Extreme survival series Alive continues with new stories about human endurance against the odds, from the producers of the award-winning Touching the Void . Combining first-hand testimonies of survivors with dramatic reconstruction, Alive relives the extraordinary experiences of real people facing terrible dilemmas in order to survive. Tonight two divers are stranded at sea after currents carry them away from their boat. Can they survive before they’re taken by the sea, or the sharks?

Played like an ‘open water’ rip off.
Though with added footage of great white to try and hype up the risk factor - pretty darn rare in the solomons…
Hammerheads? Pfaf - where is an oceanic white tip when you need one?
More worringly the actors looked more credible than the ‘real’ survivors.
So, did this really happen?
