These titles get pretty interesting at Series 3/4. Series 3: Around 2:13 they do a nice shot which shows the camera rotating backwards underneath, They try this again in Series 4 at 3:42 where it looks like both land+air are the same, the camera rotates underneath, giving the impression its not even rotated underneath (the resulting imagery from the movement looks the same), I think that looks pretty smart.
@clive9369 Yes Channel 4 did the 8 series which are shown above, but I believe the BBC purchased the rights, and Suzi Perry was the sky runner, but the BBC then cancelled the show without any valid reason.
Ah, great show, the 80's had it fashion disasters!! And the BIG packs Annie had to wear, god love her. Where as today it's all nearly as small as a cigy packet!!
Why did the BBC try to revive a great Channel 4 programme? This should be brought back by Channel 4 but using modern technology! The Internet! The best opening sequence of any TV programme and the music was superb!
@Knappa22 well that depends wether you like bikinis or wet T-shirts Anneka would be great in the bikinis and Annabel in a wet t-shirt but as for the reasant Tresure Hunt sky runner god what was her now? was Ridercroft or Rider-Richardson well what ever is she be great as wonder woman
yeah think it was the last series of it as well. Used to love watching this, wish they would bring it back it's far better than the crappy quiz shows they have now
Thanks so much. Do you have the opening titles from the Suzi Perry series in 2002/2003? The music is trying desperately not to be the original, but isn't quite as good.
How come all the series and episodes I remember were all in the UK, I don't remember any in forign places. I know I was watching them on Channel 4 and not The Family Channel.
Great to see all those intros again and hear the slightly different arrangements of the music. This is one of my favourite TV shows from the past. Thanks for posting!
Does anybody remember Annette Lynton? Annette Lynton was the adjudicator on Treasure Hunt series 2. Kenneth used to call her "Nettie" I thought that she was very quiet and she did not say much. she did not even interact with the contestants or even kenneth or Anneka for that matter.
They decided that they didnt want Annette's services so they asked wincey willis to be new adjudicator from series 3 to series 7.
Yes, she was very much a background character, I think, and was older than her successor Wincey Willis.
I think Wincey had an extrovert, bubbly personality and loved interacting and giggling with the participants. This probably led her to be promoted to co-host in Series 7 :)
I remember Annette's facial expressions that she used. She used to give such dirty looks at kenneth and the contestants, and she was always grumpy and miserable. I wonder what she is doing now? I would love to have dvd copies of treasure hunt series 7.
Annette appeared in Crossroads as a receptionist in the 1970s. I've seen her in some episodes on DVDs, and her character is required to pull dirty faces and sulk... maybe she's not acting at all!
wow i cant belive it that wincey willis is well into her 60's now. Is Kenneth kendal alive and well? I think kenneth must have been in his 60's when filming treasure hunt. Anneka rice is going to be turning 50 in november i think. Anneka Rice looks great for her age. I saw her on tv on hells kitchen and a cooking show that she presented with Andi Peters. Anekka was also on celebrity come dine with me. She even wore one of her treasure hunt jumpsuits they still fit her to this day!!
Poor old Wincey Willis didn't get her name put in the opening credits until the very last series! Annabel Croft was ideal to step into Anneka's jump suit but for some reason they never made any more series which was a real shame.
I know! I loved Wincey on Treasure Hunt when I was a kid in the 80s - loved watching her mapping the route with the arrows and wearing that huge headset with the orange mic! She had a more prominent role in series 7, if I remember, practically co-hosting with Kenneth.
Kenneth could be so grumpy, couldn't he - he used to get cross with the constestants! Wincey was always smiling and laughing though :-)
I always wanted that helicopter Wincey used to use as well, you don't see her on TV these days. Anneka looked great on Hells Kitchen last year though! They really ought to bring this back with Wincey Willis as the presenter.
Can't believe she is in her sixties! Apparently Kenneth Kendall is still alive as well, but he is well into his eighties. When I used to watch this as a kid, I always got him confused with Bob Holness!
They did bring it back a few years ago with Suzy Perry as the skyrunner and Dermot whathisname from ITN but somehow it didnt have the same magic so it didn't last. Anneka is probably a bit old now to be running around in a jumpsuit (although she still looks amazing for her age) and Kenneth Kendall is very old now. But i agree with you - this was a brilliant programme!
used to love this when I was a kid !! brings tears to my eyes!

I think Wincey does local radio in the midlands somewhere now. Google her and you'll get the webpage and a few pics.
She's well into her 60s now. Hard to believe, but she was in her 40s when she did Treasure Hunt.
