Good Reality TV shows. (Probably a very short thread).

Castaway 2000 was a BBC show that sent maybe 40 people, including children and oldish people, to live on a remote Scottish island for a year. There was a degree of artifice in that they had no tv, phones or internet, but otherwise their hardships were caused by trying to build a community, farm, warm their houses, etc. It was a social experiment, really.

I liked that show, partly because there was no competition introduced; it was just about how the people get along with each other. Generally, some of the UK reality shows are better than the US equivalent. (For example, the UK episodes of Kitchen Nightmares are better than the American ones.)
