No - not the Ben Fogle one.
That was on Taransay wasn't it?
This was I think more recent than that.
Set on the Scottish Lochs.
Was that the one where the production company abandoned the project but didn’t tell the participants?

Great find, but I am as sceptical about 70's reality TV as I am about current stuff. Who the hell sets out on 2 weeks bush survival wearing white bell-bottoms?! - and how were his knees still clean after over a week of building shelters, collecting firewood and foraging? I don't know about you lot, but my knees are grubby within 10 minutes of setting up camp

Optimistic Hippies Broch.
I don't know if you were around at the time but people tended to just wear their everyday clothes. Outdoorsy uniforms were really reserved for the pros. And there wasn't any internet or TV personalities informing folk what clothes they should wear.
I probably camped out in beige corduroy flares a few times in the late 70s.
The secret was not to care.

Nationwide did a good one in the late 70s. The name of the intrepid presenter will come back to me, but he was given some training and dumped on a (Scottish?) island with instructions to make a video report every so often. He got pretty miserable.
Maybe Bob Langley?
