I would be very surprised if the cab and cab driver aren't 100% pukka.

I don't normally watch the show but I caught something last night about the latest chap that got fired and at one point Sir Alan said to one of the apprentices "There is a taxi driver downstairs right now punching your address into his sat nav." Surely Londons finest don't use sat navs!

I know that and you know that but London cabbies have their own little world.

I've watched The Apprentice a few times and the aerial shots of London and Docklands are very good.
Makes London appear to be vibrant and exciting.

It is for the rich few...

A pukka cabby would be cheaper than a actor and the hiring in of a cab.

didn't the bbc used to own a couple of black cabs (unplated) ? I think they were used for running guests to and from the studios and for filming

Friend of mine got £100 for the day about 10 years ago to just drive away for a scene in Midsommer Murders or similar, got told not to wash the cab and had to sit around all day to take a shot of the leaving scene.

Sounds like a regular day on the taxis lately minus the £100 :shock:
