The influence of The Apprentice knows no bounds. Even the prime minister Gordon Brown is said to be getting in on the act.
But will he be tuning into Anna Pickard's live blog on Organ Grinder tonight?
The prime minister is being urged, apparently, to consider taking part in an Apprentice-style show for aspiring young politicians.
Sounds crushingly dull, I'm sure you'll agree, and nowhere near as scintillating as tonight's episode of reality TV heaven, where the two teams of aspiring apprentices have to sell wedding dresses, or something like that, in an episode the official site intriguingly titles "wedding day disasters". I can't wait.
**SPOILER ALERT** You can watch a teaser for tonight's episode, incuding seeing Raef in a teddy bear suit, on the BBC site here.
For those who find 9pm on BBC1 too far away, catch up on Anna's blog from last week.
