It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

All three, plus the hairier, more 'organic' variety
I usually hang fire from conducting any ablutions until the sack's outer crust has 'matured' nicely, rather like with a good Camembert.

I think they did a few years back with some celebrity chef.
Sadly 'Youth Hostelling With Chris Eubank' was never made although I have read that there was a TV advert for a Youth Hostel organisation which did feature Chris Eubank.
Still waiting for Sky to do 'Inner City Sumo' though. Cheap to make, do it in a pub car park.

In a 2011 interview with Richard Bacon on BBC Radio Five Live, Alan Partridge claimed that Monkey Tennis was picked up and was a popular show in Taiwan and Laos for two years after which it had reached the end of its natural life, as had some of the monkeys. He noted that surviving monkeys were "quickly and humanely destroyed". http://dictionary.sensagent.com/monkey%20tennis/en-en/
'Cooking In Prison' was a Gordon Ramsey show although they changed the title to 'Gordon Behind Bars' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Behind_Bars
