SteveC NordRunner Jan 2021 10:00am, 21 Jan 2021 413 posts	0 SteveC NordRunner 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.

Albert O Balsam Jan 2021 1:15pm, 26 Jan 2021 736 posts	0 Albert O Balsam 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
