FunTranscript
00:00This is mad.
00:02At a time where young and old have never been further apart...
00:06I'm going the wrong way.
00:07...six young Brits who have never travelled alone before...
00:10Nothing like Wales.
00:12...are being paired up with six pensioners who thought they would never travel again.
00:16You're my team mate!
00:18...to embark on an epic treasure hunt across Japan.
00:21Oh yes!
00:22Bloody hell, this is going to be hard.
00:24...in a social experiment to challenge assumptions...
00:28...and prove that age is just a number.
00:31She's a bit too old.
00:32I beg your pardon?
00:34...they will need to work together as one.
00:36Colin, you're amazing!
00:38...following clues across the country, they'll take on challenges...
00:42Oh my God!
00:43Jesus Christ!
00:44Mingo!
00:45...combining their experience and strengths...
00:48You're right, it's just like riding a bike.
00:50...to win coins.
00:51Goodbye!
00:52I'm baking like a baked potato.
00:54...collect the most coins and they will walk away...
00:56...with a life-changing cash prize.
00:5950 grand guys!
01:0050 grand!
01:01I've never seen that amount in my life!
01:04...come two generations...
01:06I love you so much Tony!
01:08...worlds apart...
01:09Why do you know that?
01:10TikTok!
01:11...but with so much to offer each other...
01:13I've never taken a selfie in my life.
01:15Really?
01:16...bridge the gap...
01:17What?
01:18She's like the older version of me.
01:19...and work as one.
01:21I can't do that!
01:22Give me up!
01:23Give me up!
01:24What is this game?
01:25Money isn't everything...
01:27...but...
01:28...winning could change her life for the better...
01:31...and I really want that for her.
01:38Tokyo, the capital of Japan.
01:41The world's most populated city...
01:44...and home to over 37 million people.
01:49Making their first steps in this swarming metropolis...
01:52...are six young Brits.
01:54Never eat shredded wheat.
01:57I've only lived in my little area for 25 years.
02:00I haven't seen outside the Swansea...
02:02...nothing like this is completely different.
02:05Well, I'm left, so I'm going with the left vibes.
02:07Let's go!
02:08Sorry!
02:09Sorry!
02:10How many countries have you been to?
02:12One!
02:14Spain.
02:15Went with my mum.
02:19Head west to your yogi park.
02:21Look for a place to go if you're caught short.
02:24They're all following clues on an electronic guide.
02:27There's signs.
02:28They're in Japanese.
02:30That will lead them to a pin identifying the location of their challenges.
02:35I have no idea where I'm going.
02:38Every task they face will test them on their general knowledge.
02:42Half of everything I've never seen in my life before.
02:44As well as their skills of observation.
02:47There's a temple!
02:48So they'll need to take in their surroundings.
02:51I've never seen this many people.
02:53To look out for clues to help them win coins.
02:59But the first treasure they'll have to find is their new team mates.
03:03Six pensioners who are all patiently waiting to be picked up.
03:08And unaware of who they're about to be paired with.
03:11Well, I can't believe that I'm going to be 70.
03:13I don't know what 70 is supposed to feel like, but I don't feel like it.
03:17Now, is this shot here?
03:20Or down here as well?
03:21Here?
03:22It's from like here.
03:23Oh.
03:24Yeah, so I'll prop these up as though I've got them.
03:27As though I've got me a bra on and I haven't.
03:31If I see an opportunity, I'll grab it.
03:34Every time I get a chance to do something, a new experience, go for it.
03:40I'm looking forward to meeting my partner.
03:42I hope we're going to have a lot of fun together.
03:44But it's a strange situation not knowing who you're going to meet.
03:53Closest to hunting down his senior team mate is Lawrence,
03:56a 24-year-old HR apprentice.
03:59I'm sorry.
04:01Do you know Yogi Park?
04:03Oh.
04:05Thank you, thank you.
04:06I'm going the wrong way.
04:07I need to head back this way, the way I've just come.
04:10It's so different to anything I've been doing.
04:12You know, I've been stuck in an office on a nine-to-five for the last three years
04:15and prior to that, it's like little trips here and there.
04:18I have no idea where to go.
04:20The notification said, look for a place to go if you're caught short.
04:25Well...
04:26Maybe it's like fishing.
04:30Waiting for Lawrence is 68-year-old widow Rosie.
04:35Push.
04:36That's not too difficult.
04:37We can do that.
04:39What do we do now?
04:41Oh, that's clever.
04:44I need my partner to be super intelligent, because I'm not.
04:49Super fit, because I'm not.
04:53I see tennis court, so maybe if I'm caught short, I think I may have got here, guys, possibly,
04:59but I can't see a question mark anywhere.
05:02Travelling, for me, it means that I can get to speak to people, because I sit at home in my bungalow,
05:11and I don't actually physically talk to somebody for a week, maybe two weeks at a time.
05:16Hi there, are you my teammate, maybe?
05:19I'm Rosie.
05:20Nice to meet you, Lawrence.
05:21Oh, what's your name?
05:22Can I give you a hug?
05:23Yes, I am.
05:25Lawrence.
05:26Yeah, nice to meet you.
05:27Oh, how lovely.
05:28Sit down, Lawrence.
05:29Oh, it's lovely to finally meet you.
05:31I was actually looking for somebody my age.
05:33Oh, no, wait, so I thought you was here with maybe, like, a child or a grandchild,
05:36perhaps, like, completely unsure, but I got a clue telling me to go to Yoyogi Park
05:43and a place to go if I'm caught short.
05:45I had no idea.
05:46I was thinking, like, tennis courts or football, maybe, but...
05:49Caught short, toilet.
