Channel 4's The Heist | Documentary

[@officialbackintheday]

This was a very intruiging show back in the mid 2000s, and after rewatching it, I just had to make a video about it! I hope you all enjoy, and if you are enjoying the kind of content I'm putting out, a little subscribe would go a long way :) Thanks everyone!

This was peak Channel 4 programming. Beautiful. Thanks for the revisit.

I don’t know how I missed this one. Channel 4 didn’t half make some memorable programmes in the early 2000s and this would have caught my attention for sure. Great documentary, as ever.

Thanks!

These nostalgia trips have been great. This sounds like something I would have watched tat the time and I probably did, I'm just struggling to actually have memories of it.

Along with The Real Hustle, this was a pretty good show at showing what clever social programming can be done to very criminal effect. I liked it and, so thanks for reminding me of it. I

Thanks for watching!

I don’t remember this but it definitely sounds interesting

[@the50ftnerd98]

I've never heard of this show, but it looks very interesting. Clearly this was Channel 4's attempt at cashing in on the "glamour" of organised crime that BBC1 were perpetrating with Hustle, which was a great show. BTW, would you consider doing a video on Wanted? It was also on Channel 4 and was a precurser to Hunted that we have now, teams of trackers hunting down contestants each week during a live show where they call from a Phone Box into the studio. Limited by technology contraints, and very different between series 1 and 2 but it was a great show not enough people knew about

[@officialbackintheday]

I absolutely loved Wanted! I haven't been able to find good quality copies of the videos of the episodes though. :(

@@officialbackintheday I remember uploading my own rips of my own VHS recordings of series 2 to torrent sites many, many years ago. As for if they are still out there I don’t know. I didn’t have series 1 sadly, and have no idea where my discs of series 2 would be

Very good so I subscribed and thumbs up

Thanks a lot!

Not gonna lie I thought this was something to do with Derren Brown to start with lol Though man It's a shame I missed this as this would have been something I would have totally would have loved had I seen it when it was aired

[@Zomerset]

Yes! Derren Brown was my first thought, too.😅

[@Ali1986Koksal]

Would you consider doing a mini documentary about "The Real Hustle" that aired on the BBC during the mid to late 2000's?

[@officialbackintheday]

Absolutely yea! I loved that show!

[@HoldenMagroin2]

I remember this show.. was brilliant.. didn't they steal a tvr

[@TheBeird]

Doesn’t seem like my kind of thing but an interesting video regardless. Weird too because this era of tv seems like it was yesterday. Not in that wistful nostalgic way, but in a “oh God what do you mean a decade ago?” way.

[@Charlieb82]

Two decades ago..... 🙉

MrBeast’s internal document for employees just leaked and it’s well worth a read for KZbinrs like yourself. I’d love to see this channel grow
