00:17This is it. Let's go.
00:20Where's your step? Imagine going down here on your skateboard, lad.
00:24This way. Bridge, bridge, bridge.
00:30Is this the way? Yeah.
00:34Let's go. Check every side of the street.
00:37If you check the left, I've got the right.
00:41Busy, isn't it?
00:44This way. There we go, Joe. That's it.
00:49Hello, my mate. Please sign in.
00:52Ready?
00:54The last. Oh, your luck.
00:57Hold on. Let's see times.
00:59There's still a whole day ahead.
01:01It is annoying. We've lost our second place.
01:04We're really, really going to have to try and do something different.
01:07Next leg, we need to bump up our communication.
01:10I feel like you sometimes get a bit too relaxed.
01:12You might need to get on the tyre management.
01:15Yeah. Always room for improvement.
01:18A late check-in leaves the boys now trailing in fourth place by seven hours and more than 24 hours
01:25behind the race leaders.
01:27We've got an awful lot of catching up to do.
01:29It can't stay like this. No.
01:41The only city in the world that wakes up on two continents.
01:46Istanbul is a crossroads of civilization.
01:51At the meeting point of two continental plates, where a succession of empires have created its Roman streets, Byzantine walls
02:00and Ottoman courtyards.
02:04This is a palace of Suleiman the Magnificent.
02:06Right.
02:07Who is, that's one of the most famous sultans.
02:10Right, okay.
02:10And he produced some incredible architecture.
02:13It's beautiful. It's so grand.
02:15Can you imagine the number of stone masons it would take to actually carve all this?
02:20All these incredible columns.
02:22Wow, look at that.
02:24I love the marble.
02:25It's all this polychromatic stonework.
02:27You know, all these different coloured stones.
02:29Polychromatic?
02:29Polychromatic, yeah.
02:30Yeah.
02:32Loving having Mark a bit of architecture.
02:34Him and Daddy are able to kind of geek out together.
02:37Me and Margot are a wee bit more like, oh, it's so pretty.
02:40I assume we're going to go east, which I'm looking forward to.
02:43I'm rekindling my youth in a way.
02:45Well, I'm doing it in a different way.
02:47Yeah.
02:48As an older person, I'm ticking off things that I've never done before.
02:52And part of me goes all the time and goes, why have I not done these before?
02:56I'm just so excited to see what we do next.
02:59I'm ready to get out there and go for it.
03:02As two teams reflect...
03:06Like three, here we come.
03:09Hello, good morning.
03:11Hello.
03:12Frontrunners Katie and Harrison are ready to race.
03:18The team that arrives in fifth place will be eliminated from the race.
03:25I mean, I'm glad we've got quite a big lead, but it can just go like that, can't it?
03:29With one or two bad days.
03:30Yes.
03:31Your third checkpoint is Alfeti.
03:34Okay.
03:35Do you know what that is?
03:35That's a clue.
03:37Sounds Turkish.
03:38See, it sounds Greek, but that wouldn't make sense, wouldn't it?
03:41That would not make sense.
03:42Better find out where Alfeti is ASAP.
03:44Let's go.
03:48Hi, guys.
03:48Sorry to interrupt.
03:49Does anyone know where Alfeti is?
03:51We don't know if it's in Turkey or...
03:53Alfeti is a lovely little town on the southeast.
03:57Right over here.
03:57Southeast, right over there.
03:58Yeah, on the border.
04:02From Turkey's European edge to its far southeastern frontier, teams must cross almost the entire breadth of the country to
04:11reach Alfeti.
04:13Once a thriving Assyrian settlement, now submerged beneath the famous Euphrates River, following the construction of the Berejik Dam in
04:22the year 2000.
04:25A lone minaret pierces the turquoise waters, a haunting reminder of what was lost beneath a limestone gorge that endures.
04:36Right.
04:37We are here.
04:38We need to get to here.
04:41Gazianta seems the main, like, transport hole around there.
04:44So it's just aiming for there, really.
04:46It's a long way away.
04:47Oh, it is.
04:49To get there, teams can strike out across the vast central plateau,
04:53of Anatolia, catching their first glimpse of the old Silk Road,
04:58where tradition runs deep and transport moves swiftly.
05:02Or they can head south along the popular Mediterranean coast,
05:06utilising the established but costly connections.
05:11Something that I've always wanted to do is to go to Cappadocia.
05:15There's hot air balloons there, and it's been on, like, my bucket list forever.
05:18That's just, like, a non-negotiable for me.
05:20We do have a bit of a lead, and I know you're still a bit worried about it because of
05:26the elimination,
05:26but at the end of the day, it is over 31 hours to fifth place.
05:32Taking charge, Katie plots a scenic detour through the region of Cappadocia,
05:37known for its towering rock formations.
05:42Hello, yeah, Cappadocia.
05:44Cappadocia, no.
05:45This is Cappadocia.
05:48I don't think it's going to be as simple as our previous legs.
05:53This strategy, this route, it's going against how I probably truly feel.
05:57And the fact that we're going a little bit out of the way, it's just, like, eating me up inside.
06:01But we're doing the hot air balloon no matter what.
06:04Like, if the route itself is costing us maybe 12, 24 hours,
06:07and then we get unlucky with some buses, then who knows?
06:10It could throw us all the way off.
06:11Shall we just stick with our plan?
06:15Right, erm, can we get two tickets to Escogier?
06:20Yeah, today.
06:22Perfect.
06:23OK.
06:24Harrison's obviously got anxious over nothing.
06:26If you can't enjoy yourself with a 31-hour lead, you're never going to enjoy yourself.
06:31He says he's going to enjoy himself after the elimination, but you won't.
06:36I'm not having it.
06:37It's very exciting.
06:39Let's see how it goes.
06:47Hello.
06:48Hi there, ma'am.
06:4914 hours behind...
06:51Our pleasure.
06:52...Huja and Roshni.
06:54Your third checkpoint is Hal Fetty.
06:59Where the hell is that?
07:00No idea.
07:01It's near Gaziantep, city of Turkey.
07:05So we're staying in Turkey.
07:06No crossing borders this time.
07:08Oh, yes.
07:11Oh.
07:12The team that arrives in fifth place will be eliminated from the race.
07:17That just made my heart sick.
07:18We can't be fifth.