05:50Ah, wow.
05:51Aha!
05:52See?
05:53It's clicked.
05:54They're, like, see-through.
05:55I wasn't very academic in school.
05:56Yeah, go ahead.
05:57Let's go see.
05:58Do you want to try...
05:59Hold on to this, and I'll run in.
06:00My mum would be, like, dropping me to school, and I wouldn't be going to school.
06:04I would be at the skate park all afternoon.
06:06What do I do?
06:07Use the lock.
06:11Whoa!
06:12That's crazy!
06:14I'm definitely, like, playing catch-up or, like, trying to get on top of what I'm missing
06:19out on so much as a kid, in a way.
06:21Ah, it's just pinged off again.
06:23Oh, okay.
06:24Go to Chuo.
06:25Chuo?
06:26You were looking for a temple to technology.
06:29Technology?
06:30Technology?
06:31No idea what that could be.
06:32I've got confidence in you, Lawrence.
06:34Likewise.
06:35Let's go.
06:36It's not what I expected.
06:38I expected somebody of a similar age to me.
06:41Shall we go?
06:42But he's a lovely man, and I'm really happy that we've been paired together.
06:46I've learnt something today, for sure.
06:48Caught yourself short means you need to go to the toilet, which, to be honest, to me,
06:52I never knew that.
06:53So, you know, every day is a learning day.
06:55Fingers crossed we find it.
06:56Searching for her senior teammate is 18-year-old Emma.
07:03If I had the opportunity, I definitely would have travelled more.
07:06But being in Canada has definitely helped me back for travelling, because you've got to
07:10go through so many people just to go anywhere.
07:12Like, if I went missing even for a day, they would call the police, like, straight away.
07:16Waiting to be found is 69-year-old Tony, a retired doctor.
07:23My life has changed in the last few years.
07:25Sadly, my marriage came to an end, so I am now making a new life and meeting new people.
07:32And travelling is part of that.
07:34And having this opportunity says to me, life is to be lived.
07:38Hello.
07:39Hello.
07:40We meet at last.
07:41We meet at last.
07:42How are you?
07:43Yes, absolutely.
07:44Lovely to meet you.
07:45Lovely to meet you.
07:46You are?
07:47And Emma.
07:48And I'm Tony.
07:49Hi, Tony.
07:50From Manchester.
07:51Manchester.
07:52Blackpool.
07:53We're both together for life.
07:54First impression is that he's a very lovely person.
07:57He's not what I expected, so I'm hoping that he knows the stuff that I don't know.
08:02Oh!
08:03Shall we see what we've got?
08:04Yeah, go on.
08:05Welcome to Japan.
08:06Here are some rules to live by.
08:08Like all of the teams, they've been given a device to help them navigate their journey
08:13in Japan.
08:14Be prepared to bow a lot.
08:17She's a great personality and she's very enthusiastic, so I hope that she can bring us the success
08:22that we were looking for.
08:24Find the Hagiwara building in Ebizu.
08:28Get ready for a meal to remember.
08:30To remember.
08:31Wow.
08:32Oh, okay, so we're eating.
08:33So, is it that way or is it that way?
08:35I'm going to say left.
08:36Go on, let's go.
08:37Let's go for left.
08:40Excuse me.
08:41Hi.
08:42Excuse me.
08:43Excuse me.
08:44Do you, um...
08:45Ah.
08:46We'll try again.
08:47Everyone's in a rush, everyone's busy.
08:48They're all very friendly.
08:49Someone who, um...
08:51Isn't off to work.
08:53Whenever I've got my mind of something, I'll definitely push for it and do every single
08:56route that I possibly can to get to it.
08:59Excuse me.
09:00Excuse me.
09:01Excuse me.
09:02Parupu.
09:05But I've never been here before and I can't speak Japanese either.
09:08Konnichiwa.
09:09Probably that's it.
09:10I'm pretty sure that means hello.
09:11Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure it does.
09:14We have to find this place.
09:15We don't know how to pronounce it.
09:17Maybe.
09:18Tuwa?
09:19Tuwa, it's not the name of the city.
09:21Okay.
09:22Genuinely, as soon as I step out the door, I'm lost really, you know?
09:25So...
09:26I think no matter where I am, I'm going to be lost.
09:28You speak English?
09:29Yeah.
09:30Go straight and turn...
09:31Yeah, left.
09:32Lift.
09:33Thank you so much.
09:34Arigato.
09:36You are here.
09:37Yeah.
09:38And I guess we have to find a...
09:40Temple.
09:41Don't know about what you think, but to me, a temple to technology says an apple store.
09:47Ah.
09:48Now that is a good idea.
09:50I was thinking an actual temple.
09:54I think it's round to the left.
09:56Oh, yeah.
09:57On the other side of town, first to find their challenge destination are Tony and Emma.
10:02Well.
10:03It's right there.
10:04The key to success for this pair will be found in a nine-course tasting menu, served
10:09up in traditional Japanese crockery.
10:11Oh, that's cool.
10:12Yeah.
10:13Minazuki tofu, served in a kabachi bowl.
10:16So they'll need to pay close attention to everything they're presented with...
10:20Japanese sake.
10:22...throughout the meal.
10:23I'm guessing that's the cup you're going to drink at all.
10:25Cheers.
10:26Cheers.
10:27So how are you feeling about being so far away from home?
10:30You know what?
10:31I haven't really had a home, if that makes sense, like a place to call mine.
10:36So I don't know how I feel about missing home.
10:38And I grew up in foster care.
10:40So when I was eight, I went into care for the first time.
10:44I don't really know why I went into care, because it kind of all just happened, like the police
10:49were there, got put in a car, and then I was in a random stranger's house for Christmas.
