Yeah I noticed the plastic dividing screens in the cars (like taxis during covid) At least in previous series they at least made it look like they were trying to piece together a faint trail, now it seems like all the clues are too obvious and they go all in sending 3 teams to one address like it's a dead cert, which it is.
Yes it's pish. Each successive series gets more contrived.
Some proper thicko contestants this time as well, as demonstrated when they were trying to get off the IoW...
Driver: "You can take the Cowes ferry"
Contestant: "They transport livestock?"
and another
Local person: "The weather's too bad for boats but you can still take the hovercraft"
Contestant: "What's a hovercraft?"

Exactly. They put out a cry for help on social media asking if you’ve seen this person. “I’ve not but I’ve seen the camera crew and sound man running through a field, does that count”
Surely the crew will have air tags or other forms of tracker. This series has been too full of crap.
Hunters 0.6 mile away from a suspected house. But the hunted could be anywhere.
Same Hunters are at other address 200 mile away on same day. (I know there is heavy editing but ffs at least try a bit)

As with all of these things the 1st series stands above any subsequent series. I recall in the 1st series a retired doctor I think just buggered off to the highlands of Scotland and they couldn't track him down, but he ended up going home as he missed his wife and they nabbed him there. Maybe he was forced to move I dunno.
But since that series it became obvious that a lot of this was staged/contrived, and you have to remember there's cameramen/sound guys with them everywhere so they're not exactly inconspicuous are they?

I think there’s an arrangement that after 7/8pm they are left alone. The film crew must bugger off otherwise they would have to work shifts. No luvvie is going to work more than 8 hours with breaks.
My wife likes it so it’s on at home. Some of the ex Police are complete cock sockets. The bloke in charge said the other day “If we don’t catch them I’m leaving the show”. They didn’t catch them but the tool is still there.

Its amusing to watch but so full of rules to make sure its good TV and completely unrealistic. Someone on an early season published a list of rules and I think it included stuff like not just vanishing into the depths of the country for weeks at a time, making it compulsory to contact/meet up with close family members on certain days (allows the know it all shrink/old policeman leading the hunters to say things like "I think they're about to crack and will need to meet up with family and then it happens).
The other thing that's meant to replicate gov powers is that as soon as one of the hunters goes past a CCTV camera, the crew with them text in their position to HQ so not actively tracked the whole time but tipped off at ever CCTV location.

The new female police person in charge does my head in, she's supposed to hold a senior position in my local force (Cleveland) think it's ranked as the worst performing PF in the UK, currently looking for it's 5th Chief Constable in 6 or 7 years I believe. Watching the way she interacts with the rest of the Hunters in HQ and uses loads of swear words when describing the Hunted or their helpers makes me think that someone high up in the Cleveland Force should have her pulled from the show. As for the rest of the show it's just more reality rubbish IMO.
There must be 100s of derelict places in Shefdfield yet they managed to guess they would be at the ski place, how.
Same as this week, how would they guess the two sister would contact a friends father?
Do they not need warrents to track phone conversations?
I liked the first two series, this one is unbelivable.

I watched some of this in a clip on Gogglebox (one of my favourite programmes). It is utter garbage. Can they legally tap phone conversations? The efforts to raise tension are spectacularly bad. We had two people sneaking into a car, while an apparently invisible chap with a camera recording them. The hunters should probably have gone to Specsavers.
The normally astute viewers on Gogglebox seemed to take it all at face value. Could it be because both programmes are on Channel 4 and they are under orders not to be critical? I know they work under strict rules. They are not allowed to communicate with other people who appear on the programme, for example
