This program me contains
strong language, scenes of nudity

and scenes that some viewers
may find upsetting.

Right, let's go down to the water's
edge, cos I need a poop.

I like the views...

...the birds flying,
they're beautiful,

they're just everywhere. Yeah.

Just wiped my butt with some rocks.

Just want to make sure that
I'm all clean,

so I'm gonna jump in the river,
have a quick wash-off.

This is nuts.

Two days ago...

I must be crazy.

...11 ordinary people...

Sneak attack.

...were each left in
the Canadian wilderness,

competing to survive the longest...

Oh, my God. ..totally alone.

There's a bear.

Argh! Nailed myself.

Mike was forced to leave.

I'm absolutely devastated.

There is something right outside
my shelter.

Bears... Oh, my God!

...came out at night.

Oh, my God!

Swamp roots.

And finding food...

HE RETCHES

...didn't come easily.

Tastes like toilet cleaner.

For as long as they can last...

I am starving.

..they'll film their own
struggle to survive.

He-ya! He-ya! He-ya!

Battling the elements...

Getting really cold.

...and the predators.

SHOUTS: Hey! Go away!

Who has what it takes...

When it counts! Ooh!

...to survive the longest?

I'm alone!

Good morning.

It's about 6.30 now,

just woken up and there's this

cold wind coming down the hill

straight through my shelter.

I've probably had about
five, six hours' sleep.

It's not bad considering
I'm sleeping all alone

under a little tarp in north-west
Canada where there are

a number of predators.

Yummy, yummy spruce tea.

Wonder how long I'll be
saying that for.

After two days...

Time for some pot cleaning.

...the ten who remain
are still adapting

to their threatening
new surroundings.

That's not bear. That's wolf.

It is the size of my hand.

SHE SIGHS

Do not like it one bit.

I'm not the only one here.

Last night, 19-year-old Kian
had a close encounter.

I had a terrible night,

probably about 4am, 5am,
heard this big grunting

and these big branches cracking,

so I assume it was a bear.

HE SIGHS

That was scary.

It's made me paranoid and anxious.

The isolation, the fear,

there's no-one to talk to.

I just miss my family.

Mum and Dad, when they
were sending me off they said,

"Don't die. Don't get
eaten by a bear.”

I'm going to go grab some water
and then put a fire on.

My dad, he does love the outdoors,
bush craft and survival.

I started with him and I just
thought I wanted to be an explorer,

I wanted to be an adventurer.

The bloody bush is so thick.

It just makes moving
around the place

so much more difficult
than it has to be.

Started learning more about it,

putting the skills into practice,
and here we are now.

Oh! Oh, for fuck's sake!

Oh, this is... I don't know
what is wrong with me.

It isn't anything like
what I imagined.

I'm really, really unhappy...here.

Oh, Jesus Christ!

But if I were to tap out right now,

for the rest of my life,
I'd be like,

"Oh, my God, how did I not make
the most of that opportunity?”

I really don't know what to do.

I feel like I'm being...pathetic.

Fucking pathetic!

The bunchberry bonanza.

Staying in the competition
long-term...

Turn out your pockets.

...will be a mental
and physical challenge.

Problem is, they've probably got
a calorie for every ten.

I can already feel
the fatigue coming in.

The brain needs all this sugar,

and so my body's
having to use my fat,

but that process of breaking down

fats into sugars for the brain
makes you really tired.

Bulging pocket.

Foraging will only be
a short-term fix.

All safely in my mouth.

I've lost track of
how many I've eaten,

but it might be a couple
of hundred berries.

Some rosehips.

These seeds you've got to get
rid of because they are itchy.

Like, as kids, you would rub
them on someone as a joke.

I don't think it's so funny when
it's coming out your arsehole.

So what you get is
a pathetic amount.

But it's food.

Oh, I feel hunger really
kind of getting at me.

I feel quite weak.

Alan's strategy

relies on his advanced
knowledge of plants.

So, this is all bunchberry here,

but none of it's got any fruit on.

Picking it would be fruitless.

Did you see what I did there?

Picking it would be fruitless.

And the hair, and the hair!

I've got it all!

Oh, yeah, the jokes AND the hair.

I can forage, I can
forage really well,

but whether I can produce enough
calories from foraging depends

a lot on what nature gives you.

