00:01This is mad.
00:03At a time where young and old have never been further apart...
00:06I'm going the wrong way.
00:08..six young Brits who have never travelled alone before...
00:11Nothing like Wales.
00:13..are being paired up with six pensioners
00:15who thought they would never travel again.
00:17Are you my team mate?
00:19..to embark on an epic treasure hunt across Japan.
00:22Oh, yes!
00:23Bloody hell, this is going to be hard.
00:25..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.
00:33..they will need to work together as one.
00:36Colin, you're amazing!
00:38..their journey began in Tokyo.
00:40There's a camera here.
00:42..where they followed clues...
00:43Disgusting.
00:44We got all of it right!
00:46..and took on challenges.
00:47Why do you know that?
00:48TikTok.
00:50..combining their experience and strengths to win coins.
00:53Baking like a baked potato.
00:55..two teams struggled.
00:57Oh, that's all.
00:58We got two.
00:59Like, it is quite saddening.
01:00We could be going home.
01:01..but we're given a lifeline to stay in the competition.
01:04Nobody will be going home today.
01:06Yay!
01:09For all six couples, the hunt for £50,000 continues.
01:14Kyoto.
01:15Once the imperial capital of Japan, but still the cultural heart of the country,
01:28where ancient traditions are kept alive.
01:30Kyoto.
01:31It's a lot different compared to Tokyo.
01:33To Tokyo.
01:34With coins earned in Tokyo rolled over.
01:37We've got to get all the stops out today.
01:39We do.
01:40And five more coins to play for here in Kyoto.
01:42I feel like it's a new beginning and an opportunity to redeem ourselves.
01:47The pair with the lowest combined total at the end of this city's challenge will be sent packing.
01:53We need to have a game plan.
01:54Think.
01:55Strategise.
01:56We don't want to get distracted from the job in hand.
02:01With a 44-year age gap, Rosie and Lawrence are starting this leg of the treasure hunt in a vulnerable position.
02:09We're on a bit of a catch up with the other contestants because we only got the two coins.
02:14We need to get five coins today to be in with a good chance of staying.
02:20Like all of the teams, they're relying on their electronic device to give them clues to lead them to their challenge location.
02:27It's tea time.
02:28Head south-east into the hills beyond Wazuka.
02:32Wow.
02:33Could be anywhere over there, I guess, right?
02:36With only two coins rolled over from Tokyo, the duo are in joint last place.
02:41Do you know Wazuka?
02:44Can we come with you?
02:47If we could have read Japanese, we could have gone cheaper on the bus.
02:51I know a little bit. I would bring a book with me somewhere.
02:54Oh, did you?
02:55When I got to the airport, I got like one of them tour guide books and I've just been picking up information out of it since.
03:00So you say the name of the place and then Iwado Ikebu Idesuka.
03:05Oh, you've done your research. I'm very impressed.
03:07Little bits here and there.
03:08I think it's because I'm in a new place, you know, trying to take in and learn as much as I can.
03:12And you've got an interest.
03:13Yeah, interest for sure. Like, I wasn't very academic at school. Like, I missed school for quite a few years.
03:21I would get ready for school. I'd go to the school gates. I'd sign in and I'd walk straight back out the school gates.
03:26My parents were together until I was about seven years old and they split up. And then I think I went into care at the age of like 13.
03:37When I was at school, I wasn't really doing great. So the group of people I was hanging around with at the time, you know, like I was doing a lot of drugs and alcohol and just kind of being in trouble with some kids.
03:48And then since then, it's just been a game of catch up really.
03:50Yeah, yeah.
03:51I hit kind of like 19 and was like, I kind of need to do something, you know, like, I do wish I could go back to school and kind of redo them things.
04:00I think he's really embracing this trip. I love his enthusiasm. I love his thirst for knowledge.
04:08I'm guessing this is where we're going to.
04:10I believe that that's tea plants.
04:13Oh, really?
04:14Mm-hmm. He's just fabulous. I couldn't have wished for a better partner.
04:21Their search has led them to the Wazuka tea plantation.
04:25Wow, look at that.
04:26You can smell the tea.
04:28Where farmers have been harvesting tea for hundreds of years.
04:32How much tea do you guys think you like export from here in Wazuka per year?
04:37Wazuka is responsible for 50% of Wazuka tea.
04:41The duo will need to remember everything they're learning at the plantation as it will help them later on with their challenge.
04:49Never seen tea like this before. Just in a box and in a bag.
04:51Being out in the tea fields, like, it was wonderful. Like, it was so amazing.
04:56Like, honestly, so grateful, man, in so many ways, you know?
04:59It was just me and Rosie in the middle of nowhere. It was, like, the best day of my life, to be honest.
05:05Kind of once in a lifetime, right?
05:06Back in the heart of the city, another team are also making the most of each other's company.
05:16Well, after Tokyo, this seems so much prettier.
05:2173-year-old Colin and 25-year-old Charlotte have been embracing their age gap.
05:26Me and Colin are, like, little besties. We click like that. As soon as I saw her, we had the biggest smile ever.
05:34Our communication is on point, so I think that's very, very helpful in the games,
05:39because, like, we just talk through anything.
05:41Everyone's on bikes here, aren't they?
05:43Have you ridden a bike, though?
05:44I have, yeah, but, like, months ago.
05:47Months ago? Yeah.
05:4960 years ago. Oh, no!
05:52Yeah.
05:53I couldn't have picked anyone better.
