May 1, 2007 (Press Release) --
Veteran broadcaster Michael Parkinson has savaged the ‘vulgarity’ of hit reality show, The Apprentice.
The chat show host labeled Sir Alan Sugar’s high-profile search for a thrusting business executive as ‘confrontational vulgarity’.
“I find that kind of television offensive,” he tells Heat magazine. “That kind of TV is responsible nowadays for a lot of bad social behaviour.
“So, when you see Sir Alan Sugar barking ‘You’re fired’ at people with a kind of smug look on his face, I think it’s fundamentally rude.
“It’s one of those shows based on some kind of confrontational vulgarity.”
