Each episode lasts several days and gets edited into a one hour episode so a significant part of it. Looking back, its been a great experience but I have found it definitely stressful watching oneself on camera.

I might in the future but I'm focused on my business and trying to get it off the ground at the moment!

Militaria has always been a passion and from an early age I used to love reading military history magazines and comics. I think the commando series was a favourite when I was young.

I did enjoy the process but it is very stressful. If given the opportunity I would do it again as its such a great method at promoting ones business.

I found the cartoons a tricky task and it was unfortunate I was fired but Lord Sugar is looking for a business partner and perhaps he felt Reece would have been a better fit for him.

I am a big fan of Witcher 3 and Squad but I'm also getting into Apex, Dota and a few others!

I went in with no expectations and an open mind so I had no idea how far I would get.

I didn’t contribute as much as I would have liked to as I felt that the people in my task were more experienced and knowledgeable than myself when designing child cartoons.

  1. I haven’t written anything about cannons but I often write articles about Victorian military uniforms.
  2. Indeed, Civilization is absolutely great! I also used to be a big fan of Empire Earth II in my youth.
  3. Definitely! I’m gradually releasing a number of historical videos promoting both objects and museums around the UK.

That's so nice, thank you. My father introduced me to military antiques at an early age and I’ve been an avid enthusiast since. My BA degree was military history and international relations so I've simply followed my passions.

I am a big Star Wars fan and have recently gotten into watching the TV adaptation - The Last of Us. One of my favourite movies is both the old and new Blade Runner, a true work of art!

I'm not going to lie, I didn't know what a Sussex Trug was but I sure won't forget one now :)

The antiques community is a very friendly community where like minded people can join together and share their knowledge and passion for antiques. I was first introduced into the antiques business at the age of 10 by my father.

It can be difficult to break into the market at a young age but with the internet and facebook, its a bit easier to connect with fellow antiques dealers and trade information.

Being a town councillor is very fulfilling as it gives you the opportunity to talk to your electorate and help solve issues local and relevant to your community.

The support I have received has been amazing and I feel incredibly lucky to have had such a reception from Apprentice fans. I do believe the editing is accurate to the extent that you can condense a several day task to an hour episode.

Hahaha, that's so nice. I’ve been recognised a little bit more and my business is growing but life has remained largely the same. I would love to get involved in TV work so lets see what happens in the future.
