Channel 4 has made a new reality show in which chauvinistic men are sent to live in a Caribbean community ruled by women.
Ten male competitors will be picked as personal servants by women "rulers" including an ex-porn star and feminist playwright. Each week they will "sacrifice" one man in exchange for supplies with the last to survive winning £30,000.
Eight hour-long episodes of When Women Rule the World will be fronted by T4 presenter Steve Jones.
Peter Davey, executive producer for September Films, said: "It's a very clever format. Every day it throws up more drama and the hope is the shows look slightly different and have a different tone."
He said it was a development of a Fox format going to air in the US in June. Davey said: "We have changed it quite a lot. We've created more set pieces, which the Americans didn't have."
The UK version has already been filmed in the Dominican Republic and will go to air in peaktime sometime later this year.
