Explanation

"And... cut!" Someone shouted over a megaphone.

"Wait," Paul said, confused. "...What?"

"Oh, thank God!" Mary Ann began undoing her hair, as everyone began walking out of the hut.

"I am so confused right now, but those headhunters let me go, so..." Ringo started walking out of the forest.

A balding man with glasses with a clipboard walked out and towards the Professor. "Russell, that was amazing! And you've got a phone call waitin' for ya."

"So... what? I'm confused. I can't think when I'm hungry!" George complained.

"That... would explain so much..."

"Oh, Sherwood, do tell them." Mrs. Howell said, taking the hat off her head.

"Some bird just handed me crutches," John walked out of the hut with crutches, confused as everyone else. "Will someone please explain to me what's going on?"

"Well... we might have faked the shipwreck."

"WHAT?!?" The four asked.

"And we've been playing in character the whole time..." Gilligan said in an almost non-Gilligan way.

"So, you guys are just actors?"

"Of course!" Mr. Howell remarked. "My real name is Jim Backus, also known for my work as Mr. Magoo. My real wife is my darling Henny."

"Mr. Who?!?"

"Oh, I'm Natalie Schafer, and my husband unfortunately has passed." Mrs. Howell said, almost embarrassed.

"I'm Tina Louise, and the Professor's really Russell, Mary Ann's really Dawn, Skipper's really Alan, and Gilligan's really Bob."

"How the-"

"It was alot of work, but we wanted to pull this off with genuine expression." Sherwood explained.

"*many things are said here but cannot be shown for the sake of younger audiences and due to many other reasons.*!"

"Um, Mr. Schwartz?" The camera man asked.

"This better be important, what?!?"

"Um, the camera-"

Sherwood pinched the bridge of his nose. "What about the camera?"

"It, um, was on for so long and kind of... melted the film."

"YOU. (____)ING. SERIOUS." Sherwood took a deep sigh and hit himself with the clipboard. "All of it?"

"All of it."

"Nothing can be saved?"

"Nothing."

"WAIT A SECOND! I GOT IN A DRESS FOR NOTHING?!?"

"It still looks pretty cute on you, Macca." John giggled. Ringo turned around and saw Paul dressed like a girl for the first time and began laughing hysterically.

"Pretty much, yeah."

"Wait, what about the headhunters?"

"Also actors."

"Brian is going to get so-"

"What about me, Paul?" Brian said, walking out along with a few more gaffers. "I was basically the mastermind behind this whole thing."

............

After a little more explanation, they all understood and began leaving the studio.

"How's it feel to be out of that dress?"

"It's Heaven to be back in trousers."

"So you knew about this all along, Bri?"

"Of course, I had this planned between Sherwood and I since January."

"Can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually want to get back to touring." Ringo said.

"Not until John's ankle's better, but that shouldn't take too long."

"How long'll it take till we get back home?"

"Oh, three hours."

(Please tell me if anyone actually got that joke, or if I just put that in for nothing.)