05:55She seems so mature for her age.
05:57Well, the brakes work really well, Carl.
06:00You're right, it's just like riding a bike.
06:02Yeah!
06:03Look at you, you're whizzing off.
06:05You're so fit.
06:07I just don't believe in getting old.
06:10I'm so comfortable with her, and she is with me, I know that.
06:14I feel like we've known each other for years.
06:16Funny enough, my son came to Japan.
06:19Did he?
06:20He was a qualified English teacher.
06:23He said how wonderful it was and how nice the people were.
06:26Just after that, he went on to Thailand, and it was the start of Covid,
06:32and we got the message that he died.
06:35Did he?
06:37Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
06:39How old is he?
06:41He was 31.
06:48He just died in his sleep.
06:50Sudden adult death syndrome, they called it.
06:54They cremated him in Thailand, so I couldn't go to the funeral.
07:00To lose a child is...
07:01Yeah.
07:02Oh, you can't imagine it.
07:04Yeah.
07:08He enjoyed every minute of his life, and that's why I do everything I do.
07:17It was a great shock.
07:19I live with it, and I'll never get over it.
07:26But I live with it.
07:29He had this adventurous spirit.
07:31He'd go anywhere, do anything, and that's what I'm trying to do.
07:35Exactly.
07:36To get a chance to go on an adventure, just take it.
07:39It was hard hearing Colin talk about his son, cos he was quite recent.
07:46But he's so brave, honestly.
07:48He talks about him with, like, so much pride.
07:51It's just the fact of being here now, and seeing it...
07:56..and feeling it.
07:58Yeah.
07:59I can see what he meant.
08:01I'm so glad I came.
08:04Give me a hug.
08:10Back at the plantation, Lawrence and Rosie are taking a break
08:14after learning everything they could about tea...
08:17Oh, indeed. Mm, it's very nice.
08:19..with a brew of the current Japanese phenomenon, matcha.
08:23Yeah, it's different.
08:24Yeah, everyone's going crazy for matcha at the moment.
08:26Oh, right.
08:27And TikTok, and obviously...
08:29Do you use TikTok and social media and stuff yourself?
08:31No, I do Facebook, but I've never taken a selfie in my life.
08:35Really?
08:37Why don't we take one now?
08:38You want to try?
08:39Just get, like, find a nice angle, and then...
08:41Yeah, yeah.
08:42..once you're ready, just...
08:43Just press it as long as if I'm taking a normal photograph.
08:46And that's it.
08:47Wow.
08:48Awesome, right?
08:50That's all right.
08:51See? I'm learning.
08:52That's it. Every day's a learning day, right?
08:53Every day's a school day.
08:54That's what they say.
08:58As well as in tea, matcha is used in various different products,
09:02some of which have familiar-sounding names.
09:04They'll need to pay close attention to not only what they taste like,
09:07but also what they are called.
09:08They'll need to pay close attention to not only what they taste like,
09:11but also what they are called.
09:13Chocolate, doughnuts, cake.
09:18Cake?
09:19Yes.
09:22It's very similar to some of the words I've been learning in my book.
09:24Like, it's almost as if certain things have been adopted
09:27from other cultures, maybe.
09:28Would you like a donut soup?
09:30After the war, with Americans and English being within Japan,
09:34a lot of words were, like, adopted.
09:36Ah, right.
09:37So it's, like, easier to understand.
09:38The world is an abundance of knowledge, you know,
09:40and I feel like there's so much to learn.
09:42Obviously, with the elimination rounds, having that in mind,
09:45just trying to take in as much as I can
09:47and soak it up as much as possible.
09:49With only two coins carried over from Tokyo,
09:54Rosie and Lawrence will need to up their game
09:57in their first challenge.
09:59Search for a shop where everything is green
10:02and find your shopping list.
10:04The game is going to be challenging.
10:07A plant store.
10:10Yeah, it could be, you know, like a garden centre, perhaps,
10:13or something similar.
10:14The last one we didn't do so great,
10:16but, like, same time I'm up for a challenge, you know?
10:18PHONE RINGS
10:19Let's have a guide.
10:21Head to Nakai Gyoku.
10:24Look for a place to call home.
10:27I mean, everything's a bit green round here, isn't it?
10:29Yeah, everything's green.
10:30A place to call home.
10:32We're going to be searching for ours.
10:34Look at this, just over there.
10:35After a morning's learning at the tea plantation...
10:37We found it.
10:39..Rosie and Lawrence have hunted down the location
10:42for their challenge.
10:44This is it.
10:45Right.
10:46A tea shop where every product is made from matcha tea leaves.
10:50As for Kurimo.
10:51Sounds very similar, doesn't it, to, like, ice cream?
10:53Sounds similar.
10:54And it makes sense in comparison to, like, earlier,
10:56when we had Donotsu, and it's very similar.
11:00To win coins,
11:02Rosie and Lawrence will need to correctly identify
11:04five items on their shopping list.
11:06To buy As for Kurimo.
11:08Each product is written in Gairaigo,
11:11the term for Japanese words
11:13which have been influenced by Western languages.
11:15As for Kurimo.
11:17They will have one attempt per item to get it right
11:20and win a coin.
11:22No.
11:23No.
11:24Ice cream.
11:25Ice cream?
11:26Oh.
11:27It's more like a lollipop.
11:28With a maximum of five on offer,
11:30every correct answer will raise their chance
11:33of remaining in the competition.
11:35Oh, that's a blow.
