The nine contestants in a Channel 4 reality TV show aimed at tricking them into thinking they have been launched into space have been unveiled.

Space Cadets involves the group being told they are to visit space thanks to a Russian tourism agency.

The group, aged between 19 and 28, include a student, a call centre worker and an electrician. Contestants have been picked for their suggestibility.

Channel 4 admitted the joke could be on them if the participants cotton on.

Unbeknown to the contestants, the shuttle will be a Hollywood creation, made originally for the Clint Eastwood film Space Cowboys.





god, some people are thick

[Adam]

Ha. Silly boy..

[David]

looking good so far.

[DC]

Will it get repeated?
I was too busy watching the Man U game, i made the wrong descision.

[Mafro]

I see they have the obligatory reality TV gay among the contestants (overly camp, annoying, attention seeking tosser).

[Ickle Angel]

I thought it looked dull but maybe takes a bit of getting into

[Mafro]

hopefully it will get better once it gets going.

[parody number 9]

Thats Michael Vaughen love.

Dont call me 'love' please.

[Walter Sobchak]

Even though they did go to a lot of trouble setting it up, the end result of the first program seemed to be lacking, I think it's because we are used to reality TV programs that show people (contestants?) going in, followed by footage of them in situ, I think the next couple of shows should be an improvement.

[iSeb]

Just saw the repeats on e4, I thought it was genius! Can't wait for tonight!

[Sidders]

Dont call me 'love' please.

Calm down dear.

[Adam]

Dont call me 'love' please.

Calm down dear.

Yeah m'darling.

[David]

Even if this is all a joke on us, that piece of TV there with the animal lecture is one of the funniest things I've watched all year.

Congratulations C4.

WHOA! Tell me I was seeing things............

Theirs a guy on the blood donor advert that looks exactly like the scot who got left on the bus because his name wasn't on the list!

So it got me thinking to some possible options;

Maybe we are all being conned and they are all actors
Maybe the Blood donor and the scot are doppelgangers
Maybe its his twin brother
Maybe it is him, and an actor friend who got the gig, tipped him off and he applied, and got on (That would be my favourite, Hoaxing the Hoaxers!)

Maybe your just very suggestive from hearing moyles saying it could be a huge hoax on us?...

I heard chris briefly mention it may be a hoax, and I heard the caller on the satellite show ask if it was, but I do have to wonder now I've seen a 'contestant' on a TV advert, and if I question anything that is told to me as an absolute fact, when there is a possibility of it being purely fiction, I don't think that meansi am suggestive

[Jono]

Perhaps he just saved Gordon Rasmey's life with blood?

[fish heads]

There are 3 actors in there anyway aren't there? Haven't seen the show, but have they revealed which 3 they are?

[Walter Sobchak]

From what I understand, because of things like the Data protection act, and the NHS patient protection order, a donor would have to remain secret to a patient that has his/her blood, so they would need to use actors.But I could be wrong
