We’re well-used to our film studios playing host to all manner of big names from the worlds of showbiz and sport, but we have to admit that the scene which has been erected in Studio 1 over the last two days has amazed even we. Because in celebration of that snacker’s favourite, Cadbury Dairy Milk, achieving a million ‘likes’ on Facebook, a monumental chocolate sculpture is currently under construction...

With the largest of our beloved Waterloo Film Studios having been transformed into the kind of wondrous purple-and-white chocolate factory which would bring a tear of joy to even Willy Wonka’s eye, the Dairy Milk crew are hard at work at fashioning a gigantic imitation of the Facebook ‘like’ thumbs up sign.

This writer has been down for a snoop around, and the sculpture itself is looking really rather magnificent – and well it might, what with a whopping three tons of Cadbury chocolate being used in its build. There is still plenty of work to be done, mind, including the all-important thumb itself, so keep an eye on progress throughout the day over at facebook.com/cadburydairymilk.      

There’s also the chance for you to get involved too: if you add yourself to Dairy Milk’s burgeoning army of ‘likers’, then you could very well see your Facebook profile pic scrolling across the screen on the live feed from the studio.  Now, as to what is happening to all that chocolate after the sculpture is done… well, there’s a few interested takers here in the Spectrecom office. Fingers crossed…
