An overlooked gem
This was the original and best of the "survivor" type shows. It showed real people solving problems in the glorious British countryside, and combined elements of Ray Mears' style bushcraft and Krypton factor style problems to great effect. The only thing in the modern television schedule which comes close is Rough Science. For adventure seekers anywhere, the problems were never cruel tricks (as in Big Brother or I'm A Celebrity), but required thought and planning to solve them.
I am left wondering whether there are any "meatier" game shows out there with some kind of real interest for the contestants and viewers, rather than the rather tame, lazy and somewhat spiteful offerings that pass in the television schedules these days. "Now Get Out Of That" showed the way, it is a pity it has been largely forgotten.
