Description
RDF Television for Channel 4
This brand-new series steps into the literary world of adult fan fiction – stories penned by hobbyist writers centred on amorous adventures about celebrities or characters from literature and pop culture.
Each episode will see the host invite different celebrity guests to an intimate book club for two. The guests will be handed an erotic fantasy story, in which they are the lead protagonist, and will be asked to read it aloud – every awkward moment. The sexually charged encounters have been penned by real fans, and with the help of script editors - these stories have been pulled together to create one enticing, raunchy and laugh out loud tale to surprise, startle and titillate. The host and the guest, neither of whom have a clue what the fans have written about them, will then have to read them out for the first time on camera as we film their hilarious reactions.
To bring these bedtime stories to life, key scenes are re-constructed – but instead of using actors and being thwarted by their nudity clauses, a band of puppets are used to act out every scene.
In each fanciful, unique story, the puppet versions of the celebrities will encounter romance, scandal, mystery, intrigue, and farce, with the host finding out from the actual celebrity just what they make of their fictionalised exploits and revealing unheard and revelatory anecdotes from their guests’ real lives.
This intimate, mischievous, surreal series catapults celebrities out of their comfort zone, as well as being hilariously dirty without ever going too far, it will be a night the celebrities, and the viewers, will never forget.
