[00:06.27]Task:who will go on Shipwrecked?
[00:10.50]1 Read about a new TV programme
[00:14.45]called Shipwrecked!
[00:16.90]Shipwrecked!will be a major new TV series
[00:19.77]featuring six volinteers(plus any children they
[00:23.49]have)who will go and live on a remote island in
[00:26.39]the Pacific Ocean for a whole year.
[00:29.59]They will be accompanied by a cameraman who
[00:31.86]will have complete freedom to film them
[00:35.17]The aims of the programme are to see how modern
[00:37.23]people survive in primitive conditions,and how
[00:40.20]the group manage to get on with each other.
[00:43.68]The participants will be paid ￡50,000 each if
[00:46.82]they complete the year successfully,but nothing
[00:49.67]if they leave even a day early.
[00:53.15]The island chosen is uninhabited and the
[00:55.86]climate is tropical.
[00:57.42]It can only be reached by boat and helicopter,
[01:00.61]and it is an eight-hour journey to the nearest
[01:02.88]hospital.
[01:04.34]Participants will be given basic building
[01:06.87]materials,and emergency food supplies,but they
[01:10.14]will be expected to gather and hunt for food
[01:13.41]themselves,
[01:15.13]The cameraman will have a radio to call for
[01:17.53]help in emergencies,or if anyone decides
[01:20.23]to leave.
[01:21.93]From several thousand applicants,a shortlist of
[01:24.49]ten have just attended an assessment weekend,
[01:28.26]after which the final six will be chosen.
