Castaway 2000 was a show commissioned by the BBC in 2000 that took 36 men, women and children from the British public and placed them on Taransay, a remote Scottish island in the Outer Hebrides for a year. They were to become self-sufficient, grow their own vegetables, kill their own meat and become a community for the year.
[edit] After Castaway
For most, life returned to normal since the project closed on January 1, 2001. Only Ben Fogle, who was heavily featured in the shows and comes from a media family, has continued to work in TV, appearing as a regular on The Holiday Show and Countryfile amongst others.
