So you thought we’d hit the big time when Calum Best came for a spruce up whilst filming Celebrity Come Dine with Me? Well you haven’t seen anything yet. You guessed it: another TV show just couldn’t imagine filming their latest series without having a segment filmed in the newly refurbished Pall Mall Barbers. I can’t blame them; we’ve flawlessly combined luxurious tradition with modern style. I’m no architectural expert but hey where’s our prize?!
Ok enough of my boasting, back to the story. So Sky called wanting to do some filming for their next series of Pineapple Studios. The job involved a couple of haircuts and styling, so Rich decides it’s time he took his place in the limelight and give a fabulous haircut to…well we all presumed Louie… But when the film crew came they were accompanied by - and here we all had to do a double take – the sporting legend David Beckham and the comedy genius Ricky Gervais; well to be more specific, his famous character David Brent. Who knew they were such good friends? Well actually I need to come clean. Though I’m sure Brent and David would jump at the chance of having a haircut or luxury wet shave from one of our talented and skilled barbers, on close inspection - and yes it had to be close inspection - we realised they were in fact professional celebrity lookalikes. But these guys were good. I mean you’d have to be, to get cast in Pineapple Dance Studios, the TV show, but that wasn’t their first big break. If you’re a fan of Britain’s Got Talent maybe you remember The Chippendoubles? If you haven’t seen it, have a look on YouTube – I’m not a committed viewer of Britain’s Got Talent, but this has to be one of the funniest routines, where David and Brent are joined on stage by other remarkable lookalikes such as; Will Smith, Daniel Craig, Mr. T, Gordon Ramsey and more.
What was most remarkable about David and Brent (I could give you their real names but it would just ruin the illusion) was how they have completely assimilated their famous alter ego personalities. David smiled and acted coy and obsessively looked at himself in the mirror. I’m sure Rich would tell you that was because of how good a haircut he gave but I have a feeling David would have been winking at his reflection regardless of the result of the operation above his brow. The real fun though happened when Brent got into the chair. He had the beard, the cheap suit and all the mannerisms of the tragically funny businessman from Slough. Anyway, Brent got into the chair and Rich, who had been psyching himself all day to try and handle the bitchy humour of Louie, decided to chat with Brent. You couldn’t have scripted it better. Rich asked questions from one manager to another about management skills and getting on in business and Brent superbly dug himself a hole. Before we knew it, he had, quite accidentally, implied that he had had sex with David Beckham so as to improve his job prospects. David didn’t help the situation by only blushing and laughing in true Beckham style when faced with these statements. I guess he only takes offence when prostitutes and nannies make those sorts of allegations.
Safe to say that Brent and David left the barber shop that day thrilled with their haircuts and we all had an extremely entertaining day. I just hope not too much is lost in the edit of the episode on Pineapple Studios. It would be a shame not to see Rich and Brent sparring away. We’re told to watch out for it in the next series which should be aired sometime this winter.
And now I must leave you and my laptop as the Friday lunchtime rush is upon us. One guy’s talking with his friend about getting spruced up for the Christmas work party. Dear god, can they really start this early?!
