ROB CASTELL IS 'PLAYING IT STRAIGHT'

Rob is
currently
appearing
in the E4
primetime
reality TV
show
'Playing it
Straight' made by LionTV. Rob plays one of two storytelling troubadours who pop in and out of the action singing about what's going on, doing little pastiche numbers and bringing in the tension with some epic spanish style songs about who's who in the show
"cue lots of shots of me in and around a villa either dressed as a matador or in some other silly outfit, making confused faces and singing (hopefully) witty lines packed with innuendo. If nothing else, it was so much fun and we've written loads of little songs, as well as the underscoring and stuff and the titles track, so hopefully it's a good profile raiser!"
Don't miss it!
