I've never seen any of these and get a bit bored with 'survivalism' - each trying to outdo the other in something gruesome. So I was quite amused to find that most of his stunts are just that - most of the programmes are faked. But it's an interesting point - is there
anything on televison which isn't faked if necessary?
