The BBC broadcast a British version of The Apprentice, starring businessman Sir Alan Sugar, giving a bunch of wannabees the chance to get a large investment from Sugar in a new business of theirs.

It was partially my fault, in that I'd approached Alan Moore on behalf of the BBC's Today programme several years ago. Lost Girls was to be published, Alan Moore's magnum opus with his new wife Melinda Gebbie, that told sexualised stories for classic children's literature And naturally the moral guardians were outraged Moore and Gebbie were[...]
