IBTV scores a hit with new reality show

Sun May 10, 2026 2:16 pm

Mainstream broadcaster IBTV has a hit on its hands with its new reality show that uses the latest time travel techniques to confine a group of famous philosophers in a modernist designed house for 8 weeks.

During the first episode we watched Descartes conclude that everything is ultimately real, insisting that he must exist because something has to exist in order to do that questioning, sitting in a big plush armchair and smoking. Plato meanwhile, after a brief tryst with Schrodinger in the hot-tub, repeated his assertion of two realms of reality, physical and spiritual - forcibly trying to convince his housemates (and the viewing public) of the imperfection of the physical realm waving a half-empty bottle of white wine at the hidden cameras.

As we've come to expect, Neitzsche put a minor downer on the episode by denying everything, insisting its all wrong and generally just being a dick about it all, but thankfully was the first to be voted out by his other housemates.

Expect fireworks in next week's public vote as Socrates goes up against Russell in the weekly 'trial' to earn extra food for the house.