10:54It was all a lot.
10:56My mum was a single mum, it was just her and us.
10:59So if, like, she didn't really know how to handle it all, like trying to get a job,
11:04but also having to be with us all the time.
11:06I had to look after my siblings when she was at work.
11:09So it was a lot in that sense.
11:11But I would say that was probably a little bit of the reason why we're into care.
11:15Were you well looked after?
11:17I actually had a male carer called Tony.
11:19Oh, right.
11:20And then I had a carer called Mark, who you remind me quite a lot of, actually.
11:24I moved around quite a lot.
11:26And how did that affect you?
11:28I feel like they didn't get to know me enough.
11:31I needed that family moment of just getting to grow up and being looked after for a little while.
11:38I'm sure that whole experience must have been extremely difficult, tough for you.
11:46Talk about us coming from completely different worlds,
11:50meeting somebody who's come up through foster care and the breakup of her family and everything.
11:58And I think she's amazingly resilient as a result of it.
12:02And I feel deeply for her that, you know, she's got that to contend with.
12:06So I'm feeling much more motivated now towards wanting to do well.
12:11Oh!
12:12Can you find...
12:13Can you find the fine following swamic dishes in the flea market?
12:16So wait a minute. These are things we've just eaten.
12:18All right, so we need to move on.
12:20We need to find the flea market.
12:21With most of the young Brits still struggling to hunt down their teammates...
12:28Where the bloody hell is this place?
12:31Like a technology store?
12:33Rosie and Lawrence have tracked down their pin at a supersized electronics store.
12:38Now this looks like a technology store.
12:41In a city renowned for its electronic innovation.
12:44Now that's good.
12:45Yeah.
12:46That's good.
12:47Perfect.
12:48It's giving my legs a little bit of a cuddle.
12:51The pair will need to combine their knowledge of technology in their first task.
12:56Yeah, honestly.
12:57And more.
12:58I see.
12:59Ah!
13:00Ah!
13:01Oh!
13:02There's so many of them!
13:03Can you match the device to the year it was first released?
13:07For each correct match you will receive a coin.
13:10Rosie and Lawrence will need to use their years of experience to match five different
13:14Japanese electronic devices to the year they were released.
13:18And that's actually quite difficult.
13:21There's the pioneering Game Boy.
13:24Canon's first 35mm compact camera.
13:28The Tamagotchi Virtual Pet.
13:30Sony's first portable CD player.
13:33And the Nintendo Wii.
13:35Age might come into play here possibly.
13:37What do you think?
13:39I can't see that my age would help in this game.
13:42Because I have no idea.
13:44I wouldn't know the years for sure.
13:46I wouldn't want my partner to be indecisive because I'm like really indecisive myself.
13:50So I think if like they didn't know and I didn't know, we'll just be stood there lost like completely.
13:54So, yeah.
13:55Hopefully someone is good at making decisions.
13:57Erm.
13:58Game Boy.
13:59So it could be one of them two maybe?
14:07I think this might be where we're supposed to be.
14:09Yeah, you think?
14:10Oh my God.
14:11It's hard.
14:12Six miles away at the Shibuya Market, Tony and Emma are hunting out ceramic dishes from their nine course tasting menu.
14:20This is so hard, isn't it?
14:22Yeah.
14:23We didn't pay enough attention, did we?
14:25Each item they correctly identify will help them secure their stay in Japan.
14:30And their chance of winning a life-changing prize.
14:34Wait.
14:35This is the bowl that we had the chicken soup in?
14:37Yes.
14:38I think we're happy with that, aren't we?
14:39100% happy with that.
14:40It was deep, it was thick.
14:41I am very competitive.
14:44If I lose, I hate life.
14:47I wanna, I always wanna be the winner of everything.
14:50I at least don't wanna be the first person eliminated.
14:53That's it.
14:54That's all I'm asking for.
14:55I'm stressed.
14:56Like, it's actually making me itch.
14:58I think the sake came in something like that.
15:02I would say if they wanted the sake, it would be this one.
15:05I honestly don't know.
15:08I wish I'd paid more attention to the menu,
15:11because I'm realising that what we're being asked to look for
15:14is the crockery that was used, but I don't want to go home.
15:20You wasn't even born in these years, were you?
15:23No.
15:24Not even 2006?
15:252006, I was.
15:26Oh, you were born in 2000?
15:27I was born in 2000, so...
15:28So that's the only one that's in your lifetime?
15:30I can definitely say, yeah.
15:31Back in the tech store,
15:32Rosie and Lawrence are still trying to work out
15:35which year each electronic item was released.
15:37Yeah.
15:38Cameras have been around longer than all of this.
15:40Oh, yeah, that's it.
15:41So camera here.
15:42Just like Tony and Emma,
15:44every successful answer will help extend their journey in Japan
15:47and bring them closer to the £50,000 prize.
15:53If I was to win the money,
15:55it would be life-changing, you know?
15:57That's, like, most people's yearly salary.
16:00And this Tamawachi thing...
16:02My daughter was born in 1975.
16:0685.
16:07So she'd be 14.
16:09Right, so I think most are the other way around.
16:11Which would make swap over.
16:12For every item they've correctly paired with its year of release,
16:15they will earn a coin.
16:17I mean, I'm happy with this, if you're happy with this.
16:19I'm happy with this.
16:20The team with the least amount of coins
16:22at the end of each city challenge
16:24will be eliminated from the competition.
16:26PHONE RINGS
16:30Correct.
16:31That was clever.
16:35OK.
16:36Oh, that's all.
16:37OK.
16:38Oh, let's...
16:39This is you.
