Surely a reality show is something where an activity that people would do in real life in a naturalistic setting is organized into a structured format for a game or contest, and the participants live in it for a while? If so, it would have to be some kind of farming or smithing show for me. |

I quite fancied the show (was it Castaway?) - the one that launched Ben Fogle's career. The idea of it anyway - not sure the reality would suit.. |

I'm not sure how well known this is, Mushroom, but the first one of this kind to make it to TV was Expedition Robinson on Swedish TV in the mid 90s. I used to follow it avidly  en.m.wikipedia.org |

A reality show but not a game, does anyone remember a show from the (?) end of the 1970s about a group of people living for a year as if in the stone age? Kind of like Fogle's programme but with fewer clothes. |

I seem to recall this being done more recently as well- (late '90s perhaps ?) My only real memory of it was that at one point the HSE came onto the site due to the living conditions. I found the anniversary programme about Castaway quite enlightening - esp how the cast saw that Ben was being 'bigged up' by the film crew so that a star would emerge |