I have no idea what this is.

If this were in England,
I'd have every idea what this is.

I have a beautiful wife
and two beautiful children.

Killian, my boy,
and Lily, who is five.

She was so ill when she was born.

During that time, I lost my job,
got into loads of debt.

Yeah, it was... It was tense.

Want to get those black ones.

Prickly. Ah!

For me, this is an
opportunity to change.

So, I need the money and
I will carry on until I win.

Foraging is not easy here.

Oh, wow!

Big bear shit.

It's steamy.

Jesus.

Fuck's sake.

I'm going to take my bow out again.

Everyone received training
to hunt humanely,

but only builder Louie decided
to bring in a bow and arrow.

I'll feel so much better once
I've caught something.

That would just prove

I can actually fend for
myself from the land.

Getting accustomed to hunting

as quick as possible,
that's my tactic.

Come on, Mr Porcupine,
where are you?

If I fail, I go home
after three or four days.

I'm terrified that this is what
will take me out of the challenge.

Hunting will burn precious calories,

but regular kills could
secure long-term survival

and the £100,000 prize.

I'd love to win, but if I won that
much money, I just wouldn't work for

the year and I'd probably just
do this, but with food.

They look like rabbit holes to me.

There's loads of them.

I heard a squeak.

It's a squirrel.

There he is.

BOW SHOOTS

Oh, fuck! I got him!

There's my arrow. Got blood on it.

I've just shot a squirrel,
but he's still up in that tree.

Cut the tree down.

No.

Oh, where's he gone?

Fuck's sake!

Gutted.

I fucking shot him.

I had a bear encounter last night,

that was fucking scary.

My worries are just
completely spiralling.

I don't think I have it in me.

I can't believe I'm saying this.

Jesus Christ!

I think I'm going to tap out.

Damn it!

That's it, I just sent the message.

I sent the message and
said I want to tap out.

That's it, there's
no going back now.

I really didn't enjoy
yesterday at all.

I'm not nearly mentally
skilled enough

to take on this challenge right now.

Here they are, coming for me.

Hi, guys!

Hello.

I was so sure I was
going to be fine.

I know now that I don't
have it in me to win.

I will never forget this experience,
it will shape me for forever.

Oh, wow!

I feel hungry, very hungry.

For the nine who remain
in the competition...

My little leaf I'm about to eat.

Delicious.

...finding food will become

an increasingly urgent priority
in order to last longest

and win the £100,000.

Bit like rocket and watercress,

but stronger and more like...grass.

It would be nice with fish.

Let's see if I can catch my
very first fish in Canada.

One potential source of food,
the Mackenzie River.

Yep, that wasn't great.

I've lost my bait.

SHE SIGHS

In addition to line fishing...

Come on!

...nine chose to bring in a gillnet

as one of their survival items.

Suspended in the water, it traps
fish as they try to swim through.

Thread the gillnet onto the stick,

tie some rocks along the bottom,

and hopefully the fish get caught.

Woohoo! Gillnet, baby!

So, I'm taking out the core strands.

They will make up
the base of my net.

I could take a gillnet in,
but I've decided not to.

As someone who sews for a living,

to make something will
put me in a good mindset

to keep me going a bit longer.

It's quite therapeutic,

so I'm going to take my time
with this, stay positive.

Barnaby would love this.

I discovered I was pregnant in
my final year of university.

It was a surprise.

Then having him a few months after
graduating was just amazing.

But you're supposed to be, you know,

overjoyed and filled with love,

but, um, I was unexpectedly hit
with postpartum depression,

which completely swiped who I was.

I didn't recognise myself, um...

Sorry.

I didn't leave the house
for almost a whole year.

I needed a change,
so I applied to do

a survival course
and I fell in love with it.

OK, four more to go and
then my net will be done.

I was just a whole new person,
you know, I was me again.

Got my weights for my gillnet,
let's get those on.

OK.

Oh, I just had the most
overwhelming urge

for an ice cream Mars Bar.

When I get home,

I'm going to eat some
nasty, nasty junk.

Ooh, yeah! Mm!

No time like the present.

While some get on with
launching their nets...

Ah, OK.

Let's see how successful
it's going to be.

Going to go and scout for
my permanent shelter site.

