FunTranscript
00:00In the 21st century, life in Britain has been transformed by technology.
00:09And the generation gap has never been greater.
00:13Has a reliance on technology stripped young people of vital practical skills?
00:20And has the older generation been cushioned from the harsh reality and insecurity of today?
00:27I want to know which generation will survive the best when they're stripped to the conveniences
00:33of modern life.
00:39A marooning 16 ordinary people on a remote cluster of islands in the Pacific.
00:46On one, a young group aged between 18 and 30.
00:50It's happening!
00:51And on a nearby island, a group of much older castaways.
00:55It's lethal guys.
00:56They'll be left alone for five weeks with just the clothes on their back and a few basic tools.
01:01You've got to get it.
01:02You've got to get it.
01:03Ah!
01:04Ah!
01:05Ah!
01:06Medic!
01:07Ah!
01:08What am I doing here?
01:09Pushed to the limits of human endurance, as hurricane season rages around them.
01:13Still digging like a pig in shit.
01:15Will the older generation's experience give them a better chance of survival?
01:21Ah!
01:22Bastard!
01:24Or will the energy of youth trump the wisdom of age?
01:30You don't do anything your f***ing self!
01:32You're two f***ing bollocks!
01:34You're a proper tosser!
01:36Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:39Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!
01:42Man of nature kicking our arse, boy.
01:44We're not staying here another 24 hours.
01:47Requesting an exit from the island en masse.
01:51For God's sake, man, this is bloody torture.
01:53This is...
02:04I'm about to abandon two groups, one younger and one older,
02:10on a pair of remote Pacific islands.
02:14With almost five decades between the youngest and oldest members,
02:18I want to see who can survive best.
02:21I'm abandoning the older group first.
02:24I'm 66. I am a successful businessman.
02:27I describe my lifestyle really as a privileged lifestyle.
02:32The biggest misconception of people my age is that we've had our time
02:37and it's time for the youngsters.
02:39I think 50's the new 30.
02:42Neither group has any idea the other will be there,
02:46and I'm marooning them on two separate islands.
02:50OK, we're getting close.
02:52Who am I when I'm taken out of my comfort zone,
02:56when I haven't got children to look after?
02:58What is left of Jackie Redgard?
03:02With all these rocks, this is as close as I'm going to get you.
03:05Right, this is it. This is it, guys.
03:07The work looks pretty impenetrable.
03:10Just be mindful, you've got incredibly powerful currents around here.
03:15Oh, my gosh!
03:17We've got to automate this place. Look after each other.
03:20OK, go, go, go.
03:22Careful stepping off the boat. Bad time to get injured.
03:25Shit.
03:27The older group have to swim ashore with everything they need
03:30for the next five weeks.
03:32Some basic tools, fishing equipment,
03:35and one day's supply of drinking water.
03:38Get ashore. Get ashore.
03:40Almost there.
03:42They've really got to lead with their brain.
03:46Good survivors have to learn to adapt fast.
03:51Careful of those rocks, guys.
03:53That's really steep.
03:55He's lethal, guys. He's totally fricking lethal.
03:59It's down to you guys now.
04:01Show us what you're made of.
04:03Bye!
04:11We'll get together now. We'll see.
04:13Can we say hello?
04:15For the next five weeks,
04:17this group of strangers will have to fend for themselves.
04:21I'm Frank, and I come from Oldham, and I'm 66 years old.
04:25I'm Karen from Devon.
04:27I'm Jackie, and I'm from Oxfordshire.
04:29May God protect us, be with us.
04:31And for what we are about to not receive,
04:34make us truly, truly thankful. Amen.
04:38They'll be filming everything themselves,
04:41with the help of two trained and experienced camera people
04:44going under exactly the same conditions.
04:46What's our plan of attack?
04:48We need to be moving before the tide comes up, don't we?
04:50Yeah, we need to get off.
04:53I've stranded the older group
04:55on the south coast of a small Pacific island.
04:58Now I'm going to drop the younger group
05:00on a neighbouring island.
05:02Between them lies a hazardous tidal channel.
05:09The younger group are aged between 18 and 30 years old.
05:14A lot of older people look down on you because you're young.
05:17All you do is go out and drink.
05:19You don't do anything else, and I'm like...
05:21I work my arse off at university.
05:25I am young. I've just finished my A-levels.
05:29I want to prove that I can push myself
05:31to extremes physically, mentally.
05:34I'm still a kid at heart.
05:36I'll paint a pattern I ain't never going to go off.
05:38Where should I be by the age of 30?
05:40I don't think it should be anywhere.
05:43That's just how I am.
05:46OK, it's the biggest island we've ever done this on.
05:49But also, my opinion, it's actually the hardest.
05:53This is huge!
05:56I'm taking them right into the heart
05:58of one of nature's most hostile environments.
06:01OK, all of this stuff is mangrove.
06:04Mangroves means crocs.
