Ten reality show contestants have come to the end of a year-long stint in a remote part of the Scottish Highlands, only to discover that the programme they were making hasn’t been screened for the last seven months.

Eden was launched by Channel 4 in a blaze of publicity last year as a new kind of reality show (albeit similar in tone to Castaway, broadcast in 2000), with 23 participants who signed up to live in Cul na Croise Bay, in Ardnamurchan in the Scottish Highlands, with the aim to build a self-sufficient community in complete isolation.

Looks like someone forgot to tell Milton he was let go, and they just fixed the glitch.

Makes me wonder if they ever told the Utopia cast that their show was canceled? Or if they are still chilling out in California celebrating shorty shorts Sunday.

Should have just set up cameras in the bathroom areas and charge people to watch on the internet.

Reminds me of an old Norm McDonald skit where a neighbor dressed in a Satan mask tells his other neighbor to kill his family. And when he does, the neighbor pulls off his mask and says," I was just kidding! " Bad joke!

Without reading the article...were their camera men following them around?

Did they know and not saying anything? Were the camera people still getting paid?

From the article, the contestants did the filming themselves, along with some fixed cameras.

Something doesn't add up here. The Scottish highlands aren't that remote, and they must have had some human contact. My guess is that after the show was cancelled, the producers continued on in hopes of salvaging something out of their investment.
