TV Review of the Week: Ludicrous error on The Apprentice says much about embarrassment

IF I was a really boring person, I’d talk about how this week’s episode of The Apprentice (Wednesday, BBC1) was all about the gender divide, looking at how some men may be dismissive of women’s concerns, and how Harrison stood back from the rough and tumble of the task as he didn’t know anything about women’s fashion and didn’t seem especially keen to learn: what kind of big strong alpha male concerns himself with dresses and frills? But I’m not a boring person, so I won’t. Instead, I’m going to talk about the dread of being embarrassed.
