The wheezy chubby ginger kid is destined to die. Horribly.

Probably.

I remember reading Lord of the Flies for GCSE English Lit so it's bound to happen.

A disgraceful premise for the subject of a TV programme. My prediction - Channel 4 will have to pull this before it reaches its final episode.

What in God's name goes through the head of programme commissioners these days when thinking up new ideas for TV.

yes

I'm sure it's been done a few times, big mansion in the country, kids let loose and the parents watch the cctv.

There was a pretty good review of the programme in one of the Red Tops, basically went along the lines of "what exactly did they expect children to do in this situation? Cook proper meals and sit round the dinner table discussing politics?"

No doubt they had a part to play. I wonder what the "Appearance Fees" were?

I know a bit about the fees charged for "Celebrity BB" so have an idea of the order of magnitude of such fees.

I reckon they were very small; plenty of 'what a great opportunity for you, Mr and Mrs Pushy Parent, to get your grotty little oik in front of the cameras and launch their career' salesmanship.