06:06Incredibly powerful bite, grab hold of you.
06:09They'll either rip a limb off or they'll drag you under.
06:12Oh, my God.
06:15OK, this is it.
06:17How are we going to get through that?
06:19D-Day, it's time to go.
06:21What was that in there?
06:23R.I.P., everyone!
06:25OK, here we go.
06:27It's happening!
06:32OK, everyone positive?
06:34I guarantee you, not all of you will be here at the end.
06:37Prove me wrong. Go for it.
06:40Bye!
06:42Shit!
06:45I've split the groups to see what happens
06:47when two different generations
06:49are pushed to their absolute limits.
06:52Come on, let's go.
06:54Who's going to do better, the old or the young?
06:57Time will tell.
06:59Oh, my God.
07:01I've ensured the islands have enough wildlife and vegetation
07:04to keep the islanders alive throughout.
07:07But only if they have the ingenuity
07:09to find it, catch it and kill it.
07:12Who are you?
07:14I'm Jordan, everyone. I'm 23.
07:16And I'm a graduate looking for full-time employment.
07:20I'm Cags. I'm 24.
07:22My actual full name's Catherine,
07:24but that's only when I'm in trouble.
07:26I'm Freddie. I'm from Scotland.
07:28How old are you? 18.
07:30You're going to become a real man.
07:32I'm Ben. I'm from south-east London.
07:34I'm 29.
07:36Right, guys.
07:38Just have a look up there a second.
07:40No fucking hell.
07:43The younger group's island
07:45is three square kilometres of dense jungle,
07:48which is home to a host of potentially lethal animals.
07:52I do not want to be camping here.
07:54With only a few hours of daylight left,
07:57they must find somewhere safe to sleep and fast.
08:00Let's make a plan, right?
08:02Who thinks we should try and find some sort of beach?
08:05Yeah. Yeah?
08:08If you want to, go for it.
08:10You're loud and you've got a sense of direction,
08:12so let's follow you.
08:14Let's go. Come on.
08:18That is a creamer.
08:20I'm quite a sociable person.
08:22I'm out and about. I'm always out with my mates.
08:24I enjoy life.
08:26Oh, my God! Yes, Ben!
08:28I'm always in a pub.
08:30I am Alpha.
08:32The man.
08:34Numero uno.
08:38The other jerry can, who's got it?
08:40You left it there, haven't you?
08:42Oh, my God!
08:44Don't forget the most important thing.
08:46Fucking inbreds.
09:01On the neighbouring island,
09:03the older group have sorted out their kit,
09:05and 66-year-old Frank
09:07is eager to get everyone moving.
09:09We need to get his arse into gear
09:11or else we'll be stranded by the tide.
09:13We're going this way. We're left.
09:15Hang on, Frank.
09:17Yeah, let's coordinate this as a team.
09:19I think we need to be moving on a bit, don't we?
09:25I am an enthusiastic industrialist
09:27with bags of energy.
09:29What drives me
09:31is the hunger for success,
09:34but there are always things that's difficult.
09:36I don't know the word quitting.
09:38It's just not in my vocabulary at all.
09:42I think we need to move kit in a minute.
09:44Come on, let's go, let's go!
09:46With the tide rising,
09:48the older group must move off the rocks
09:50and find somewhere safe to camp.
09:52Where's Frank?
09:54I thought he was with you!
09:56But the oldest member of their group
09:58has gone missing.
10:00He hasn't gone on his own, has he?
10:02Frank!
10:04It's like he's got something to prove
10:06because he's 66.
10:08Why the hell has he gone off
10:10on his own?
10:12Oh, there he is.
10:14Frank! We're going!
10:16Everybody's out looking for you.
10:18Do not do that again!
10:20We said we were going!
10:22No, and you're bleeding on!
10:24Have we got a fright?
10:26We've got to move because the tide's rising.
10:28We're a team.
10:30And that's everyone.
10:32Do you know what that's called?
10:34Democracy, son.
10:36Not dictatorship.
10:38Let's all just fuck off and do what we want.
10:40He ain't going to listen to you, old goat.
10:42Right, this way!
10:44He's off his head to get his own.
10:50We're going this way, let's go.
10:52On the neighbouring island,
10:54the younger group have been following Ben
10:56for three hours.
10:59Still no sign of a beach.
11:01We are in what seems like
11:03the deepest, darkest bit of bush.
11:07Fuck, this is horrible.
11:09Snake!
11:11Where?
11:13Where?
11:15Massive boa!
11:17Oh, God!
11:19Don't fuck about, keep going.
11:21This is just dire.
11:23We are not sleeping in the jungle.
11:25What was that?
11:27I just saw something big scuttling.
11:29Shitting an owl.
11:31There's no way I want to spend the night here.
11:33No way.
11:39Come on, let's keep going through the jungle.
11:43Jesus.
11:45I've marooned two sets of people
11:47from two different generations
11:49on a pair of remote Pacific islands.
