I highly doubt that Vinnie Jones would be in a police car on the Spine Road "ten minutes away" when this happened.   

Also, they film the criminal running down my street.... on the other side of Ashington...

But just had to say this happened on Woodhorn Road outside of Sports Direct / Co-op Building and, if you watch it, the route he takes does make sense. Definitely wasn't Park Road.

http://www.channel5.com/shows/police-int...sode-1-816 - Can see it there for those interested in it, it's on at around 3 mins 30 secs.

Looks like he was on the Spine Road near the Three Horse Shoes by the bridges aswell. I'm not saying it's not staged tho, wouldn't surprise me one bit on channel 5.

I had the same thought, that the program could be staged... I didn't actually think it as I watched the bit with the Arriva Bus incident. However later in the show when they pulled over the Motorbiker for speeding along the A189 Spine Road, they stopped him on the SB Exit slip for Sleekburn & Cambois, I started to wonder... as the Police officer and later Vinnie stood at the kerb edge of the slip road, not one vehicle passed by... then if you watch the program just after the Biker pulls away from Vinnie and the Police officer, (just after the 18 minute mark of the show) if you watch the top of the slip road, there is a car at the top and as the Biker gets to the top, there are another 2 Police officers or 2 guys in Hi-Vis waving him thru. Why would there be another couple of Police officers at the top of the Slip road? Could this just be the end of the scene?
Anyway, if you also took notice of the start credits, it shows Vinnie standing at an RTA, this RTA was on the Sleekburn to Cambois Road, at the top of the same Slip road that was featured with the speeding Biker. This RTA was not shown in the actual show. Now putting two and two together with these two incidents is what set me away thinking was the program staged! Also although there is a fair amount of traffic use this road and slip road, its not actually a busy road and could easily be closed for an hour or so to stage an incident. I'm not 100% sure, but it did make me wonder!
