| Result |
The contestants won the treasure |
| Notes |
| ● |
Ned Sherrin was the host. |
| ● |
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 on the map of the real helicopter. |
| 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 camera
and of Kenny, Graham and Frank by the studio cameras. |
