DIARY: Stories we could tell ... No sex please, we're from Hong Kong

<p>Newly-married couples, cast away on a tropical hideaway, happily </p><p>facing up to the challenges which newly-married couples cast away on a </p><p>tropical hideaway routinely face. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>If that conjures up images of lust under the palm trees a la Temptation </p><p>Island, hold that naughty thought. Before your imagination gets the </p><p>better of you, it's Diary's duty to inform you that this reality series </p><p>has been produced by none other than Hong Kong's very own TVB. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>About the only thing wild about it is apparently the title - Wild </p><p>Castaway - and the wild life on Queensland, where the show was filmed. </p><p>If Temptation Island was "the show that shocked America", Wild Castaway </p><p>will be the show to watch with the kids, with its wild life lessons and </p><p>survival challenges, culminating in a wedding banquet. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>In other words, it's shorthand for: "No sex please, we're Hong Kong." </p><p>Not a big surprise really. If condom manufacturer Durex is spot on with </p><p>the findings of its sex survey, shagging is way down on Hong Kong's </p><p>to-do list. Doesn't bode well for Wild Castaway especially since Star </p><p>World will be launching "the show that shocked America" - with four </p><p>couples on an island overrun with 32 hot singles. Still, why does Diary </p><p>feel that the only thing that will sizzle this month are the ratings. </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
