Race Across the World 11:17 - Mar 16 with 1585 viewsclive_baker

BBC.

Away from the stresses of coronavirus, is anyone watching this? I love it as a premise for a programme, really enjoyed series 1 and loving this one too. Basically 5 pairs all start at the same point in central America, and have to race to Ushuaia (phenomenal place by the way, went a couple of years back) in the southern tip of Argentina. They're given a budget the equivalent of the air far, but they can't take a plane. They also have no phones and no internet access, just a map. They've basically got to hustle their way along the journey.

The mother & son are my favourite, what a relationship they have.
Not warming to the girl with the deaf husband, she's a bit annoying.
Brother & sister are OK, he's a nob but she's quite fit.
Uncle & nephew are OK too.

Anyone else watching it?

Yeah I’m watching it too as I caught a few bits of the first series, it is quite an interesting look into how different people approach things and how straining it can be on a relationship when you have nothing but your own instincts and initiative to go on.

I agree on the mother son as being very endearing, they would do anything for each other whereas the brother sister combo, they obviously haven’t spend]t so much tome together for some time and are looking at this as a way to bond, I suspect it will either make or break their sibling bond although he is a bit of a knob though.

Husband and wife, she is very annoying

The first series was great and the concept is excellent.

Some of the contestants this series are rather annoying though.

Michael Palin's version of around the world in 80 days is still available through the iPlayer, a much more rewarding programme to watch.

Up and mainly down, following Town since 88

A friend of mine wanted me to apply with her to go on it, I think I’d have murdered her within half a day so glad we didn’t.

You definitely should next season! Wear a selection of retro town tops throughout it :)

That would have made great tv, though a life sentence in a Mexican jail may not be what you had in mind for the next few years!

Unless you have absolutely no knowledge of geography they wouldn't have accepted you.

It's quite amazing how little the teams know about the world but it's clearly designed that way.

It’s a cracking program.
Sad news about the ex forces guy losing the money but not sure his partners heart was really in it.
The mother/son combo really are special, I’d love to see them win it.

About 10 minutes before the guy lost his money, I said to my son that his partner was starting to get her act together and I would put my money on them to win the race.
That went well for them.
Great program, have to doubt they will start filming for the next season anytime soon though.

A chap at work wanted me and him to do this (or hunted). We decided we couldn't be away from work that long, Oh how things have changed!!

My wife questioned whether they were looking to bail out of the competition and it was a put up job!
