Whats next....A Game show featuring Russian Roulette...? Not with a whimper ...but a BANG....!!!..... Pushing Escapist Entertainment to the Limit LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's latest reality gameshow started on Tuesday, with 10 contestants battling to escape from a purpose-built prison and win the top prize of 100,000 pounds ($141,000). The 10 inmates are taking part in ``Jailbreak,'' Channel 5's answer to Channel 4's hugely successful ``Big Brother'' show, a voyeuristic gameshow that reaches its climax this Friday. Jailbreak will be shown six days a week for the next three weeks. The inmates, whose ages range from 20 to 51, will be watched by a bank of 35 cameras as they attempt to escape from the jail that has been built in Hertfordshire, north of London. A real former prison governor, Jim Heyes, 62, will manage a team of more than 30 prison officers who will run the prison along the lines of a genuine jail, with alcohol banned and smoking restricted to designated areas.
