In each episode of The Really Really Rude Puppet Show, Mel Giedroyc invites a different celebrity to read an erotic piece of creative writing where the celeb is the lead protagonist. Each character in the story is brought to life by a band of puppets voiced entirely by the celebrity and Mel. In each fanciful, unique story, the puppet versions of the celebrities will encounter romance, scandal, mystery, intrigue, and farce, with Mel finding out from the real-life celebrity just what they make of their fictionalised exploits.
The 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. Fan fiction writing has grown up in the age of the World Wide Web, with thousands of works published online every week and some of the most successful writers having gone on to achieve book and film deals, including, most famously, E.L. James's multi-million-pound raunchy romance franchise Fifty Shades Of Grey.
The series showcases new fan fiction writing and, with the help of top script editors, bring the best stories to screen.
