Channel 4 Launches: The Search, With Jamie Theakston

The Search is a new seven-part global treasure hunt entertainment series. Presented by Jamie Theakston, the series will follow ten bright contestants as they battle against each other to crack fiendish codes and unravel ancient mysteries around the world.

From Renaissance Italy to the wild jungles of Central America; from the Taj Mahal in India to ancient Egyptian tombs that have never been filmed before; each show takes viewers to stunning and surprising locations across Italy, France, India, Egypt, Peru and Mexico.

On their quest the intrepid treasure hunters will uncover the Grail Trail, the hiding places of medieval heretics, the secret of the lost Inca gold and the legacy of Egyptian Kings. In each new location the contestants will decipher exciting codes and puzzles, from the Fibonacci code to the hieroglyphics on Ramese III’s cartouche.

The Search contestants include experts in the fields of art, art history, science and architecture, but are they up to this challenge and who will win? In each show one of The Search contestants is eliminated from the adventure. It’s up to their fellow contestants to decide who will go home, by the handing round of a “poison chalice”. The remaining four contestants complete their journey back in the UK for the final show of the series, as they battle it out to win the grand prize: £50,000 in buried gold.

The Search locations are Italy (show 1), France (show 2), India (show 3), Egypt (show 4), Guatemala (show 5), Peru (show 6) and the United Kingdom (show 7).
