'Young Apprentice' UK, Propping
« on: Nov 20, 2012, 12:39 pm »
I'm not sure if readers based outside of the UK will be able to watch this online, but the latest issue of the UK TV show 'Young Apprentice' had the contestants set a task to obtain props, ostensibly for the English National Opera. It's pretty unrealistic, as their budget seems to be huuuuuuuge, and they are chauffeured around London rather than shlepping around on the tube, and they don't have access to the internet, only the Yellow Pages and mobile phones, but it's worth a giggle.

Disclaimer : I didn't watch the whole programme as the contestants seem to spend more time arguing and blaming each other for failure than they do actually sourcing props. Maybe they need to spend a bit of time in theatre learning what teamwork is !
