Tracking James May across Dartmoor BBC2

[Mick w.]

I saw a few of those 'Mantracker' programmes, thought they were ok until I suddenly thought "perhaps they can see the camera crew..."
Or did they do it differently, some kind of mini-cam with the fugitives or something?

I quite liked that ~ not caught the show before.


Mind you, I wouldn't pay the person who explained how to use grid references in peanuts :yikes:

W 5401 and N 6703 is not 54 'and a tenth' 67 'and a third'.

Well perhaps they paid with peanuts? .... That pool table was fantastic!! I want it lol

According to an interview that was done for Haliburton County Horsemen's Association, the camera crew has him stop to prove where he sees tracks, and also has at times sent out false Prey and production staff to prevent him from just looking for the actual camera crew. Additionally, the Prey's camera crew often change footwear, and are expert woodsmen who often mask their presence in various ways.
