When ex-Bunny girl Jayne Gaskin spots the desert island of her dreams for sale online, she decides to risk it all. Trading in their English village home, Jayne and her family relocate to their own private paradise, just off the coast of Nicaragua. And a reality TV crew follows them to film a new show, No Going Back. But soon they all discover that paradise has its secrets. The locals claim the island belongs to them, and it’s been sold illegally. Jayne’s not leaving without a fight. A fight that will soon turn deadly.
Hosted by Alice Levine.

Customer Reviews
Intriguing story and always good narration by Alice
My only confusion is the link between Jayne Gaskin and Maria and Frank? - apart from the tenuous link of protecting indigenous people it seems these are two separate stories? - I was hoping Jayne and Maria would be linked in some way and come together at the end of the story but they didn’t. - would love to hear a follow up from Jayne - also a shame we couldn’t hear from her. That being said, I binged the whole thing so it was definitely gripping.
Hard to enjoy
This could have been great, but the many advert disruptions in a short episode completely ruins the flow of the narrative and cuts any feeling of suspense they’re attempting to build. And no, I don’t think we should ever have to pay to go ad-free on this platform.
Could be better and far too many commercials!
