Sarah says: "It's not very thrilling"

"Ten pairs of people rob a van in Thirsk, and attempt to pull off the heist. If they manage to nick the £250,000 between the 10 pairs, and keep it for two weeks, they get to keep it. If they don't, it's unclear what happens to them.

"It's very similar to Hunted from Channel 4.

"It's not very thrilling.

"They claim they've got a crack team of top detectives - do they not have something better to do? If they don't find these people, then what faith are we supposed to have in the police force?

"I don't know whether the entertainment value of this outweighs the boring value. To some extent, we'd all like that adrenaline rush of doing something naughty that we're not supposed to do.

"They all cram into cars, their dads are their getaway drivers which is hilarious. 

"To me, it's just not that exciting. It's just daft. It's more exciting for them than it is for the viewer."

Scott says: "It is completely and utterly silly"

"I loved the silly ambition of this show. It is completely and utterly silly.

"They have a meeting before they go and do the robbery where they all collectively decide not to leave any evidence - as if it's something you choose to do.

"Then someone says 'this is a real life Italian job' - but this isn't real life either.

"There are two detectives, one called Craig, one called David - which is so weird.

"I liked the entertainment value - I'm totally laughing at it, because nobody is that good. It has that Apprentice-style feeling, where you have that sense of superiority where you think how you would have robbed it, or which tree you'd hide up.

"I got an adrenaline rush - there was one bit where they tried to shove everything into the swag bag. But someone realises they've forgotten the bag."

The Heist airs on Sky One & Now TV on 9 November 2018.

Must Watch is 5 Live's TV review on Afternoon Edition every Monday from 15:00.
