Going Straight was a New Zealand television reality show by Touchdown Television that aired on TV3 in 2003. The show was hosted by New Zealand actor Manu Bennett, where contestants had to continue moving in a straight line, no matter what the obstacles in the way, to compete for prize money of $NZ 10,000.
Format
The format of the show challenged five contestants, wearing location monitoring equipment, to get to the end of a specified "virtual lane" across a landscape by completing three separate straight-line challenges. Contestants were eliminated each round. There was a $10,000 prize for the winner.[1]
Fire stunt controversy
In 2004, an investigation was launched into the programme after a contestant suffered severe burns following a retake of a stunt.[2]
