This looks like an interesting watch, EDEN channel4 9pm tonight ...I like anything like this. A group of people put into a remote part of UK and try to build a new life from scratch.

I hadn't heard of this
Just reading about it sounds very interesting
I will be watching this tonight
Just hope it doesn't turn into the usual reality TV drivel we are spoon fed these days

Or will things inevitably go a bit Lord of the Flies?

Be all in the editing whether or not it portrays people in a decent light or it turns into an 'on the fly' soap opera, highlighting the more underhand (or perceived underhand) antics or a more balanced view given relatively short air time compared to the projected run of the project.

Same formula, in my opinion. 'Groups of people' living together-how do they get on- or not? xx

Not watched this episode of Eden, either btw

I watched this , abit slow moving but the first ones usually are till you get to know the characters. You're right Rude it's as what you say throw a bunch of people together and see how they get on. I like watching stuff like this, still watching Big Brother btw but record it so get it over quick. Put a little bet on Hughie to win a few weeks ago , not that I like him but think he will win, hope he does get my money back hehe...

It turned out it was, ah well
Maybe give it another go 6 months down the line when everything has settled
