The creator of BBC's The Responder was praised as he issued a perfect response to Lord Alan Sugar's Scouse jibe.
Tony Schumacher received critical acclaim for his hit BBC 2 drama, which followed a morally compromised urgent response officer tackling a series of night shifts on the beat in Liverpool. The show was inspired by the former Merseyside Police officer's experiences working for the force and Martin Freeman played lead character, Chris Carson.
The show earned a string of nominations and awards, but it seemed not everybody was a fan as Alan Sugar took to Twitter to question why the actors in the Liverpool-set show had Scouse accents.