11:37It is indeed.
11:38We've got to get all of the others right now.
11:40Teabag.
11:41Teabags.
11:42That looks most like teabags.
11:44Yeah.
11:45I'm enjoying it so much
11:47that I wouldn't want to go home just yet.
11:49And what else do we have?
11:50We have potato chips.
11:52So much more to explore.
11:53So much more to do.
11:55And also to build deeper the relationship with Lawrence.
11:59Matcha butter.
12:00Never seen that before.
12:02I just don't want it to end.
12:03I want it to go on.
12:06Back in the heart of the city.
12:08What was the second part?
12:09Find something up.
12:10Call home.
12:11What's your symbol for Blackpool?
12:13There's a blackboard tower.
12:14So it might be a dragon and a tower.
12:17With three coins rolling over from Tokyo.
12:20Hey, hang on.
12:21Hang on.
12:22What's that?
12:23Colin and Charlotte have finally hunted down the location
12:26for their next challenge.
12:28What have you got?
12:29It's open.
12:30He found a secret door.
12:31What the hell?
12:32A British phone box with a secret entrance to a hidden Japanese whiskey bar.
12:38While whiskey was first distilled in Scotland, it's also a massive industry in Japan.
12:44Can you correctly identify which fact is about Japan?
12:49The key to winning coins will be to identify which facts on the whiskey bottles are true to Scotland and which are true to Japan.
12:57Are you ready?
12:58I think so.
12:59Yes.
13:00As every question they answer correctly will earn them a coin and a dram of whiskey.
13:06This country's legal driving age is 18 and this country's legal driving age is 17.
13:1517.
13:16That must be the Japanese one.
13:1720.
13:18The country's legal driving age is 18.
13:19Yeah.
13:20And that's our final answer.
13:22Arigato.
13:23Arigato.
13:24As a whiskey drinker, can't get any better than this.
13:31Oh, Christ, it is wrong.
13:34Oh, my God.
13:35I've never tried whiskey in my life.
13:38It burnt when it went down.
13:39It's a bit like mouthwash.
13:41Yeah.
13:42So when you brush your teeth and you have mouthwash and you accidentally drink it.
13:45Oh, you're good.
13:46That's what it tastes like.
13:47This country has 790 offshore islands.
13:54And this country has 14,125 islands.
13:59There's no way Scotland's got 14,000 islands.
14:02No, surely not.
14:04Yay!
14:07Gosh, that was a hard one.
14:08It was.
14:09Arigato.
14:11Cheers.
14:12He's fit, isn't he?
14:16What a pretty boy.
14:17The barman was so cute.
14:20Honestly, he was so fit.
14:22He's amazing.
14:23His eyes were stunning.
14:25So I just got lost in his eyes.
14:29By now, by 25, I thought I'd have at least three kids.
14:33But I haven't met my prince yet.
14:35Do you know what I mean?
14:36I can't find him in Wales.
14:37I don't think he is in Wales.
14:38Maybe I'll find him here.
14:40Then that person has to move back to Wales because I can't stay in a different country.
14:43Do you know what I mean?
14:44Do you know what I mean?
14:47This country has 26 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
14:53And this country has seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
14:59And I don't know about Scotland.
15:01They have the river with the lockless monster in.
15:03That's not a river, that's a lock.
15:05Oh, Christ.
15:07You've had too much whisky.
15:08I haven't though.
15:09They're quite small amounts.
15:10We think that Japan has 26.
15:14I can't look.
15:16Yay!
15:17Oh, God.
15:18Look at the sweet coin.
15:19We're smashing this.
15:26Which one are we looking for?
15:27Kayandi.
15:28Sounds like candy.
15:29I just don't want to get it wrong.
15:31It's so important.
15:33With only two coins rolled over from Tokyo,
15:36Rosie and Lawrence are about to find out their fate in their challenge.
15:40With, obviously, the two coins, I don't know if we're going to be able to get further.
15:45Like, we need to get five coins this game, really, ideally, on this challenge.
15:49But I think having Rosie by my side, like, it's quite endearing to know that, like, someone with so much life experience,
15:54it's like learning, you know? Everyone's learning for the first time.
15:58Teabagio?
15:59Yes.
16:00Yes?
16:01Yes.
16:02Having Lawrence as a teammate is a game-changer.
16:05He remembers things.
16:06He keeps notes.
16:08He's like a sponge for all of the knowledge that Japan has to offer.
16:13And I'm grateful he's here with me.
16:16Potato chip soup.
16:17Yes.
16:18Yes.
16:19And butter?
16:21Yes.
16:23Amazing.
16:24Kayandi.
16:25Kayandi, yes.
16:27Amazing.
16:29That's amazing.
16:30Four coins.
16:31Yeah, I shake my bag and you hear them jingle.
16:32You hear that?
16:34Like, we actually smashed it.
16:36We did it!
16:37This country's men's football team ranked 44th in the world.
16:43This country's ranked 15th.
16:46Now this is one I don't know.
16:48The Scotland team is ranked higher than the Japanese.
16:52No!
16:53Oh, really?
16:54Yeah.
16:55Despite a strong start, back in the speakeasy, Colin and Charlotte's winning streak is starting to slow down.
17:02This country's national animal is the unicorn.
17:06And this country's national animal is the green pheasant.
17:11I think unicorn is going to be Japanese.
17:15No!
17:16Are you serious?
17:17What?
17:19We're sure that was Scottish and then...
17:22No, we're sure it was Japanese and it was Japanese.
