The Supervisor: You're Fired!

In a dramatic finale to the hit TV show The Supervisor, a laser scientist from Imperial College has beaten a UCL antimatter professor to win the right to supervise Simon Chard in his PhD. More than 5 million tuned in to watch the UCL professor hear the immortal words "you're fired!".

In The Supervisor, contestants had to battle it out in a series of gruelling tasks designed to find out which supervisor was the friendliest, most helpful and had the best project. One highlight of the show was a task which saw contestants plied with alcohol, then evaluated to see who was the most interesting when drunk. The eventual winner, a suitably intoxicated Imperial professor regailed TV viewers with a flawless rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. The episode then ended with the firing of a Cambridge professor who started a long and drunken argument with Simon about how Cambridge was better than Imperial.

Throughout the series, the winning contestant skillfully played on his previous experience at working for Simon as his Masters' supervisor. Explaining his decision, Simon praised him as a "cool" supervisor, who had a "badass project" that was too good to resist.

Following the success of the show, the BBC and Simon already have plans to produce a sequel, called The Girlfriend. Hot applicants are invited to apply at http://quantumangler.blogspot.com/.
