00:00 To be famous is the best thing in life really.
00:03 Around the millennium we were all wanting to be part of reality TV.
00:07 We can start it.
00:10 I was on the lookout for something.
00:12 An invention?
00:14 New reality TV show seeks contestants.
00:17 And I thought, wow!
00:20 It was going to be the next big thing but bigger.
00:24 £100,000 for a year.
00:28 All of a sudden the dream is actually happening.
00:31 It allowed our imagination to run wild.
00:33 And then quite quickly I thought, something's not quite right here.
00:38 Oh God!
00:41 Everything was very mysterious.
00:43 It's not a production company.
00:45 We realised we were being used as skinny pigs from day one.
00:48 None of it existed.
00:51 This guy, Nick Russian.
00:53 Nikita Russian.
00:55 Nikita Russian.
00:58 Always a shadowy figure in the background.
01:01 Was the producer.
01:03 He wasn't the person I thought he was.
01:06 I was just wondering, who are you?
01:10 Nick Russian wasn't a real TV producer.
01:13 I'd love to know what his real name is.
01:15 He was encouraging people to give up their jobs, their homes.
01:19 I remember John, he was saying, I'm going to go in there, I'm going to kill that Nick.
01:22 We never learnt the why behind all of this.
01:25 He was there and then he wasn't.
01:27 People do leave a trail. I want to find him.
01:30 Nick?
01:33 I'd never meant to do anybody any harm.
