Thursday, 31 May, 2001, 12:40 GMT 13:40 UK Series 7's deadly reality
Grim reality: Cameras follow the contestants everywhere
With reality TV shows reaching saturation point, Series 7: The Contenders couldn't have been better timed.
Essentially a Big Brother or Survivor with guns, it bears all the classic hallmarks of a reality show: dramatic voiceovers, repetitive trailers, and wobbly cameras.
But amid all the explicit violence runs a rich vein of black humour.
Pregnant Dawn (Brooke Smith) hunts down her next victim
Six ordinary people are chosen at random to take part in a reality TV show where the mission is to kill or be killed.
Reigning champion Dawn (Brooke Smith) is eight months pregnant and determined to win for the sake of her unborn child.
But things don't go to plan when she has to kill Jeff (Glenn Fitzgerald), an ex-lover dying of cancer.
Daniel Minahan, the writer and director of Series 7, explains the inspiration behind his reality TV spoof, which opens in the UK on Friday 1 June.

What is a "Series 7"?
It's a marathon of episodes from the 7th season of a television show called The Contenders. We came to the title Series 7 after much deliberation. I liked it immediately: it sets a tone that's menacing, sexy, mysterious. What came before? What happens next? Stay tuned.
It was a combination of the TV format and feature film screenwriting, a hybrid of two very different disciplines.

I havent seen it yet but when I heard about it I was very interested.
Just surfing channels I found an interview about it, and I thought that it was a new reality TV show where they really did try to kill each other.
Thankfully it was only a movie! But what worried me was that the Jerry Springer producer or something said that we would like to make something like Series 7 one day... *shudder*.
