Considered by many to be the true pioneer of the reality TV genre, the BBC's groundbreaking series Castaway 2000 is about to film a second season.
The original show began on the first day of the new millennium, 1 January 2000, and ended on 31 December of the same year.
Thirty-six people from all walks of British life were left to fend for themselves for an entire year on the hostile, barren island of Taransay in the Scottish Outer Hebrides.
They had to grow their own vegetables, kill their own meat and live as a community, after which they all returned home to their normal lives.
There was no winner and no loser - just a group of fundamentally-changed humans who gained an incredibly unique perspective on life through their experience.
The show is being revived and is called Castaway 2007.
The BBC has kept the destination a secret (all they say is "in a remote destination"), but according to the New Zealand Herald the filming venue could be Great Barrier Island, which is about 90 kilometres Northeast of Auckland, New Zealand in the outer Hauraki Gulf - the largest North Island offshore island.
Great Barrier Island is about 40 kilometres long, about 15 kilometres in maximum width and measures about 285 square kilometres. It provides protection to the Hauraki Gulf - hence its name.
The publication reported on Wednesday that on Tuesday night producers of the show met with islanders to discuss a bid to film Castaway there, promising to use the community for transport, labour and accommodation.
The show won't be filmed over a year this time, unfortunately - it's been cut to 12 weeks. There will only be 12 contestants this time around as well as "a few twists and surprises up our sleeve", according to Peter Fincham, BBC One controller.
One of which is the fact that episodes will be shown live in the new version, unlike the original, which was filmed during the course of 2000 but only broadcast in 2002 (it was aired in South Africa on BBC Prime).
A fan website of the series quotes Jeremy Mills - Managing Director and Executive Producer for Lion Television, who created the original concept - as saying that the true spirit of the show will still stay, despite the changes.
"I'm delighted that we are able to return to Castaway five years on," he said in a statement.
"It was exciting to be at the forefront of this type of programme and we're now looking forward to being able to take the idea forwards, incorporating everything we learnt then and since about making entertaining shows with an underlying purpose.
"One of the elements that marks Castaway out is that it really changed many of the people's lives for the better and I'm excited about seeing what happens this time.
"This is reality television with a purpose."
Castaway 2007 will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC Three.
There is no word yet whether it will make it to BBC Prime again or not. We'll keep you posted.