11:53Neither has any idea the other is there.
11:56Everyone just relax and keep going.
11:58If anyone has another opinion,
12:00please let me know.
12:02Electrician Ben has been trying to lead
12:04the younger group to a beach
12:06for the last four hours.
12:08Spikes on that, watch out.
12:10And they're beginning to lose their faith
12:12in his navigation skills.
12:14We're turning slightly on ourselves.
12:16We're going back to the mangrove.
12:18I think we go this way, personally.
12:20Did I not say that?
12:22No, you said that.
12:24The first thing we're doing,
12:26which isn't what Ben's saying to do,
12:28is a wrong, apparently.
12:30Can you hear me out for a second?
12:32There's a stream leading down here.
12:34You found a stream?
12:36I think we should follow it.
12:38Yeah, I don't mind.
12:40The group's youngest member, Freddy,
12:42thinks following the stream
12:44could lead them to a beach.
12:46Do you feel confident, Freddy?
12:48As long as we carry on going downhill.
12:50I live on a farm
12:52with my parents.
12:54I've trapped fish in a net in the loch.
12:56We do stalking here,
12:58shooting stags.
13:00I've always had trouble working for Dad.
13:02It was affecting our relationship.
13:04Maybe I can prove that I can work hard.
13:08Shall I just run ahead and look?
13:10I'm used to running through woods and things.
13:12Remember we're following the 18-year-old here.
13:14Just saying, all right?
13:17This looks like it could be a good spot, this, doesn't it?
13:19On the neighbouring island,
13:2166-year-old Frank
13:23has led the older group to a potential campsite.
13:25This might be perfect.
13:27Hey, look at this, look.
13:29There's limpets galore around here.
13:31This is a feast.
13:33There's some trees,
13:35so we should be able to get some shelter in there.
13:37Well done, Frankie.
13:39It could be a good spot, this, doesn't it?
13:41We're on some sort of slope,
13:43so we should be able to get some shelter in there.
13:45It could be a good spot, this, doesn't it?
13:47We're on some sort of safe ground now.
13:49We might have struck gold here.
13:51Might be fucking one of those
13:53sets of people
13:55where shit happens for us.
13:59Let's make camp.
14:03Despite the long trek,
14:05Frank is eager to keep working.
14:07I think we need somebody
14:09who's an expert at the fire-starting.
14:11I reckon me and you crack it.
14:14While Frank prepares the tools to start a fire...
14:16Let's do this.
14:18..cameraman Phil and medic Aaron
14:20search for a fresh water source
14:22in the jungle.
14:24Argh!
14:26That is clear water.
14:30That's a top find.
14:32Look how almost clear that is.
14:34They got water!
14:36Absolutely fantastic.
14:38Fantastic. What good news that is.
14:40Oh, well.
14:42Let's go see if we can light the fire now.
14:44They won't be able to drink the water
14:46until they can boil it.
14:48OK, right.
14:50Can we stop talking while we're doing this now?
14:52Right, so...
14:58That's it.
15:02The key to survival
15:04is simply hard work.
15:06It really is a constant process
15:08and a fundamental element
15:10of survival is having that strong work ethic.
15:18That's hot, mate. That's hot. You ready?
15:20Right, right, right, right, right.
15:22Go on.
15:24Yes!
15:26Go, mate. Go, mate. Go, mate.
15:28Go!
15:30Yeah!
15:32Slow, slow, slow.
15:34Man, that key's a trojan
15:36the perseverance he's got
15:39for a fella of his age is admired.
15:41After hours
15:43of hard graft,
15:45Frank's grit and determination
15:47has paid off.
15:49Realize my fire!
15:51Absolutely ecstatic.
15:53In fact, I'm orgasmic.
15:55Well done, Frank.
15:59We got fire. We got fresh water.
16:01Mate, we're doing all right.
16:03Are you still confident
16:05you're going the right way?
16:07100%. Cos if we go this way,
16:09we're gonna hit the city.
16:1118-year-old Freddy
16:13has taken over from Ben
16:15in trying to lead the younger group
16:17out of the jungle.
16:19But with just an hour to go before sunset,
16:21tensions are growing.
16:23I think we go right a bit, yeah?
16:25Are you smoking crack?
16:27No.
16:29Let's back on ourselves.
16:32And then we'll carry on going that way.
16:34Oh, my God, please.
16:36We just keep going this way, that way,
16:38this way, that way.
16:40Do you want to lead or not?
16:42I think Freddy is just a little baby
16:44and he's just trying to help.
16:46And I think Ben is intimidating Cormac quite a lot.
16:48I thought I was bone-ready,
16:50but I've come out here.
16:52And now I'm following Freddy.
16:54There's a spring here, I think.
16:56Yes! Oh, my God.
16:58While Freddy may not have found a beach yet,
17:00he's made an important discovery.