07:19No, we cannot be fifth.
07:22We do want to make sure we're moving tonight.
07:24There's the elimination round and, you know, we don't want to go home.
07:28Last leg, we worked really hard to catch up with Katie and Harrison.
07:31So we just need to make sure we keep that lead.
07:35Shall we go sit?
07:36Here, there's seating here.
07:38Okay.
07:39I'm going to get the map out as well.
07:40Yes.
07:42So, we go coastal.
07:44Yeah.
07:44Or we go inland.
07:46It's your birthday, you decide.
07:48Whoa.
07:49That's not fair.
07:50It's your birthday present.
07:51Enjoy.
07:52I have no idea.
07:53I have no idea.
07:55The pros of going coastal, it's pretty much a tourist hub.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Given this is the elimination, we go for what seems to be a safer route, potentially.
08:05I agree with you.
08:07We can go head south to help in the Territory Rehabilitation Centre.
08:11What do you think?
08:12It's quite satisfying.
08:13It would be very satisfying.
08:14If we get some good karma.
08:15And that good karma will get us to a checkpoint.
08:18Quick.
08:20Balancing a reliable route with a natural instinct to volunteer, they opt to head south to Ortaja
08:26before a dart along the coast.
08:30Hi, we wanted to get to Ortaka, Dalian.
08:34Are there any going tonight?
08:35Tomorrow night.
08:37Tomorrow night is going to put us really far behind.
08:40We have to get a bus tonight.
08:42Mm-hm.
08:42We could go back down to Izmir.
08:44And we know it's such a big hub there.
08:45Yeah.
08:46Is there a bus to Izmir tonight?
08:49In the morning?
08:50We have to make a quick decision.
08:52Otherwise, we're looking for a hostel tonight.
08:54I would rather do something positive.
08:56So let's go to Izmir.
08:58What do you think?
08:58Yeah.
09:00In a bid to get on the move, the cousins plan to retrace their steps back to Izmir, a detour
09:07of nearly 500 kilometres westwards.
09:12I couldn't think of a better way to spend my birthday, getting a bus at 3 a.m.
09:24I've got our transport boat tonight.
09:26I think this just puts us in a really strong position.
09:28And it means we get the whole day just to explore.
09:34300 kilometres south-east of Istanbul.
09:38Eskisha here.
09:40With Onward Travel booked to take them further inland...
09:44Ah! River!
09:46Gondas!
09:47Oh, God.
09:49Sorry!
09:52Katie and Harrison sample an alternative mode of transport.
09:56What a wonderful way to see a new place.
09:59It's quite a peaceful city.
10:01We're having a peaceful day.
10:02Isn't it?
10:02It's a lot of calm in Istanbul.
10:04Maybe we should start implementing one chill race day per leg.
10:07Hush.
10:08Hush now.
10:09This modern city dates as far back as 1000 BC.
10:13But in more modern times, revitalisation along the Pursuk River
10:17has earned it the title the Venice of Turquia.
10:23I've got to be honest.
10:24He's not pushing very hard.
10:26There's an engine rattling under me.
10:29We're on a barge with a...
10:32We're on an open-top barge.
10:35Yeah.
10:35But it feels authentic.
10:37It does as we go past a Burger King and a Starbucks.
10:40We are in true Turkey.
10:44When people say they're going travelling, I always hear it as a bit of a cop-out.
10:48I just see travelling as an extended holiday.
10:52Sure, I'll go on holiday for a week or whatever.
10:54And even then, I find that concept of spending such a large amount of money in such a short period
10:59of time on something that provides no real return.
11:02Weirdly odd.
11:03Doing the race is going to be quite the contradiction to who I am.
11:07But I'd like to see if it changes my current mindset.
11:12I think it is a thing that all gondola men have to be at heart.
11:15I think you have to be tall that I can answer.
11:17I think so too.
11:18I think I fit tall.
11:20You're not even that tall.
11:24This is the crossing between east and west, isn't it?
11:27This is Mr Bosphorus going up to the Black Sea.
11:29We're leaving Europe and we're going to Central Asia.
11:32Welcome to Central Asia.
11:34Third to leave the checkpoint.
11:36We're going to have to cover some really big distances and we're going to have to cover them fast.
11:40Mark and Margo.
11:42Priority for this leg is staying in the race.
11:45Absolutely, yeah.
11:46So we've kind of committed to the big city.
11:48Yes, we have.
11:49For the sake of speed.
11:50I know nothing about Ankara apart from it was formed as a capital after 1923.
11:55It's not a tourist destination.
11:57It's a political capital of the country.
11:59We're going more with the authentic Turkey rather than the more tourist hubs, so we have taken that risk.
12:05But we think our strategy is going to work.
12:07This is elimination leg.
12:08You know, someone is going home.
12:10It's not going to be us.
12:12Utilising central cities for fast connections, the next eight hours on the road will take them directly to Ankara by
12:19nightfall.
12:20So we've covered a phenomenal distance race-wise.
12:24How far do you think that is?
12:25It's 453 kilometres.
12:28Oh, Mr Precise.
12:32OK, good.
12:33We know what we have to do.
12:34We know what we have to do.
12:35Absolutely.
12:3740 minutes behind.
12:39Molly, we're here.
12:40OK.
12:41And we're heading to...
12:43Jesus Christ.
12:45Father and daughter duo, Andrew and Molly.
12:48Can you help?
12:48Can you point it out?
12:50No?
12:52Any help?
12:53Kind of looks like you don't know.
12:56What about going to Antalya, which is down this southern coast?
13:00All right?
13:01It's a huge city in Turkey.
13:02Huge amount of visitors going through it.
13:04Yeah.
13:04So then a huge amount of English-speaking people as well that gave us a hand.
13:08And then we could shoot across to Adana.
13:10I'm just petrified of elimination.
13:12We need to be fast.
13:13The fear is we are forced.
13:15Let's not pretend anything different that we are for.
13:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:18We are in danger.
13:19We are in danger.
13:19So we do need a shift.
13:21Yeah.
13:21Right, kiddo.
13:22All good.
13:22Yeah.
13:23Antalya, here we come.
13:25I always say to my children, you go in to win it, you go in to do the best you
13:28can.
13:29And the best we can will be to get to Mongolia.
13:32Mongolia is the end game.
