In Ruby Wax Cast Away, the famous comedian channels Tom Hanks in the classic film Cast Away when she strands herself for 10 days on a deserted island off the coast of Madagascar, with only boa constrictors, sand flies and a handheld camera for company.
The two-part Channel 5 series Ruby Wax Cast Away follows Ruby on her solo island adventure (apart from being with her photographer and camera team of course) as she learns to collect rainwater, forage for her own food, cope with extreme loneliness and even survive a terrifying tropical cyclone. But will Ruby find a new sense of freedom alone in her island wilderness, or will the experience break her completely?
