Uh, Oh, Say Producers Of New U.K. Reality Show


Also in Britain, producers of a forthcoming reality program, Jailbreak, in which ten contestants have to devise a plan to break out of a prison especially built for the show, were taken aback when a former member of Britain's crack SAS special forces unit did so in a half hour.

Sebastian Scott, the show's executive producer, told the London Daily Record, "I thought, 'Oh, my god, the contestants are going to be out before the end of the first show.'" Producers immediately brought in a locksmith to add twenty more locks and metal workers to fortify the doors and gates.
