Keith Thompson, the pilot, said the show's producers rang him up and asked him if he could land a helicopter on the hull of a submarine. He said he could thinking the Royal Navy would never grant permission for such a stunt. But they did...
ahh, anneka rice... anyway, the lovely ms rice and helicopters aside (imagine what chartering a jet ranger cost in the 80's!!),but a camera man AND a sound engineer! And check out the battery packs!! Just think you could film this on your mobile now, and it'd be better quality!! (ok,maybe not!)
My fave episode ever as it was from my home city. Think it's the only time "Castle Air" actually get a mention. They are based 20 or so miles away in Cornwall so it was all local ground for them.
Just been looking at old videos and what did i find, all of season 6 of treasure hunt which i had taped so next priority will be to get them transferred on to the pc so i can upload them on to here.
Thank you so much for this wonderful episode of Treasure Hunt, I used to adore the show for the lovely Annika and the programme showing the grandure of the british countryside.
plus I just been in Cinderella at the Theatre Royal Plymouth!!
I am desperately trying to find an episode of Treasure Hunt that has my husband as a child on it. Only detail I have is that it was in Bolton Town centre and a teddy bears picnic. Can anyone help me ?????
I watched this avidly on a thursday evening on C4. Why oh WHY did they not do an episode here in Teesside? or anyhwhere in the great north east of England?
Actually they did do two in the North East of England. There was one in series 5 based in Northumberland, and one in series 6 based in County Durham, which included Gateshead.
Loved the programme when it was on. I was young at the time and did not have a clue as to what the puzzles meant or how they came to the answers but I just liked the places they went to and of course Anneka's bum and body shape in a tight suit was influential in a young teenagers life. SEXY ANNEKA :P
i remember seeing treasure hunt for the first time when i was 9 years old back in 1995, i was watching challenge tv on cable and treasure hunt came on and i watched it and i loved it.
anneka rice is a lovely person, very funny and entertaining. i am a huge fan of the show even though it was origionaly on in the 1980's. i love the theme tune too.
I listen to Plymouth Sound (I'm currently at Marjon in my third year) it's the local radio station (Plymouth isn't actually my home town, normally live in Windsor).
excellent! how many episodes have you got? I'll look forward to seeing future episodes on youtube, as I was too young being born in 1992 to see any of these episodes when they were originally broadcast. Thanks for this video.
I wish they would start a new series :(

@pulsar46 Sadly they won't bring great stuff like this back. Nowadays C4 prefers to cater for the chavs and produce cheap trash like Big brother etc.

Great clip. Those were the days before TV became dumbed down. I always liked seeing other parts of the country. And those jump suits.
