shocked at how many think they're revealing something amazing by saying things are set up and contrived.
isn't it obvious that it's all set up otherwise they risk having nothing to film?
Usually only if they are consultants?
I don't believe any of the hotel stuff. They'd really drop their regular supplier just to have a day's worth of badly made, badly priced, most of it not turn up stock?
Of course they wouldn't, most of its just a set-up to make them look like twunts.
And then the bit at the end where the winning team go to the fancy restaurant - did you notice there were NO other customers in! Must have been filmed at 10am on a wet wednesday morning!
No - other way round I think. You can be a consultant without being a member of the Royal College of Surgeons (which is what gives you the "Mr" entitlement or affectation).
I used to work with a guy who applied for the apprentice...he was straight out of university, he thought he was the bees knees and used to lose his temper in meetings when people wouldn't do what he asked.
I always thought he would fit right in.

But not a Consultant Surgeon. Also, Fellows of the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists can style themselves 'Mr'. All other specialties generally keep the title 'Dr'.
As has been pointed out above, this chap on the apprentice left medicine after 4 years, which in surgery would make him an SHO. Even if he has got his MRCS, there is a general feeling in medicine that an SHO insisting on being called Mr is a knob until proven otherwise.
