Hunted.

Has anyone ever seen a TV program like this before.

Where 14 UK Citizens attempt to go on the run for 30 days in the U.K and try not to get detected..They just have a few possessions and only about £400 each to get by on. Also they seem not to get much time to have pre prepared....or to have decided what they need to take with them. I think they get about an hour or so notice to get what they can and start to make their escape before the Police call around to their house.

So  far it shows the Hunted fugitives as they set of in in their own chosen transport and what they decide to do along the way and what decisions that they make.


There is a Elite team of the Likes of Specialist counter terrorist Police and ex Secret Service /CIA intelligence analysts who are attempting to monitor them from  a High tech HQ quarters...which has all the latest advanced High Tech equipment to observe all  the surveillance cameras around the Country and they can also monitor all bank and cash phone and internet transactions. 

They can observe ALL the Motorways and many roads in extreme detail. with about 8000 ANPR (Number plate recognition) cameras.

They even seem to be able to get to check cameras on  public transport or at near by drop off locations..

They even send in a specialist Covert team to break into one  of the Fugitives house to search the house for various information..Finding Phone and Laptops and obtaining Internet emails and various passwords to things like ones Facebook account. Also obtaining samples of clothing for sniffer dogs use.



I can envision that this will be quite a task to be able evade and  avoid being captured by the hunters.

I think it is being shown to demonstrate to the public just how much power big Brother now has.

Anyone who sees this in the U.K in next hour can watch it on Channel 4 plus one hour later on channel 13 at midnight.
