Possibly the TV event of the year (and boy what a year it has been already for TV fans like so many on this board) starts tonight at 9pm on C5. Phil Schofields shot at redemption and his right of reply after being cancelled as he attempts to survive for 10 days on his own on a desert island. Promises to be absolutely fascinating, as the former much loved national treasure licks his wounds and begins his comeback. The Guardian and The Independent just two newspapers doing a live watchalong.

Cast Away review – Phillip Schofield is an incredibly bitter man (but he sure knows how to entertain)

He licks his wounds. He mocks Holly Willoughby. And he seems to view himself as a folk hero. But when the disgraced presenter actually gets down to the business of survival, it makes for tremendous TV

Phillip Schofield's Cast Away could be the biggest TV misjudgement

By far the most entertainment to be had from last night's episode of Cast Away (C5) was imagining the meeting which persuaded Phillip Schofield that it was a good idea to take part.

The most talentless, over-promoted person since Liz Truss.

Once again, it’s worth pointing out that Channel 5 wants you to believe that the really meaty stuff – all the Col Kurtz moments where Schofield torches his legacy to the ground – are in the two episodes yet to come. But, honestly, who has time? Sadly, the truth is that most people care a lot less about Phillip Schofield’s career than Phillip Schofield would like.

I cannot think of a more self deserved over bearing plum, that's going to get all that's coming to him!

I’m torn as to what watch-a-lon to follow, might have to be a multi device night, f***ing chaos (again)

I read some of his quotes in a review and boy does he sound bitter, mainly because he was called out on his behaviour by people who he thought were his friends.

Prince Andrew levels of humility and self-awareness. Could be fun.

Surprised that C5 spaffed up the cash for this ? Can only be for the few old diehard daytime TV viewers that are Team Schofield....I really have no interest in hearing " My Story "

I expect he probably funded it himself - no one in their right mind would put this twat on the telly any more.

Can't imagine whacking a guy on a desert island for 10 days would have a big overhead. Buy some go-pros and a return flight to the Maldives and you're basically set.

Health and Safety, insurance and would advertisers buy the slots seeing as Schofield is damaged goods ?

I was hoping he'd be signed up to do road trip with Big Ron Atkinson, exploring the UK's forgotten seaside resorts like Skeggy, Weston Super Mare, and Southend, while discussing how it's possible to be as a big a **** in the modern world as it was to me a massive **** back in the day when you could grab someone's arse while simultaneously calling them a ****** **** ****.

Unless he’s taken Gordon the Gopher with him, I won’t be watching.
I always believed Gordon was the more talented of the two, and nothing since has changed my opinion.

Having said that, I confess I have never knowingly watched a single minute of Good Morning Britain.

Do you mean Crodo? I totally agree if so.

I think that's a bit unfair. Children's television star back in day, West End musicals and host of ITV daytime.

By any standards he has had a very good career until it exploded.

I'd prefer the Tom Hanks version.
