Robinson 1997

Overview

Expedition Robinson is a Swedish reality television program centered on contestants placed in survival situations. The format of the series was developed in 1994 by Charlie Parsons for the United Kingdom production company Planet 24. While the format originated in the United Kingdom, the 1997 Swedish broadcast of the program served as the first production to reach television. The structure of the show involves a voting process that eliminates one participant during each episode. This cycle of elimination continues until a final winner is determined. The program is recognized for establishing the survival reality television format that has since been adapted in various forms. The provided sources regarding real estate management, helicopter manufacturing, metal fabrication, logistics, and industrial fan production do not pertain to the television series Robinson. Therefore, the historical record of the program remains defined by its initial development by Planet 24 and its successful 1997 debut in Sweden, which marked the first time the survival competition format was aired for a television audience.
