An exclusive profile of British pop superstar Robbie Williams. It took a year and a half to get permission to film a lavish dance sequence on London’s Regent Street over four nights, as it is actually owned by the British royal family. Two nights before they were due to film, while they had spent a full week rehearsing at the studio where they were recording on the street, Queen Elizabeth II died and filming had to be postponed. Everyone had to be paid anyway, including the shops and crew, and the production’s insurance didn’t cover the losses caused by the monarch’s death, so the producers had to raise extra money to film the episode, which was filmed five months later. The title character, Robbie Williams, is portrayed as a chimpanzee. Robbie Williams is not actually a chimpanzee.
