Naked Jungle
Naked Jungle was a one-off television game show produced by the United Kingdom terrestrial TV station Channel 5 in 2000. In itself a fairly innocuous gameshow with an assault course format, it was controversial because its contestants were all nudists. The programme's presenter, Keith Chegwin, was also naked. The full-frontal scenes of genitalia (including Chegwin himself) caused a furore in the national media, especially in the Daily Mail, which described the show as having "plumbed new depths [of indecency on television]". The show also attracted criticism in the House of Commons.[1] No follow-up programmes were made.
The programme was made by the same producers as CITV's Jungle Run, and used the same set as well as following the same format.
A video of Naked Jungle was released by Universal Home Entertainment in late 2000.
