The show openly admits there are some actors there, but I find it hard to believe that none of them are genuine. The premise of the show is a group of people are told they are being sent to space, and placed in an incredibly realistic simulator for 5 days. The claims against it state the whole programme is a trick on the viewing public…any ideas guys?

There was an article by one of the programme producers in The Guardian recently, which included his admission that they planted some people, but also explained the selection criteria for the victims.
You could argue the article itself could be part of the hoax on us, but I think a national newspaper would be careful to avoid getting egg on their faces by being ****** into it like that, particularly given the controversy about the programme. In addition, the tone of the article was too convincing to my mind - the sense of the producer’s pride in pulling it off, amusement and mischief rang true.
