50/50 Winner Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Just now, TheScarf said: That was the the doctor wasn't it? He was trolling the Hunters to f**k then just lost his mind and went on a train straight to Euston in the view of god knows how many CCTV camera. Fair enough get on a train, but don't get off at the terminus you fucking imbecile. Problem is, was the pick up site not down south somewhere? Some old airstrip or that? Or am I making that up? Yeah, they had to go to an old airstrip at the end of the 28 days. A difference from the last series is that they all started from the same location rather than their own homes. If I was on the show I'd make sure any device used for planning was hidden/disposed of and I'd be deleting any social media profiles. I would have zero contact with family and friends and head up to the Highlands. I'd go around farms and offer to work there in exchange for food and shelter (moving on every 4 of 5 days). I would avoid using the money until it was time to go to the meeting point. I'd ask a stranger to withdraw the money and get them to buy a train ticket on my behalf then hitchhike to the meeting point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meanmistermustard Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I remember they stuck a ransom on the Doctors head and had radio announcements out, still think he shat himself tho. If on a train don't go to the main terminal right in the heart of London, get off a few stops earlier and find a route thru. Easiest way is piss off up the Highlands, find a few of the dodgy newsagents which are open alll hours to get any messages, and if you want do want company work off your meals etc with some farmer and his sheep. Buy a couple of different train and bus tickets from different stations to make their job harder in tracking you down and then jump in a lorry. Far easier thinking it thru now tho than when you're shitting yourself thinking they are across the street watching you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which IMO makes a bit of a mockery of the show. The real test for the Hunters would be if the contestants all had different extraction points all over the country. Having everyone eventually converging on the one point surely makes it easier for the Hunters? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I recall last season people getting caught out for using ATM transactions. Surely the only sensible option is to take out all of your money right away? Then it's one less way they can find you in the next 28 days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only lift £500 per day, so depending on what your planning to do it may not be enough. Did a guy not go for a pub lunch in the last series even though there were wanted posters up everywhere with his face on it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I haven't seen the show so maybe I'm misunderstanding something basic, but... How can somebody keep a low profile when there's a camera crew following them around? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, there's only one camera person for each 'fugitive' and they have to just follow them about without providing any assistance to either the hunters or the hunted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Longest I have done out in the highlands is 12 nights which involved nipping into Wee villages every third night or so for supplies. It really would be an absolute piece of piss. If I could get to Crianlarich I could be anywhere from Oban to Fort William to Pitlochry on foot in 24 hours and from there Braemar to Knoydart in another 24.

MONKMAN Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Them soldiers were a pair of complete bellends, glad the morons got caught first. The girls have the right idea, just hitch it up and down the country for a month! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Raccoon Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The soldiers and the daft old couple were both far too confident and it was ultimately their downfall. The two girls are incredibly naive to think they could tell people what they're up to without anyone doing a Lee Wallace on them. Don't know what I'd do if two people came chipping my door asking for a lift because they're on the run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Harrowing to see that Tayside is absolutely chock full of Lee Wallaces. That ex-marine and his mate were just shite. The 2 lassies could actually get quite far, they just have to trust that there's no more Lee Wallace types on their journey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The part where they catch them seems a bit OTT. The soldier told them to f**k off Then the hunters actually had to let down the tyres on a car that didn't belong to a person taking part. Can't it just be in the rules that if they find you and stand near you, then the game is up. Pretty pathetic you have to all but arrest them. I assumed the whole point in the show was to prove that it's difficult to go on the run from the state and stay off the radar. Also whilst I'm on my high horse you have to admire how they caught the old couple. All that technology at their disposal and in the end a simple phonecall from the public did the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 What pisses me off is its all in UK so why does it say Perth, Scotland and not Blackpool, England. p***ks.

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Seems like made up, contrived shite to me. A better idea for a programme would be 'Cunted', where a camera crew follows me about every weekend, with running commentary from The_Kincardine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt bad for the young lassies grassed up by a wee warehouse ned for tonic money. The posh c***s I would have turned over for a wham bar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