16:41Ah.
16:42And this is you.
16:44And this is you.
16:45And this is you.
16:46Oh.
16:47OK.
16:48I think it was the Tamawachi thing that I couldn't see my daughter
16:53being 21 and having one of those.
16:55I still can't see that.
16:57We could have had three coins, you know?
16:59And we slipped up on the last one with, like, the Tamagotchi.
17:02The fact we got two, like, it is quite saddening in a way, you know?
17:05Like, we could be going home tomorrow effectively,
17:07but I guess what can we do, you know?
17:10The next one we will smash it for sure.
17:12Yes.
17:13100%.
17:14Definitely.
17:15100%.
17:16Ah.
17:17This wasn't the...
17:18This is what we had.
17:19I know, but it doesn't usually rest inside.
17:21It's usually a tight seal and that's kind of just...
17:23No, it didn't.
17:24It did.
17:25Right.
17:26But that could be an option.
17:27Back at the flea market, Tony and Emma are trying to remember
17:30the dishes they were served lunch in at the local restaurant.
17:34I'm excited, but I'm also very nervous.
17:36But I can't tell if that's my stomach because of the eating
17:38or if I'm actually nervous.
17:40I'm baking like a baked potato.
17:42Do you want to lock in the sake?
17:44Do you?
17:45I think so.
17:46OK.
17:47Can we get this, please?
17:48OK.
17:51Right.
17:52I'm not feeling supremely confident that if we've scored
17:55maybe three out of the five,
17:57that I think we'll stand a chance of staying in.
18:01Well, that's one.
18:03We did it.
18:04This is so nerve-wracking.
18:06Oh, my God.
18:11No.
18:12No.
18:13No.
18:14Oh, no.
18:16Panicking now.
18:18We scored two out of five and I know that we both feel
18:22disappointed.
18:23I think on the positive side, we made the decisions jointly,
18:26but we're still here and we hope that we're not in the bottom
18:29one.
18:33We're still here.
18:34Thanks.
18:35We'll be back.
18:36We're still here.
18:37We're still here, we're still here.
18:38Yeah.
18:39In the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, Japan,
18:42a treasure hunt to win a £50,000 cash prize has already begun.
18:50Stop!
18:51To win challenges, teammates who have never met before
18:53and are from vastly different generations
18:55will have to work together as one
18:57and share their knowledge to complete each task.
19:01My ideal partner would be...
19:04Someone who has a sense of humour.
19:07Intelligent.
19:08They have to have a good work ethic.
19:13A fit gay man.
19:17Do you know where your yogi park is?
19:21Searching for her senior teammate is Katie,
19:24a 21-year-old from Warrington.
19:27The main reason I haven't travelled is because of money.
19:30I think because I grew up with not a lot of money,
19:33I like to know that I've got enough to keep me going.
19:35It's a question mark.
19:37That is what I'm looking for.
19:39I am a community support worker.
19:42I'm working with older people.
19:44I absolutely love my job.
19:46They're so lovely as well.
19:48I'm very honest.
19:49Obviously, there's people passing away,
19:51but you get to experience a piece of them before it happens.
19:55Waiting to be found in the centre of the city
20:01is 80-year-old widow Barbara.
20:05This is the first time I've travelled alone.
20:08I love getting out and about,
20:12but the thing that I miss is when I come back,
20:17there's no-one there at home to tell, you know,
20:20where I've been, what I've done.
20:22I was married for 47 years,
20:27and Colin and I loved travel.
20:31Since Colin has passed,
20:34my children have said to me,
20:36why don't you try travelling solo?
20:39But, um,
20:41I just hadn't got the confidence.
20:43Oh!
20:50Hello!
20:51Hi, are you all right?
20:52Hello!
20:53I'm Kate.
20:53Can I give you a hug?
20:55Lovely.
20:55I won't bend down,
20:56cos I'll end up flashing somewhere.
20:57Hi, Kate.
20:59Yes, thank you.
21:00Have you had a long trip?
21:02Well, it's been fine.
21:04I don't know if you don't like lashes.
21:05That'll be good, aren't it?
21:07Good.
21:07I love this talk.
21:09This is amazing.
21:09Shall we have a little sit-down?
21:11I think so, yes.
21:13I can't believe I'm here.
21:15I really can't believe it.
21:16I know, it's surreal.
21:17I've never been on holiday before,
21:18so I had no clothes.
21:20This is my mum's.
21:21Oh, you look amazing.
21:23Well, not as nice as you.
21:24Oh!
21:25She's absolutely great, isn't she?
21:27I couldn't have asked for anyone else.
21:29Oh, dear.
21:30She is amazing.
21:32I mean that now.
21:33She's amazing.
21:34And she's my type of gal.
21:37Oh, we have a message.
21:39Head to...
21:40Sumida.
21:42Sumida.
21:42And look, the path to enlightenment.
21:45Come on, then.
21:49While Barbara and Katie's treasure hunt begins...
21:52Whoa.
21:53I feel like I'm in, like, Confu Panda.
21:56Another young Brit is still hunting for his team-mate.
22:00My name's Aaron.
22:01I'm 18.
22:02I'm from Blackpool.
22:03Konnichiwa.
22:04I'd love to be matched up with, like, a team player...
22:07Konnichiwa.
22:08Who is resilient and who wouldn't want to back down.
22:13But hopefully they don't talk too much.
22:16I don't like yappers.
22:18This is one clean place.
22:22Quietly waiting for her new team-mate is 71-year-old Val.
22:26This trip, for me, it's a godsend.
22:30I've always loved the idea of coming to Japan.
22:33But to be honest, I'm not sure whether or not I would have made it.
