Missing wife killer ‘flees to Scotland’

MASSAGE I’m A Celeb, 2004 A GROUP of contestants are marooned on a remote island to find food, water and shelter for themselves, and compete in challenges for rewards and immunity from elimination... Sound familiar?

Survivor was first shown in Sweden and aired in the UK OILED UP Survivor in 2001 for two series on ITV, from 2001 to 2002.

Decades later, in September 2010, came Downton Abbey, which was also hugely popular and bore a strong similarity to the 1970s drama.

Upstairs Downstairs was revived by the BBC in 2010 soon after Downton arrived. But it failed to pose a serious threat, running for just two seasons before being cancelled in 2012.
