The Island with Bear Grylls

The men are radically losing weight, existing on a paltry average of just 300 calories a day. With their very survival hanging in the balance, the castaways lose patience with those they feel are not pulling their weight.

Three weeks into their survival experience and the group is barely getting by on a meagre diet of snails and coconuts. Willing to take ever greater risks for food, Mike and Chris battle with dangerous tides, while tempers fray as it appears that not everyone is pulling their weight. Frustrated by their failure to find another caiman croc, a hunting party risks a trip to the treacherous mangroves at night.

Bear Grylls visits the men at the end of their stay on the island to explore how they coped and how the experience has affected them. Bear also reveals the secrets of how the show was made, with a unique behind-the-scenes look at managing the medical risks and maintaining the camera kit in extreme conditions. Bear gets to see first-hand how the men have been living for the past four weeks. He tours the camp and reflects with the men on their personal approaches to surviving. When pushed to the very limit, what did they learn about themselves and each other?