17:24It was Scottish.
17:25I'm so sorry!
17:28Charlotte, unfortunately, she's not a drinker.
17:31So, a couple of whiskies and she was staggering a bit.
17:36But she'll be fine.
17:37We'll get her home all right.
17:38In a city where ancient traditions are revered, six intergenerational teams are on a treasure hunt with a difference.
17:56I'm so used to just having my phone out and then looking at maps on there.
18:01With £50,000 at stake...
18:03Eyes on the prize.
18:04Eyes on the prize.
18:05Yeah.
18:06...four more teams are still to compete in their city challenge.
18:09Why not?
18:10What's it say, darling?
18:12It's time to turn some heads, make your way to...
18:15Kitaku.
18:17With a maximum of five coins rolling over from Tokyo...
18:20Puzzled with that, I'll tell you.
18:22...80-year-old Barbara and 21-year-old Katie are in a strong position in the competition.
18:28Turn some heads.
18:30For a fashion show?
18:32Yeah, it might be.
18:34Catwalk.
18:35Are you any good?
18:36Come on.
18:37Sure is your best catwalk.
18:38Ready?
18:39Go on.
18:40Oh, yeah.
18:41How is it then?
18:42Hanging out with Barbara is, like, looking into my future.
18:45She's like the older version of me.
18:47Oh, dear.
18:48Time to turn some heads.
18:50Right, turn some heads.
18:51Kate has given me some new energy, if you like.
18:55I should have put my glasses on, really, shouldn't I?
18:57Would have helped.
18:58We did click instantly.
19:00And both of us knew it, you know, from the beginning.
19:04Bloody hell, this is going to be hard.
19:06On the other side of the city, 71-year-old Val and 18-year-old Aaron
19:11are also trying to decipher their clue.
19:15Head for...
19:16Let's have a look.
19:17I can't understand that.
19:19Let me see.
19:20Look for a Japanese man who doesn't want to be seen.
19:24I can't see anything in here.
19:25He must be hiding in the bushes, then.
19:27Despite their 53-year age gap, Val and Aaron are starting to forge a close relationship.
19:33What that gentleman over there is wearing.
19:35I want to wear one.
19:36Do you think he might know where we need to go?
19:38Oh, oh, actually.
19:40Hakura Akaten.
19:42Val, Val, Val, Val.
19:44I love her.
19:45Oh, oh.
19:46Oh.
19:47Oh.
19:48She's a legend.
19:49Could it have been that man?
19:50Japanese man that didn't want to be seen?
19:51Oh, it could be him.
19:52Did we just let him go?
19:54Oh, she's funny.
19:55Let's go back.
19:56Aaron, come on.
19:57The way she is, and I love it.
19:59It might not be you.
20:01He hasn't got the pin.
20:03He hasn't got the pin.
20:04She's a mate now.
20:05Oh, oh.
20:06We're not going to miss that one.
20:07Oh, my word.
20:08Four miles north, Barbara and Katie have tracked down the location for their next challenge,
20:21in Kyoto's Geisha district.
20:23Oh, my gosh.
20:24Oh.
20:25So amazing.
20:26Specialising in the traditional Japanese attire, this luxury kimono boutique offers visitors
20:32an immersive experience.
20:34I'm absolutely loving this.
20:37I love getting dressed up.
20:39It's nice to be, like, be taken care of.
20:45I don't really get it when I'm at home.
20:48My mum tried her absolute best, but, yeah, there's not a lot she could do with the money
20:55that she had.
20:56It wasn't much to my childhood.
20:58Me and my dad clashed quite a lot.
21:00So, in the end, they're just like, see you later.
21:03Goodbye.
21:04When I was 16, I was homeless for four months.
21:09I was very, very, very down.
21:12Lonely.
21:13Confused.
21:15A bit lost.
21:17Oh, wow.
21:20That is beautiful.
21:23Oh, Katie.
21:25I feel like crying.
21:26It's not.
21:28Oh.
21:30I'm such an old girl.
21:38It feels nice.
21:43I feel like someone's taken care of me.
21:48You look beautiful.
21:51Do you know why you got emotional, Katie?
21:54I think I probably hadn't felt, like, looked after and feeling as though someone was wanting the best for me in a long time.
22:04Oh.
22:05Have you always felt confident within yourself?
22:07Not really.
22:08You know, as one grows older and experiences more things, it comes naturally.
22:15You take a lot for granted when we're young, because we've got all those years ahead.
22:21It's vital to do as much as you can, almost live for the day.
22:27It's gorgeous.
22:28It's gorgeous.
22:29And you look gorgeous.
22:30They're a Japanese man who doesn't want to be seen?
22:33What the hell does that mean?
22:34Someone's had a good night, haven't they?
22:35Oh, yeah, look at that.
22:36It may be ninja.
22:37Ninja?
22:38Yeah.
22:39Ninja?
22:40Ninja?
22:41Yeah.
22:42He said we should look for the ninjas.
22:47Found it.
22:48Yeah, we found the pin.
22:50Game on.
22:51With three coins rolling over from their Tokyo challenge, the next leg of Val and Aaron's treasure hunt has led them to the enigmatic world of the ninja.
23:02Oh, nice to meet you.
23:04The legendary spies and assassins that operated in Japan between the 12th and 19th centuries.
23:11Oh, my God, look at you.
23:13Looking stone in.
23:15The duo will need to pay close attention to the different types of ninja weapons, as they will be tested on everything they learn.
