Description
The Island is a groundbreaking format that explores whether modern men and women are tough and resourceful enough to survive on a remote uninhabited island while stripped of all modern conveniences and basics from their everyday life.
Each of the participants will be taken to the very edge of human endurance. They’ll have to hunt for their food, source water, make fire, erect shelter, build a community and try to survive using only strength, determination, and some basic tools.
The Island doesn’t include any of the usual reality show trappings. There are no prizes. No eliminations. No winner. And no professional camera crews following the participants. The pioneering use of embedded crew and footage obtained from the participants themselves makes this a format like no other.
Spin-off Treasure Island adds a £100k of treasure to the mix.
