Celebs go on the run for Stand Up To Cancer. They are:
- Jamie Laing and Spencer Matthews from Made in Chelsea.
- Jay Macguiness and Siva Kaneswaren from ironically titled pop band The Wanted.
- Steph and Dom from Gogglebox.
- AND! Anneka Rice from Treasure Hunt!
They’ll be trying to evade capture for 14 days, doing all sorts of things that come across as stupid because of unfair secret production rules we are not privy to. But this time… for charity!
We’ve tried so hard to get into Hunted. Perhaps this will be the ‘in’ I’m after. Let us know what you think in the comments.
A third civilian run has been filmed and will apparently be going out in the new year.
Well… I’ve heard of Anneka Rice at least.
Haven’t watched it as I was out last night, but did 2.4m apparently which would be half a mill up on Celebrity Bear Grylls was getting IIRC, albeit without Doctor Foster as competition.
Can you watch it on Catchup, then? I wanna know what you think.
Loved the first series – had a classic reality TV vibe about it. The second didn’t hit the mark for me but the first episode of this was great – well cast and having the Made in Chelsea guys with connections just offered something a bit new. Steph and Dom were great value and Anneka Rice running around ticks the nostalgia box.
Format wise though for a future series do think it would be interesting to see the Hunters try and track down the huntees using old school methods rather than relying on all the technology at their disposal.
First episode of this consolidated to 3.1m. One episode is not a trend, but crikey.
A second series of this started yesterday, a good cause (and that’s just getting Kay Burley off TV for a few days!) but boy does the heavily scripted format feel like it has worn very thin now!
