Casting for a Naked Survival Show
- Thread starter Tony
- Start date
My first thought is hypothermia on the first night, followed by a nice crop of ticks after trying to sleep on a bracken bed, and how are you going to filter and boil water?
Hasn't this already been done before anyway ? I'm sure I've seen a you tube of something like this somewhere.
Is it to be in the UK? Heading for a serious disaster if it is.
TV must be desperate for new ideas!

Don't worry, they won't be cold for long....a middle aged dog walker will report them to the police & they'll be arrested for indecent exposure.
These shows are nothing like they portray anyway. It's pure entertainment and titillation. Mostly lonely old men trying to get a glimpse of a naked woman. No real interest in the concept.
Total joke the whole thing.
I did a YT search and it's based on the American series naked and afraid which was a complete con. They were within hearing distance of nightclubs , football matches and cars.
Hardly what they portrayed in the show.
Wonder if this is one of bear grills brilliant ideas? He must need some money by now, as he hasn't been on TV for a while. I bet he will be a "consultant"
Give me Ray anyday.!

I don't know about the indecent part but exposure for sure. These latitudes do not support naked humans for long.
That at least had some degree of reality in that the people were set on tropical areas where temps are in proper range.
Funny, I was thinking it was just the sort of thing you would be up for. I wasn't going to suggest it to you, but since you piped up on your own...
You run, you are proud of your figure and your sense of humor and willingness to stand out from the crowd would be boons.
Skinny dipping with friends when a lot younger is a fair bit different from this kind of thing.
Thank every blessed thing out there that there were neither spy cams nor mobile phones back then.
Thinking on it, we'd just not have done it if there were. It's not prudish, we weren't and aren't, it's just we'd rather be quietly private. No one else's business kind of thing. Peeping Toms and Tomasinas were not well thought of.
I asked one of my friends from back then what she thought of this, and we're in agreement and we both think it's exploitational.
It's a funny old world these days, and the craving to be some kind of media influencer seems to be paramount in some folks.
Maybe they'd think this kind of thing and it's fame would be worth it all ?
There must be some applicants though ?
On that note however; I know I won't watch the programme, but wonder how many others might ?

I have seen ( some, I skimmed through ) of the episode from the pilot filmed last year . It is two couples ( one male , one female in each team ) attempting to race 50KM through what appears to be the Yorkshire Dales . They start off naked but seem to start applying make shift clothing of varying degrees as they go .... Clips show them hitch hiking wearing a bin bag bikini and in a hotel and on a train at one point dressed in a variety of farmyard plastics and possible a sheep fleece .....
Programme might be better if it was more like "race across the world ".
I'm not sure I can see a need for the nakedness and for that reason I'm out .....

For some people's definition (show makers).
Setup for a high chance of failure to make TV.
sell their souls tooSell your dignity with no guarantee of a payout.
I won't be watching...I don't have a TV.