13:33Getting eliminated in Turkey is not the end game.
13:36The pressure is that I want to fulfil the journey.
13:38I want to fulfil the potential.
13:40Could you tell us, please, the next bus to...
13:43Antalya.
13:443 o'clock.
13:453 o'clock.
13:45Yeah, at the antilocation at 5.30 in the morning.
13:49Perfect.
13:51Very pleased with our rich choice.
13:53We've actually booked a 14-hour bus straight to the Mediterranean coast.
13:56So going from one side of Turkey to the other, very happy, very happy.
14:00As they charge to the coastline...
14:04Oh, bless you.
14:07OK, so we figure out the next bus.
14:10Pooja and Roshni have gone west to Izmir.
14:13We know this place now.
14:15Are you ready to see the ticket office of dreams?
14:17I cannot wait.
14:18Leaving them further from the next checkpoint than when they set off.
14:23What else are these guys?
14:24Autosha?
14:252 o'clock.
14:262 o'clock.
14:28We travelled back to Izmir because last time we came here we discovered Izmir is a major transport hub that
14:33has lots of buses going everywhere.
14:35So we just took the risk.
14:37Let's do it.
14:37Let's do it.
14:38OK.
14:39It's important to keep moving because this is the elimination leg and me and Rosh do not want to come
14:43in fifth place.
14:44Me and Rosh are not going home.
14:50No way, there's enough fish for every single one of these.
14:53In last place, ready to get going, Johan Cush.
15:05Over a hundred ships pass through the Bosphorus Strait every day.
15:09Worcester-Waterley.
15:12This vital trade route powered the Ottoman Empire and kept Constantinople thriving through centuries of siege.
15:20And today, it's where the friends confront their own challenge.
15:25I think we need to talk battle plan.
15:27Yeah, we need to change up our strategy because we're doing something wrong.
15:30We are behind by a significant amount, lad.
15:33From what I can gauge, we're pretty good in terms of budget.
15:36So I think we should just sacrifice the budget because there's no point in getting out with £1.5,000.
15:42I think we should blow out as much money as we need to on taxis and don't be shy.
15:46I just don't want to be last.
15:48The fact is we've dropped in second place to fifth place.
15:51The elimination is scary.
15:53We have to deliver every single day.
15:55And it is possible that we do crack on the pressure.
15:59We are not getting eliminated.
16:01I've told my mum not coming home till it's over, so...
16:04I'll see you then.
16:07We're best getting home, lad.
16:09All right, we need to go fast because I don't want to be stuffing Istanbul.
16:12We're getting out of Istanbul tonight.
16:14We need to find overnight transport.
16:16Winning is our priority.
16:19Everything else in second.
16:20We want to win.
16:21We want to do the very best we can for our mums.
16:24Ah, sick, lad.
16:26Travel agents.
16:26We'll ask them.
16:28Is there a direct tonight to Alanya?
16:31Yeah, yeah.
16:31Seven...
16:34Taxi.
16:35Hello.
16:36My mum has shown so much strength because we've gone through a lot.
16:40So, her still working every week, male on the table, looking after me and my brothers,
16:45shows what a superhero she is.
16:48Ready to jump out, Joe?
16:49Yeah.
16:50No.
16:50We don't want to just coast through.
16:51We're going to absolutely graft to show we can do it.
16:54Excuse me.
16:56Excuse me.
16:567.30 to Alanya.
16:57Today?
16:58Yes.
16:597.40.
17:03Planning to hit the coastline tonight, Joe and Kush's sprint to Alanya has stalled.
17:10We've missed the bus that we tried to get, so now we've gone through the next soonest,
17:15which is an entire hour and a half later.
17:17So, we're really pissed because we need to be making up an hour and a half, not losing
17:20it.
17:21God, this is so bad.
17:23We can't afford to make any mistakes and we've already made one.
17:26So, it's just, we've just got to get back on our feet, get moving again.
17:31I don't get it.
17:32What are we doing wrong?
17:44The modern capital of Ankara.
17:49The heart of Turkish politics since 1923.
17:53Now a hub of commerce and industry.
17:56Yet, centuries ago, it thrived on a different kind of exchange.
18:01Silk Road merchants gathered here in caravanser eyes.
18:04Stone inns that offered shelter as they traded silk, spice and tales of distant lands.
18:11What drinks would you like?
18:13Tea or tea?
18:14Tea?
18:15It's British tea.
18:16We love a cup of tea.
18:17You love your tea and we love our tea, don't we?
18:20Some still stand today, like Bourga Cafe, where Mark and Margot have picked up a
18:26shift.
18:27Gentlemen.
18:29Helping Chef Umut with the lunchtime rush.
18:32Do you want me to spin this?
18:34Yeah.
18:34Yeah.
18:36I never realised that making a salad was so complicated.
18:39This is the most difficult job in the kitchen.
18:43I'm not by myself, it's quite difficult to have a variety.
18:47I cooked something that will last me three days.
18:50Because I'm retired.
18:51I've stopped working.
18:52You're not?
18:53Yes.
18:53Yes.
18:55How old are you?
18:5666.
18:5766.
18:59How's it going, Mark?
19:02He's full of his bromance.
19:04How's it going, Mark?
19:05Brilliant.
19:06Are you enjoying yourself?
19:07Yes, I am.
19:07Is that salad ready yet?
19:09It's on its way.
19:10It's on its way.
19:12He's in his element and the two of them in the kitchen.
19:14Thinking they're Gordon Ramsay.
19:17That's a very good salad.
19:18That is.
19:19When I'm in England, I play football all the time.
19:22Veteran.
19:23No, no.
19:24We're young people.
19:25I play football also.
19:28So what position did you play?
19:29Middle.
19:30Oh, you're a midfielder?
19:31Yeah, midfield, yes.
19:32I remember the old football player in England.
19:36Basco and Renéquer.
19:37Exactly, yes.
19:38Kerry King.
19:38Yeah.
19:39Yeah.
19:40Left to his own devices, Mark could get set in his ways.
19:44But I hope Mark starts to feel really free.
19:48Because if you've been in a relationship for over 40 years,
19:51where you've been a very devoted partner,
19:54and then you suddenly, you know, you have a new life,
19:58he's discovering himself.
20:01You know, it was 23 when they started to go out,
20:03and now it's like he's 23 again, discovering the world.
