YjlGnECL3iY

A new real-life thriller in which 14 ordinary people go on the run from a team of expert hunters led by the former Head of Counter Terrorism for City of London Police.

I've seen this advertised a lot recently (on the TV, on trains etc) and it looks quite good!

[zakman440]

This has been brilliant so far tbh (watching on +1)

[T*]

watching, it seems really creepy (how they are looking into everything) and i dont like it

[Babayaro.]

Tonight's episode was brilliant. Ricky Allen is a genius, he'll be incredibly hard to catch

[Amy Jade]

I hope it's on 40D when I go to bed

[Headie]

Love this show, gutted Elizabeth and Sandra from Prized Apart were the first eliminated though </3

This show is a bit similar to Capture that aired on the CW in the U.S.

I liked capture, the british twins lol

[zakman440]

This has actually been brilliant so far :clap1:. A shame that a few of my faves have been captured but it's still held up.

[hijaxers]

Why the hell didn't they ask a neighbour to use their phone :conf:

[Babayaro.]

The final episode was brilliant and the series has been one of the best pieces of TV this year in my opinion. The four fugitives who made it to the end were very likeable also

[JoshBB]

I completely forgot to watch this. Is it worth catching up on?

[Babayaro.]

Yes, go for it. It's brilliant

[zakman440]

It's been recommissioned by Channel 4, with £100,000 of prize money being up for grabs in the second series!

It’s not often that something genuinely original comes to the screen. This is, though.

– Sam Wollaston, The Guardian


Just when you think reality television has nothing left to offer, along comes Hunted to make you think again. – Gerard O’Donovan, The Daily Telegraph


I’m pretty sure Hunted is one of the most innovative and original factual TV concepts in a very long time, and am looking forward to more – Boyd Hilton, heat


Channel 4 today confirmed at its Upfronts 2016 event for the advertising industry that ground-breaking real-life thriller Hunted will return next year. However, for series two it’s not just personal pride on the line. Now there is also £100,000 up for grabs.

The series, produced by Shine TV, will see ordinary Brits leave their life behind and attempt to outwit, outsmart and outrun some of the world’s best hunters for up to 28 days. With former police, intelligence and army personnel on their tail they will know that one false move could lead to the hunters straight to them.

If they can remain uncaptured for 28 days each fugitive will know they could win a share of £100,000 but if they are caught before the hunt ends, they will go home with nothing.

The series will dramatically explore just what it takes to go undetected in Britain – where there are more CCTV cameras per capita than any other European country. With the average person caught on CCTV up to 70 times per day and the possibility of having your phone calls and emails intercepted, the series will task ordinary people discover what it takes to completely disappear – and at what cost.

The first series of Hunted attracted an average of 2.2 million viewers per episode and a 9.3% share on Thursdays at 9pm – up +12% and +14%, respectively, compared with Channel 4’s slot average. The series attracted a young audience, drawing an impressive 20% share of Channel 4’s key demographic of 16-34 year old viewers – outperforming the channel’s slot average by 66%.

Hunted was commissioned by Channel 4’s Head of Formats, Dom Bird, and Head of Documentaries, Nick Mirsky. The series will be produced by Shine TV with executive producers Tim Whitwell and Matt Bennett.

Of the commission Dom Bird said “The first series of Hunted truly caught the nation’s imagination, provoking real debate around the lengths we might go to in order to avoid capture in 21st century Britain. Now, with a life changing sum of money to play for, it gets serious. I can’t wait to see both the fugitives and the hunters raise their game as they battle each other’s wits to emerge triumphant.

Shine’s Kelly Webb Lamb said “Hunted series 1 was a huge and sometimes terrifying undertaking, and we were very proud to pull it off. We’re delighted to be working with C4 again on series 2, and look forward to building on the success of series 1 in new and exciting ways’.

Tim Whitwell added “Hunted is a genuine cross genre hit – a factual thriller - and we’re looking forward to seeing the drama crank up for the next series. Having a prize takes the show to another level. Shine TV specialise in making cutting edge programmes that innovate and push creative boundaries, and we’re proud to be working with C4 again.”

Catching up on episode 2 - never have I wanted a team to be caught more than Hamish and Mikaela!

They come across as quite awful people. "I can't possibly sleep outside in a tent" ... You're on the run darl :rolleyes:

[_Tom_]

Mikaela running off and jumping into the canal when she had already been captured... what a scream! I'm literally crying :laugh2: :laugh2:

I'm hoping the four remaining win - but I am especially rooting for Nick Cummings!

This series has been fantastic, I didn't think it could top last year's but I think it actually has? :clap1:

[zakman440]

Finale on Channel 4 NOW!

Just finished a mega catchup - Nick and Ayo's plots against the hunters were brilliant! A good crop of finalists this time, they'd all make brilliant winners.

