Cast Offs
Six disabled people. 90 days. One barren island. Will they survive?
A controversial and highly provocative comedy drama series. As the Cast Offs struggle with island life, we learn about each of the characters through flashbacks to the year leading up to their marooning. The show follows their hardships as they grow their own food, fall in love and fight to survive. The stories are brutally honest, poignant and darkly comic, offering a fresh insight into the lives of disabled people in the UK today.
Written by rising star Jack Thorne (Shameless, Skins, Scouting Book For Boys) with Tony Roche (The Thick Of It, In The Loop) and Alex Bulmer (Hunchback of Notre Dame, R4).
