“Lots of people have fond memories of watching Shipwrecked in their youth and dreaming about joining the fun in paradise. “Now Channel 4 have decided to give millennials the same experience, after Love Island proved sun-kissed hunks and beauties frolicking in a tropical setting can result in huge ratings. “While there have been similar shows recently, like The Island and Mission Survive, they are all about making people miserable by forcing them to fight for their lives in the wild."The show originally launched in 2000, running for three seasons - before it went off air in 2001. It returned to television screens in 2006, with a new "battle of the islands" format. It ran for a total of eight series, with the final one airing on E4 in 2012. And, judging by social media, it's the news that reality TV fans have been waiting for - and for a long time. https://twitter.com/jedmcfarlane/status/575733963228114944 https://twitter.com/gavinbrownemail/status/986125632919785473 https://twitter.com/Aaronscotcarter/status/978230708568317952 https://twitter.com/velzzb/status/768748139247460352 https://twitter.com/Anthony_Hornsby/status/534117258692669441
