Trigger Warning: This Episode deals with issues of homophobia, racism and domestic violence. If this may be in anyway upsetting to you, please skip and we will see you down the road.

Things are coming to a head on the island with everybody annoyed at everyone else for reasons both real and imagined. We get dog death, kitchen yelling and Peter getting a telling off.

There's Dodgy bands, dirty baths and MR PIPES!

Ahoy there!

Yes we are still doing Castaway 2000 and yes, it is getting better. While Ray may have left the island in disgrace, his tarnished legacy lives in in the burning of a wicker man that causes concern. There is also exciting horse news, a trip to the mainland and a lot of door slamming.

Also Uncle Planty reads us a horrific story about pipes, welks and sheep. So just be aware.

It is with a sad heart and a damaged liver we say goodbye to the first castaway to leave the island of their own volition.

But do not be too downhearted dear listener because the rest of them now have pigs, paint and a mirror called Jolene. We get more Tales from Grandpa Planty, Lofty facts are still very water based and there's a lovely poem to see us out.

Patience is running thin on the island, with Ray abandoning his meatballs, the school being to moist for humans and Ben lying about his beard growing abilities. Yes we are back with episode 7 of Castaway 2000, the only show that has weather as a featured guest. We also get introduced to Storytime with Planty

Castaway 2000 continues with the aftermath of Rays drunken outburst, Peter gets on everyone's nerves with aggressive minute keeping and animals arrive on the island. Cows, sheep and a pony to be exact and lets see how long they last. The housing pods are nearly finished, the doctors are inbound and Ron is threatening children with a fun time.

Its getting really good.

We're still on our Castaway 2000 jaunt and now near enough everyone is on the island, ready to go. Except the Doctors family, Ron and some others who are stuck in a haunted Toby Carvery for some reason.

Ray continues to slide into drunken madness, we get the first of the Video Diaries and tensions are running high over minor squabbles. The islanders also celebrate Burns Night and tempers spill over into an almost ruck between.... well you'll have to listen. (its Ray)

Thank you for joining us once again as we struggle on through Castaway 2000 with Episode 4 where both groups of chosen get together for the first time and immediately fall out over contracts and beard assignment.

But they're all on the island now. Right? Right?!

We plod ever onwards with our misguided attempt at doing something new with episode 3 of Castaway. We are introduced to "The Other Group" of miscreants and ne'er do wells who are competing for a space on the Scottish island of Taransay with the rest of them.

You'll get Lofty wisdom (and Lofty Facts!), the worst assault course ever, mans conquest of fire and we find out the cracks are already beginning to show on the island.

Things are heating up this week as our intrepid would-be wilderness survivors must learn to operate tarpaulin, kill a chicken and fight each other (not to the death sadly)

King Lofty spins his unique wisdom while contemplating becoming a king of the frontier and badger causes mild chaos. We also find out who has been successful in their application, who has not and what they would bring to the island as a "luxury item" .

All the episode we will be covering are available here

so get them watched and tell us who you think is going in the wicker man first!

This week and over the coming weeks we are going to take you through the rightfully forgotten BBC reality survival show Castaway 2000 for no other reason then we really love it apparently.

That's right, for the next few weeks/months/until we get tired and forget you're going to hear all about a show that is a quarter of a century old. But don't let that put you off, this is some the absolute best television even made in the history of humanity.

30 odd people dumped on a remote Scottish island trying to build a community in a blatant afront to all the gods.

Episode 1 deals with a whole bunch of people trying out to be selected including a very angry Tom Baker-a-like, the oldest man in the world and some posh families.

Its a wild ride, so please join us.
