The global treasure hunt entertainment series continues. Presented by Jamie Theakston, The Search follows a group of bright contestants as they battle against each other to crack fiendish codes and unravel ancient mysteries around the world. The contestants are battling it out to win the grand prize at the end of the series: £50,000 in buried treasure.

Having eliminated one of their fellow contestants last week in France, the seven remaining contestants continue on their quest in Rajasthan, India. They explore the magnificence of the Taj Mahal, where they must seek out the elusive pink spy to solve the mystery of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who built the Taj as a mausoleum for his wife. The Emperor was deposed by his son and imprisoned in the next location, the impregnable Agra Fort.

The Search contestants then travel south to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, where they must learn the ways of eastern astrology at the Jantar Mantar, the biggest observatory in the world. Eventually they reach the opulent Lake Palace in Udaipur, where the focus shifts to religion and the 300 million Hindu Gods. The Search explorers are the first people to be allowed to film at the Holy Temples of Eklingi, which date back to the eighth century. Here the group must understand how Hinduism was conceived if they are to crack the final code and win the race for the symbol.

The winning team survive for another week but the losers must play the Poisoned Chalice and eliminate one of their own.

The third episode of The Search airs on Channel 4 at 8pm on 21/01/2007
