Outback House

I may cop some flak here but I think it is in a good cause.

There is a new Reality TV series to be made called Outback House. It is to be made by a UK production house in association with the ABC (of which I am an employee) and is the eighth is a series of period recreations (1940's house, Edwardian house, Frontier house). Unlike the gameshow or prize based crap this is the real fly-on-the-wall documentary type of reality TV.

It is to be based on a Sheep Station in 1861 outback Australia. The ABC is calling for willing participants for the 3 and a half month filming to go back in time and live as the people of the time would have lived.

I have registered for this as a potential participant and would love to know if other forumites would be interested in this given the affinity that many forumites have with outback Oz and exploring outback history.

I think it would be fascinating to take part and it would be a life-changing experience to be part of this project without any exposure to anything electronic for 15 weeks. I don't know what part of the outback they have in mind but I'm sure they would pick somewhere challenging!

Love to hear your comments
