Notes
Ned Sherrin was the host. Anneka Rice and Kenneth Kendall were the contestants. There was a different celebrity skyrunner for each of the three clues.
Ned refers to each skyrunner as “darling” because part of the competition involves Anneka and Kenneth trying to work out who the various skyrunners are from their voices. However at one point during Clue 3, Ned accidentally calls Kenny by his name.
1 Kenny is terrified of being in a helicopter with no door, held in only by his seat belt. At one point he mutters “I just want to get out of this bloody helicopter”.
2 “Link” is the make of camera used in the studio – it’s written in large letters on the side. The treasure is the model helicopter used to denote the position of the real helicopter on the map.
3 The final clue leads to the Treasure Hunt studio at Limehouse Studios. Kenny Lynch runs through the building and into the studio, allowing a few “crossover” shots of Anneka, Kenneth and the studio by Graham’s handheld camera, and of Kenny, Graham and Frank by the studio cameras.