23:25Sometimes a female ninja uses this one.
23:29Looks like it's just a ring.
23:31Grab, arm, arms, scratch.
23:34This is called kunai, like a knife.
23:38Or climbing the wall.
23:40Stick.
23:41Step up.
23:42Step up.
23:43Based on the learnings of their ninja masterclass, the duo will need to decipher the clues to match the description of the weapon to the correct item.
23:53Use this to cut grass by day and kill by night.
23:56Bottom one.
23:57It looks like you could use it to cut grass for sure.
24:02Nothing to worry about when you can use this weapon for cutting, cooking and climbing.
24:08He demonstrated that the ninja used this weapon at night to climb.
24:14Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:15That was the only one that you could use for climb.
24:16To climb.
24:17Yeah.
24:22Across the city, another observation challenge is beginning.
24:25To win coins, Barbara and Katie will have to remember everything they're being shown in their traditional geisha dance.
24:40Michael has trained for five years and then become geiko.
24:43As they'll be tested on their newfound knowledge.
24:47You can see the difference of the kimono.
24:49The sleeves is very different.
24:51Geiko has short sleeves.
24:52And Michael has a long sleeve.
24:58Amazing.
25:00Wonderful.
25:01There's a lot to take in.
25:02Yes, a lot to take in.
25:04Some of the names.
25:05I can't even remember my own name half the time.
25:14Which of the dancers wore this shorter sleeved kimono?
25:18Michael.
25:21No.
25:22Katie is just a fantastic person and I want to win for her because she's had a tough time.
25:28How many chrysanthemum flowers were represented in the Makos Kanzoshi?
25:35Is that the head person?
25:39Four.
25:40I'm sorry, no.
25:41No.
25:44Used by female ninjas.
25:45This is a weapon in disguise.
25:47Yeah.
25:48With a life-changing prize on offer, both teams are doing all they can to avoid being sent home from Kyoto.
25:55I say this, because you can hide it, can't you?
25:58We're a good team.
25:59Yeah, so, yeah.
26:00See, young and old can actually work together.
26:03A weapon to block and to scratch.
26:06You think I'm an old granny.
26:08No.
26:09Yeah.
26:10But you need the yin and the yang.
26:11Young and old.
26:12Lock in.
26:13Lock in.
26:14Lock in.
26:15Lock in.
26:16It's in the stars or it's not.
26:17Tekkoukagi.
26:18Yes.
26:19Yes?
26:20I've not really been teamed up with a female in my life.
26:23Tsubokiri.
26:24Yes.
26:25She's not shouted or not moaned at me.
26:29Kunai.
26:30No.
26:31No.
26:32Not really experienced the night before, but I love it.
26:37Kakute.
26:38Yes.
26:39Last.
26:40Mm-hmm.
26:41Kusarigama.
26:42Yes.
26:43Yes.
26:44Yes.
26:46Guess what?
26:47We got our four.
26:48We got four.
26:49Haven't we?
26:50Yeah, we have.
26:51We have four.
26:52I'm over the moon.
26:53I'm over the moon.
26:54I'm over the moon.
26:55I'm over the moon.
26:56I'm over the moon.
26:57I'm over the moon.
26:58I think I was a better ninja.
27:01Of course I was.
27:02You are.
27:03How long did it take for the geisha to complete her training?
27:11Was it five or seven years?
27:14With no correct answers so far, Barbara and Katie's place in the competition is hanging
27:20in the balance.
27:21Five years.
27:22Five years.
27:23You're right.
27:24Five years.
27:25Oh, that's the best coin I've ever seen.
27:29I honestly wouldn't want to go into this with anyone else but Barbara.
27:34How many butterflies were defeated in the Makos drama?
27:41I've seen three.
27:43Three.
27:44Just having so much positivity around me has definitely done me some good.
27:48I wouldn't want to win with anyone else.
27:50Three.
27:51You are right.
27:52Absolutely amazing.
27:54So we got two coins out of five.
27:55Yeah.
27:56I think we both absolutely got it.
27:57Yes.
27:58But I think overall we're still in a good position.
27:59It's the unknown, isn't it?
28:00You know, it's the unknown.
28:01It's the unknown.
28:02It's a waiting game, isn't it?
28:03It's the unknown.
28:04It's the unknown.
28:05It's the unknown.
28:06It's the unknown, isn't it?
28:07It's the unknown.
28:08It's the unknown.
28:09It's the unknown.
28:10It's the unknown.
28:11It's the unknown.
28:12In Japan's former capital city of Kyoto, the final two teams are waiting to receive their
28:28clue which will lead them to their challenge location.
28:31Walk east to Kawaramachi Dori Street.
28:36Today you're making your own lunch.
28:38Well, if we're making it, there's either a cooking school, maybe...
28:42It feels more like street markets.
28:4473-year-old veteran traveller Julie
28:47and first-time solo traveller 19-year-old Tende
28:50are starting their search in the city's historic food market.
28:54Look at this. Octopus balls.
28:57Didn't know octopus had balls.
28:59They'll have to work together to take note of the produce on offer.
29:02Are they, like, baby octopus? You can try.
29:05I feel like you're braver than me.
29:08But they're one of the teams that still seem worlds apart.
29:12What does it taste like?
29:14It's not the best thing I've ever had, but it's not the worst, either.
29:17Tende's a young man. Been in education most of his life.
29:21He hasn't got experience of the outside world,
29:23whereas I've reached my age and travelled
29:27and just lessons in life in general.
