The Island With Bear Grylls

Old and young go head to head on Bear GryllsŐ epic survival series. Marooned separately on a pair of remote tropical islands, which generation has what it takes to survive when pushed to the limits of human endurance?

The young realise theyŐve chosen the wrong campsite when rain turns it into an uninhabitable swamp. They move in with the older group who have set up camp further north, but the older group arenŐt entirely pleased with their new neighbours.

With old and young now living side by side, the islanders are hoping to hit their stride; but a few weeks into their time on the island, lack food is an ever-pressing concern, and tempers are fraying.

This time the islanders face Mother Nature at her most violent and brutal. Having endured a series of torrential downpours which have ravaged their campsite, unknown to them a hurricane is brewing 100 miles to the north.

After four weeks on the island, the castaways have lost much of their bodyweight, and they are increasingly beleaguered as they enter their last days. 50-year-old Karen is suffering more than the rest, with dangerously low blood sugar.

Survival expert, Bear Grylls looks at how two groups from two different generations survived for five weeks on an uninhabited pacific island.