20:07Oh, thank you.
20:08Thank you so much.
20:09There's a sense of a spring awakening,
20:11and I think that's really wonderful.
20:14To the train station.
20:16To the train station.
20:19Tickets.
20:19Ticket office.
20:20Sticking to the strategy to cover ground quickly
20:23by city hopping through central Turquia...
20:26Two tickets.
20:27To Konya.
20:27Mark and Margo are heading to the spiritual city of Konya,
20:31only two hours away by high-speed train.
20:355.40.
20:36Not so bad.
20:37You happy with that?
20:38Yes.
20:39Fine.
20:41Next stop, Konya.
20:43Next stop, Konya.
20:47We're not going to be eliminated.
20:49We're staying in this race, and we're shooting for the stars.
20:53If we're going to race, let's race all out.
21:03Oh, look, there's one there, sleeping.
21:05Oh, it's huge!
21:08650 kilometres to the south-west...
21:10It looks so cute!
21:13Pooja and Roshni have reached Istazu Beach.
21:18A pristine, sandy peninsula,
21:21between a freshwater river delta and the Mediterranean Sea.
21:26This protected oasis is a nesting ground
21:29for the loggerhead sea turtle.
21:32Causes of injuries, waste ingestion,
21:35intentional attacks by people.
21:38Why?
21:41Migrating thousands of kilometres to get here,
21:44not all turtles arrive unscathed.
21:48And volunteers at the Decamer Rescue Centre
21:50treat many ill and injured turtles every year.
21:54Listen, turtles are our age.
21:56I'm now 32.
21:58For medic Pooja, here to celebrate her birthday,
22:02it's a very different kind of ward round.
22:05My patient today is Dolunas.
22:06It's got a cracked jaw caused by boat.
22:1140 to 45-year-old male.
22:13Very active.
22:16Keeping its crib clean.
22:18I think this is like most wards in the hospital, to be honest.
22:22I enjoy looking after people and animals.
22:25It's a really satisfying job, which is why I love medicine so much.
22:31Small things you do can make a big difference in someone's day.
22:35There's no better feeling than that.
22:38It's nice to be able to help on this trip.
22:40I think the work these guys are doing is incredible.
22:44This has been a great way to spend my birthday.
22:47The only thing that would be really nice is just to be able to see my mum, sister and my
22:52husband.
22:53Yeah, it's just hard not to speak to them.
22:57That's done pretty much, right?
22:59Just lit in some shade.
23:00Yeah.
23:01There's ER snacks.
23:03Water's super green.
23:05Very pretty though.
23:07Are you happy we went here?
23:07Yeah.
23:09Yeah.
23:09This is a pretty nice birthday to spend abroad.
23:12But I think I've spent the last four birthdays without, like, Dad.
23:19So in the quiet moments like today where I would be surrounded by my family, I miss them.
23:26It's okay.
23:27When we lost Dad, all of our birthdays have just been slightly different.
23:34Like, having a card from Dad.
23:36Just Dad being present.
23:40Just seeing, like, that familiar face.
23:46And I just don't have it anymore.
23:52Sometimes it's just hard.
23:54Because you just want to hear his voice.
23:58Or just know what his opinion is.
24:00Or ask for his advice.
24:05After I finished medical school, I was working in emergency medicine.
24:09I was really loving the job.
24:11And then COVID kind of changed everything for me.
24:17In December 2021, we were just drowning in sick patients with COVID.
24:28Unfortunately, I got COVID.
24:31I was self-isolating in my room upstairs, making sure I didn't touch anything.
24:37But then Dad got unwell.
24:41Having your relative in hospital with COVID is essentially, it feels like someone basically has your heart in their hand.
24:54And it's just tearing it to pieces.
24:58It's heartbreaking when it hits you.
25:00He's not going to come back.
25:04It's just a big reminder that through all of the big moments of your life, Dad's not going to be
25:10there.
25:12I felt a lot of guilt.
25:15Because in my mind, I brought COVID home.
25:18I put him in this situation.
25:20And it was my fault.
25:21I still struggle with that.
25:25You just have periods where you need to cry out to release that tension.
25:28And then once it's gone, it's like a weight lifted off your chest.
25:31It kind of means you're dealing with your emotions as well, right?
25:34Like when it first happened, you kind of just sucked it all up.
25:38Yeah.
25:39And like, no matter what we go through in life, I know you will always be there for me if
25:43I ever needed anything.
25:45The same the other way around.
25:46It's like how you held my hand when I was trying to get my ear pierced.
25:53Rosh is my family.
25:55She knows how I'm feeling.
25:56And she's just the perfect person to kind of be a shoulder to cry on, but at the same time,
26:01like, distract me.
26:03I couldn't have asked for anyone more than what Rosh has been for me.
26:07We should probably start moving.
26:09Got some progress to make today.
26:11Yeah.
26:13I mean, we are in the middle of nowhere.
26:15The drive is fast, how Rosh has been fruitful.
26:18Desert, really.
26:20My main concern is still getting out of there.
26:22I think we'll be okay.
26:23We'll be able to get moving.
26:27Nearly 800 kilometres inland, after two days of travel to chase Katie's dream of Cappadocia,
26:34the siblings arrive into the mountainous region, poised just six hours away from the third checkpoint.
26:42Three, two, one.
26:45Welcome to Cappadocia.
26:47Oh, wow.
26:47Wow.
26:48Oh, my God.
26:50This is incredible.
26:55Look at that.
26:56Famed for its surreal volcanic landscape, where entire underground cities have been carved into the soft rock for thousands of
27:05years.
27:06It's just incredible.
27:08Like, I think it's the most stunning place I've ever been in my life.
27:11It's just nothing like you'll ever see anywhere else.
27:14Many of these old dwellings have been transformed into hotels, and tonight they will call one of them home.
27:22Oh, wow.
27:23This is beautiful.
27:25This is your cave.
27:26Wow.
27:27Wow, this is incredible.
27:28So cute.
27:28If you want to watch Balloon Flight tomorrow, around 5.45 a.m., you should wake up.
27:33We'll be there.
27:35They weren't lying, were they?
27:36It's a cave.
27:37So cool.
27:38Get that kettle on.
27:39Get the biscuits.
27:40Of course not.
