‘WILD’ COMING SOON TO CHANNEL 5!

Channel 5 has announced ‘WILD’, a new survival dramedy featuring Editing by echo’s Donya Majidi-Maguire BFE, as part of its revived Play for Today strand.

Originally broadcast between 1970 and 1984, Play for Today became one of British television's most influential drama strands. Renowned for its bold, socially conscious storytelling, it introduced audiences to many of the UK's most celebrated single dramas and featured work by acclaimed writers such as Ian McEwan and Dennis Potter, and prominent directors like Ken Loach and Mike Leigh.

Revived by Channel 5 in 2025, the strand continues its legacy of telling original stories rooted in contemporary British life.

Directed by David Blair, ‘WILD’ follows three old friends who set off on their annual camping trip in the Scottish Highlands, where an unsettling turn of events puts their friendship to the test. The film stars Daniel Mays, Joel Fry and Amit Shah.
