This was the first “Treasure Hunt” to feature Wincey as adjudicator. |
| ● |
As usual, the cameraman was Graham Berry and the video engineer
was Frank Meyburgh, but the local helicopter was flown by Gadi Lahberg (instead
of Keith Thompson). |

The contestants were slow solving this clue, so the helicopter
wasted a lot of time circling Mount Herodion. The pilot prompted Anneka to find
out where the contestants wanted him to go:
| Anneka: |
We must have a decision chaps. We can’t just fly round
Mount Herodion all day... |
| Liz: |
You might have to fly round it all programme! |
| Anneka: |
Oh, that’d be interesting – we’ve never done that before
on a Treasure Hunt. |
| Liz: |
Well, we only wanted to win £50 anyway. |
| Anneka: |
Kenneth, do you think we should head to Jerusalem? |
| Kenneth: |
I thought you were already going there. |
| Anneka: |
NO! They just wanted us to circle! The rules are: we’re
not allowed to move until the contestants tell US, so... Let’s head to
Jerusalem... |
