Last season made me laugh with "CCTV footage" from a Northern 142 taken from a moving CCTV camera near the toilet.. lol

Must admit I did get in to Hunted but series 1 was soooo much better than the second!

Well if they try and film on a train which bounces!

Really they should have done some research in to which trains had CCTV then if the fugitive hadn't they might think Northern trains are safe until they get on a 158.

Whilst I'm sure that there's is some element of genuine competition here on the part of the competitors, I didn't watch beyond the first episode. It seemed to me to be so much more synthetic than the first series.

It is a TV show therefore it is staged and managed - it most certainly is not "reality". The Hunters ham it up big time with macho cliches and camera-friendly sound bites. In between takes, they could be sat there drinking tea waiting for the fugitive camera man to phone in, for all we know. As we know, they certainly do not have access to the data they try to "pretend" to claim to.

The glam cars and the use of dodgy Facetime connections instead of a normal phone call is just so obviously an attempt to make it look high tech and dynamic for TV. Unsuccessfully.
