Letter: A Quick Word ; the Apprentice

Dear Editor, is the BBC insulting the intelligence of its viewers? Are we really to believe The Apprentice is for real? I for one remain unconvinced. This is how I see it: The winner of the so-called competition to find Sir Alan Sugar a business ' whizzkid' will of course be Christine, who would have been chosen before the programme started because of her outstanding CV.
