Hunted Down!

Our local dairy farmer & councillor, Andrew Frampton together with his friend, Robin Goodfellow, almost managed to evade capture for 21 days and win a share of a £100,000 jackpot! The final episode aired last night (Monday 3rd) and has had many of us holding our breath as situations intensified.

Andrew, who was repeatedly shown in the opening credits saying “Should have done Bake Off!” together with his frend, Robin evaded Chief, Ray Howard and his team while mocking them at the same time, leading the Chief to comment they had “all the charm of a prostate exam!

Andrew & Robin on the Thames.

Robin Goodfellow was hunted down in the penultimate episode which ended with Chief Ray saying “Without Robin, Andrew is no Batman“.

Unfortunately, Andrew was caught at a service station near Bromley en route to his home where he had to go to collect his extraction details. Chief Ray said to AndrewYou’ve given us a very good run. Hats off to you.  Full respect.”  He also commented that the programmes’ psychologist had taken early retirement! 😀

Well done to both Andrew & Robin! See you in Bake Off?

Andrew Frampton & Robin Goodfellow To Be Hunted!

Starts Sunday, 12th October at 9pm Channel 4…

Local Dairy Farmer, Andrew Frampton* together with Bridport agricultural electrician, Robin Goodfellow are on our TV sets this month in the latest series of Hunted, C4’s flagship adventure show.

Andrew and Robin pair up as a pair of “Fugutives” in the hit Channel 4 show now, in its 8th series. There objective is simple: Stay on the run for 21 days avoiding detection from an elite team of detectives, cyber experts,special forces and ex police ground hunters who have the unlimited powers of the state such as CCTV, ANPR and drones to try and locate them as well as 6 other Fugutive pairs.

They leave Stanstead airport at the launch then have to survive by the kindness of strangers for lifts,food and money while they must survive for 3 weeks until they have to reach an extraction point and a share in the £100,000 prize money with any Fugutives who make it successfully .
The hunters have a squad of 7 pairs of ground hunters patrolling the country and two drone units and helicopter, while a team of 20 detectives in London look into their networks, phones and devices looking for clues as to who the Fugutives may use for help .

There are a series of undisclosed challenges the Fugutives have to complete each week and day to stop them just bunkering down in a cellar for three weeks and so it’s becomes a more level playing field for the hunters to discover clues as to the Fugutives whereabouts. A team of 2 camera men follow each Fugutive pair recording all their movements and actions and report them to an independent referee based in Channel 4’s Hunter HQ.
Every camera the trip, message they send and journey they take are all logged and if the Hunters work out there are in a certain area through their investigations then they would then be given the footage or information about the Fugutives movements but only if they have done the work.

The programme lasts for 8 episodes and airs every Sunday and Monday night at 9pm from October 12th on Channel 4.

We wish them both the best of luck! 🙂
