I think the most successful attempt I've seen at staying off radar was a fella a few years back who basically lived under a hedge for the whole time until he cracked and called his daughter (IIRC) which knackered him.

I always wonder how they get caught sometimes. If I could grab my bike, I'd be off. But then again, I wouldn't be starting from home and have to get there.
 
What if you knew someone with their own aircraft, can you leave the country? What about a boat, set sail and hope they can't swim?

Someone did use an aircraft in the last series - but it wasn't so good as they'd tracked the guy to the airfield and could look at the flight plan to see where he was headed (or something similar). Unless he parachutes out - they still know where you are.

Ok so if leaving the country is against the rules. What about getting in a boat, but just sailing around in the UK territorial waters? Do they have to physically catch you?

You have to be physically touched by a hunter rather than actually caught ( they don't want anyone injured in other words). I suspect if you did that the producers would invent a rule to tell you it was against the rules.

I suspect I need my own thread for this but last one > What if you are a cave diver and set off underground, come and get me lol

If my memory serves me right it was BBC2, six o'clock on a Friday night, fantastic.

We've caught up on alot of TV over the festive season.
The Jackal, Redmayne was superb, series got better with each episode.
The latest iteration of All Creatures (watched all the recent series), Samuel West as Siegfried is brilliant.
W&G Christmas special was the best yet.
Just watched 2 episodes of the latest Strike series, building up very nicely.
Almost forgot Professor T & the Chelsea Detective both very enjoyable.

Recently started Grand Designs from the beginning as it's perfect "we'd like to watch something interesting but don't have the capacity to properly concentrate" TV.

Last night we got to one of my favourites, Dean in Dudley near single handedly converting a church which he's wanted to do his whole life. There is so, so much which could go wrong, and the final design has some absolutely brain melting decisions as well as many beautiful ones, yet you're absolutely rooting for him (and his family) the whole way through. His relentless enthusiasm is infectious, and you can tell that Kevin respects what he's managed to pull off.

A notably hilarious highlight is the glorious vista of Dudley from the plastic dome atop the bell tower.

Probably the most famous build because of what a disaster it became lol.

Anyone else watching S2? I enjoyed Ep1 more than the first series. The tone is still a bit all over the place, but seemed to work better than S1.

New maverick anti-hero Paddy gets some great dialogue. Makes up for his almost OVER-authentic Belfast accent :P

I realised in the closing credits that they used a lot less pop music: perhaps they are going for slightly grittier, less pantomime.

We are now watching S2 having enjoyed the first part. The first series was far from perfect with rather too much whooping and hollering and treating it too much as a bit of a lark. Cast and writing is good for all that. 2nd series is a good bit darker with the true horror of war rather more apparent, and perhaps better for that. I particularly Like the relationship between Paddy Mayne and his straight laced superior, which eschews the usual cliches.

Foundation season 1 & 2. It looks stunning and is great at times, sometimes it seems to be made up as they go along.

Going to watch all season 2 of Silo when it's finished, thats better sci-fi than Foundation just imvho.
