Hunted

Promises Mean Nothing to a Woman

Attach the series to a jersey and lift it to the rafters, as there is a brand new Chief in town and she's leading the UK's worst-performing police force...and also Cleveland. Over the last three weeks, three people working on bridging the North-South divide - Michael, Anthony & Michelle have returned to recap the hunt for eleven new fugitives who are spread out all over the UK in a quest to escape capture and win a share of £100,000 - concluding with the final two episodes, capture of Abi, Grace & James and escape of Nathan & Sarah.
In this episode - we discuss our respective weeks for once, Michael hates to be smug, we draw attention to friend of the podcast Rob's video, a Hunter does an AMA, some monkeying with the timeline is finally spotted, the answer to a query we had last week is given (by a fugitive!), Michelle learns about onion rings, Anthony is disappointed when someone gets a confessional, we go behind the curtain to reveal how the radio interviews work, history repeats itself for Karl, Michelle has questions about the Angel of the North, there's a big old First World Problem, the public get a rare bit of praise, the editors forget to disguise the Overt Agent, there's a live rewatch as Michelle needs to hear an insult, Anthony loses touch with the common man (must be very nice), Michael explains how the Hunters got a boat, we reveal the rule for extraction, there's some insider information about what Nathan may have done with his share of the winnings, we debate if there's a chance we'll be covering Hunted Australia and Michelle is asked to say something nice for once about the Chief.