27:41Oh, I'd love a custard cream with this.
27:43Mmm.
27:45Oh.
27:48Trying to find the bikes.
27:49We need to go fast.
27:51After 13 and a half hours on a bus, Joe and Kush have hit Elanya on the south coast.
27:59Mersin?
28:00Mersin?
28:00Yes.
28:02Where?
28:03And are wasting no time securing their next journey east.
28:07Our priority is still speed at the moment.
28:09We are on the move.
28:12Made it all the way down to Elanya.
28:13That's covered about half the distance.
28:15Mersin?
28:16Mersin.
28:17Yes.
28:18Fingers crossed.
28:23I'm so relieved.
28:25We're going to miss him tonight.
28:27You are so good.
28:31There's a bus at 7.45, which gets there at, like, 2 a.m.
28:36Yeah, we'll go see the water before we have to go.
28:38That'll be nice.
28:39It might not go perfect.
28:40We might still be out.
28:41But we know that we've got a chance, you know?
28:45So many cuts, isn't it?
28:47Isn't it?
28:47I love it.
28:48There's a basketball court.
28:50Don't lie to me.
28:52Oh, there there is.
28:53There's people shooting.
28:53Oh, my God.
28:54Should you go say that?
28:55Absolutely.
28:56Yo, excuse me.
28:58Can I play?
29:00Join in.
29:04Oh, my God.
29:06I can tell Joe needed this.
29:10I'd love to be as relaxed as everyone else.
29:12But I just can't focus on anything but the race right now.
29:15And it makes it hard to enjoy anything because you're so focused on racing.
29:18Even times like this where we've got a break.
29:21My mind's constantly playing over whether we're going to make it to check point in time.
29:24It's just the back of your mind 24-7.
29:26Every time you've stopped, you're thinking about what the other teams are doing.
29:29Everyone's going to be feeling the pressure.
29:30I know that we're moving fast.
29:32But I don't know if fast is fast enough.
29:34I just don't know what we're going to do if we have to go home earlier.
29:39I'm nervous, man.
29:41I think it's going to be a real close one.
29:42And I just got to hope that it's in our favour.
29:48No.
29:55What a beautiful spot.
29:57Your mum would love this.
29:58Sure.
30:00135 kilometres west and also on the coast, Andrew and Molly.
30:07It's amazing.
30:08It is fabulous, isn't it?
30:09It is Asia when you think about it.
30:11But you would swear you were in Italy, like Amalfi Coast, that kind of thing.
30:15Whereas it's Turkey. It's beautiful.
30:17Antalya, once prowled by Salesian pirates along its jagged coast until the Romans drove them out.
30:26Today, its hidden sea caves can be explored by boat from the lively marina, attracting over 17 million visitors every
30:35year.
30:36Never would have thought this part of Turkey would have been so special and so lovely and beautiful.
30:41I'm so glad I've seen it. I just don't want to go home.
30:44I really do not want to be eliminated.
30:46I would be really, really cross if we were.
30:48I would be too.
30:49I really want to go and see Mongolia.
30:51It's been brilliant and I just want to keep going.
30:53It's just been amazing to do so many firsts with you and continue to do them.
30:58And when are we going to be given the opportunity?
31:01I just think it's a really unique experience to do with your daddy, who's a teacher who never gets time
31:06off.
31:06I'm going into a job where I'm never going to get time off.
31:09I know, I know.
31:10Are you all right?
31:11No, I'm not.
31:12Do you want to go home?
31:24Do you smell the roses?
31:28They do smell.
31:29They're beautiful.
31:32It's such a laid back city.
31:34What a contrast with yesterday.
31:35You do feel you're off the tourist track.
31:38Yes.
31:38Well, I think they might be tourists because of Rumi, but not Western tourists.
31:43Sitting in the largest province in Turkey,
31:46Konya is the spiritual home of Islamic scholar and Sufi mystic Rumi,
31:52one of the most widely read poets in the world.
31:56It's a very important huge tomb.
31:59I've never seen anything like this before.
32:02It's very ornate, isn't it?
32:03It's amazing.
32:05After his death in the 13th century, a Selçuk Sultan built a mausoleum here.
32:11It's got a nice feel to it.
32:12It's got a nice scale about it.
32:14I really, really like it.
32:15I like it a lot.
32:16And it has become a site of pilgrimage for all faiths, drawn to his message of love and unity.
32:24Crossing Europe, you never had a feeling in the Silk Road.
32:26But now, racing across Turkey, we have got the feeling.
32:29We really have.
32:30And coming here has reinforced that.
32:33It's got a kind of mystical feel, hasn't it?
32:35It kind of looks modern as well, though, the design up there, don't you think?
32:39Rule rashly.
32:41The actual journey for Mark and I has only just begun.
32:45Wow.
32:46The foundation is fabulous, but I think the enjoyment and joy we're having can expand.
32:53You don't want to go home, do you?
32:54I'm not ready to go home.
33:01Nice playing basketball. Reminded me of home.
33:03Shall we go see if our bus is there for us to put our bags on and then we can
33:06relax?
33:06Joe and Kush have returned to Alanya bus station to board their overnight bus that will take them 330 kilometres
33:15along the coast.
33:18Mersin? Mersin? Mersin?
33:23Mersin?
33:23Mersin?
33:24Mersin, yeah.
33:25We don't know where the bus is.
33:28Not here.
33:29Not here?
33:30Yes.
33:32This bus is meant to be leaving in 15 minutes.
33:35Come on, come on, come on, come on.
33:36Please let this be ours.
33:37That's us, that's us.
33:39No.
33:39Oh, this could be bad.
33:42But the bus they have tickets for is proving hard to locate.
33:46We don't want to go home.
33:47So everything now is about time, not money.
33:50And I hope the other teams are relaxed a little bit.
33:52Mersin?
33:53Mersin?
33:55No, we have ticket.
33:57This, Mersin?
33:58This?
33:59No.
34:00No, where?
34:02You don't know?
34:03Ah, shit.
34:04Joe, not this one.
34:05Do you speak English?
34:07No English.
34:07Any English?
34:08We have constantly been moving.
34:11We are going as fast as physically possible.
34:13We are begging.
34:16Okay, okay.
34:17This one?
34:18It better be right.
34:19Mersin?
34:20Mersin.
