Cast Offs is a BAFTA-nominated comedy-drama mockumentary that follows a group of six disabled people sent to a remote British Island for a fictional reality show.
The series is made up of six episodes, with each episode concentrating on one of the six characters. It follows each character for the year leading up to them being dropped off on the island (other than Carrie's episode, which followed her time after she left the island) and also the happenings on the island when they are left to fend for themselves.{{cite web | url=http://www.elevenfilm.com/film/cast-offs/ | title=Cast Offs | date=3 October 2015 }}{{cite web | url=https://www.curtisbrown.co.uk/news/news-cast-offs-starts-on-channel-4 | title=Curtis Brown }}
