Description:Documentary telling the story of a faked reality gameshow
Earlier this year,30 young people gave up their jobs,homes and even relationships to take part in what they believed was a new TV reality game show with the chance to win ?100,000. For those who were selected,it seemed to be the chance of a lifetime. But when the contestants arrived to meet charismatic producer Nikita Russian they soon realised there was something seriously wrong. There was no broadcaster,no prize money and no show. The Great Reality TV Swindle features exclusive footage of the faked reality show as it unravelled over the course of a week. It looks at what drove the contestants to chase fame and the price they were forced to pay,and follows some as they track down the man they hold responsible to demand an explanation.
Narrator: Lisa Coleman
Produced and Directed by: Caz Gorham and Frances Dickenson
