Lucinda: A "very dreamy" 26-year-old who believes all men want her.

Joe Chicken: A 33-year-old who adores animals and kissing his friends - whether they want it or not.

The series, hosted by Danny Wallace, begins on Friday on BBC One, airing Sunday nights thereafter. Daily updates air on BBC Three.



What a DELIGHTFUL bunch they sound like.

saw clips this morning on breakfast news. New Zealand YAY!

but it seems they're trying to follow some v un-castaway reality tv rules, like introducing new people later in the show - and it's only for three months and not a year.

They sound LARGELY HIDEOUS :gross:

When they filmed it on Taransay it was FUN as it was just off our island, so we used to go over and visit a lot! Though they never showed THAT..or the days they all went to the local CO-OP for food!

That is indeed true - I like a definite chin myself.
