Scared of the Dark

2023 · 1 season

A breezy, gimmicky reality watch where minor celebrity banter and mild unease fill the dark rather than genuine dread.

Overview: Danny Dyer hosts as eight celebrities are plunged into complete darkness for eight days. How will Paul Gascoigne, Chris Eubank, Scarlett Moffatt, Nicola Adams and others cope without light?
How it feels: Light, absurd, tense and campy. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Isolation, celebrity, survival, friendship
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
