RIFF RAFF IN THE HOUSE!

RICHARD O'BRIEN

Richard O'Brien is now rumoured to have signed up to CBB. I would love if this proves to be true as I think he would spook the life out of a lot of the more tender minded 'celebs' going in. He is brilliant and quick witted and would certainly make the show more interesting for many of us.

Richard O'Brien is the guy from the tv programme, the Crystal Maze. But to we fans of the Rocky Horror Picture Show (which he wrote), he will always be Riff Raff.

From Wikipedia:

"Richard Timothy Smith (born March 25, 1942), better known under his stage name Richard O'Brien, is an English-born, New Zealand-raised writer, actor, television presenter and theatre performer. He is perhaps best known for writing the cult musical The Rocky Horror Show and for his role in presenting the popular TV show The Crystal Maze. In addition to writing The Rocky Horror Show O'Brien also starred in its 1975 film adaptation The Rocky Horror Picture Show as the character Riff Raff. The stage show has been in almost continuous production since, and the cinematic version is one of the best known and most ardently followed cult films of all time."
