The Real Swiss Family Robinson BBC1 9pm Fridays
 

This is a 4 part one hour Docu.
Starts tonight.
4 familys
Tonight is the Dyes from Essex
the dad went bankrupt and wanted to take his family
on this venture , Real Island.
8,000 miles away near Aussie land.

They are given a Pig
(alive and ready to kill when hungry)
but his teen kids say we buy it killed already
in the supermarket.
The dad gets angry and says this is what it is all about
we must try to live this way.

So the 3 weeks are
compacted into the one hour.

With clever Endemol Editing
another show that many interest some
in these bad times.

"Andy Dye and his wife Vicki have lived the good life for the last decade, enjoying all the luxuries they could afford, courtesy of Vicki's job running her own recruitment company and Andy's building firm, which also employed 21-year-old daughter Charlotte and her boyfriend Tom. Along with 13-year-old daughter Courtney, they all live in Essex.
As the recession hit, Andy's building business collapsed, leaving three of them out of work, and Andy questioning whether or not all the hard work was all worth it, and whether the three-car, three-holiday lifestyle was what he wanted anymore. So he persuaded the family to leave their creature comforts behind and join him on a life changing adventure - three weeks on a deserted island. Here they face the ultimate family test and re-evaluate their lives."

On in a few mins.

I taped this
the typical Production keeps saying 'Coming up'
then shows what you will see again.
that is so it can go straight to Commercial UKTV channels.
But in a one hour show you do not need to know what is coming up
in the next 15mins on the BBC.

It is hard for the Mother
on this wild Island of Aniraki.


I get the Feeling Ange7 poster would do OK here.
