Tv casting call for any one interested .

We are looking for fit and able men of all ages (18+) each with their unique skillset, to be cast away on a tropical island to see how they fare.


To apply, please email: island@shine.tv for an application form.

Closing date for applications: Sunday 27th October 2013 at midnight
For any queries regarding the application, please call us on: 0207 483 6690

My wife sent me this earlier. The cynic in me makes me think they would want some drama and confrontation between participants to make it exciting. I hope I'm wrong and it's a good programme. I look forward to seeing some BCUKers on there.

Hairy bushcrafters naked on an island, I doubt I'll be watching

That was my thoughts exactly. They will also likely be choosing people with different levels of skills as well. I cant see them just choosing only hardcore survivalists or seasoned bushcrafters.

It is on Channel 4 so I hope it is an improvement on that gutter TV, the sex box thing or big brother!
I can't help thinking it will be rubbish though. They always want a calamity or bust-up to garner more viewers.
Love to see it made on an Alaskan or Canadian island rather than a boring tropical island too, with pests and real fury danger. :yikes:
Good luck to any BCUKers that apply though, a TV career could await, vis-a-vis Ben Fogle

Was tempted but I pretty much have zero survival/hunting skills so would end up looking like a prat on TV. Would be good for the show but not me

Tropical island? A tad different to carcrafting in the UK lol. Perhaps more wild food though than most parts of the UK.

 

[BearInTheWoods]

I would suspect that 'fit and able' translates into 'handsome, telegenic chaps'. I won't apply as it would make the others look like Gollum by comparison, which would hardly be fair.

Just passed this on to a mate of mine, hes been looking for something like this for ages. Cheers Woody.

The email address seems to indicate Shine TV, which Google informs me is a Christian channel. I would imagine that would indicate where the direction of the programme lies.

Definitely not Christian if its fact based and humerous lol

I think Shine is associated with Princess Productions, the ones that posted a programme idea on the Army Rumour Service that squaddies in Patrol Bases in Afghanistan might like to have their wives/girlfriends and newborns flown out to them as a 'special surprise'. Someone sent me a link to the thread and it was... remarkable in many ways.