17:02That's fresh water. That would last us the whole time.
17:04Look at that.
17:06Sick.
17:08We've got a water source.
17:10So I can see palm trees.
17:12It looks really positive.
17:14Guys, we can hear the sea.
17:16Are you joking?
17:18I can see sand, I can see sand.
17:20I'm going!
17:22Gorgeous. Palm trees the lot.
17:24Go on, Fred.
17:26I don't think we'll ever get here.
17:28Oh, jeez.
17:30Well done. Well done.
17:36He's caught a fish!
17:40It may be the youngest,
17:42but you caught it.
17:44Yay!
17:52I'm getting really thirsty.
17:54The trek through the jungle
17:56has left the younger group dehydrated,
17:58and the one day's supply of water
18:00in their jerry cans
18:02is under strict rationing.
18:04Because I'm going to pass out.
18:06I agree.
18:08I don't want anything else in the world, I just want water.
18:10Before they can drink
18:12the water Freddy found at the spring,
18:14they must make a fire to purify it.
18:18I'm really trying not to cry,
18:20I'm really trying not to cry,
18:22but I feel really sick because I'm so thirsty.
18:26I can smell burning, but...
18:28You can smell, but, like,
18:30it's all just in your head.
18:34Goodnight, everyone.
18:36As darkness falls,
18:38the group give up on the fire
18:40and try to get some sleep.
18:42Goodnight.
18:46I don't think I was a three-year-old
18:48going to bed at this time.
18:52Well,
18:54I'm the kind of guy
18:56who will never settle down,
18:58cos where the girls are,
19:00well, you know that I'm around.
19:02On the neighbouring island,
19:04the older group have made themselves palm-leaf beds
19:06for the night.
19:08This is going to be OK.
19:12I'm feeling strong,
19:14easier than I thought it was going to be.
19:16So far, it's been no different than going to work.
19:18In my life,
19:20I always end up being the boss.
19:22Everybody seems to want me to do things,
19:24cos I can do things. I'm a positive bloke.
19:26Frank.
19:28I love him. He's done a smashing job.
19:34That smells delightful.
19:36We went like fuck and we succeeded.
19:38Look at us now. We look like fuck.
19:42And taste.
19:44The group have even managed to make themselves
19:46a limpet broth.
19:48First night.
19:50That's a lot of food, man.
19:52That's fucking lovely.
19:54Mate, we have smashed it the first night.
19:56Absolutely smashed it.
20:06Last night was not comfortable.
20:10After a sleepless night on the beach,
20:12the younger group are up at first light.
20:14We've been sweating all night long.
20:16My mouth is so damn dry.
20:20Oh, my God.
20:22That's dark.
20:24We are dehydrated, guys.
20:28We are super dehydrated.
20:32Down to their last few litres of water,
20:34the group urgently need to collect more
20:36and make a fire to purify it.
20:40So what's our plan, then?
20:42Split into a couple of groups
20:44to obviously go and get some water.
20:46Who's on fire?
20:48Stop talking about it
20:50and go and fucking do it, will you?
20:52Are you all right, Emma?
20:54Yes, I'm just pissed off.
20:56Are you doing that to me?
20:58Yeah. We're just trying to work out
21:00what our priorities are and you just...
21:02It don't take eight people
21:04to work a plan out.
21:06I'm like a fucking baby.
21:10Ben's being a poo-face.
21:12He's just so rude.
21:14He'll just be like, oh, fucking...
21:16He's so rude.
21:18Look at this beach.
21:20It looks so long.
21:22We need water.
21:24Eager to get away from Ben,
21:26Dr Emma and Freddie volunteered
21:28to collect water from the spring
21:30they found yesterday.
21:32I find Ben difficult.
21:34It's difficult to get your opinion heard
21:36because he just has his own opinion
21:38and he will listen to no-one else.
21:40I'm actually nervous.
21:42Come on, don't be nervous. Let's go.
21:44You get these big characters
21:46who have a lot of ego, a lot of opinions
21:48and become very dominating.
21:50It's really cack-handed, right?
21:52It only takes one or two difficult,
21:54tricky, confrontational people
21:56to sour a group.
21:58Put your other knee forward.
22:00This is completely cack-handed.
22:02Ben, try your left leg.
22:04It's not too much pressure, Ben.
22:06That's bending. It's going to snap.
22:08Stop.
22:10Ben, obviously, being Ben,
22:12like a bud in a china shop,
22:14he's just going in with brute strength
22:16and he's fucking bent the drill.
22:18Everyone thinks they're doing it right.
22:20I don't think I'm doing it right.
22:22I think that was a little bit wrong,
22:24what he was doing.
22:26He thinks he's doing it right.
22:28I think that might be
22:30make a better bow.
22:34He thinks he's right.
22:36He thinks he's right.
22:42Frustrated by the others
22:44not listening to him,
22:46Ben opts out of fire duty.
