Hunted UK

In the first factual-thriller for British television, 14 British citizens are given fugitive status and go on the run. For up to 28 days they must evade capture from some of the world's best investigators. Leading the hunt is Chief Brett Lovegrove, former Head of Counter-Terrorism for the City of London Police. Their first fugitive is Dr Ricky Allen, a GP living in Kent.

In this second instalment we meet two new fugitives, Harinder and Davinder Singh, two Sikh brothers from Leicester. Aware that Asian men with beards and backpacks are a terrorist stereotype, the brothers travel the UK staying mostly within their community of extended family and friends. But the pain of separation from their loved ones quickly starts to bite.

In episode three, Dr Ricky Allen, a Kent GP, has been on the run for 15 days. After turning the tables on the hunters, Ricky now comes under extreme pressure from his adversaries. Former undercover detective Peter Bleksley launches a concerted media campaign to flush him out of the Scottish Highlands.

In this fourth episode friends, Stephen Hardiker and Martin Cole make their escape using canal towpaths to travel almost 100 miles on foot and by bicycle to a caravan in Wales. As they make the physically gruelling journey West, IT manager Martin comes up with an ingenious way to stay in touch with their loved ones, but will the cyber team in HQ be able to crack their code?

In this fifth episode, we meet newlyweds Adam and Emma Channell who want one last adventure before they begin a family. Their plan is to head off-grid in some of Britain's most remote rural areas - the Yorkshire Dales and deepest Wales - but as paranoia kicks in and they start to jump at every car that passes, the married couple finds the pressure increasingly difficult to cope with.

In this dramatic final episode the last remaining fugitives must reach a pre-arranged 'extraction point' from where they must flee the country to avoid capture and end their time on the run. But with 7 days to go the hunters are ramping up their efforts to find them.