29:31That's where the generation gap comes in.
29:37What does it taste like?
29:38Sweet!
29:39It's nice!
29:40I'll try it well.
29:41They're very, very chewy.
29:43Imagine a snail in miniature.
29:45The snail?
29:46Mm-hmm.
29:47I've always been quite self-disciplined,
29:50and often it's been my parents being like,
29:52oh, you need to go out more and, like, you need to do more stuff.
29:56I'm trying to remind myself
29:57that I need to push myself out of my comfort zone.
30:00Oh, it's very fishy.
30:01That taste is still in my mouth.
30:10Across the city, 68-year-old Tony and 18-year-old Emma
30:14are in current lowest position,
30:16with just two coins from Tokyo.
30:20So now we really are being adventurous, aren't we?
30:23One, two, three.
30:27It's nice.
30:28Oh, don't mix it all.
30:29Don't mix it together.
30:30Don't mix it together.
30:33Do you think that having lived in care
30:35has given you a certain strength of character
30:38to make you strong enough
30:42to even entertain doing a trip like this on your own?
30:46I do think care kind of shaped me the way I am now.
30:48I feel like I'm very mature.
30:49I don't have many friends.
30:51I do think I get on with people older than me
30:53than I do my own age.
30:54Yeah.
30:55How about you with family?
30:56Um, well, I was married for a very long time.
31:01No.
31:01Then I realised I was gay in my fifties.
31:03Really?
31:04Yeah, that came as a big shock to me,
31:06and it took me another ten years
31:10before I really had the courage to do anything about it.
31:13I was becoming unwell.
31:19The struggle just became more and more difficult.
31:22Um, I couldn't go through the rest of my life
31:24not recognising who I was,
31:27and I just felt I had no option
31:29other than to go and talk to my wife.
31:31That was a very difficult conversation, as you can imagine.
31:34I just kept saying sorry,
31:37and she said,
31:38stop saying sorry,
31:39because you can't help who you are.
31:43Has it been hard
31:45having to learn a new life and stuff like that?
31:47Yeah, everything is new,
31:49and new emotions,
31:52new feelings.
31:54I feel like this has definitely made us closer.
31:57It's really nice to know Tony, like, in a deeper level.
32:00It just feels like he trusts me enough
32:02to tell me, like, all the deep stuff.
32:03Hold on for a second.
32:05That was a ping.
32:06Game time.
32:07You're ready.
32:08Head to Sakyoku
32:10and look for a holy red gate in a forest.
32:14Does that mean it's got holes in it, or it's...
32:16No, I think it's, like, religious, sort of cross on it.
32:19Could it be a temple?
32:21Konnichiwa.
32:22Konnichiwa.
32:22Hello.
32:23And we're trying to go to a place called this.
32:27You know?
32:27Yes, let's go.
32:28Will you take us?
32:29Will you take us?
32:30Absolutely.
32:30Yeah.
32:30That's great.
32:33Look at the bamboo trees.
32:37Yeah.
32:40My family are very important to me.
32:42And I've been astounded by the positivity and support
32:45and the love that I've received from everybody around me.
32:48But I feel a massive sense of loss of my marriage to my beautiful wife
32:54and the whole change of my life now, living on my own.
32:59Sakyoku, let's get into that.
33:14This sacred Shimogamo shrine is one of Japan's oldest places of worship.
33:19Wow.
33:20Oh, I can see a pen.
33:22Where guardians of the city come to pray to their specific Zodiac animal.
33:27We want to make sure that we do not miss out on anything.
33:30Definitely to be very, very observant.
33:33Please take your Zodiac animal and write down a wish or hope.
33:36Yeah, how do we know our Zodiac animal?
33:37Oh, what are you?
33:42Sheep.
33:43I'm a pig.
33:44Absorbing everything in the temple ahead of their challenge
33:47includes writing a wish on their Zodiac sign.
33:51I like what it says about sheep.
33:53Peaceful nature and kind.
33:55What's your sign?
33:56The boar.
33:58Yeah.
33:59Straightforward and honest.
34:00I'm not straightforward.
34:01A determined doer who never gives up.
34:04So I wrote that I hope for a peaceful life in this sad world.
34:13And to find love again.
34:16Aw, Tony.
34:18I was speaking from my heart and when I reflect back on what's happened in my life since I came out,
34:25I do feel that if somebody special came into my life,
34:29that that would make a really big difference to me,
34:32who I am and where I'm at and was it all worth it?
34:34HE LAUGHS
34:35HE LAUGHS
34:36HE LAUGHS
34:39HE LAUGHS
34:41HE LAUGHS
34:43HE LAUGHS
34:45HE LAUGHS
34:45Oh.
34:46HE LAUGHS
34:47Back in the city, one team who are still struggling to bridge their generational divide
34:53are 73-year-old Julie and 19-year-old Tenday.
34:57I think we're learning more about each other, how each other ticks.
35:01Having hunted down their challenge location at a cookery school,
35:05Julie and Tenday are about to be tested on their skills of observation.
35:09In 16th century, Samurai King created gorgeous bento box.
35:15It's very nice because we can eat many things in one box.
35:20Please remember, eel.
35:22Raw cutfish, sesame seed, pickled plum, carrot.
35:28They'll need to memorise 30 different ingredients
35:31as the chef will ask them to create five different sections of a bento box.
35:36HE LAUGHS
35:37Did you remember all those ingredients?
