Looking for recordings
One of the questions that gets most asked on this website is for recordings / videos / dvd’s of the series. Having talked to a few of the castaways it seems that the BBC will be unlikley to release these anytime soon. Though if anyone from the BBC or Lion are reading this maybe they could sort something out (pretty please!)
So the only hope is to use a bit of good old “crowd sourcing” and ask people to get in touch if they have recordings of the show. Then you can swap your old recordings, and maybe we can put it altogether in one DVD or something.

I have the first 4 episodes on my PC. I am more than happy to share these but obviously I can’t go into mass production! If I get too many requests perhaps I will ask for 2 blank DVDs and a stamped addressed envelope? Please contact me if interested. wayne_mulley@hotmail.com

If you would offer this series on DVD, everyone I know would buy it. It was the most interesting and most authentic effort, as a human experiment, I’ve ever seen attempted for television and I found the dynamics and the results surprising and interesting. I’d love to own a copy.

I have tried emailing liontv about this but thus far have had no response. I too have the first 4 eps and looking for the rest, I think the only chance is for them to re-air the 18 episodes of it (according to LionTV). I have seen the ‘Return to Castaway’ and have it too. have searched the internet and still nothing, if anyone has old recordings on VHS please contact me at msgbox2007@hotmail.co.uk. you can find this stuff on http://www.thebox.bz where you can download and convert to DVD if needed.