34:20This way?
34:21Yes, Vavo.
34:22Yes, Vavo.
34:24Yes.
34:25Yes.
34:27This language barrier is so hard, lad.
34:31I have this bus at a toilet.
34:32I have just drunk loads of water.
34:38What time is it?
34:405.45?
34:41Let's go.
34:43Okay.
34:45Wow.
34:47Look at this.
34:48This is perfect.
34:54Look at them over there, Wolf.
34:56Look around.
34:59Oh, this is going to be good.
35:00I'm so excited.
35:01Rising at dawn above Cappadocia's otherworldly landscape.
35:08Up to 150 hot air balloons.
35:12Riding the region's uniquely stable air currents.
35:18A daily wonder seen nowhere else on Earth.
35:22Oh, the sky is filling.
35:23I don't think I've ever seen anything more beautiful or so cool in my life.
35:29A ritual started in the 1980s by renowned Turkish aviation pioneer, Bilge Ezel,
35:37with just a single balloon.
35:39Today, hundreds of thousands of visitors witness the spectacle from land and sky every year.
35:47Wow.
35:48It's gorgeous.
35:53It feels very much once in a lifetime.
35:58It's really cool, isn't it?
36:00It's probably the most unique thing I've ever seen.
36:03I'm glad we've done it.
36:05Oh, that's good.
36:06Because I had a lot of doubt when you were skeptical coming here.
36:10I'm glad you're glad.
36:11For me, this makes it all worth it.
36:13No, it's the best decision we've made so far.
36:16That is crazy. It's so close.
36:19Oh, my God.
36:24If we can finish the race, whilst doing stuff like this along the way, then that would just be perfect.
36:30Yeah.
36:31It would have been criminal to miss this.
36:34The realization has been that I do need to experience things.
36:39I'm hoping this race changes my outlook on life so that I can switch into the way I feel now
36:45and enjoy the moments like everyone else seems to be able to.
36:49I'm going to be on an absolute high, not all day, all week from this.
36:53Yeah. I'm sure I'll remember this.
36:56And then after this, we can race as hard as you want and I'll do whatever you want to do.
37:04I think the bus station's up there.
37:05No, Daddy, bus station that way.
37:07Oh, I see it. All right.
37:07Two hundred and fifty kilometres south in Adana, Andrew and Molly.
37:13Hiya. We are looking to go to...
37:15Gazzatea.
37:16Gazzatea.
37:17As early as possible.
37:20Gaziantep is the last major city before the checkpoint.
37:24Every team must pass through here before reaching Halfeti.
37:29One on the eight o'clock.
37:31Perfect. Perfect. Good.
37:33Our strategy has been to get as far down the leg as quick as possible.
37:37So we're maybe covered about 1,300 kilometres already.
37:40We've done an awful lot of travelling.
37:41I think it should give us an opportunity to maybe earn a bit of money in Adana.
37:46It looks huge.
37:48Elimination is just always in your head.
37:50But we have to think long game.
37:51We have to think about getting to Mongolia.
37:56Lying in the fertile Chukarova plain and brimming with local produce,
38:01the diverse city of Adana is a culinary hotspot,
38:05famous for its rich, spicy dishes,
38:08all influenced by Turkish, Greek and Arabian flavours.
38:12Never worked in hospitality industry in my life, so this is the first.
38:15Another one of my first on this trip, so really delighted.
38:20Andrew and Molly have secured a shift at a busy local eatery.
38:26Known for the much-loved local speciality, Shirdan.
38:31Oh!
38:32Oh, right, OK.
38:33Oh, I don't know about that.
38:34What is it?
38:35It seems to be some sort of sausage.
38:37It's a bit phallic.
38:41It doesn't look to be my cup of tea.
38:44Made from the fourth stomach of a sheep.
38:46Ah!
38:48OK.
38:49Stuffed with spiced rice...
38:51Hello.
38:52Is this for you?
38:53..stitched, closed and boiled in a broth.
38:56Over you go, Molly.
38:58Shirdan is so popular that over 20,000
39:01have been known to be eaten in any given night.
39:05It looked interesting.
39:07It's the best way to describe it.
39:09Think of it as what you will.
39:11Answers on a postcard to what they are.
39:13Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
39:17Evening rush over.
39:19I've never been treated this well at work.
39:21Everyone's getting Shirdan but I'm getting a staff meal
39:24and it's lovely.
39:25Shirdan?
39:26You eat Shirdan?
39:28Mm-hm.
39:28Yeah, yeah.
39:30Do you want tea?
39:31Oh, lovely.
39:33Oh, wow.
39:34Pull the rope.
39:36Pull the rope.
39:36OK, yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:40Look at the size of it.
39:42So nervous.
39:44And cut?
39:44Yes.
39:46OK, you ready?
39:47No.
39:49Yeah.
39:54Very nice.
39:55That's lovely.
39:56Really nice.
40:02Just an hour behind, Joe and Kush.
40:05Hey, could we have room for tonight?
40:07Having started in last position...
40:09All right, thank you.
40:10..their push for speed has put them back in the running,
40:13reaching Mersin within striking distance of the checkpoint.
40:19Hey, help to pay.
40:21We're all going to get to the checkpoint straight away tomorrow.
40:23We're all going to leave here and be pretty much direct.
40:27The checkpoint?
40:28Yep.
40:29We think the final sprint might mean everything,
40:32being in or out of this next leg and Mongolia.
40:40You guys know any English?
40:42Could you help me book a taxi?
40:45Yes.
40:46Tomorrow morning, we have to go.
40:50Gaziantep.
40:51Gaziantep, OK.
40:52Thank you, my friend.
40:52We've got an idea to taxi as much as we can
40:55because it feels like the most reliable, quickest
40:57or most expensive option.
40:58And I think every minute is going to make a difference.
41:03We pay how much?
41:05Yeah.
41:07Can we do...
41:0810,000.
41:10That's like 200, right?
41:12Yes?
41:12Yes.
41:13What the fuck?
41:14200 pounds.
41:15A taxi to accelerate their race will cover 300 kilometres.
41:20Thank you, bro.
41:21But will leave a sizeable dent in their budget.
41:2322, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8.
41:26So you've got 1,200, period, for the rest of the race.
41:301,000, how much?
41:311,200.
