Alone, Channel 4, review: Ludicrous and dangerous – reality TV has gone too far this time
The degree of punishment and terror inflicted on the participants sometimes felt excessive
As was clear from the title, the gimmick was that they were all fending for themselves. The 11 participants – 10 once poor Mike was flown off to have his leg tended to – were dropped off along a stretch of the vast Mackenzie River, which snaked through the forbidding boreal forest that dominates Canada’s vast and empty Northwest Territories.
Their discomfort appeared as genuine as Mike’s distress when he accidentally hacked his shin. Naomi, a fashion designer, who usually got lost “walking around Tesco”, freaked out when a local resident started sniffing outside her tarpaulin tent. “Last night was the scariest of my life,” she said. “I don’t think I’ve ever been so close to a bear.”
Were they being driven too far? Had that bear attacked Naomi, how would the producers have intervened? Similarly, NHS project manager Eva’s attempts to start a fire to boil the muddy river water were unsuccessful, and she ended up not drinking for 24 hours. Presuming what we saw was real,Naomi, the fashion designer didn’t leave the campers entirely to their own devices as they had previously completed a nine-day survival training course.
