I mean, not only have they gone to the lengths of getting people to live on a landfill site for three weeks, but they've got some pretty classic people on there:

- a 19 year old evil genius dictator with genocidal theories on population growth
- an asexual sociology student who shrieks every time he sees a maggot or a dead snake
- a token nice-but-dim black guy who hadn't heard of a landfill site until now (seriously starting to get a bit concerned about black representation on these kinds of shows)
- the usual clowns - a model, a footballer, an army dude
- a fitness instructor/eco-warrior who spends a whole day filling a skip with plastic bottles to be taken away for recycling but is told that this is impossible.
- and my favourite - this absolute prat of a woman who calls herself an artist, and who rather than helping any of the others in building a shelter or a toilet, decides immediately that her role in the group would be to design a huge art installation out of the rubbish and that this will take the ENTIRE 18 day period. Any dissent to this idea fromt he rest of the group is met with a very stroppy hissy fit.

Channel 4 in the UK and Ireland.

I forgot it had started, but I assume it's going to be repeated ad nauseum.