22:36Because I have been down emotionally.
22:42And I felt that this would be a way to begin to help me, to uplift me a little bit.
22:48Oh, my God, I knew it was going to be a young person.
22:55I did, OK?
22:57Nice to meet you.
22:58Nice to meet you.
22:59I had little ideas it was going to be someone a bit older.
23:02Yeah, yeah.
23:03I thought it would be a younger person.
23:04Old?
23:05Me?
23:05I'm 71.
23:0771?
23:08Yeah.
23:08Looking good for your age.
23:09Oh, thank you.
23:10You're saying the right things already.
23:11How old do you think I am?
23:14I'd say you're in your 20s.
23:1620?
23:16Yeah.
23:1718.
23:17You're 18?
23:1818.
23:20He's much younger than me.
23:22I mean, that was the first thing, actually, that struck me.
23:26So, hopefully, we'll get on well, we'll complement each other, and we'll do good together.
23:30Oh, I can't even remember what I did when I was 18.
23:33Good laugh.
23:34It's making me smile, so I feel like I've known her ages.
23:37Well, you're young and I'm old, and so hopefully we're going to have some fun time.
23:41We're going to win.
23:43I'm glad you said that.
23:43We're going to win.
23:44We're going to win.
23:45Head to Shibuya.
23:50Look out for the fastest fast food in town.
23:54Should we go find it?
23:54Yeah, should we go?
23:55Let's go find it.
23:55Let's go.
23:55Both teams need to navigate the streets of Tokyo and follow their clues to find their first
24:05challenge.
24:05The team who collect the least amount of coins in each city challenge will face the risk of going home.
24:21Oh, Sumida Kwen.
24:24Heyo, look at this.
24:26Heyo, we'll sit down and see whether we get there.
24:29We need to look for the fastest fast food.
24:31Oh, look, sushi.
24:34Think that's real?
24:35I don't know.
24:36Looks as if it could be real.
24:37You can never tell.
24:38Val and Aaron are first to hunt down the location for their challenge in one of Tokyo's popular
24:44sushi restaurants.
24:46Oh.
24:48That's a lot.
24:48OK, so that's how we order the food then?
24:51And obviously it'll come on the conveyor belt.
24:52I've not seen that before.
24:54How do you know that?
24:54TikTok.
24:56Oh, I'm not the TikTok generation.
24:59For their first challenge, they'll need to keep an eye on what the sushi looks like rather
25:05than what it tastes like.
25:07Me and my mates, we're big foodies like we love food.
25:10What is this?
25:13What did we order?
25:15Massive big smash burgers and sometimes pizza and KFC.
25:20That's interesting.
25:30Is it like?
25:33Disgusting.
25:36Never having that again.
25:37What did that taste like?
25:39That's nice.
25:40I enjoyed that.
25:47I did like it.
25:48I thought it was quite nice.
25:52Most of the food I did like.
25:55Eh?
25:55Yeah.
25:56And you said that was nice.
25:59It's horrible.
26:01Well, I think you experienced it worse than I did, though.
26:04It was minging.
26:0413 miles away, Barbara and Katie have finally found their path to enlightenment and the location
26:12for their first challenge.
26:14It was obvious.
26:16They'll need to immerse themselves in the ancient teachings of Buddha.
26:21Do we have to bow?
26:22I can just do a little bow.
26:24To win coins and stay in the treasure hunt.
26:26What are the birds?
26:28What are the birds?
26:28Phoenix.
26:29Phoenix?
26:30Phoenix, yeah.
26:31Like of Harry Potter?
26:32Yes.
26:32Based on their learnings...
26:35Are you ready?
26:36Yeah.
26:37..they'll need to try and identify which of the ten hanging statements are Buddhist proverbs
26:41and which are Hollywood movie quotes?
26:51Get busy living or get busy dying.
26:55With great power comes great responsibility.
26:59I don't know.
27:01I really thought I'd remember a lot of phrases and this, that and the other, but when you're
27:08placed in this position, it's not how you imagined.
27:11You know, I do tend to forget what's what.
27:15In terms of a Buddhist mind, though, would power be admired?
27:24I don't know.
27:24I don't know.
27:26Back at the sushi restaurant...
27:28Oh!
27:29Val and Aaron are about to compete in their first challenge.
27:33Can you tell real sushi from fake sushi?
27:36For every real dish you correctly identify, you will win one coin.
27:44In restaurant windows across Tokyo, ultra-realistic plastic models of their dishes are displayed
27:50to tempting hungry diners.
27:53There we go.
27:54To bring the pair closer to the £50,000 prize, they must identify which sushi dish is real
28:01and which is a display version.
28:04They can look at each plate, but they aren't allowed to touch them.
28:08What do you think?
28:10Yellow plate?
28:11Yeah.
28:11Oh, bloody hell.
28:13Oh, see you later.
28:15We've got to decide what it was.
28:18What do you think?
28:18I think it's the yellow plate.
28:20Really?
28:20Yeah, the one that was here.
28:22Is that that colour?
28:24It's all new to me, but I am a quick thinker, or I used to be.
28:27I'm able to kind of see things and decide quickly whether it's the right decision.
28:34Who knows?
28:35I thought it was yellow.
28:41No coin.
28:42Damn it.
28:43I'm lucky.
28:44OK.
28:45We've got to lock the colour in this time, OK?
28:48Here we go.
28:50For every plate they guess correctly, they earn a coin.
28:54Yellow plate real sushi.
28:56Yes.
28:58And further their chance of winning £50,000.
29:03If I do win that much money, it'd be a shock.
29:06Red plate real sushi.
29:08Oh, you got it.