35:39HE LAUGHS
35:40For every section they get right,
35:41they'll win a coin to add to their current total of five.
35:46I do not feel that confident, but...
35:48We'll be good, we'll be good. Don't worry, don't worry.
35:50Poor Tenday, he's really freaked about it.
35:54We're going to be all right. Don't panic.
35:57I am panicking.
35:58I feel a bit nervous.
36:00I don't want to be eliminated.
36:02Please place in the top left compartment
36:06shredded cabbage,
36:08fried chicken,
36:10Oh God, we've got a...
36:11Charmone,
36:12Charmone and cherry tomatoes.
36:15Charted cabbage,
36:17fried chicken.
36:18Chicken.
36:19It's when she pointed out the dishes.
36:22It was quite fast.
36:23Please place in bottom left compartment
36:27rice,
36:29Get the dish, Charmone.
36:30Sesame seed,
36:32pickled cucumber,
36:33and pickled plum.
36:38Pickled cucumber and pickled plum.
36:41It was pickled cucumber, was it?
36:42What was that?
36:43Do you remember that?
36:45Are we sure this is cucumber?
36:49I'm a very indecisive person,
36:51so having to make a decision
36:53when I'm not 100% sure
36:54was a bit challenging.
36:57OK.
36:58Back at the shrine,
37:07after this morning's immersion
37:08learning about Zodiac signs,
37:10Tony and Emma must try and recall
37:12which Zodiac animal
37:13has which personality trait.
37:17Oh God.
37:18After scoring joint lowest
37:20with just two coins in Tokyo,
37:22every correct match
37:23will win them another coin
37:25and a chance of staying
37:26in the competition.
37:28I just don't want to be
37:29the first person eliminated,
37:30which sounds really horrible
37:31because the first person
37:32that gets eliminated
37:33from the show,
37:34I basically just called
37:35them the first loser,
37:36so...
37:37Sorry.
37:40Can you correctly identify
37:42five of the Japanese
37:43Zodiac animals
37:44based on their main
37:45characteristic?
37:48Do you remember your one?
37:50Sheep.
37:52Central.
37:53How sure are you?
37:55Yeah, I think I'm pretty sure.
37:57Go on.
38:00I'm trying to remember mine.
38:01I can't remember the first word.
38:03Mine said something about
38:04never giving up.
38:05I did think it said honest.
38:08The really nice thing with Emma
38:10is that she's very competitive,
38:11so I hope that she can bring us
38:13the success that we're looking for.
38:15Free-spirited,
38:16I'd actually put a horse
38:17or a monkey.
38:18OK.
38:19My inclination is free-spirited
38:21as a monkey more than a horse.
38:23OK.
38:24Which animal would you go for
38:26for peaceful?
38:27Dog.
38:29My gut feeling for the peaceful
38:30is the snake.
38:31Why would a snake be peaceful?
38:33And what would you change to?
38:34I'd probably put a dog as peaceful
38:35because they can't have a peaceful life,
38:38do you not think?
38:39I think you're maybe
38:41trying to overthink it.
38:46Pickled radish,
38:49bamboo shoot,
38:50cognac.
38:51Oh, OK.
38:53Back in the kitchen,
38:55Julie and Tende
38:56are struggling
38:56to name ingredients
38:57after a day
38:58being immersed
38:59in Japanese food.
39:00I feel
39:01a bit lost.
39:04Let's be honest,
39:05we don't know.
39:06Fish cake,
39:07kombu,
39:07seaweed,
39:08dashimaki,
39:10and
39:10cod raw eggs.
39:12It's fish eggs, basically,
39:13because I know
39:14my dad used to have it.
39:15This smells fishy,
39:16but I don't know if...
39:17So does this.
39:18Yeah, I don't like
39:19the smell of that.
39:20Oh, my God.
39:21I hate doing so much.
39:23Don't worry, don't worry.
39:24Being the person that he is,
39:26he wants to be the very best.
39:29We'll lock that one in, please,
39:30which is a wonderful
39:31attribution for a young man,
39:33but it's a good lesson
39:35to learn in life
39:36that you're not always
39:38going to be at the top
39:38of the tree.
39:39This is our box.
39:41Look at you.
39:43This has stressed me out.
39:45After an immersive treasure hunt
39:57across Kyoto,
39:58the team with the lowest coin total
40:00will be leaving the competition.
40:03Should we just go for it?
40:04So the outcome of Tony and Emma's
40:06zodiac game...
40:07We're going to have to.
40:09..and Julie and Tende's bento challenge...
40:11That was hard.
40:13..will determine their stay in Japan.
40:16We definitely haven't got more right.
40:18I'm trying to put him at ease,
40:20but I genuinely think he's going to dwell
40:22on this the rest of the day.
40:23So for the first one,
40:25you put in
40:26shredded cabbage,
40:28cherry tomatoes,
40:30salmon,
40:30and fried chicken.
40:31It's correct.
40:32Congratulations.
40:34And then
40:35for the second,
40:37there's something wrong here.
40:40You need to put
40:41pickled cucumber.
40:43It's over there.
40:45Oh, that's pickled cucumber.
40:46Yes.
40:46And for the third one.
40:48But three things are wrong.
40:51Yes.
40:51For the fourth,
40:53fish cake,
40:53it's correct.
40:55And the kombu seaweed
40:56should be here.
40:57And then for the last one.
40:59Yes.
41:00Yay!
41:01So now
41:02you can have
41:04two coins.
