Broadcast
Castaway 2007 was broadcast on BBC One and presented by Danny Wallace, with spin-off shows on BBC Three. The main show was initially 60 minutes long, broadcast each Sunday at 9pm. It was further announced on 11 March 2007 that there would be a spin-off show on weekday evenings called Castaway: The Last 24 Hours. Each show showed the highlights of the previous day and was hosted by Danny Wallace. The spin-off show, Castaway Exposed was broadcast on BBC Three, presented by Richard Bacon.
From 8 April, the show format was changed to three half-hour shows per week at 7pm on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. This was seen by commentators as a way of moving the show out of prime-time, as its viewing figures had halved since the launch episode.
