Tempting Fortune

Channel: BBC Brit (DStv 120)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Reality Competition, Adventure, Reality

Tempting Fortune

Paddy McGuinness presents as 12 strangers give up all luxuries in the ultimate test of willpower, to endure a gruelling 18-day trek across the South African wilderness with only basic survival gear as they attempt to reach a shared £300,000 prize at the finish line.

However, the twist is that along the way, they can choose to spend some of that eventual prize money on luxury beds and meals, and not everyone will agree that a bed is worth £3,000.

Temptation has led to the fall of man since we were wandering around the garden of Eden.

Now, in a six-part series, the only test a group of 12 strangers will face is simple: to resist.

In Tempting Fortune, 12 strangers will spend 19 days in paradise.

Arriving with basic survival gear the group will think they have what it takes to become heroes of the latest reality adventure show.

But in order to win the substantial cash prize they will have to resist the temptation to spend any of it, in the ultimate test of willpower.

When the novelty of sleeping in the wilderness, bathing in rivers and eating their dull rations wears off, they will find out that all they crave is awaiting them.

Their wilderness will be full of expensive enticements and at every turn a mirage of home comforts will tempt them to indulge in the luxury on offer.

All of their whims and wishes are there for the taking, but everything has a price.

Giving in to temptation will come at a cost and reduce the prize fund for everyone.

The only way to win is to resist.

As a series of monstrous killings becomes ever more audacious, Luther and new recruit D.S. Catherine Halliday (Wunmi Mosaku) are confounded by a tangle of leads and misdirection that seems designed to protect an unspeakable horror.

But even as the case brings him closer than ever to the nature of true evil, a reluctant Luther must also face the ghosts of his own past.

Striding back into the line of fire, he must choose who to protect... and who to sacrifice.

Whatever his next move, it will have devastating consequences for those around him - and will change John Luther forever.
