This show begins Tuesday May 5 at 8 pm on BBC America. It looks a lot better than the US celebrity version. Tuesday they will show the first 2 episodes back-to-back at 8 and 9. (I also get it at 5 and 6 Pacific time.)

Can't wait!

Red, I caught the UK version on CNBC last season and it was great. The only problem was it disappeared off CNBC before the series was over. I'm going to set my DVR for this - thanks for the reminder.

I don't know how to do links here, but the show has its own page off of bbcamerica.com. The players are all just people, not celebrities. It goes back to the original concept.

Wouldn't matter either way to me considering I don't know one UK celebrity from a UK non-celebrity but am looking forward to it.

I caught this tonight. I like the boss a lot better, at least as far as his camera presence goes. He's much more natural, as if the cameras aren't even there.

I recorded the two hour show last night so I won't get to watch it until this weekend.

I really enjoyed this show, but didn't they reverse the two hours? It seemed they showed us the second episode before the first. And they randomly put subtitles as if they think we can't understand some people when they speak. Others who are harder to understand don't have the subtitles. I'm just nitpicking here. This show is more interesting than Trump's IMO.

Watched the first show and it was the one shown on CNBC or some such channel earlier, but they didn't show all the episodes. I thouhgt it was a new group of people. What a gyp!

Will they be repeating it on there? I wanted to try it and completely forgot about it last night!

I have been watching this series, haven't watched the American counterpart non celebrity version in years so almost like rediscovering what is great about this format, plus I like Alan's side kicks more.

I just saw this show! Sir Alan Sugar is a real-deal business man. I haven't looked him up yet, but he doesn't have the posh attitude or accent and he seems to be full of the fire of a self-made man. He can teach you a lot, but that fire can singe your eyebrows off if you don't meet his mark. He doesn't have the same kind of ego that Donald Trump has. He's very matter of fact and tells the contestants up front that he doesn't like liars, he doesn't laziness, he doesn't like schmoozing, and he doesn't like bullsh*t! During the first episode I saw about the Jukebox, he told someone on the losing team that he had forgotten more bullsh*t than the contestant had ever learned! LOL! (I'm paraphrasing)

One thing I liked is that so far I've seen no Sugar Tower or Sugar Shack, or Sugar Water, or Sugar Casino in Blackpool, or Sugar Golf course, or Sugar International.

I just found him on Wikipedia, and he does have businesses that start with AMS in the name because those are his initials.

He is an arrogant SOB, but that's how he went from modest beginnings to being worth 1.6 billion dollars. I don't know if I like him or not, but I like that he's not afraid to speak his mind and be very straightforward with someone.

I have recorded the entire season. Next weekend I plan to totally veg out and watch every episode.

Gemma, very well said. I agree with everything. I really like this show, but then again, I guess I'm an Angliophile ( sp?), and watch a lot of BBC.
