The Real Swiss Family Robinson

The Real Swiss Family Robinson will take families to far flung corners of the world, to beautiful places most of us can only dream of. Each week will follow a family as they leave their stresses and struggles in credit crunch Britain behind, and immerse themselves in a back to basics life building their own shelters, finding food, and re-evaluating their lives.

Will the simple life without the trappings of modern living offer a better way?
