Hunted (Channel 4)

Cliffs?

Bunch of randoms get an hour to run after being told they're a fugitive. Some of the best in the world have to find them. They have to evade capture for 28 days. All they get is a debit card with £450, a cameraman to follow them, and whatever they can grab from their place.

I haven't watched it yet so just guessing, but I assume the Debit card is for the tv programme i.e. is easily tracked. Surely irl anyone going on the run would stick to cash

if you was going on the run IRL with one hours notice you might not have that cash lying around so you have to use the ATM at some point and as you are limited as the amount you can take out at a time you need to take out early in the run, ideally at 23:59 then 00:001 so you can take out twice as much
but if it was the cops you were running from they would freeze your bank account

Is this actually good then? I heard about it but just assumed it would be naff and staged...

As Mulhuzz said last week when someone looks up from their computer and announces they've had a hit on the mobile ANPR it's actually a text message from the cameraman. If you can get over that then it's great.

I think the original was called 'Wanted'?

Channel 4 perhaps 12-15 years ago? Me and my mate Lawrence were ALL OVER that show - absolutely loved it. It basically got 'completed' by a couple of blokes that went and lived in a ditch for a month though; don't think it returned after that.

Yeah, pretty much. They tend to withdraw a lump out in one go in the first hour which is expected.

ANPR?

(Advanced?) number plate recognition.

So they know where your car is.

Stayed late in work today to catch up.

Ended up watching the first two episodes thanks to this thread.

Bollocks.

i am struggling to remember the name of it but it reminds me of a show quite a few years ago
where the contestants had to complete tasks every days while being chased then during a live broadcast
where highlights of there day was shown they had to stay in a phone box while the team hunted them down
the public also phoned in clues

got to say i think this new show would have a bit more too it if they had the element of having to preform a task
everyday otherwise just camping out for a couple of weeks would be so easy

even found some poor quailty youtube clips

[titaniumbean]

I watched some yesterday they must be given tasks or rules or some sub set of reasons why they cant just turn their phone off and go camping for a month with the camera man.


I think it's totally fair the way they 'replicate' the concepts of the tools. better that than them waste resources.

Loved the dopey women running in different directions from the police helicopter, idiots  

Shame about the doctor guy considering how cocky he was at the start.

same with the Asian lads who are like we're going to nail it, then minutes later are desperately phoning their families after 20 minutes away

season 2 is being shown at the moment watch episode 1 on catch up think it could be good
