Would they not be easy to spot with a guy with camera next to them on the table?

A lot of it is filmed on phones and Go Pros and who'd look twice at someone carrying one of them these days?

A person hunting someone?

Just watched this for the first time but from 10mins in. What constitutes actual capture? I'm confused, as in the restaurant scene I thought the hunters were clear they'd found their guy but just hovered around, pretending to reserve a table etc l, rather than just walking up to him. What am I missing here?!

I guess they can't arrest them as they aren't police and if they grab them in public the actual police might turn up.

So they're gonna stop everyone with a phone out in a restaurant? Good luck with that.

confusedconfusedyes You read my mind. Bit disappointed really, I was enjoying it up to then, really corny.
It would have taken the hunters just a few seconds to walk round the place and catch them.

I think they triangulated them to the restaurant but hadn't actually spotted them. Maybe the hair thing did have a benefit?
Last series, "capture" seemed to be a sort of pre-agreed point at which it's clear the hunted could be physically restrained by the hunter force if it were real.

If you were doing this wouldn't you bury a load of money.

I know the rules are something like you can only withdraw £100 a week but balls to the rules.

Also everyone must have a idea of where they'd go so surely you'd just be googling false locations maybe going on holiday to false places purely so your social media is full of pictures of wrong locations.

I think if i had to escape i'd go caving and hide out down there.

With £100k at stake I suspect the production company may have something to say about that.

Obviously not but they know roughly who they are looking for and in this case they saw them on CCTV first so 2 blokes looking like a camp Eminem were hardly difficult to spot.

It would be interesting to see the exact ruling , ie you can only withdraw £100 a week from a certain date , if someone else buried the money then i never actually withdrew it.

I'd still head down into one of the cave networks , hardly anyone in this country goes caving so a limited amount of people would have the knowledge.

Password fkwittery never ceases to amaze me.
That screamed bullst to me.

Don't you have to go well out of your way to set a password hint on OSX? And hometown1 for the hint, how very convenient? No worrying about case or whether the number was the word or a digit? Come on! And what was the pleb doing randomly bashing passwords in manually for, as if it was ever going to work, if he hadn't even checked the hint? Amateur hour.

I really want to just relax and watch this programme but the fake aspects, which on some level I accept are necessary for TV, wind me up no end.

Yeah, that was amusing. Does make me wonder what the hunter team have to do to get a capture, I didn't really understand why they didn't just walk up to the guys in the restaurant and tell them they were nicked. Presumably you're not allowed to hit them over the head with an iron bar but there must be a line somewhere.

Live in a cave.......for a month? You'd have to venture out for food at some point and that's when they'd grab you.
Or are you eating batst for four weeks?

Once you knew you were going to be on the show you'd make preparations wouldn't you.

You could just move from one cave system to another grabbing food when you move .

I'd stop there if I were you.

Moving from cave system to cave system - fantastic.

There's a bit of a description on the channel 4 website that says contestants must keep moving during the 'hunting hours' (9 - 5 presumably).

I was only half watching but did I really see the same man crawl through a field in a ghillie suit then decide to bleach his hair peroxide blonde and go for an all you can eat lunch?

There were quite a few farfetched moments but I guess this is always to be expected on TV. The two girls with no plan other than hitchhiking are a complete joke along with the guys who didn't think to practice putting a tent up before they left home.
