Hi, this story is from the sun online today:

----------------------
TELLY’S revamped Treasure Hunt is abandoning its British locations — as the BBC spends up to £10million filming in exotic hotspots.

Beeb chiefs plan to send jump-suited presenter Suzi Perry and her helicopter to America, Mexico, Cuba, Fiji and New Zealand.

She will be directed via a satellite link by the UK-based team headed by Dermot Murnaghan.

The move comes even though the show, a new version of Anneka Rice’s 1980s hit, only attracts around 2.5million viewers.

The ten episodes, which follow a pilot series screened before Christmas, will be filmed in February and March.

A BBC spokeswoman said: “We are going abroad to give the show a more exotic feel.”

But telly campaigners Mediawatch-UK said: “This is an unreasonable amount to spend on a show that can be done just as well in the UK.”
-----------------------------

I think that is way to much money for a show that only got 2.5 viewers, but any way it great news to hear that is coming back.
