The Apprentice series 8 press launch

13 March 2012

We’ll admit it – The Royal Institute of British Architects in central London isn’t somewhere we normally hang out. But this morning, at 10am, we were in its cavernous screening room for the launch of the eighth series of The Apprentice. Attended by Lord Sugar, plus aides Karren Brady and Nick Hewer, and also the ladies and gentlemen of the press, we were treated to episode one (favourite quote, spoken by one of the hopefuls: ‘I’m like an ...

Death In Paradise

15 November 2011

Sainte-Marie may be an idyllic Caribbean setting, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t get its fair share of grisly killings in BBC1's Death In Paradise.

We're in one of London’s swankiest hotels, The Savoy, for 2011’s TVChoice Awards, and I’m here to interview the winners as they come off stage.