29:10You don't really see an 18-year-old from Blackpool.
29:14I think it's red.
29:15The rice on that one is still perfect.
29:18On the areas I've grown up from, having that much money.
29:21Red plate real sushi.
29:24Yes.
29:25You got it.
29:26Wood mean a lot to me.
29:32Ooh.
29:33What do you think?
29:34Yellow plate.
29:34Yeah, me too.
29:35Just go with it.
29:36Yeah, we'll just go yellow.
29:37Yellow plate real sushi.
29:38Oh.
29:39Oh, we've got it.
29:42We've got it, we've got it.
29:44Four coins.
29:45It would have been perfect if we had a five out of five.
29:48I'm hoping that four will be good.
29:50Yeah.
29:50It will be good and will get us through.
29:51Well done.
29:52Yeah.
29:52Yeah, well done, well done, well done, well done, well done.
29:55Well done.
29:55The miracle is not to walk on water, the miracle is to walk on earth.
30:01Back at the ancient temple, Barbara and Katie are still trying to work out which of the quotes are Buddhist proverbs.
30:09I reckon this is Buddhism, you know why?
30:13The miracle is not to walk on water.
30:16That's Christianity.
30:18Mm.
30:18Every correct answer will earn them a coin and further their chance of remaining in the competition.
30:23My brain is just racing.
30:26The miracle is to walk on earth.
30:29That's Buddhism.
30:30I reckon Barbara would do it.
30:31She must know something.
30:33Definitely knows something.
30:35Something more than me anyways.
30:36Get busy living or get busy dying.
30:38I don't think they would purposely bring up dying.
30:43Final answer.
30:43Fingers crossed, my darling.
30:45No, we've got this.
30:53Is this how many we got?
31:01We got all of them, right?
31:05Oh, I'm in the mental league now.
31:07Thank you, we got them all right.
31:11We got five coins.
31:13I definitely trust Barbara.
31:14She's a very intelligent woman.
31:16Oh, they're wonderful.
31:18Oh, I feel like crying.
31:19I'm so proud of us.
31:21I hope it's not a false start.
31:24I hope, you know, the winning, if you like, will continue.
31:27But we can only do it at this.
31:40I think I'm looking for a question mark, I think.
31:44In the heart of Tokyo City.
31:46Do you speak English?
31:49No English.
31:49The final two young Brits are still looking for their new teammates to begin a treasure
31:54hunt together across Japan.
31:56Tokyo is crazy.
31:58Like, I've never seen anything like it in my entire life.
32:00It's so different to Swansea.
32:02To win challenges and a £50,000 cash prize, they'll have to work together and share their
32:08knowledge.
32:09I don't know where.
32:10North, south, east and west.
32:12On the verge of tracking down her new companion is 25-year-old Charlotte.
32:17I work in Asda on the check-out, which is not the best job in the world, but it does pay
32:22the bills.
32:23It's so pretty.
32:24Oh, my goodness.
32:25I always get told off because I chat too long and my scan speeds go drastically low and I've
32:30always got a queue.
32:31It's like the back of the aisles.
32:33I've always got to find a way to cross the tracks.
32:36Busy, busy train station.
32:39A lot of my money is to take care of my parents, take care of my parents' disability, do everything
32:44for them.
32:45Please be obvious.
32:47I can only do obvious.
32:49I'm supposed to win this.
32:50I would buy my mother an electric wheelchair because I don't want to push her around forever.
32:54Do you know what I mean?
32:54It's knackering.
33:00Waiting to be picked up by his junior teammate is 73-year-old Colin.
33:07I'm a bit of an acquired taste.
33:09I like puzzles.
33:12I'm good at numbers.
33:14I'm quite intense at times.
33:16If there's something to do and what to do with.
33:19If people can't keep up with me, why?
33:24Hello.
33:25Hello.
33:26Are you my partner?
33:26I am.
33:28Oh my goodness.
33:29Nice to meet you.
33:30I'm Colin.
33:31I'm Charlotte.
33:32I think a lot of the younger people think we're useless.
33:35We've had our time.
33:36We're past it.
33:38What are we still doing here?
33:39So is that your suitcase?
33:40It is.
33:41No, it's mine.
33:42What is it?
33:43It's an antique.
33:44Oh, wow.
33:45A bit like me, but you know.
33:46Oh, no.
33:47How old are you if you don't mind me asking?
33:4873.
33:49You don't look 73.
33:51You look very young.
33:52Oh my goodness.
33:52He's the cutest guy ever.
33:54He's got a giant suitcase with him.
33:56He gave me like a giant hug when I met him, which instantly, good vibes.
34:00Head to Takashita.
34:03Take a shit.
34:05Okay.
34:06Take a shit straight.
34:07Look for someone dressed to impress.
34:09I think we're the dream team.
34:11I think we're going to smash this competition.
34:13It's like a shit straight.
34:16I've done really well getting her as a teammate.
34:19So friendly and bubbly.
34:21We'll be really good together.
34:23Last to find his new partner is 19-year-old Tende.
34:30I feel like I've seen this face like on TikTok or something.
34:34I have never been traveling without my dad or without my mom.
34:39I thought like this could be an amazing opportunity to get the chance to try and do things by myself
34:47and for myself.
34:48Uh, excuse me, do any of you speak English?
34:52Oh, no?
34:54Is there any like river or like water near here?
34:58Water?
34:59Water?
35:02Waiting patiently is 73-year-old karaoke host Julie.
35:08I hope whoever I'm partnered with has got the energy to keep up with me.
35:11The adrenaline junkie in me, doesn't matter how old I am, wants to do something exciting.
35:16I'm full of joie de vivre, which means the joy of life, in French.
