what would your business plan be, i thought of a company where you pay me a small fee and i will ring your broadband/satellite/whatever provider and threaten to cancel “my” subscription unless they give “me” a better rate, then i would take a small % of your first 3 months savings

Does Alan ever watch the task from afar in disguise or is he a lazy shit every day of his stupid life? Like I’ve not watched in about ten years is the format no different?

The Del Boy fella who looks like Rob Beckett is excellent value. Won’t make the interview stage though.

He was excellent! I imagine I’ll be sick of him after a few episodes though

Does anyone remember Liz Locke from series 6? I had a massive crush on her.

My mate appeared on a Spurs podcast with him a couple of months ago. Brought two punnets of grapes into the studio with him despite signs all over saying not to bring food in, was apparently a top guy generally.

Exactly the kind of life I hoped he’d be leading.

Cockney guy is hilarious/awful. He looks a bit like Biff from Back to the Future and former WWE man Jack Swagger.

He looks like Rob Beckett crossed with young Michael Caine crossed with mid-period Churchill.

Hahaha, YES! Spot on. Really hope he gets to do the “buy 10 items” challenge, he’ll be amazing.

Can’t believe the prices they were selling these tours at, I was in Cape Town/Winelands for a wedding last Feb and we paid £12 each to go on a 2 hour range drive where we saw giraffes, zebras and other animals (no big 5 but give a fuck about a rhino) followed by a wine tasting.

The cheapest wine tour tickets they were selling were £30 each!

Did enjoy the transition of boring South Africa facts to IN THE JUNGLE THE MIGHT JUNGLE sing song

I was thinking the other day how good it would be if someone’s business plan was a worker’s cooperative.

Team leader whispering within a semi-huddle beside the expectant customers:

“We need to get the rock painting out the way ASAP so they can get into the gift shop. We might fail this task by not taking much on the merchandise.”

Biff Tannen’s younger brother still whispering within a semi-huddle RIGHT BESIDE the expectant customers:

YEAH GET THIS FACKING ROCK DRAWING DONE LIVE-O THEN 'AVE 'EM SPEND SPEND SPEND IN THE GIFT SHOP, LIKE IT!

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a rhino tiptoe across the road in front of your car. Any SA big wildlife tour where you don’t see an elephant, you’ve been fleeced, but there their odds of seeing a leopard were a little long to be being all promisey.

I’d have gone for the wine tour. Piece of piss to organise, piece of piss to hack commission out of wine sales and absolutely nobody will complain about being driven around all day getting pissed.

Yeah I was being glib, rhinos are cool. The game drive I went on was an add-on to the wine tasting to get punters in, but we saw a decent number of good animals.

Definitely agree that wine was an easier sell. Also don’t think the girls team got enough credit for sorting out what looked like a pretty good lunch at the last minute. I thought they’d turn up with some sarnies and a multipack of crisps and call it luxury and high-end.

Pretty sure, on my tour round Stellenbosch, lunch was the guide pointing us at the café in one of the wineries. Can’t quite remember though.
