Apocalypse

If the world as we know it came to an end, what would you do? Our modern world exists on a knife edge, but if the worst happened, the fight for survival won't be in jungles, forests or desert islands. It'll be in the towns and cities we call home. In this bold and ambitious social experiment, Channel 4 is sending a group of ordinary people to a jaw dropping, real world location - an abandoned town that bears all the hallmarks of being ravaged by an apocalyptic event. They'll have to survive for 28 days without running water, heating, or electricity. They'll need to scavenge for food and supplies, reusing and repurposing anything they find but only if they can muster skills and wherewithal to do it. Nothing here comes easy, and in the face of scarce resources will this unlikely group of strangers band together or fall apart?