41:34That means our budget will be so tight.
41:38But if it gets us 4th, please.
41:41No.
41:43This is our one-time get-out-of-jail-free card.
41:46We're going to do whatever it takes to stay in
41:47and face the repercussions when we get to it.
41:51God.
41:52This is expensive.
41:54Hi.
41:54We are trying to find a cheap place to stay in Antalya,
41:59near this bus station.
42:00Do you know anywhere?
42:02To the west...
42:04There is a hotel sign.
42:05I think we just go ahead.
42:06OK.
42:07Pooja and Roshni's plan to press on towards the checkpoint
42:10has hit a stumbling block.
42:12We asked about buses tonight,
42:14but unfortunately there wasn't anything available.
42:16It gives the other teams time to patch up.
42:19Starting the leg in second place,
42:21the cousins are unaware their delay
42:23and Antalya has pushed them to the back of the pack,
42:26with their fate now hanging in the balance.
42:29Shall we just quickly go ask?
42:31Do you want to, yeah?
42:34Hi.
42:35Today I would have liked to have been closer to checkpoint.
42:40Being stagnant for a night is difficult.
42:43How much is it?
42:451,000.
42:46OK.
42:50I don't feel like we are last,
42:53but I...
42:54I'm not sure that we still have the lead that we had beforehand.
42:58At least the AC's not directly on our head.
43:01No.
43:02Katie and Harrison are probably making moves onto...
43:07Checkpoint.
43:09Are you excited, Katie?
43:10Yeah.
43:12Not long. You?
43:12Yeah, can't wait. Let's do it.
43:14Let's find out our fate.
43:19I'm not liking how quiet everywhere's looking.
43:22No, it's pretty decilent.
43:27A viewing platform lies behind Rumkale Castle,
43:30travel by boat to locate the book and sign it.
43:32What the...
43:34Built into sheer limestone cliffs on the outskirts of town,
43:38and accessible only by boat,
43:40the formidable fortress of Rumkale Castle.
43:44Rumkale?
43:45Rumkale?
43:46Rumkale Castle?
43:46Yeah, we're going now.
43:48This one.
43:49This one.
43:49The location of the third checkpoint,
43:52where only the first four teams to arrive
43:55will remain in the race.
43:58Oh, my God, that's so cool.
44:00Oh, wow.
44:01How did we start our day in a cave in Cappadocia?
44:05With the balloons.
44:06And that ended up with this.
44:07And that ended up with this.
44:08Best day of my life.
44:10Staying about a bus for seven hours.
44:1150-50.
44:13That's it, isn't it?
44:14Yeah, that's going to be it.
44:15That is a viewing platform if I've ever seen a viewing platform.
44:20There it is.
44:21The book.
44:22Get there.
44:23The book.
44:27Oh, my God.
44:29We've done it again.
44:32God, how are we doing this?
44:35Yes.
44:35Yes.
44:36Well done.
44:37Not eliminated.
44:40The relief of not coming fifth trumps the coming first.
44:44We were able to race as efficient as usual
44:49and experience things,
44:50so really happy we were able to pull that balance off
44:53and I hope to apply that to all the future legs.
44:58We don't know if it's as efficient as usual just yet.
45:01Got to wait until everyone else signs in.
45:02Well, as a Harrison,
45:03we said as long as we're not fifth, we're happy.
45:06I'm going to wind you up.
45:08We're staying till Mongolia!
45:18I'm ready.
45:19The four remaining teams have no idea of their relative race position.
45:24We need to move before we stretch out a little bit.
45:27This is our checkpoint.
45:29As they push forward to avoid elimination.
45:32We're definitely making it through elimination.
45:35Big day. Big day, kid.
45:37None of us are safe.
45:39Don't say things like that or I'll get sick.
45:41And a bit of an upset stomach from the Sheridan last night.
45:49I can't find these socks.
45:51You bugger something.
45:52Come on, get a gun.
45:54Arriving into Gaziantep,
45:56fresh off a night bus,
45:58Mark and Margot are closest to the checkpoint.
46:02We need to get out to Halfeti.
46:04How much a taxi?
46:077,000 in a taxi.
46:09Yes.
46:10We're not going taxi.
46:12This is the shuttle bus that goes to Halfeti.
46:14That one there.
46:15Yes.
46:16So, two options.
46:17Taxi or shuttle bus.
46:19Taxi seems to be incredibly expensive.
46:22Or we can wait two hours to six o'clock and get the shuttle bus.
46:27Bus is the best, isn't it?
46:28I think.
46:30Taxi is too expensive.
46:33The only thing is,
46:34if you're eliminated,
46:35the budget's no use anyway.
46:37But if you put on your budget now on a taxi,
46:40you'll never get to the end.
46:42OK?
46:42It'll be the first shuttle bus you can get.
46:46A bit deflating though, isn't it?
46:48I was ready to go, go, go.
46:52Let's go.
46:55300 kilometres behind,
46:57Joe and Kush.
46:59So stressful, man.
47:01I'll stick to the plan.
47:03Who are spending 10% of their budget on taxis.
47:0920 years now, I can see them right now.
47:11I'm not going home with over a grant in my pocket.
47:14As long as you keep that in your head,
47:15we'll get there.
47:17It will be heartbreaking to go out.
47:18Yeah.
47:19I hope this is the difference between us making it
47:21and all the teams waiting for a bus right now.
47:24This is fast.
47:25This is good.
47:35I just want to go now, Mark.
47:37Go, go, go.
47:38I know you do.
47:39I know you do.
47:39You know I do.
47:40Oh.
47:49It seems so stupid, but I didn't realize yesterday was our potential last day.
47:53Last day, I know.
47:54En route to Gaziantep, after stopping to work the night before, Andrew and Molly.
48:01The head scrambles at the minute.
48:03It's really scrambling.
48:04Yeah.
48:05If we can get to the bus and get on it and maybe settle down,
48:08and hopefully the stomach will stop churning.
48:11I know.
48:12I just hope we don't meet anybody in Molly.
48:14If I saw the boys, I think I'd really kind of panic.
48:17Uh-huh.
48:17Just because we had six hours on them.
48:19Just really nervous.
48:21Did we do the right thing staying put last night?
48:24I would be devastated if this was over.
48:27Yeah.
48:30I feel like if our calculations are correct, we shouldn't be first.
