TOILET HUMOUR ON
TARANSAY
THE Taransay castaways
have groceries delivered to them each week to spare them having to catch
fish, they’ve been put up in comfortable off-island flats when
they’ve had the sniffles, and they’ve even been allowed luxuries
such as a computer, radios and a washing machine. But still they are not
happy.
Tired of having excrement splashed on their clothes as they carry toilet
buckets to a nearby midden to make compost, the latter-day Robinson
Crusoes have forced the makers of the programme to provide them with
proper Ladies and Gents facilities.
Despite being taught how to manage smelly compost toilets in their
initial training course, the reality has proved too difficult to face
for the 36 castaways, who are spending a year on uninhabited Taransay in
the Western Isles for BBC’s Castaway 2000 docu-soap.
‘They became worried that there was a health risk in getting splashes
on themselves.
‘They demanded something be done,’ said a series insider.
To appease the group’s increasingly militant Toilet Committee, a
plumbing firm from Stornoway was summoned by the show’s producer’s
last
week. The plumbers came up with the idea of constructing four sets of
male and female toilets over a small midden.
‘The idea is that each set of toilets will last about three months
before the pile gets too big and has to be shovelled away and levelled.
‘They will then move on to the next set of toilets.’
In theory, because of the toilet rota in place, each castaway should now
only have to shovel excrement once during the year.
‘There is now no carrying of heavy buckets of poo involved,’ said
the source.
Iain Marvin, whose Stornoway-based plumbing company was said to have
built the toilets, refused to comment on his firm’s contribution to
the
castaways' comfort."
