It is perfect. Now, I don’t know if that’s because I happened upon a particularly golden series (pun intended for those in the know), or whether I reacted in this way because it was all so new to me. Maybe it’s just Australians being brilliant at reality TV. But this show has everything. There’s the immediate hook of having two teams of people who need to survive on a desert island near Fiji for about a month, if they last that long. They only get some rice to eat and have to forage the rest, and they have to make their own shelters. They are not nice conditions to live in. They are tired, they are hungry, they are cold. Humour fades fast. It’s fascinating.