[Jack_]

UGH they were two of my faves ffs

If Nick gets caught now axe it

[Jack_]

wow these people are really exposing themselves on national TV aren't they

Make anyone who called the hunters unemployed tbh imo :idc:

[Mitchell]

Loved Nick, wasn't a fan of Ayo at all

[Denver]

[_Tom_]

Just caught the final, what a tense ending - and so happy Nick won - a thoroughly deserved win! I'm sure the experience will give him the confidence boost he needed <3

Celebrity Hunted has finally revealed its full lineup, and we really can't wait to see Gogglebox's Steph and Dom on the run.

The posh pair will be joining another previously confirmed posh pair, Jamie Laing and Spencer Matthews, as well as Anneka Rice, and Jay McGuinness and Siva Kaneswaran from The Wanted.

The celebrity edition of the thrilling cat-and-mouse series is in aid of the channel's Stand Up to Cancer fundraising efforts, and will feature the seven contestants as they try to go off the grid and evade capture.

Celebrity Hunted premieres 10th October

[Withano]

I'm excited for it. Surely c4 havent got the money to keep them on the run for 28 days though? More of a week-thing surely?

I finished watching The Hunted USA the other day, its on 4od. Its just as good.

[Withano]

Its on btw.

[Denver]

Ill watch after Our Girl

[Denver]

Series 3 starts next thursday

[Headie]

Think the whole "ghost agents" thing last episode was BS. Kinda tainted the show for me now by reminding me how rigged it is.

[Babayaro.]

It was pretty much cheating lol. Fair enough, they probably do that irl, but this isn't real life, there's 100K at stake.

Also, what on earth has happened to Magid lol? He hasn't been seen since episode 1. I think this series is probably the weakest out of the three, but it's still enjoyable to watch.

Yeah Twitter was pissed AF about that as well. If you don't have agents within 2 hours of a teams location then bending the rules to catch them instantly isn't really fair, like you said there's 100k at stake.

And yeah I was thinking that too, I read somewhere that the 'Hunters' aka C4 were desperate for all the fugitives to be caught this season, so I'm guessing they're just dragging these episodes out and they'll all be caught by the end of the finale.

[Babayaro.]

I think Alex will evade capture tbh. And perhaps the other pair.

[Babayaro.]

But that's two weeks in a row that they've left it on a 'cliffhanger' when it's so obvious that the person is going to get caught. It feels really cheap.

[Headie]

Yep, I think that's partly the reason why I haven't been that interested by this series. Aside from the first episode, it's been pretty poor and practically everyone has been overlooked in the editing to make airtime for the Father/Son and the guy with the pregnant wife (I haven't bothered to learn names as you can tell :laugh:)

[Babayaro.]

I actually like Alex and Bob lol (father & son). But yeah, everyone else isn't that great. The old lady (carlene i think) was good but she got caught after like an hour welp :skull:

Mess she literally just whipped a wig on and sat on a coach for a couple hours then got caught walking through the high street of Milton Keynes :laugh:

Nnn and trying to set her daughter up with some random American. Bless her.

[Headie]

This is such an underwhelming series. Another episode ending on a "cliffhanger" which obviously ends in capture.

So bored of this now can't lie

[Babayaro.]

Lol I pretty much tweeted exactly that

[Denver]

I think they destroyed it with the secret agents twist

[Denver]

1021396003101036544

[Denver]

Chris & Kem and Aj Pritchard & Louis Smith are also doing it

[Mitchell]

1021396003101036544

****ing keep it

[Headie]

Chris & Kem and Aj Pritchard & Louis Smith are also doing it

Chris & Kem won't last 5 mins, some random teenage girl on Twitter will post a tweet saying "OMG JUST SEEN CHRIS & KEM IN LEWISHAM WITH CAMERAS FOLLOWING THEM #LOVEISLAND" and they'll be located within seconds :laugh:

[Mitchell]

[Jack_]

https://twitter.com/jordanbrfc93/status/1020719909431627777?s=2

Smashed it

lol what a dolt, he's quickly tried to cover for them by saying Brussels but I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to leave the UK so all the hunters will do is find that guy's location :facepalm:

[Morgan.]

Lol "I live in Brussels if the hunters are watching this!"
Bio: Just a northern hero

Mate you're not fooling anyone

[Morgan.]

The hunters have Chris and Kems Social Media and are asking fans to send them pictures of the boys on the run but pretending to be them :laugh2: The fans will be stupid enough to agree I bet

[Headie]

Mess they're gonna miss the Love Island final :skull:

I hope Kem didn't get a paycheck for those official podcasts, swear he was only in like 3 of them :laugh:

[Denver]

I hope they are never found

[Ross.]

Screaming not Kay Burley

[Nicky91]

AJ Pritchard, how would he do at this? i can see him being a very competitive person

[Morgan.]

AJ

Was caught today, I do believe.

[Headie]

Filming has finished now :skull:

1023675751848189953