...others decide to
prioritise camp building.

I should just do it all now
while I've got the energy.

SHE SIGHS

I need to cut the end off that one.
Annoying.

I had a really amazing childhood.

We were always outside.

We used to build, like, worm houses
and, like, ant houses,

stuff like that.

When I moved to London,

I sort of lost that connection
a little bit with nature.

Ooh, head rush.

And it's what I'm
trying to get back now.

I haven't really eaten
since I've been here.

Should I just be fishing is
the question.

I always doubt myself

and I have a devil on
my shoulder that goes,

"You're rubbish, you're not
going to be able to do this."

I don't know if I've
made a huge mistake.

I'm in competition with
that side of my brain

that doesn't think that I can do it.

The more I fuck around,

the more calories
I'm slowly burning.

Suddenly got really tired. Erm...

Probably cos I haven't eaten.

SHE SIGHS

Yeah.

I've got ants.

Tastes, like, lemony.

If I could find, like,
a thousand of them, that'd be good.

I'm going to just go
grab some more water.

Oh, my God, no fucking way!

My God!

As I got my water...

So, I killed him.

I actually shot his leg off.

Now I feel really bad.

Oh, buddy!

Oh, man.

First kill. Get in.

I'm just so, so glad I
brought that bow.

Like, now I've done it once I know
I can just do it again.

And if I can hit a squirrel, I can
hit a duck, a goose, a beaver.

Eating fried chicken tonight, ah.

Fresh, off the bone meat.

Fuck it.

Oh, my God.

I can't describe how good I feel,
how good this tastes.

If I could have this feeling
every day,

I'd die the happiest man
in the world.

While Louie is the first to hunt
successfully...

HE BURPS

Oh.

What? The line snapped.

...others are experiencing
mixed fortunes.

I don't know, I just thought that
effort would equal results.

And so far, effort is equalling not
very much results.

Just check the gillnet.

Round here, of course it is.

STOMACH RUMBLES

Oh, my gosh, my stomach is
going complete dubstep.

Oh, I bet everyone's got so
much fish and so much food,

and I'm like, "No, you don't
know that."

Might be true, it might not,
don't even go there.

You can't even think like that.

There's so many wolf tracks on
the beach so I have

a spear that I've just made,
and hardened in the fire.

It makes me feel better.

WHISPERS: Who knows what's
going to happen.

Let's go to bed.

I'm going to go and do a
wee and wash my hands.

And turn in. Night-night.

At night when I hear something
and I don't know what it is,

I don't know how close it is,
I don't like that.

I think coming from London
you forget that...

...things get completely dark.

The front of my tarp is really open,

and that makes me feel
a little bit on edge.

If there's an incentive to
want to make

a permanent shelter, it's that.

Just to feel a little bit
more secure.

LEAVES RUSTLE

WHISPERS: Thought I heard
something.

TWIGS SNAP

Think it's gonna... I think it's
gonna go around me.

TWIGS SNAP

My God, something is so close.

My adrenaline's going crazy.

My heart's beating so hard.

Good morning.

I totally forgot where I was when
I woke up.

I just thought I was back at home.

I just need to pee,
but it's too cold.

Still not sleeping great.

Last night just before I fell asleep
there was this noise.

It was just dark so I wasn't going
to go and investigate,

not that brave yet.

SHE YAWNS

Sheesh.

I didn't sleep that well
last night again.

And I kept worrying that my bed was
going to fall apart

that I'd built yesterday.

But it's actually... Seems to be OK.

This is burning calories
and making me hungry.

For travel company director Tom...

Timber!

...fishing is his main priority.

I grew up in Portsmouth.

And I used to fish off the pier
there into the Solent,

never thought it would come
in useful.

OK so I've whittled up my hobo reel,

put some line on there,
now we need a lure.

My childhood certainly had its
ups and its downs.

My parents separated when
I was five years old,

my mum was the most loving and
kind person but she also...she

had her own problems as well and
I had to find depths of patience.

All right, let's go fishing.

I went to quite an academic school
and I suffer with dyslexia,

I was also the fattest kid in
my school.

My teachers, they were like
"Oh, Tom Williams,

"well, the only way he'll go to
university is if he climbs through

"the bathroom window and
then he'll get stuck.”

Moving really nicely in the water.

