The Villa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Villa was a reality TV show, originally produced by Talent TV from 1999, and aired on Sky One for four series until 2003
Executive Produced for Sky by Jamie Robert, the Villa took four men and four women, computer-matched for compatibility, and flew them from the UK to an exotic Spanish villa for a week of fun and activities in and around the Costa Blanca. Cameras would follow the players around all week in Big Brother style, to see if the computer matched the right couples or if it was dead wrong.
Voiced by Mark Little, the show featured student age participants, so involved a lot of snogging, fumbling, drinking and Brits behaving badly. The "players" were typically easy on the eye, and spent the week teasing each other but rarely actually hooking up for the cameras.
At the end of the week, the computer's matches are revealed to see if the couples paired off the way it predicted
[edit] Series 4
For series Four, in what became the final 12shows in the series, the format changed. Nine contestants were taken to the Villa, but only six stayed for the week. This series was voiced over by Chris Moyles, and set in Ibiza
