Maurice Moss is alive and well and living in Switzerland, but he nearly got eaten in Slovakia.

Telegraph said:
The would-be victim from Switzerland answered an internet advert from the 43-year-old man seeking a person who would agree to be killed, cooked and eaten. He claims he thought the offer was nothing more than a 'macabre fantasy game'.

But after telephone conversations with the unnamed man, he realised he was "deadly serious", he said. He alerted Swiss police who informed their Slovakian counterparts on Monday.

They sent in an undercover officer posing as the victim in a sting operation to catch the suspected cannibal. During the arrest, a gunfight ensued in which the cannibal and a police officer were both injured. A Kysak police spokesman said: "It appears this man was genuinely seeking to eat someone. "His advert said he wanted someone who would agreed to be put to sleep then killed, cut up, cooked and eaten.
"One of our officers and the suspect both suffered gunshot wounds during the arrest and are both being treated in hospital."

hehe wow

I'm looking forward to the new series, I enjoyed series 4 but I couldn't help feeling that the characters were somehow different to those that we came to know in series 1-3. Any idea when in 2011 the new series is due to be on air?

This has happened again? The event in the TV show was actually based on a German who did the same thing!

That has to be one of the best episodes biggrin. Though there are many good ones (my favourite is the theatre trip) but I had no idea it was based on truth eek

Some of the comments on the story are very odd.