22:48Fuck those.
22:50People think they know it all.
22:52Middle-class...
22:54Because they read a book,
22:56they know exactly what they're doing.
22:58Don't get me wrong.
23:00That's probably one of my downfalls.
23:02I don't read enough.
23:04But I've got savvy.
23:06I know what to do.
23:08If we don't make fire today,
23:10we can't do it tomorrow.
23:20I can't.
23:24I'm just so thirsty.
23:34Booking size for eight people.
23:38Can't be not doing something
23:40when there's stuff to do.
23:42On the other island,
23:4466-year-old Frank and his fellow castaways
23:46are forging ahead with the camp build.
23:48Well done. That's brilliant.
23:50Bingo.
23:52I want to go for a massage.
23:54My husband will scratch my back
23:56but only if I do the moans,
23:58like, oh, that's nice.
24:00And then...
24:02I'm looking for a bit of bloody knocking.
24:04Mine's always my feet.
24:06Oh, yeah, these beauties.
24:08Oh, I'd love to see those.
24:10I'll tell you what,
24:12he would suck them for a bit of knocking.
24:14Don't you?
24:18I just feel really good.
24:20I'm really happy.
24:22We've accomplished so much.
24:24And it's just insane.
24:32Ready?
24:38Fred.
24:40Ready.
24:42As night falls,
24:44the younger group have managed
24:46to build a basic shelter.
24:48But they have failed to make a fire
24:50and with limited drinking water,
24:52their situation is reaching crisis point.
24:54Better get duck on that dock.
24:56Ready?
24:58Ready?
25:00People feel
25:02weak, close to fainting
25:04when they stand up.
25:06It's getting serious now.
25:08At the moment,
25:10we're just slowly dying, really, aren't we?
25:14Happy birthday
25:16to you.
25:18Happy birthday
25:20to you.
25:22Happy birthday, dear
25:24Jade of the jungle.
25:26Happy birthday
25:28to you.
25:32Today, retired police officer Jane
25:34is celebrating her 50th birthday.
25:36You'll like this.
25:38And Frank has scavenged a present for her.
25:48What we could do with
25:50is water.
25:52Let's go and have a look.
25:54With the party over,
25:56he's got a water source to top up supplies.
26:00Don't work too hard, mate.
26:02This is for Karl.
26:04I'm the only man in the world to sail my yacht
26:06around America in a figure of eight.
26:08Bloody good job, mate.
26:14What happened, Frank?
26:16The water level has fallen
26:18between yesterday and today.
26:20Shit, man.
26:22I think he's dried up.
26:24We're fucked.
26:26Without at least two litres of water
26:28each per day,
26:30the group risks serious dehydration.
26:34Let's sit down and get a plan of action.
26:36Back at camp,
26:38Jagger calls an emergency meeting.
26:40At the minute, we've got
26:42enough water
26:44to see us through tomorrow.
26:46By the end of tomorrow,
26:48we're absolutely desperate for water.
26:50I don't think we're in the right place.
26:52There's no luck here for us.
26:54There's no resource.
26:56We need to make our own luck, I think.
26:58So I'd say that's the island.
27:00We're there.
27:02We don't want to be anywhere on this side of the island, do we?
27:04It's all rocks.
27:06To survive, you've got to adapt to your environment
27:08and then be flexible.
27:10It's your brain that's the greatest survival tool you've got.
27:12You've got to use it.
27:14So we need to go out on an expedition?
27:16Yeah.
27:18I'm really good at navigating.
27:20Frank is the first to volunteer for the challenge.
27:22That man is a machine.
27:24But we need to reel him in.
27:26We need to keep him under control
27:28because we don't want to burn him out.
27:34With only 24 hours' supply of water left,
27:36Frank scours the island
27:38for an alternative source.
27:40Fucking hell!
27:42Which is proving impossible to locate.
27:44Walk backwards and forwards,
27:46round in circles, all over the place,
27:48no water.
27:50Nothing.
27:52But Frank has spotted what could be
27:54a potential solution.
27:56Look at that.
27:58There is another island
28:00very, very close.
28:02A big hill there.
28:04And I would have thought there's plenty of water
28:06rushing down that hill.
28:08Water on the island is scarce
28:10and on the smaller islands,
28:12it's practically non-existent.
28:14So if the older group want to find
28:16the Tithe, they're going to have to
28:18navigate the Tithe and make it
28:20to the main island.
28:22You definitely reckon that's a crossing point?
28:24Because we've got a very low tide,
28:26it's probably only about 40 metres
28:28at the moment.
28:30I'd like to explore it, really.
28:42I'm so fucking thirsty.
28:44The younger group are now down
28:46to their last litre of water.
28:48And without fire,
28:50it's impossible to purify more.
28:52Caggy.
28:54Don't cry, babes.
28:56We're going to nail this today.
29:00Guys, are we ready?
