In the new Channel 4 show, The Simpler Life, 24 strangers from across the UK come together to leave the modern world behind and embrace a much more simplistic lifestyle. The strangers will all live together on a farm and have to fend for themselves with limited trips to the shops and no electricity or modern technology.
Beginning tonight, March, 22, the first episode shows the strangers embarking on their new life. They are not allowed to take in any personal belongings and are given a very limited food cupboard to live from which included canned potatoes, chickpeas, and eggs.
Two contestants in particular struggled to adapt to this new life and Toby dramatically quit the process after walking six hours across fields and villages to reach a train station to go home. Toby began to struggle when Penny became upset after clashing with other members in the community in the shop over what to buy.
