We attempt to work out how all of that happened, beginning with a naked weather forecast from Ross's bath which resulted in Richard Whiteley being covered in pink gunge on live television. Along the way we'll hear what it was really like making hidden-camera comedy, why he walked away from the hit show Balls of Steel, whether prank television is worth getting arrested for, and how close he came to becoming famous for entirely the wrong reasons. Expect stories from behind the scenes, show business gossip and questionable career decisions. For more information visit Master J on Facebook.