29:02With the group on their knees,
29:04Ben decides to put yesterday's argument
29:06behind him.
29:08Someone else has been taking control of the fire.
29:10It's Ben's turn today.
29:12Let's see how we get on.
29:14Right, you ready?
29:18Come.
29:22Ben's tested
29:24everyone's patience.
29:26I get the impression sometimes that he
29:28doesn't really know what he's doing,
29:30but won't admit it.
29:32Come on. Hold it still.
29:34Come on, baby.
29:38Keep going, keep going.
29:42Come on.
29:48Oh, my God, you've got an ember.
29:50I feel like I might cry
29:52if he makes fire right now.
29:56So good.
30:02Go for the best, expect the worst.
30:04Go for the best, expect the worst.
30:06You're ready, yeah? Cos this is going to go.
30:08A bit nervous. Very, very nervous.
30:10Come on.
30:12Oh, my God!
30:14Yes!
30:16We've got fire!
30:18All right, guys, let's keep it going.
30:20It's a moment of miracles.
30:22Come on, guys.
30:24That's how you fucking do it, my son.
30:28Right, there's no egos here.
30:30Fred, you get involved, mate.
30:32Oh, team!
30:34I can't believe you got it done.
30:36You absolute hero.
30:38Oh, it just means we've got water.
30:40Just buzzing that.
30:42It went from the lowest to the low.
30:44Now we're on a higher.
30:46What, an hour later?
30:50Oh, give it to me, give it to me,
30:52give it to me.
30:54This is what I've dreamed of
30:56for the last three days.
30:58Oh, my God, that's so good.
31:04With the water crisis over,
31:06the younger group
31:08take a well-earned break.
31:10It's all my nipples.
31:12What was it like?
31:14What was it like?
31:16Oh!
31:20One of those things we've been eating.
31:22Limp tits.
31:24Limp tits?
31:28My nipple is not like a limp tit.
31:30Limp tits.
31:32Oh, my God!
31:34Freddie!
31:38I wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now.
31:40I feel really, really good, which is awesome.
31:42We can just smash this
31:44the rest of this week.
31:46It's looking good.
31:52Bitches, we ain't staying here.
31:54We got to get going.
31:56Right.
31:58Today, Frank, Jagger and Steph
32:00are heading to the neighbouring island
32:02to search for a sustainable water source.
32:04Frank, lead the way, mate.
32:06If we find a spot, we're up for that.
32:10Watch yourself, Frankie, baby.
32:12It's not all that difficult.
32:16It takes Frank's search party
32:18two hours to reach a channel between the islands.
32:20At high tide,
32:22the water is deep and fast-flowing.
32:24But today, they've got lucky,
32:26crossing at low tide.
32:28Let's go.
32:30Let's get narrow and narrow around there.
32:34Whoa!
32:36Big palm trees!
32:38Oh, yes!
32:40Let's go and knock a coconut at a tree.
32:42Safely on the other side,
32:44their efforts are immediately rewarded.
32:46Come on, you beauty!
32:50That's the beauty!
32:54Whoa!
32:56Did you jump into that?
32:58That's none of your job, isn't it?
33:00It's women's work.
33:02What's that? It's women's work?
33:04Oh, oh!
33:06Does your wife have your tea ready for you
33:08when you come back in the evening?
33:10Every night, others bother.
33:12The serious bother I've come up with
33:14when my tea's not on the table.
33:16And how long have you been married, Frank?
33:1846 years.
33:20Because my tea's on the table half past six.
33:22It wouldn't have lasted so long if my tea hadn't been on the table.
33:24And do you know what?
33:26And who's right and who's wrong?
33:28Well, we're both wrong. Fair enough.
33:30Right, guys, we've got a lot of coastline to get round.
33:32We've got to move.
33:34Look at that water source.
33:36Oh, wow!
33:38Get in there.
33:40Get in there.
33:44Morale boosts in this beach.
33:46That's the freshest water I've painted.
33:48Can you see anywhere for a camp in here?
33:50Nah.
33:52You just need a bit of higher land, don't you?
33:56Spurred on by their success finding water,
33:58Frank encourages the search party
34:00to press on and explore the island
34:02for potential campsites.
34:06Getting bit by little ants.
34:08Like ants back at home on steroids.
34:10This ain't habitable.
34:14Do you hear that thump?
34:20That's human activity.
34:22I thought not.
34:24Oh!
34:26I see people.
34:28What?
34:30I can see four or five people.
34:32Fuckin' hell!
34:34Who are these guys?
34:40Guys!
34:42Guys!
34:44Oh, my God!
34:46What's going on?
34:48Oh, my God!
34:50How are you?
34:52How are you?
34:54Oh, my God!
34:56Lovely to meet you.
34:58Hello, mate.
35:00You make a lady older than a young, innit?
35:02How many have you did? Two, four, six?
35:04Eight of us.
35:06I'm 66.
35:0866?
35:10Come on, Frank.
