I really enjoyed the first five episodes, but knew I would as I loved the original and know two people on it - 382 and 383. They both live in Brighton.

I bumped into them just after the series had filmed. They told me they’d done some reality TV and it was one of the toughest experiences they’d had in their life. You could tell they were emotionally drained!

We have watched the ones that have been released.

The setup is brilliantly like the series. We really enjoyed it and it does grip you. The one gripe i have with it is that they have too many nominations to vote people out rather than games. It was ok to have it once or twice but about 15 people have gone from nominations.

I also wish they stuck to the structure of the series but doing the tug of war rather than battleships. Either way worth a watch if you liked the series.

would have been better if they'd managed to make this show BEFORE the drama series came out. Simply invite people onto a new game show with a huge cash prize

the fact that they've all got prior knowledge of the tasks takes the edge off of it in my view

That's what struck me on episode 2 last night.