41:09Good job.
41:10I try my best
41:12at everything that I do.
41:13And I did that today.
41:14So despite it maybe
41:15not being five out of five,
41:16I'm happy that we gave it our best.
41:22At the Shinto shrine,
41:23Tony and Emma
41:24are struggling
41:25to commit to a final decision.
41:30I don't think
41:31I want to
41:31go around in circles anymore.
41:35Can I just die on the floor?
41:38I, like,
41:39just almost have enough money
41:41to get through the month.
41:43So, like,
41:43winning this money
41:44would mean everything
41:45because I would at least
41:46be able to live easy
41:48for a little while
41:49and not have to worry
41:49about the bills
41:50and the food shops.
41:54Let's just go with it.
41:57So long as there's
41:58no disagreement
41:59between ourselves
42:00that we've chosen
42:00the wrong things.
42:02No, I think we've both
42:03talked about what we think
42:04and we're both agreeing.
42:06Well, let's just go for it then,
42:07shall we?
42:08We'll lock them in?
42:10Yeah.
42:14Carrying over
42:15just two coins
42:16from Tokyo,
42:17the results of this challenge
42:18will determine
42:19their fate in Japan.
42:20Gentle
42:22is sheep.
42:24You got it correct.
42:27Free-spirited
42:27is horse.
42:30Almost got it.
42:31And peaceful
42:32is rabbit.
42:38Perfectionist
42:39is rooster.
42:43Wrong.
42:45And honest
42:45is boar.
42:49You got that one right.
42:52Congratulations.
42:53Thank you very much.
42:54You earned two points.
42:55Just like last time.
42:57Consistency.
42:58Well, we did our best.
43:00Could be better, but...
43:01Maybe we stand a chance.
43:04We're disappointed
43:05with the result.
43:06We didn't come to any
43:07disagreements between us.
43:11You know,
43:11we just have to wait
43:12and see and hope
43:12that somebody else
43:13did really badly.
43:19having done
43:22everything they can
43:24in Kyoto,
43:24all six teams
43:25must now come together
43:27to discover
43:27which cross-generational
43:29duo
43:29will be sent home.
43:33Oh, gosh.
43:35This is already
43:36making me feel
43:37a bit sick.
43:38With joint fewest coins
43:39rolling over from Tokyo,
43:41Tony and Emma
43:41are the first to arrive,
43:43unaware of their
43:44rival's results.
43:45I'm feeling really nervous.
43:47How about the coin count?
43:48Yeah.
43:49The wallet looks very full.
43:52Julie and Tende
43:53are next to show their hand,
43:55adding two more coins
43:56to the five they won
43:57in their first challenge.
43:59Let's hope this good luck
44:00charm comes into play.
44:01Followed by Val and Aaron
44:03with a total of eight.
44:05Uh-oh.
44:08Barbara and Katie
44:09with seven
44:09and Colin and Charlotte
44:11with six.
44:12The final pair
44:17to reveal their coins
44:18are Rosie and Lawrence.
44:22Slightly nervous,
44:23but ever hopeful.
44:25Everything rests on you
44:26for us.
44:28We never know
44:28what's going to happen,
44:29you know?
44:31One.
44:36Two.
44:37Two.
44:37Two.
44:37Two.
44:42Three.
44:45Three.
44:47When Lawrence and Rosie
44:48pulled out that third coin,
44:49my heart sunk
44:50and I started feeling
44:51that my eyes
44:51kind of tear up a bit.
44:52I was like,
44:53this is real.
44:54We are going home.
44:56Four.
44:57Oh, well done.
44:59Well done.
45:01Well done.
45:02You've done brilliant.
45:05I don't want to cry
45:07on camera.
45:08I wasn't expecting
45:14to get as emotional
45:15as I got,
45:16to be honest.
45:16I know I thought I'd cry.
45:19It hurt a lot more
45:19than I thought
45:20it was going to.
45:22Sorry, mate.
45:24Disappointing
45:24because we've had
45:25such a great time.
45:26I think it must be
45:27the hardest
45:27to be the first to go.
45:29I mean,
45:29Emma's a sweetheart.
45:30She is.
45:30Tony's a nice guy.
45:32But we knew
45:32someone had to go home.
45:34It sounds
45:35that I'm patronising them,
45:36but I felt sorry
45:38for them.
45:38Yeah,
45:39it must be hard.
45:41You know,
45:41we've had an amazing
45:42experience.
45:43Definitely an adventure
45:43of a lifetime.
45:45Tony's been so nice
45:46to me.
45:46He says he's proud
45:47of me and stuff
45:47like that.
45:48And honestly,
45:48it means the world
45:49to me just to hear
45:50that.
45:50And I just hope
45:51the future brings
45:53you success
45:54and happiness.
45:57You deserve it.
45:58I hope the same
45:58for you too.
46:00I love you so much,
46:01Tony.
46:01Thank you for
46:02it so much.
46:05Next time,
46:05the treasure hunt
46:07continues in Hiroshima.
46:09Barbara,
46:10what have we got
46:10ourselves into?
46:11It's a surprise,
46:13yeah.
46:13But as the competition
46:14gets tougher...
46:15If they don't know,
46:17then we're done for.
46:18And the threat
46:19of being sent home
46:20looms larger...
46:22Oh, Jesus Christ.
46:23Cracks in the
46:24generational divide
46:25begin to show.
46:27I feel like I'm
46:28really letting you down.
46:29I feel so sorry.
