Bear begins a third series in which two groups of eight men and women are left on an uninhabited island with no more than a few basic tools. Both groups are abandoned on the opposite side of the same island, but neither group knows that the other is there, will you also watch it? It starts 9pm on ch4

Yes, they were pal, it is interesting to see what kind of things they will do you know from basically nothing.

I watched the second series and it was really good. Makes me a bit panicky to see them so thirsty though, and I end up drinking loads of water!

Wasn't it the last series when sage and onion (the piglets) got eaten by the female group?

I still remember the squeals :/

Great show though, better than his ITV one

It's an interesting programme even just for the group dynamics and decision making process the groups make.

It also shows how inept a lot of people are without everyday facilities and luxuries. Worth a watch.

The guys a bit of a fool.

As a nutritionist of 34yrs I can tell you for fact there is NEVER a situation where you should drink your own pee nor should you EVER pee on a wound a good old spiders web would be the choice for a wound.

Ray Mears,Les Stroud,Matt Graham & Cody Lundin know their stuff

I would agree with you on the open wound bit, although many years ago in Zimbabwe, I came across 2 guys holding a man down while a 3rd urinated in his eyes. Turns out a cobra spat in his face and there was no water for miles, this saved his eyesight.

She's an interesting character. I'm on the fence though cause whilst I think she's ballsy, she's giving the anti-men vibe. I'm all for feminism but I'm not keen on unnecessary man hating.

I used a survival tip I learned off Bear Griller. One night I was lost, it was dar, pelting down with rain, no stars to navigate by, no survival gear, no mobile signal and all I had on me was an Amex card.

So I checked into the nearest Holiday Inn.

Ray Mears is the man, Boar Griller is just a wannabe showbiz survival celeb.
