...chasing people around and shouting "take me down, Mikey" What was it called? I keep wanting to say "The Equaliser" or "The Terminator" but it wasn't either of those, obviously. Was on ITV in the late 80s IIRC Peej |

Registered 16 years agoI was busy answering the other thread, yeah interceptor
"The Interceptor, too, was able to hijack available transportation, but had his own fleet available to him. The most-used of these was his black-and-yellow Agusta A109 helicopter, piloted by his long-suffering pilot and servant 'Mikey' (played by helicopter pilot Michael Malric-Smith). Also at his disposal was a Maserati Biturbo Spider sports car registration INT 1, and a Kawasaki ZX10 motorbike registration INT 2. There was also a hovercraft apparently available to him, though this was never used."
It really was the coolest game show ever. Ripe for a return i'd say. -

Registered 19 years agoOh that!
I thought you were on about an action series, not a gameshow.

Registered 20 years ago"The most memorable incident of the series will most likely forever be the infamous 'tractor ambush', which occurred in its fifth episode, filmed in Derbyshire. This consisted of the Interceptor pre-empting a contestant's escape by arriving at their sole mode of transportation - a tractor - ahead of them, and bribing its owner to pretend that he worked for him. The contestant boarded the tractor's trailer, still convinced that the Interceptor was still in the trailing helicopter. The tractor rendezvoused with another waiting vehicle, which the contestant concentrated on boarding as well as avoiding the landing helicopter. During this, the Interceptor was able to 'zap' them at point-blank range. This contestant's backpack contained the money, so they would have lost the game, but they lost by default for failing to meet in time."
Sheesh. And people moan about "Deal or no Deal!"
Incidentally, the beeb are making another series of Treasure Hunt y'know...

Registered 20 years agoI fucking loved it.
The music was cool too, a Chopin remix, if i remember correctly.
edit: D'OH! Should have read my link:
"The theme tune was called Rock Revolution, and was composed by Zack Lawrence based on the Revolutionary Etude by Chopin. Unusually, the theme was released as a single (by Break-In Records). The theme tune is available from www.interceptors-lair.com"
