The \'Castaway 2007\' Topic
 

The second season of Castaway UK starts during the first week of March 2007.

Castaway was the first ever BB style reality show to air in the UK. The first season lasted 366 days and ran from 1st January 2000 until 1st January 2001.

Over six years after it finished it is back. This time the contestants will be castaway on an Island in New Zealand (season 1 was in Scotland). It will run for 12 weeks.

The launch show and other live shows will be presented by Danny Wallace. Richard Bacon will present spin-off show Castaway Exposed on BBC3 (you may remember Richard Bacon as the host of Back To Reality). Also on BBC3 will be the daily show - Castaway: The Last 24 Hours.

Although not confirmed, it looks like there will be live streaming on the red button and also on the internet.

So how does Castaway work? Is there gonna be a winner at the end? or is it just like to see how they get along and all the drama and stuff?


lol, a bit of a difference!!

Still not sure if I'm going to watch it. Once I see some trailers/teasers, I'll make my mind up.

The identities of the 13 Castaways have been revealed ...

The thirteen are:

Francie: An eccentric 56-year-old who describes herself as "noisy, chatty and bossy".

Its so rubbish lmao:laugh:

I really liked it. Ill definitely be watching on Sunday.

I agree!
I watched 10 minutes of it and got bored

Its inhumanley dull!!

Give it a chance at least, i didnt see the first 20mins but from then onwards it was pretty good.

I watched it all. I nearly fell asleep. I never switch off after like 10 mins. I always give progies a chance.

I seen a bit of it but wasn't too impressed. Hopefully will get better with time.

Can I just ask whehter anyones still watching this tripe, or has it been axed?
Ive heard nothing about it

Its still on i think but i think its got really low ratings.

Yeah it's still on but it's been moved around the schedule which is never a good sign. I actually think it's gotten better over the last few weeks...

i saw 10 mins of it last night and i was so confused, this woman was saying she was being honest and voting for herself then she left, kinda confusing.

its big brother biggest rival im not watching that

i gave it a try and its s*** so im not watching again :yuk:
