Today's featured celebrity cast member is simian superstar, Alan Theape. Though our show is vegan-friendly, there are intimations of animal experimentation, with Alan being the obvious subject. Over the next couple of weeks, Alan's often bewildering observations on aspects of the production will be posted on this blog for you to decipher, interpret and enjoy.

What’s that ever-so-cool detective from
London, who used to be in The Wire
but now appears to have lost that ‘from the ghetto’ accent, doing in Brain without a Body, Alan?
Alan replies:
Well, Reginald, I have news for you. As the
series ended a week or two ago, he begged our production team for a place on The
Show, to fill in time before setting off for a well-earned rest in sunnier
climes...
Sadly his stipulations included an easy chair
at the back of Paradise in the Vault, transport to the venue (no, not on that
trolley) and, of course, the real deal breaker for us: to work with a set of professionals...
We could not offer him any of this so Idris
has now been replaced by a fibrous fruit, popular in the Far East, for that all
important shower scene...provoking the inevitable ‘keep us awake at night’
internet question: is it unsanitary to use a loofah in the shower instead of a
bath cloth?
The answer, of course, was clear only if you are not sure where he has been
and, thanks to BBC1, we know exactly where Loofah has been. Although he does
seem to have many many scrapes (or should that be exfoliates), Loofah always
seems to walk away smelling of roses without a hint of dead skin, and the
promise of another series....
Our Loofah is sanitary but, just in case, here is the wonderful Guide To Safe Use which we will be
working on between now and 13 August, when the whole thing kicks off....
