Hi guys,
I have been in touch with you about previous TV productions, and we have a BRAND NEW show which I’d like to invite you to take part in!
Do you want to set up your friends on a major new hidden camera show? We are looking for people to set up their mates for fun and silly pranks as part of a brand new series of Olivia Lee: Dirty Sexy Funny on Comedy Central!
For now we are looking for people to set up their friends for what they think is a free beauty treatment by a recently qualified therapist;
1 On Wednesday 25th August we are offering a free nail consultation at a top nail salon. Little do they know that the person about to give them a manicure will be Olivia... If you have a female friend who would love to have her nails done for free and you’d like the set them up for a joke, then this is perfect for you!
2 On Thursday 26th August we are offering a free spray tan at a chic tanning salon – spoiled only by the fluorescent-orange coloured beauty therapist. Whether you have a female friend who loves a fake tan or you know a confident guy who isn’t shy to spray on a little bit of colour, then this is the shoot for you!
3 Also on Thursday 26th August we are offering a free tattoo consultation and stencil by the world’s kookiest tattoo artist at one of Central London’s best tattoo parlours to the stars! If you know someone who is thinking of getting a tattoo and wants to try some options for free, this is the perfect hidden camera prank we could play on them!
These shoots should be perfect for someone who lives in London or the surrounding area, is free that day, and of course has a sense of humour, so get your thinking caps on! If selected, please do not tell your friends. Simply get in touch with us now for more information about these shoots, and you could see yourselves featuring in the latest big new comedy prank show on TV!
To apply email us your details on the attached form, to: takepart@tigeraspect.co.uk
To find out more about the show go to: http://www.comedycentral.co.uk/shows/dirty-sexy-funny-olivia-lee
PLEASE NOTE - YOU MUST BE AGED 18 YEARS OR OVER!
Also, we will be looking to set up loads more people in September and October, so even if these pranks don’t work for you, get in touch and we can let you know what we have coming up!
Thanks,
Mike & The Olivia Lee Team

Dear Michael
I am writing with regard to your call for ‘friends’ to be set up on your new hidden cameras show. I can think of no one more deserving of a good shock than my friend Gill Gamesh. She has never had a tattoo before but has asked for one as a birthday present or “birthoo”. I would love to see her face when confronted by a ‘kooky’ tattoo artist as I’m sure she would find it very amusing when the tattoo artist was doing all the tattoos wrong or drawing pictures of skelingtons when she actually wanted a rose!
She definitely has a good sense of humour as I recall she once saw an old man topple off his disabled buggy and she laughed uproariously.
Please let me know when you will need me to bring my friend.
All the best

Hi Rou,
Sorry for the delay to your email. Are you still interested in being involved in the show?
Do you think that your friend Gill would be a good candidate for the Tattoo prank?
Thanks

Hello Charlotte
Or course I still want to be involved as I belive their is nothing more important than the good work done by the people in the television industry. For instance I doubt very much my parent's marriage would have lasted so long did they not have the 'goggle box' to distract them.
I think my friend Gill would make an excellent candidate for the tatoo pranks as she is extremely trusting and tends to react explosively to bad news. She does however have an excellent sense of humour and is always telling jokes i.e Q. Where do shoes come from? A. Schubert!
All the best

Hi Rou,
Love the joke!! I also think the TV has kept my parents marriage together too!
Anyway Gill sounds great and exactly the sort of person we are looking for.
The set up is going to be next Thursday (26th Aug) at a Tattoo Parlour in Leicester Square. It will be around 2-3pm.
Is that going to be feasible? If so it would be great if I could give you a call. What is your mobile number?
Thanks

Dear Charlotte
I’m glad you enjoyed the joke although I’m sure you would agree that the breakdown of a marriage is no laughing matter.
It sounds feasible but I will have to find out what Gill is up to that day I think she normally does Shaq-Fu on a Thursday but I’m sure she would miss it if I offered to buy her a tattoo!
I’m not exactly sure I know where Leicester Square is though, is it near the big Odeon? If you could give me some directions that would be great.
Unfortunately I do not have a mobile telephone at present as Gill actually threw mine in the river as a joke. (She said she wanted to see Time Fly) Hence why I want to play a practical joke on her. She has ordered me a new one from the carphone warehouse but they seem to be taking ages. In my opinion it’s more like the carphone whorehouse!
I will let you know the number as soon as my new phone comes.
All the best

P.S I’m very interested to know about this funny tattoo you will be giving to gill, could you let me know some details or is it all top secret? I for one would find it highly amusing if the ‘tattoo artists’ continually made racist remarks and said they were going to draw on swastikas!

Hi Rou,
The ideas is that Olivia plays the part of the Terrible Therapist/Tattooist.
She will, for example, give Gill a Tattoo consultation and advise her on different styles of Tattoos. She is quite crude and will probably suggest having a rude symbol on her back/shoulder. Weirdly we were thinking a Swastikas!!
Anyway it will only be a consultation so nothing permanent.
The venue is called Extreme Needle and is near Leicester Square in Central London. The big Odeon is in Leicester Square. Do you live in London?
Let me know if this could work ?
Thanks
Charlotte

Dear Charlotte
That sounds pretty funny but I think it would be much funnier if you said you were doing the tattoo i.e. on Gill’s back and then pretended you were tattooing her but really you were just scratching her with a needle from a record player. Either that or you could draw on a rude symbol with a felt pen and say it was a ‘new sort of tattoo’.
As for the Swastikas you could probably say that “Great minds think alike.” However I do worry that it might be a little controversial for some viewers and wouldn’t like to become embroiled in an Andrew Sachgate type situation. (For some reason people seem to object to using Nazi paraphernalia for comic purposes. Political correctness gone mad if you ask me! Maybe they should be more concerned about the man I saw in HMV who actually did have a swastika tattoo ON HIS FACE.) As I say I was a little worried so I thought of some other things that she might suggest.
1. Mens “Organs”
2. Swear words.
3. Womens “Organs”
I don’t live in London but I can easily get their. It’s very odd as I go to that big Odeon all the time and never knew it was in ‘Leicester Square’! I think I vaguely know where you mean though, does the shop say “Extreme Needle” on the front or is that a different shop?
I think this may well work but I am still waiting to hear from Gill on what she is doing that day. She is a real scatter brain and never looks at her emails! (I would phone her but as previously stated she has cast my phone into the river)
All the best
R.LaFemme
P.S On a personal note I am quite a big fan of Olivia if you know what I mean. Do you think we might get the chance to meet her after the prank and have a ‘few words’.? It would certainly make my day!

Oh dear, I’m an idiot. Who are you?
To be honest alarm bells did starting ringing after Shaq-Fu, zero knowledge of Leicester Square and your phone being thrown in the river.
Who are you? Part of the evil Charlie Brooker gang? You pesky Zeppotron kids.

"Charlie Brookers gang" - If only!
It took the man from Come Dine with Me about a month to work out so you aren't that much of an idiot.