I always had this... I think a
desire to prove myself and

to prove the doubters wrong.

Oh, dear. Bad cast and
a bunch of bastards.

That's not a good start. Shit.

Because this line is precious.

Fuck. Feel a no fish day coming on.

It's just starting to concern me.

Because if I don't get fish,
I don't last here very long.

So I've had a little lay in
this morning,

just because I didn't sleep
great last night.

There was a large mammal
that was approaching

and I just got really scared.

I can't stay under a tarpaulin,

this is not going to keep
me protected.

So everything hangs on me
having a shelter.

I'm spontaneous, impulsive,
I'm entrepreneurial.

I opened my beauty salon
when I was 24

and quite quickly it became
successful.

Used to go out at the weekend,
get drunk, drink champagne.

On the outside I was happy,
but on the inside I was so low,

and my mental health just plummeted,
so I just closed the salon.

How are people carpenters?

I feel like I'm winging it.

I didn't find a job.

I'd gone from get up every day
to nothing.

And it all just kind of
spiral led downhill.

I realised that I needed
to change my life.

I did a marathon.

Then I rowed around Great Britain,

then across the Atlantic,

and it was almost like this
lightning bolt.

When I'm off on an adventure,
pure happiness.

Oh, I'm not finding it easy at all.

Look, it's going to fall.

SHOUTS: Oh, fuck off!
Why can't I do it?

It's literally driving me
fucking crazy!

Ugh!

I surrender to the...the A-frame.

SOBS: Surrendered to the A-frame.

Why didn't I research this more...

...before I came out?

I do try and push myself

and that's why I do my challenges
and my adventures but...

...this has got to be the
toughest yet.

As beautiful as the
little green tarp is,

it's a bit embarrassing being a
builder and sleeping on the floor.

So today we build.

I think I'm just confident in
my skill set.

Timber!

I'm a builder. I can make shelters,
not a problem.

I want to make it beautiful,

like, something you'd be happy
to invite someone to.

Maybe a little banner that says
'Welcome to LouTopia'.

Feel like I haven't slept, it's the
only way to describe it.

My legs feel heavy.

Despite being the first to hunt
and kill successfully...

HE BURPS

I'm starving.

...his exertion has used up
a lot of energy.

HE GRUNTS

Yeah, feeling very, er, light...

Bit light-headed, weak.

It's looking solid.

Looking safe.

But...

Oh, shit.

Fuck off!

Oh, God.

Everything is harder.

I should have tied them
on as I went.

Schoolboy error.

This doesn't happen to me.

All I want to do is eat a burger.

Oh, with cheese and bacon.

What I've got is squirrel head,

just going to see if I can
just cook it up.

There's a bit of meat on the
squirrel's face, that's good.

There's its tongue.

Its eye.

I think the world would be a better
place if everyone had to go

so hungry they'd pick the
eyes off a squirrel

and eat them and call it dinner.

There's its lips.

Fucking hell that didn't
taste nice.

There's its jaw,

it's completely gone.

Who's ready for dessert?

I've eaten every piece of muscle
off that face plus his eyeballs.

I mean, I wouldn't say satisfied
but it's filled a void.

I need water, I need to drink.

SHE GASPS

What's that smell?

Oh, shit.

Oh, my God.

This might be a bear's place.

I don't want to be in a bear lair.

ANIMAL GROWLS, TWIGS SNAP

Fuck. I have no idea what that was.

What's that noise?

Sounded like it was right outside.

Yeah, there might be a few
more noises at night.

The longer you're left on your own
the more you think I suppose.

That is crazy.

Oh, this feels like hard work.

Could do with a masseuse.

Alexa, find me a masseuse.

Alexa?

Never, ever there when you
need her, that woman.

One of my favourite sayings
is 'it will pass'

and I could probably use it
for this scenario.

I'm just struggling to find
any joy in any of this.

Jesus Christ.

Wouldn't be very good if a
wolf runs up on me now.

Bloody hell.

That is absolutely huge.

I think that must be a pike head.

Size of my head. Bigger!

Fish on.

Ah! Snapped the line.

That's two hooks lost on that. Fuck.

I've absolutely no energy,

so it's time to do
something spontaneous.

Woohoo!
SHE LAUGHS

My first wild swim.