35:22Hi!
35:23Hi!
35:25How are you?
35:26I'm good.
35:28I'm Julie.
35:29I'm Tendi.
35:31How old do you think I am?
35:33Got to be 19, 20, yeah?
35:36Yeah, I'm 19.
35:37I'm 73 in a 20-year-old's body.
35:40Yeah.
35:41She said she was 73.
35:43She seemed like a lot younger.
35:44I feel like she has more energy than me.
35:47And it's quite small.
35:48Oh.
35:48Go to Chofu.
35:50Look for a place where you can go nowhere fast.
35:54Nowhere fast, I'm thinking transport.
35:57Hmm.
35:57OK.
35:59I think we'll work well as a team.
36:01We're going to have a good sense of humour and that always helps when you're doing anything
36:07to laugh.
36:09On the other side of the city, Colin and Charlotte are heading towards the location for their first
36:16challenge.
36:16Have you been anywhere like this before?
36:18Never.
36:19This is like completely out of my culture zone.
36:22Yeah.
36:22Crazy.
36:24Oh, I think Charlotte's amazing.
36:27She's not what I thought young people were.
36:29Young person these days is someone who walks around with a hand like that.
36:34And the phone is there.
36:36And when they're not doing that, they're sat at home on the computers doing this social
36:42media stuff.
36:43Everyone's all smart, are you?
36:45You're going to keep your eyes open, haven't you?
36:47Yeah.
36:48Oh, I got the question mark.
36:50Hi.
36:51Hello.
36:52Nice to meet you.
36:53Nice to meet you.
36:54Nico.
36:55Nico.
36:56Nice to meet you.
36:57Let's go.
36:58Having found someone who's dressed to impress, the duo are about to get their first taste
37:05of kawaii culture.
37:06Oh, my goodness.
37:07A famous Japanese trend centred around embracing cuteness that influenced the design of emojis.
37:16The new teammates will be tested on their collective knowledge of these digital icons in their
37:21first challenge.
37:22Can you figure out which idiom the emojis represent?
37:30What's an idiom?
37:31First question.
37:33I hated school.
37:34It's the worst ever.
37:35I had four GCSEs, though, and one of them was drama, so I'm proud of that.
37:40In idioms, a group of words put together that can give something a meaning.
37:44Oh, so a bit like a catchphrase?
37:46It's like a catchphrase sort of thing, yeah.
37:48Oh, okay.
37:49Oh, thanks, Cole.
37:50I get it now.
37:51I hope.
37:53For every emoji idiom the pair correctly identify, they will win a coin and be a step closer
37:59to the £50,000 prize.
38:07Oh.
38:08Back up the wrong tree.
38:12Yeah!
38:13Yay!
38:15We did it!
38:15One coin.
38:17Thank you so much.
38:19It's beautiful.
38:21I think we're all right with this one.
38:25Do you think?
38:26I am got it.
38:28Storming a teacup.
38:29You want to lock that one in?
38:30Yeah.
38:31Love it!
38:34Good God for you.
38:38Arigato!
38:38Is there a, like, biking stadium?
38:43On the outskirts of the city.
38:46And then turn right.
38:47And then turn right.
38:48Julie and Tende are hoping to close in on their challenge location, a place to go nowhere
38:54fast.
38:55What else?
38:55Tokyo Oval.
38:56One of a few velodromes located in the city.
38:59Look, look, look, look.
39:00Oh, there it is.
39:02The Tokyo Oval Keokaku is home to the Japanese national cycling obsession, Kirin.
39:08Do we look through these?
39:15In every race, to help gamblers identify riders, their shirt colour and number are always the
39:21same.
39:22Unbeknownst to Julie and Tende, this is the key to winning coins in their challenge.
39:28Go for it!
39:29Go for it!
39:30Away from the track, they'll need to put their combined memories to the test, to pair
39:35the riders' numbers with the correct colours.
39:39We both have got different strengths, I'm sure.
39:42He's got youth on his side and I've got experience on mine, so hopefully that'll gel well.
39:47For each number and colour they match, they'll win a coin and a better chance of continuing
39:52their journey together in Japan.
39:55Black was three.
39:57Black was two.
39:58At the end of every city challenge, the pair with the least amount of coins will be sent
40:03packing.
40:05Green came third and it was seven through six, so it has to be six.
40:10So six, which leaves five for yellow.
40:15I'm happy with that.
40:17Are you happy with that?
40:19Yeah.
40:21We've got this.
40:21I hope so.
40:24Oh my gosh.
40:26It's your turn, I got the last one.
40:27Yeah.
40:29Despite a strong start.
40:31Clap in a mask.
40:32Colin and Charlotte are struggling to work out the meaning of their third emoji idiom.
40:37That signal could be praying.
40:38That's what I'm thinking.
40:39That's a disguise at the end.
40:41Yeah.
40:42I think that's to do with praying, so it could be a prayer in disguise.
40:46Oh, that actually sounds good.
40:49Oh, no!
40:50Oh, no!
40:51Good alpha blessing in disguise.
40:54Blessing in disguise.
40:55Of course it is called.
40:56Yeah.
40:57Oh, that's it.
40:58Never mind.
40:59We'll get the next one.
41:00We'll get the next one.
41:00100%.
41:01In my day, there was no technology.
41:04We didn't have mobile phones.
41:06Computers didn't exist.
41:08I'm out of my depth with a lot of technology, as most people my age are.
41:14Doctor something is cast, maybe?
41:18I'm not up to date with emojis.
41:20I've seen them, but I don't know what they are.
41:23Afterwards, you look at the answer and you think, I should have got that.
