The Castaway show was supposed to be on again tonight on BBC and wasn't there!

Anybody catch it on another night (besides the marathon last week!).

I love that show!

I caught several episodes in the marathon, until they started repeating them. And I couldn't find last night's episode.

Loved the episodes I caught, although the political correctness implied in having different type people included bothered me a bit. And the notion of getting to carry a steamer trunk full of luxuries definitely soften the burden. And children? Especially the single mom and her kids? I can see the touchy feeliness of having kids, but can she pull her own and her childrens weight, and still take care of them?

True castaway plot would be to take a planeload and a busload of passengers, set em on a deserted island, and come back in a year. Of course that would never be televised.

If you go to BBCAmerica.com, you'll find that they start airing wednesdays, starting next week. And they are only showing the same four episodes, one at a time each week. We won't see the fifth episode until late October. Very disappointing.
