fawning individuals whose talent rarely matches their over-sized egos. The TV reality show may be good entertainment in the eyes of some people, but it is in danger of giving apprentices a bad name.
Thank goodness there are so many firms, both big and small, flying the flag for apprenticeships here. Perhaps Lord Sugar should see this work for himself.