35:12We're on a tiny little island.
35:14So we've realised we've got to get the fuck off down there.
35:16There's nothing on there.
35:18Come see our house.
35:20It ain't big enough for you lot, all right?
35:22So don't get your hopes up.
35:26This is our boudoir.
35:28But you're sleeping on the floor.
35:30I know.
35:32We came and we've rescued you.
35:34Oh, my goodness!
35:36I don't want to be rescued.
35:38Would you guys mind if we pick a coconut?
35:40You're asking us whether you can pick a coconut, for true?
35:42If you were coming to this beach
35:44and you were going for the coconuts and all that,
35:46it's just going to be awkward on my end, anyway.
35:48There's nothing on our island.
35:50Nothing, mate.
35:52Do you know how to get back there, though?
35:54All the best. Nice meeting you.
35:56Bye. Nice to meet you. See you.
36:00Bye, mate.
36:02As Frank, Steph and Jagger
36:04start the long journey back to their island,
36:06both groups are left wondering
36:08whether or not to join forces.
36:10I don't know how I feel about the oldies,
36:12because they've realised that we have a lot of resources here,
36:14so we're all a bit panicky about that.
36:16What do you think, then?
36:18About what?
36:20About the older group?
36:22It seems that they've had, obviously, fire,
36:24which we've felt is such a big thing.
36:26I'm just kind of sulking a bit, I think.
36:28Why? What's up?
36:30I just don't want it to look like...
36:32They're helping us. Yeah.
36:34I think first round to the old boys, are they?
36:36Like, aptitude's one thing,
36:38but if you ain't got skills,
36:40you're not going to survive.
36:42Age gives you experience.
36:44Oh, I didn't like to see that, Ben.
36:46The gobby block.
36:48He's obviously the, er,
36:50younger version of me, isn't he?
36:52The cheeky chappy.
36:54Here.
37:02The wanderers return!
37:04We were getting worried about you guys.
37:06Oh, mate, weren't they shattered?
37:08Oh, bless you.
37:10After a long and successful trip to find water,
37:12the returning search party
37:14are keen to report
37:16their other significant discovery.
37:18Some big news. Big news.
37:20There was another group.
37:22A young group.
37:24Fantastic! How old are they?
37:26Young.
37:28Unbelievable.
37:30They've been sleeping on the floor,
37:32struggling.
37:34They just made fire today.
37:36Oh!
37:40All right, Ed,
37:42so what are we going to do, then?
37:44Having agreed to set off
37:46to the new island tomorrow at first light,
37:48the group are unconvinced
37:50about joining forces
37:52with the younger islanders.
37:54I think adding an extra eight people
37:56that are completely unknown,
37:58it makes for an incredibly volatile group.
38:00My preference would be
38:02to go and find our own spot
38:04and do our own thing.
38:06Yeah. Yeah.
38:08Yeah. Yeah.
38:10So is everyone in agreement we're up for that?
38:12Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
38:22Are you just knackered, mate?
38:24I've got re-exhaustion.
38:26You have been well overdoing it.
38:28It's the day
38:30of the older group's journey
38:32to the new island.
38:34But exhaustion
38:36has caught up with their oldest member.
38:38Frank's not too good.
38:40He's just had a slight sort of
38:42fainting, wobbly feeling.
38:44It's getting hot.
38:46Yeah.
38:48It's a bit worrying, actually.
38:54I want to get my first set of boots on
38:56so that when we do blow the whistle to go,
38:58they're not waiting for me.
39:00It's not going to be a burden to anybody.
39:02It concerns me, though,
39:04in life.
39:06Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
39:08Let's move out.
39:10After a slow start to the day,
39:12the group face a race against time
39:14to reach a crossing point
39:16before the tide rises.
39:18Let's go.
39:20Get a hold of that. Come backwards.
39:24Oh, this is nasty.
39:26Oh.
39:28Why is everybody
39:30walking so easily?
39:32Stop this. Don't stop.
39:34Can't get it out.
39:38Ah!
39:40Fuck! Bollocks!
39:42Flip over
39:44on your front
39:46and crawl.
39:50What am I doing here?
39:52Yeah.
39:56I think, just first of all,
39:58just, like, stretch
40:00and then you're going to let yourself kind of
40:02almost flop forwards gently,
40:04slowly, and just let everything relax
40:06and hang down.
40:08Having secured fire and water,
40:10the younger group are finding time
40:12to fulfil their other needs.
40:14Move!
40:16Yeah, boy!
40:18They're more feeling that nice stretch.
40:20Lovely. We're all so happy.
40:22We've just boosted our morale
40:24a thousand times.
40:28Oh, that's massive.
40:30It's a big bad boy, isn't it?
40:32Oh, yeah, boy!
40:34Oh, my God.
40:36Get it over on its bench.
40:38Woo!
40:40I feel bad for doubting Ben now.