I don't know why I didn't do
it before

but it's made me feel
so much better.

Everything is proving such
a challenge,

even the basics.

I don't really cry in my
every day life.

I don't want to be sad.

I wanted to come here and enjoy
it and do a good job.

And I'm not doing either.

Don't know what's wrong with me.

I just can't stop crying.

Ahh. Lovely.

I feel like a little
woodland creature...

...having my morning drink.

It's a long process to make water
because I have to start the fire,

go to the river, collect the
water, bring it back,

and then I have to wait
for it to boil.

And then the worst thing is
I'm sat here, like, really thirsty,

like, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.

And I have to wait for it
to cool down.

I'm going to appreciate
a tap so much.

You literally just turn a tap on
and the water comes out

and you can drink it.

I mean, that is phenomenal,
isn't it?

Ahh. What we got there?

Jesus that's a bear.

Look at that bad boy.

Quite far away at the moment.
Next time, one might not be.

I'm feeling sad every day.

And I don't know if I need to
listen to that as an instinct.

And given that it's
a choice that I'm here,

it's also a choice that I can leave.

BEEPING

Hello? I've just had enough.

Um... Yes, I'm officially
tapping out.

Here they come. Wow, my
heart's beating fast.

Yeah!

SHE LAUGHS

Wow, I am so happy.

Here they come to pick me up.

Hello.

I think I'm proud of myself.

I'm not proud of the way that
I've handled my emotions

but that was a sign that
this wasn't right for me.

What a good life I lead,
I think that's what I learnt.

Every day I'm grateful for my
life, that I'll go back and

appreciate it even more.

OK, I've started making my bed.

Of the eight who remain, some are
building for the long haul.

Well, it holds my weight
so that's good.

It's just not comfy at all.

There's something comforting about
having a roof over your head.

Still not happy about
night-times here,

the noises, the movement.

You're running on adrenaline
the whole time.

It is time to check
the gillnets again.

Others are prioritising
the search for food.

Yeah, absolutely nothing in it.

Failure could threaten their place
in the competition.

The fish has got off,
the bait's been taken.

Well, that's pretty disappointing.

I just haven't got that skill set
to acquire calories,

and the question is do you keep
going or am I just wasting time

and energy doing the same
thing again and again?

Wow. That is beautiful.

Look at all that food.

It's so tempting to go chasing birds
with bows but...

Chasing birds.

HE LAUGHS

That was one thing I was always
good at.

Ah.

If there's anyone I want now,
though, it's Grace.

I've found my best friend, and,
you know, I'm excited to spend

the rest of my life with her, I'm
excited for every adventure

we're going to have together.

When you just don't have that
person to hug,

I think that's what I'm
going to miss most.

I'm hoping this is just, like, a
stage of getting used to it,

because, like, you're being
abandoned alone...

...and there's no contact, you're
kind of going through heartbreak,

that's the only way I
can describe it,

it kind of feels like when someone
breaks up with you.

It's just weird trying to adapt.

Got to lay snares,
I've got to find food.

Right, let me head out this way.

Trapping is something I've done
a little bit of before,

I'm not overly confident.

I'm going to be learning that
a lot on the job.

Yeah, so they should hold together
now when they're in the ground.

So it needs to be...

For fuck's sake.

This is my life, honestly. Ugh.

Oh, fuck off.

The snare randomly fired

and I am back to square
frigging one.

Alan is hoping to catch a
squirrel by laying traps

far away from the noise of his camp.

So I've put little nooses on these,

and when they run through them,
they hang themselves,

or as we like to say, prepare
themselves for my dinner.

LAUGHS EVILLY

All right, then. Back to camp.

My autistic traits include a very
poor short-term memory,

I have a terrible sense
of direction.

I plan really meticulously at home

for any journey that I don't
know really well.

Try and find my way back again.

I'm definitely lost.

There might even be bears around.

This is just endless trees really,
isn't it?

What was that?

I'm obviously fighting off some
anxiety. Jesus.

There's the sun. The sun was
setting just left of me

of an evening.

Which meant I was just...

...south...

Just north of...

...west.

I am lost.

Pretty hopelessly, seriously lost.

Yeah, I'm pretty thirsty.

I don't have any water.

I don't have any way to get out.

For fuck's sake, Alan.
