I have just watched Carol dressed up in her tight black velcro suit helping promote their product on The Apprentice with Ruby Wax + Co.

From what I saw, I must agree that it was more of a product for the over 50's rather than 5-8 year old kids.

Hopefully, I will be able to get my blood pressure back to somewhere near normal sometime later this evening.

I'd rather have seen Rachel in it!

I was pleased to see Carol on our screens too. And I loved that she did some quick sums on a couple of occassions too while the others tried to add up.
More tomorrow night I think...

I thought the boys idea was great too. I couldn't see the problem with the costs of 50 moulds to make them. Gogos http://www.magicboxint.com/gogos2008UK/gogos.html are a huge hit with all the kids I know (from Brighton to Edinburgh and in between) and there are 80 moulds and they sell at 99p for a 3 pack. Though the ones being pitched did look a bit more intricate than Gogos but I'm sure they could have been worked on.

Good lady, Carol!

It was nice to see Carol again on TV and that Stick Stuck idea was brilliant

I do hope there is more on tomorrow night

I saw her on TV...but only at the very end of the show. I intend to watch it today.

I, too, thought the boys' idea was more marketable. Don't see how the velcro suits will sell at all.
But, then, I have 4 sons, so maybe I'm more tuned in to boys toys.

I totally agree Julie - My son is a collectaholic so I think the boys had the right idea but Gerald Ratner was crap at selling it.

You can watch TV online anytime nowadays!

I recorded this last night and watched it earlier. Bloody hell, did you see Jonathan Ross looking amazed at Carol doing a not-very-hard bit of arithmetic like he'd never heard of the concept of numbers? Strewth. You know what the BBC should do to save money? Halve his salary but tell him it's a raise. I don't think he'd know the difference.

I was impressed by Jonathan Ross' knowledge of Pokemon, though there are 493 of them, not 350. He only got up to Sapphire/Ruby!

Carol also appeared on the first episode "The Apprentice: You're Fired" last night on BBC2, where she spoke about her time on the Comic Relief version.

Amazingly she wasn't the loudest celebrity on last night's show though - that honour went to Argumental's Rufus Hound, who shouted so loud it even drowned out her guffawing.

Rufus is always loud though. He was loud on Vorderman's Big Brain Game.
