Is anybody else enjoying the repeats of this 80s game show on
Challenege TV? For anyone who hasn't seen it consisted of
two contestants being dropped in the middle of the countryside
and having to meet up with each other while being chased by the
Interceptor in his helicopter.
What made the show so great was the fact that the guy who was
the Interceptor played the the part as an OTT pantomime villain,
with his amusing banter with the helicopter pilot and his hawk
like screeching. Apparently they only made eight episodes which
is a shame as it was a great show, but I guess it must have
been expensive to make, plus it relied on the vagaries of
the British weather.
Watching it also reminded me of some of the similar tracking
type game shows like Lost (not the US series) and Wanted and
it's a shame that someone doesn't revive one of these TV formats.
