I am currently trying to organise a stag weekend for my cousin, and my other cousin, (his brother) told me that he was listening to Radio One the other day and a guy phoned in saying he would dress up as an umpa lumpa and handcuff himself to a stag for the night. I think this would be an hilerious prank to have at his stag night, but I can't find this 'umpa lumpa' for love nor money. I was wondering if anyone could help me get the details of this guy as it would be an unforgetable sight to see this fella handcuffed to my cousin for the night. Hahaha.

If anyone knows how to get hold of him it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Dan

Do you even know what an Oompa Loompa is? Wouldn't it be funnier to dress him up as something you actually understand?

Oompa Loompa's were a fictional race of tiny Men who helped run the factory in Roald Dahl's Charlie and the chocolate factory.

In the 1971 film adaption, they looked like this - Image

In the 2005 film adaption, they looked like this - Image

And neither of those manifestations looks anything like Roald Dahl's description of them.

It was better, but it still misses the point though.

The old film was a terrible misrepresentation of the book; I've not seen the new one. I don't think there was a single film adaptation of one of Dahl's books that he himself was actually happy with, although there was an alternative ending to The Witches that he would have been happy with had it been used. I suspect he would have been happy with Matilda, had he lived to see it.

Isn't that Dale Winton? I thought you said it was fancy dress?

No, the screenplay was written by the same guy who wrote 'The Omen'

Dahl did write the screenplay for 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' though
