Narrated by Aussie star Hugo Weaving, it is set to be the hottest reality show since the Hunted.

The format of the show has already had success in versions produced in the UK on Channel 4 and in the US on HBO Max.
Using only primitive tools and wooden logs for building materials, the participants must battle the elements in order to complete their goal.
The twist is that only one person can claim the cash, even though everyone has to muck in to build the bridge.
Each of the contestants have to ask themselves whether they are prepared to share the prize.
A new trailer gives fans a preview of what they can expect.
