Synopsis
In its original incarnation, Shipwrecked was a survival challenge; sixteen young people were left on a South Pacific island, and challenged to live on their wits and concealed supplies for three months. This experiment - which had no prize, or clear winner - ran for three series between 2000 and 2001, but was not renewed when Channel 4's soap opera Hollyoaks expanded to five episodes per week.
The show that returned in 2006 bore the same title as its predecessor, and was made by the same company, but everything else had changed. In an update of the old "social experiment" format, a bunch of 18 to 24-year-olds are split into two tribes, each with its own island. Each week, a new person arrives and the tribes must compete to convince the newcomer to join them. The tribe with the most members at the end wins. A second series in 2007 was promoted from Sunday lunchtime to early evenings, and included a viewer phone-in.
After a two year break, the series returned in late 2011, with participants all living on one island. Episodes debuted on digital channel E4, repeated on Channel 4 later in the week.
Trivia
One of the contestants in the late 2001 series was Jeff Brazier, who would find future fame as the husband of Jade Goody, while two of the contestants in the 2011 series were Stephen Bear and Tristan Tate - yes, that Stephen Bear, and that Tristan Tate.
The islands were re-used during 2006 as the location for a US series of Survivor.

The show publicised the hashtag #shipwrecked.
