Hunted TV Show.

[Tesla]

New series of Hunted started last night on C4.

 

Anyone else watching it.........?

[mowgli82]

Yep...............Can't believe how silly some people are on it though!

 

It's the second series and people still use simple email passwords etc....I wonder how much is staged though!!

[Blue_Cookeh]

I think just about every single aspect of it is staged really...

 

still a fun one to watch though!

I caught the end and thought it was awful CSI style garbage. It all looks fake unless anyone can just tap into council CCTV systems and phone tracking. You'd need some hefty warrants.

I forgot this had started again. I found the last series quite entertaining. Yes of course they don't really have access to CCTV feeds (it says this at the start of the show) and all the rest but I just assume that they simulate it, i.e. if they go into an area with CCTV they consider them as being "seen". Even though it is not exactly "real" it is fairly close to what would be possible.

Saw that article last year. I still think the show as a whole is very exciting and tense to watch. Each to their own I guess. Heard something yesterday about a how it's made, might be worth a look.

Its entertaining, I suppose I was expecting a bit more realism that's all.

ohh I forgot, the last series was a good watch.

 

It is all staged, how do you expect them to hide with a camera crew with them all the time!

i *think* it's about as real as it's allowed to be. I think they do genuinely have to give up there laptops tablets etc (i think its probably written into their contracts etc, so as to make it as close to having a real warrant etc as possible), and it's probably also why they have the £250 that the hunters get notified if it's used etc etc

It's just one bloke with a camera isn't it? *shrugs*

What was that film with Arnie where they had to escape capture? Was it Running Man?

 

Maybe they could spice the programme up a bit

yeh what bugs me is stuff like...... easy passwords, if you're going on the show, you know they will be looking at your devices and emails. i know, i know its all staged but I still find myself shouting at the TV and getting wound up!

Surely from a security perspective it's bonkers to screen such a series. Superb educational material for the ever active terrorists among the community.

I Used to think that too but it's all pretty basic stuff (easy passwords!) I'm sure there's plenty of stuff they know about but don't talk about/use on the show.

I watched last nights too, it was entertaining.

The trailer showed a drone being used, if thats the case then it does prove how daft the show is.

Im applying for it next year.

I thought about this series but I doubt I could get time off when filming if term time.

Not just any old drone, but one with FLIR fitted!

 

Yup, the Meeja people have taken over what could have been a really interesting series.
