Jailbreak in general

After Big Brother, the television networks were all desperate to have the next fly-on-the-wall, warts and all style documentary. Jailbreak was a low budget attempt to try a slightly different method. Take 10 normal(!) people and lock them away in a specially-created jail for 3 weeks. The aim (obviously!) is for them to escape, in doing so they stand to win large sums of money. The catch is that the money earned is on a sliding scale, so the first person(s) to escape will get more than those who get out later. Seems a reasonable concept for a show, but Channel 5 spoiled it by making it too easy for the convicts to escape. After being told initially ...

I laugh at channel 5 thinking that they could make a series as popular and as famous as big brother !!! They tried to copy it and i thought "might as well watch this" and EVERY night i managed to forget to watch it, can't be that famous or gripping can it now ?? !! Even the website is an exact copy off the big brother one, can they be any more greedy ?? They sure can, the text boxes which come up on screen are exactly the same style with "day no." and "time underneath. You will have to see for yourself to know what i mean probably. ...

This is another fairly original concept by Channel 5, but it takes a serious matter and makes it light-hearted, which it obviously isn't for those involved in the real world. It isn't pulled off with the same style as Big Brother was. Inside the jail prisoners are allowed to read emails from people watching on the TV, to tell them where things are so that they can escape. How stupid is that? Craig Charles cannot even save this from being pretty rubbish. Bit like all Channel 5 productions really. ...
