Synopsis
The ITV press office pretends this is all real. Let's humour them.
- A brand new game show based in a fctional zoo on a Japanese island in which the contestants are trapped by apes who force them into a number of challenges. The apes are looking to understand what makes humans tick.
Three celebrities take part in the tasks. One of them cannot see, one cannot hear, and one cannot talk.
It's like in the proverb, where three wise monkeys see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil. And it's like in the other proverb, where three celebrities appear on ITV2 and do silly things for charity.
Inventor
James Donkin, who also produced the show.
Title music
Helen Greenham and John Greenham, credited as "Composer".
Trivia
The "monkeys" were performers in ape suits, differentiated by shade and other markings. Someone had to train the actors, and we end up with an unlikely credit: "Lead Ape Choreographer - Peter Elliott".
