Phillip Schofield: Cast Away

Interesting how the few positive reviews dwell upon his unwise relationship or openly say they love him whatever. Personally I think it seems Schofield can be an unpleasant person for whom an unwise move in qeue gate brought his attitude to the fore and started the bus engine. His unwise relationship, which shouldn't be used to cancel him on its own and I don't believe it was, helped him fall not get pushed under the bus.

I realise his personality is not the sole subject of this review but it is highly relevant. Give him a platform to vent and it's impossible to keep up the positive nice guy for the whole ten days plus. The mask slips and we see the narcissist and true person come to the fore feeling aggrieved and victimised by events created by his own hand.

Extremely poor TV as it was netiher dramatic , entertaining nor educating and served only as a soap box.

I don't know who in ch5 thought this was a good idea but they've done no one any favours.

Obviously he wants everyone to think none of his wrong doings are his fault and he had decades of experience of manipulating people. Don't fall for his delusional mindset.

Straight away he's trying to play the victim.

He claims he wanted to set the record straight... but he didn't set anything straight.

He exposes himself embarrassingly, the real victim here is Mathew.. not Schofield.

I don't believe at all that Mathew was of age when Philip was associated with.

He says he made mistakes but I feel like he is only saying that they were "mistakes" because it ruined his career and reputation.

This series is too soon and people should disregard this bad attempt at winning over an audience by manipulating them.

People need to quit with the morality policing and pearl clutching, Schofield did nothing more heinous than having a dalliance with a younger guy at work, so what?! He didn't break the law, he didn't kill anyone, and how was he punished - with pitch forks and torches - driven out of tv - it's bizarre, we seem to love a downfall from success in this country, leaping at any chance to drag folk down - it's actually pretty distasteful. On this program we saw a pretty well rounded guy considering what he's been through , often playful and funny, philosophical and grateful for what he had, I'd be bitter as a an unripe papaya if it were me, tried in the public court of human opinion by idiots like Holmes who on reflection needed to get his own house in order / it might do people to remember the old adage he who is without sin ..

I was flicking through the iPlayer last night and came across Philip Schofield Castaway and started to watch with my wife and actually found it very interesting so much so we watched all 3 episodes. It is very thought provoking and sometimes very funny and sad but whatever we think of Philip Schofield he is not a bad person just his human like all of us and we all make mistakes in our lives don't we.

Keep smiling Philip.

I decided to watch it, in spite of the negative reviews, and feedback from friends and colleagues.

Unlike some here, I was always a fan of Philip Schofield, a very talented interviewer, and someone with a nice guy aura. I was hoping to watch this, and see him put his hand up and say something along the lines of.....I made a mistake, forget anything like that.

All I heard, is woe is me, poor me, I'm the victim, what the man did was categorically wrong, he used his position, his influence to groom, and I'm sorry, but it's just wrong.

45 minutes of why Philip thinks he's innocent, the reality is, it's just way too soon for something along these lines, people have had no time to forget, all this will do, is reignite people's feelings.

Philip, you need a break, and so does the public, this was a massive misfire, and Channel 5 should be ashamed. My sympathy is still with your wife and children.

2/10.