41:27But at the time, your brain just doesn't take it in.
41:29That's what I'm saying.
41:30Catch a break.
41:30A break, yeah.
41:31I wish we would catch a break.
41:44After an epic treasure hunt across Tokyo,
41:46two of the six teams have only won two coins
41:49and are under threat of leaving Japan.
41:53Add insult to injury.
41:55Never would have got that.
41:57Wouldn't have got it.
41:57That's not even a catcher's call, do you know what I mean?
42:00So the outcome of Colin and Charlotte's emoji game
42:03and Julie and Tenday's Kieran challenge is crucial to their fate.
42:09I'm happy with that.
42:10Are you happy with that?
42:11Yeah.
42:13We've got this.
42:14I hope so.
42:16When it comes to challenges, I'm very competitive.
42:27I always want to win, I have to say.
42:31Yeah.
42:31Yeah.
42:33Yeah.
42:34To me, there's no point in going in for something
42:37if you don't want to win it.
42:37I'm very excited to have won five out of five.
42:50My biggest fear was being the first ones to leave.
42:53So hopefully it doesn't happen.
42:55I can't do that.
43:05Money, muscle, leg.
43:07Back in the Harajuku district,
43:09Colin and Charlotte have got one more chance
43:11to increase their coin total from the current lowest score of two.
43:18Cash, muscle, leg.
43:19Cough, sun, arm and a leg.
43:20Colin, you're amazing.
43:25Nice!
43:25Yay!
43:27You're so...
43:28Connie.
43:29Hi.
43:31Colin is amazing.
43:32Oh, my goodness.
43:33He's hooked the rope on this one.
43:35I kind of, like, sat back and watched.
43:37He'll carry us through, I think.
43:38Thanks.
43:39Yay!
43:39You're star, Nico.
43:41You're amazing.
43:42I'm hoping three coins are enough to keep us in the game
43:45because we're not ready to go home yet.
43:46We're enjoying ourselves too much.
43:52There we go.
43:53Oh, my goodness.
43:54Having done all they can in Tokyo,
43:57all six teams must now meet
43:58to discover which intergenerational duo
44:01has won the least amount of coins
44:03and will be out of the running for £50,000.
44:07Hooray.
44:08We worked hard for those.
44:09You did, honestly.
44:11I think we've done so well when we got this.
44:14Yeah.
44:14I think we're doing all right.
44:16None of the teams yet know
44:18how many coins their rivals have won.
44:21Going into the coin count today,
44:23I'm feeling very, um, nervous
44:25because we have no idea what everyone else has got
44:27and we really, really want to stay.
44:28We don't want to go home.
44:30We know somebody's got to go,
44:32but we don't want it to be us.
44:34Hello.
44:35Are you OK?
44:36Look, you have been free.
44:37Do you want to see how many we've got?
44:38Yeah.
44:39Yeah, I'm ready.
44:40Do a grand reveal.
44:43One, two, oh.
44:48Oh, wow.
44:49Val and Aaron are next to show their hand of four.
44:53Four, that's amazing.
44:55I'm feeling a bit nervous now.
44:57Followed by Julie and Tende.
44:59No way you've got five.
45:02And Barbara and Katie with a full five coins.
45:06Well done.
45:07I'm feeling like that.
45:09Mm-hmm.
45:10As things stand at the moment,
45:12two fives, a four, a three and a two.
45:14So, obviously, we are in the danger zone at the moment.
45:18Last to reveal their coins are Rosie and Lawrence.
45:27If we went home, I would actually be gutted.
45:31Oh, wow.
45:32We want to stay.
45:33We do want to stay.
45:34So, hopefully, it's going to...
45:34Hopefully, it's going to...
45:35Yeah.
45:42One, right.
45:45Two.
45:49And that's us.
45:50OK, so you've got the same.
45:55So, there's a chance that you might be going home.
46:01When I saw all the coins on the table,
46:04I was literally gobsmacked.
46:06Gobsmacked.
46:07Oh!
46:09Uh-oh.
46:12Rosie and Lawrence,
46:15Tony and Emma,
46:18you are the teams with the fewest coins.
46:23Those with the fewest coins
46:25are at risk of having their adventure cut short.
46:29Savage.
46:29The first team to leave Japan...
46:35I do not want to go out.
46:39..will not be judged on one game alone.
46:42What?
46:45Your coins will roll over to the next destination.
46:50Nobody will be going home today.
46:52Yay!
46:56Amazing.
46:56Now, all of you,
47:00pack your bags
47:01because Kyoto is calling.
47:03Yay!
47:04Kyoto!
47:05What is that?
47:08Oh, my goodness!
47:10All of a sudden,
47:11I just felt elated that
47:13we weren't going to be going home
47:15after the first challenge.
47:16We'll be there for each other, obviously,
47:18and, yeah, we're off to Kyoto,
47:20so we can just make the most of that.
47:22I love him.
47:22I just love how positive he is.
47:24It's absolutely wonderful.
47:25Yeah.
47:26With the competition well under way...
47:29Let's go.
47:30..the treasure hunt continues.
47:32Aaron, come on.
47:33Hang on, hang on.
47:36..spanning the far reaches of Japan.
47:38Never quite seen anything like it.
47:40But as the challenges get tougher...
47:42Sorry, yeah.
47:43If they don't know, then we're done for.
47:45..generational cracks begin to appear.
47:48I'm so used to just having my phone out.
47:50Tendei hasn't got experience of the outside world.
47:52Don't panic.
47:52I am panicking.
47:53..as the threat...
47:54Oh, no.
47:56..of elimination...
47:57This is serious now.
47:59..looms large.
48:01I don't want to be here right now.
