Back to Reality

Channel 5's "best of" reality shows, if you will. 12 reality stars from the previous years live in a big house (which was inside a giant film set, so the producers could create any effect they wanted) for three weeks whilst getting voted on by the public. The two least popular housemates were put to a house vote to see who should leave.

To increase the bank, "reality challenges" were set based on the shows the housemates previously appeared on and other shows.

We can't remember what James Hewitt was famous for. Seriously, haven't the foggiest.

It was notable for two things: (a) extortionately expensive for Channel 5 - something like 10% of their entire annual entertainment budget, and (b) not being terribly good.
