According to Neil Sean's The Biz, Aisleyne has told him that she plans to turn her "new tell all book" into a TV drama.

Apparently Ash would "play herself" but the content "would have to be toned down for TV."

Let's face it, for this to stand a chance of happening Aisleyne would have to get ALL the following people on board:-

1/ A big-shot TV company executive (ideally an Endemol-related company)
2/ A BAFTA nominated producer
3/ A BAFTA nominated scriptwriter
4/ A leading TV/media critic
5/ An influential broadsheet columnist

Now how could THAT happen?

Well in that case, there's the casting? Ash will be playing herself, so what about other roles? How about:

BB7

Imogen Thomas .......... Catherine Zeta Jones
Glyn Wise ..... Russell Tovey (Being Human) viz http://www.clydeandforthmedia.co.uk/crop/240/180/images/1010/123152...
Pete Bennett ..... Justin Timberlake (for the Spin the Bottle scene of course

)
Richard Newman ...... Two short planks (Canadian timber of course)
Spiral .... Liam Neeson
Nikki Grahame .... Helena Bonham-Carter or Bonnie Langford
Michael Cheshire .... Hugh Jackman (just in case Scruples logs in to forum)

Others

Charlie Brooker .... Daniel Day-Lewis
Mike Tyson ..... Jamie Foxx (essentially already cast by Mr Tyson himself) http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a153456/tyson-foxx-will-play-me-...
Amy Winehouse ..... Bonnie Langford or Helena Bonham Carter

Any alternative/further suggestions?

Digital Spy are running the story.

That might just provoke some "interesting" comment on the DS forum.

Actually, now I've read the book, I'm convinced it really would make an amazing TV drama, wouldn't it?

And in case they have cold feet about Aisleyne playing herself, I reckon there's a ready made Plan B, in that, for my money, Beth Cordingley has already passed the audition for the role in "Dead Set"!

You don't need me to tell you how Heatworld treat the story.

Still, they ARE publicising the book, and they say they DO like the title, so not all bad, eh?