40:42Did you say he was doubting me? Yeah.
40:44How can you doubt me when I say I'm doing something?
40:46I'm doing it.
40:48Oh, my God.
40:52Oh, my God.
40:54It's like fish and chips.
40:56Amazing.
40:58She's 18 to 30!
41:00Woo!
41:02Woo-hoo!
41:04Oh, damn.
41:14After two hours slogging through the mud,
41:16the older group have eventually reached
41:18the crossing point.
41:20Where are we going? Over that way?
41:22Prang is fucked. He's knackered.
41:24The tide is rising
41:26really fast.
41:28We've got to go. We've got to go.
41:30But they've arrived
41:32at the most dangerous time to make the trip.
41:34High tide.
41:36I'll tell you that for now.
41:38I'm not confident swimming in that.
41:40Guys, we need to go now!
41:42Now, now, now, now, now!
41:44Now!
41:50Shit.
41:52The stretch of water between these islands
41:54may look calm on the surface,
41:56but as the tides rise and fall,
41:58huge volumes of water
42:00fall through the channel.
42:02When you add in the extreme fatigue
42:04they're going through from that lack of food and sleep,
42:06then you start to ramp up the risk
42:08to dangerous levels.
42:10It only takes seconds
42:12for the boat to turn around.
42:14Despite the dangers,
42:16the islanders decide
42:18to attempt the swim in two groups.
42:20You guys all right down there?
42:22Yeah.
42:24God,
42:26look how far they've drifted.
42:28We need to be going.
42:30Prang, are we going to take that over?
42:32Yeah, we need to take that over.
42:34Impatient as ever,
42:36Prang sets off on his own.
42:38Prang, you're tired.
42:40Please don't go in yet.
42:42We're going to move as a team.
42:46I give up.
42:52You all right, Prang?
43:02You're going to have to kick a bit harder, Prang.
43:04You're drifting too much.
43:06Come on, Prang.
43:08You're drifting fast.
43:10Prang, you need to kick
43:12and you need to push it forward
43:14because you're going right now.
43:18Yeah, exactly.
43:20Push the boat in front of you and swim.
43:22Prang, just hold on.
43:24You're in a current.
43:28Prang!
43:30Shit.
43:32He's going.
43:34Oh, my God.
43:36Okay.
43:38You're a strong swimmer, Jackie.
43:40Prang!
43:46Prang!
43:50Oh, my God.
43:52Prang!
44:08All right?
44:22You all right, mate?
44:24Yeah, the job's good.
44:28Close, isn't it?
44:30No.
44:32Close.
44:40That was totally avoidable, really.
44:44Prang's just his own worst enemy sometimes.
44:46If he'd just listened to people's advice,
44:48he'd make everyone else's life easier.
44:50And this is what he don't understand.
44:52These decisions impact on a group.
44:54It's not...
44:56We're not living in Prang's world.
44:58It's been a fucking night, man.
45:00I'm absolutely knackered.
45:02With Frank safely escorted to the new island,
45:06the exhausted group's plans to trek further up the coast
45:10are in disarray.
45:12It's all coastal line walking,
45:14rocky terrain,
45:16and the tide's going to come back big.
45:22Stranded and with night drawing in,
45:24the group are now faced
45:26with the prospect of building a temporary camp from scratch.
45:30We've no water.
45:32We've two litres of water now to last us 12 hours.
45:34We're not having cameras.
45:36We've got no food at all.
45:38Nothing.
45:40Prang's fuming.
45:42This is a fucking joke, what you're doing here.
45:46Prang, lie down.
45:48Right, lie down, lie down, mate.
45:50Lie down.
45:52Prang's gone off on one huge broken sail
45:54and he got himself too hard too quick,
45:56which is a pain in the arse for the group.
45:58Prang!
46:00Are you all right, babe?
46:02Prang!
46:04Chopped a bit of wood.
46:06Oh, for fuck's sake.
46:08Right, start.
46:10Mate.
46:12Rough like fuck.
46:14Make a bed.
46:16Just take it easy now.
46:18I'm not doing this. I am off.
46:20Get me off. Forget it.
46:22I'm coming up the island.
46:24Next time on the island.
46:28This is so shit.
46:30We should join up with them.
46:32Yeah, I want to, Mum.
46:34You and you, shift your arses now.
46:36Trying to get some work done.
46:38Absolute bitch.
46:40I have not seen you once chopping wood.
46:42You talk bollocks.
46:44Fuck off.
46:46I was scared.
46:48I went off my mind to go back to my old camp.
46:52I'm not going back.
46:54I'm not going back.
46:56I'm not going back.
46:58I'm not going back.
47:00I'm not going back.
47:02I'm not going back.
47:04I'm not going back.
47:06I'm not going back.
47:08I'm not going back.
47:10I'm not going back.
47:12I'm not going back.
47:14I'm not going back.
47:16I'm not going back.
47:18I'm not going back.
