Watch Toyah and Robert Fripp cover Iggy Pop's Real Wild Child

Just when you thought things couldn't get any stranger in the Worcestershire kitchen of Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox, the adventurous couple have scaled some extraordinary new heights.

This week's Sunday Lunch broadcast finds the pair in an adventurous mood, with King Crimson man Fripp donning a plague doctor mask and an ornate, colourful headdress, while Toyah dances in an oversized birdcage.

The week's music – which, we must say, we almost failed to notice, such is the magnificence of the footage – is a scrappy take on Iggy Pop's 1986 hit Real Wild Child (Wild One).

"There is no cage that can hold this wild one!" bellows Fripp, his voice muffled through his mask as Willcox vainly attempts to escape her cage. "And it doesn't get wilder than Toyah and Robert's Sunday Lunch. Argggh!"
