Naked Jungle (2000 TV Special)
8/10
Funny little show
29 July 2006
A lot of people whom view this show particularly judge it as a piece of pure unadulterated trash, unfairly in my opinion. British game show networks are known for being original, and I thought the idea of nudists performing tasks based upon a popular children's game show at the time was a decent concept. I can say I myself do support nudism (not as much as I practice it, however), and the show never particularly tries to be exploitative.

It's just a fun one-off show that has a good time with itself. The games themselves are benign yet the contestants and Chegwin himself make it enjoyable. Contestants rarely ever perform tasks that relate to nudism (finding fig leaves, but that's pretty much it). Dismiss it as terrible television, but American television has really deemed nudism in a negative light (Surreal Life anyone?) and it is refreshing to watch a show that makes it normal and fun to watch.

Just don't watch it with the kids, ya hear?
