Saskatchewan team of three ready for spotlight

Oct 16, 2014 | 6:13 AM

It is unlikely they are going to become the next big thing in Hollywood but there is a lot to be excited about if you are a team of three from Saskatchewan.

Greg Johnson, Chris Chittick, and Ricky Forbes (otherwise known as the Tornado Hunters) are providing you an inside look into what they do on a daily basis.

Their new show Tornado Hunters debuts on October 26 at 8:00 p.m. Saskatchewan time on CMT.

“It’s not a half hour of just adrenaline, adrenaline, adrenaline,” said Johnson. “What they’re (the audience) going to get is a little bit of humour.”

It is standard for most shows to capture a certain amount of footage and Johnson was surprised by how much work is involved.

“We probably shot, and I’m not even exaggerating, probably 100 to 200 minutes of footage for every 30 seconds or minute of actual TV time.”

Johnson calls this experience the thrill of a lifetime.

The show is guaranteed at least two episodes, and depending on how successful it is, a full season could be announced soon.

Fans of Johnson and his team got a sneak peak at the two episodes on Wednesday at the Science Centre.
