They also appeared in children's shows Tiswas and Blue Peter, and visitors flocked to see their infamous, messy tea parties. According to the zoo, year-old Choppers is the last surviving PG Tips chimp after her co-habitant Louis died in their Twycross enclosure in July. Louis was the star of one of the more memorable PG Tips adverts - when two chimpanzee removal men tried to get a piano down a flight of stairs. He played the bowler hat-wearing Mr Shifter and the advert's punchline went: "Dad, do you know the piano's on my foot?

The zoo, which benefitted from revenue raised from the PG Tips ads, has since said the use of the apes was wrong and has now highlighted the damage it caused the animals in later life. Choppers, who played Ada in the commercials, is still, in old age, learning how to be a chimpanzee.

Her insularity and unwillingness to integrate with other chimps was caused by the close bonds she formed with people, according to Sharon Redrobe, Twycross Zoo's chief executive.

Dr Charlotte Macdonald, the zoo's head of life sciences, said the fact Louis and Choppers lived so long as a pair was a clear sign things were not right. Ms Macdonald said the two apes also misunderstood members of their own species. A chimpanzee might offer his or her hand, or pout, in an act of friendship, but the PG Tips chimps failed to understand non-verbal communication, according to the zoologist.

She said they would get nervous, or run away and in some cases become aggressive. However, the death of Louis has inadvertently helped Choppers relate to other chimps because he is not around anymore to provide support. Sharon Redrobe's leadership of the zoo is very different from that of Molly Badham, who co-founded the park in Ms Badham, who died in , had owned a zoological collection since and was as much a celebrity as the chimps, often appearing with the animals on TV.

She told the BBC in the apes enjoyed dressing up for their television work. Ms Badham said: "They were very proud of their clothes… I remember one wanted to wear the shoes it had all the time.

And they loved riding bicycles. Tea parties used to be a highlight both for the chimps and visitors to the zoo. However, Ms Badham was aware how these activities became frowned upon.

She said: "Attitudes have changed now about what you do with animals. But I do know my chimps loved it. The zoo now actively promotes conservation - it is also known as the World Primate Centre - and the animals' enclosures are matched as closely as possible to wild habitats. Ms Macdonald said there was no question the animals were ever treated badly and recently studied some old footage of the PG Tips apes in action.

They were enjoying themselves and having fun. Ms Redrobe supports this view and said she could not deny that in the moment of dressing up, or getting covered in cake during a tea party, the animals were having a good time.

However, the problem come later when they enter adulthood, and became potentially harmful to human beings. She said: "They hit adolescence and have a huge growth spurt and then have the potential to become aggressive. Dr Macdonald said chimps could be five or six times stronger than human beings.

As chimpanzees have a social hierarchy, if they are participating in a human world they could easily challenge a person, with possibly fatal consequences. Ms Redrobe added: "At some point you're going to have to put them in a cage. Festival Monkey - Glastonbury High 5.
