Talk:Treasure Hunt (British game show)

Bogus
I'm surprised the article doesn't mention that this show was completely and utterly bogus. The landings were all planned in advance - there is no way that the helicopter would have been allowed to fly and land wherever it pleased without the relevant permissions from airspace authorities and landowners. --Richardrj 05:47, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * That's nothing. I have reason to believe the clues were planted in certain locations as well! ;-) --Bonalaw 07:54, 24 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks! You've emboldened me to add my point (but not yours; you can do that if you wish) to the article. --Richardrj 09:49, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

This really isn't true you know - helicopters (and other small aircraft flying visually) have great freedom to fly more or less where they like at low altitude over most of the UK. Even in those areas which are controlled airspace, permission is routinely granted over the radio with minimal hassle.

Similarly helicopters can land and take off pretty much anywhere with the permission of the landowner, as long as it's safe and otherwise complies with the rules of the air. (If a site is used for less than 28 days in a year for landings/takeoffs it doesn't even need planning permission).

See http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?categoryid=7&pagetype=90&pageid=769 for a brief intro from the CAA on this.

Although scheduled airliners etc are very strictly controlled and monitored for their entire journey, a huge number of so-called general aviation flights operate under far more relaxed rules, particularly in visual flight conditions where the pilot is trusted and able to see hazards and react to them without relying on air traffic control.

Whats going on
i added a section about a classic moment where the presenter had tinitus and got distracted during the show. it was on points of view the next evening, someone had written in saying " i tuned in to watch anneka rice, not some old geezer's personal problems". the moment was mocked on comedey shows around the country.

why was this deleted?


 * You'd have to find a good source, e.g. from the archives of a major national newspaper, or something like the IMDB. And even then it would have to be notable; if Wikipedia did not have a notability standard, it would be easy for people suffing with logorrhoea to fatten up the article with lots of things that are true and accurate but non-noteworthy (e.g. the exact running times of each episode, exact airdates, the different colours of Anneka Rice's jumpsuits). Even if this event could be sourced, it might not necessarily be worth mentioning. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 23:02, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