48:35To the west, 600 kilometres behind, Pooja and Roshni.
48:42I just don't want to be last.
48:44Ideally, it would be nice if we were second or first, but not last.
48:48Yeah.
48:49Just got to pray for the best.
48:51I just want to get eliminated.
48:53I don't think we will.
48:54I don't know why, but I just have this feeling that it's not...
48:57Do you need any journeys?
48:57I feel it in my journeys.
49:00I just don't know how anyone can go faster.
49:06It's going to be tight. I think it's going to be close.
49:08We cannot go any faster whatsoever.
49:11Over in Gaziantep, a final 100km sprint to Halfeti.
49:17Back seat, yay!
49:19We're absolutely delighted to be leaving the bus station because it's been a three-hour wait.
49:24I think we're safe. I'm pretty calm.
49:27Unless someone got off the bus and got in a taxi.
49:31Quick, quick, quick. We're getting close.
49:34I think our efforts have paid off.
49:37I agree.
49:41Very nervous at the moment.
49:43Just want to get there and get to the checkpoint, Marlies, and find out our faith.
49:47I feel like I'm impending doom.
49:50Right.
49:52We are here. Halfeti.
49:57Halfeti.
50:01Find the Salenahan Spanbridge.
50:05And await further instructions.
50:08Come on, Mark. Leg it, boy.
50:12Let's do this.
50:13Just check the waterfront.
50:14Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bridge.
50:16I don't see a bridge, bro.
50:18Every second counts.
50:20OK, Marlies. Here we go. Here we go.
50:22Right, we're looking for a bridge.
50:23Right, kid, come on.
50:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
50:25Salenahan.
50:26Salenahan.
50:26English.
50:27Straight.
50:29I think this is...
50:30Is that a bridge there?
50:31Looks like a bridge.
50:32That's the bridge.
50:33Come on.
50:35Salenahan Bridge.
50:36Water.
50:37Bridge.
50:38Where?
50:39Down that way?
50:40OK, right.
50:42I think this might be a...
50:44Will it wobble?
50:46It might be.
50:47Wee!
50:48Careful, Margo.
50:49Why?
50:49You might fall over, that's why.
50:51I'm not going to fall over.
50:52Come on.
50:53A viewing platform lies beyond Rumkala Castle.
50:58Travelled by boat to locate the book and site.
51:02Well, I'm off the surge, right?
51:05Yeah, me too.
51:06Oh, you're there.
51:07I think he's there, bro.
51:09Woo!
51:10Come on, Mark.
51:12Downhill.
51:12I love running downhill.
51:14There's a bridge, Molly, in front.
51:15Yeah.
51:16Oh, leave a movement.
51:17Leave a movement.
51:17I know, I know.
51:18Just wait for me, Pat.
51:19Wait for me.
51:19This is where we get the boat.
51:21Do we get him here?
51:22Yes.
51:23No!
51:24Oh, Jesus!
51:27Master, Master!
51:28Come on!
51:29We've got a checkpoint to get to.
51:31He thinks I'm mad.
51:33You are?
51:35Woo!
51:39I am not worrying about what everyone else is doing.
51:42I guess it just depends if they did experiences that were directly en route.
51:46But, like, I was so happy we did that.
51:48It was so much fun.
51:49Yeah.
51:54We're looking for a boat, Molly.
51:58Rumkala Castle?
51:5920 euro.
52:0020 euro?
52:00Yeah.
52:01That's good.
52:02That's lovely.
52:03Cool.
52:04James Bond-type shit, love.
52:07Just looking out for any other teams.
52:09Eat dust!
52:12Come on!
52:13Vamos!
52:14Watch Turkish for Harry!
52:17Rapido, rapido!
52:20Viewing platform sounds like it's going to be high up, so I say it's going to be half a bit
52:23of an uphill sprint.
52:24Yeah, it's going to be a sprint in the hallway.
52:27That's a viewing platform.
52:29Oh, no!
52:30Oh, no!
52:32Run up that hill!
52:35It's... yeah.
52:37I don't think there's anybody coming behind us, Molly, so...
52:40We're all right, I think.
52:41Doesn't mean there's nobody in front of us.
52:42It doesn't mean exactly that we need to get ready for running, kid.
52:46Ooh!
52:46Ooh!
52:46Ooh!
52:48Okay.
52:49All right, get ready.
52:51Imagine after another team, like...
52:53That'll be funny, that.
52:55It looks like a bus might come down here.
52:57I'm not waiting for a bus.
52:59All right, ready?
53:00Let's go.
53:06We need a taxi.
53:07How much to the platform?
53:09Oh, a taxi!
53:11To there!
53:13Oh, I hate this, it's so awful.
53:19Let's do this.
53:21No!
53:22What place do you reckon we're gonna be?
53:23I guess, yeah.
53:25All right!
53:26The last sprint left.
53:28Viewing gallery.
53:29Molly, come on, come on.
53:30Yeah, you are.
53:32Ah, here we are.
53:33Where's the bar?
53:35This way!
53:43Oh, my God!
53:44Oh, my God!
53:49Okay.
53:50This is the moment.
53:51Okay.
53:52Congratulations.
53:53Success for each.
53:53Third checkpoint.
53:55Wait, wait, wait, wait.
53:56Where do you think we're gonna be?
53:57Third.
54:00Yay!
54:02Yay!
54:02Yay!
54:03Yay!
54:04Brilliant!
54:05Oh, brilliant!
54:06It's under ten hours between us and Katie and Harrison.
54:09We won't like that, will we?
54:12And what a place to be.
54:13Oh, my goodness.
54:15Stunning.
54:16Absolutely beautiful.
54:19Over the moon.
54:20Absolutely delighted.
54:21Fantastic.
54:22Avoiding illumination is just absolutely fantastic.
54:25We've done it!
54:26We've done it!
54:27I think by the end of the whole race, we'll be different people.
54:31And we don't know what that's going to be.
54:32I hope that our friendship can survive that.
54:35Put it there, man.
54:39Aw, mate, I feel sick.
54:42You ready?
54:45F***, lad!
54:46Oh, my God!
54:49It worked!
54:50It worked!
54:50Lad, we caught up so much time!
54:53I can't believe that!
54:55It's stale.
54:56I can't believe that, lad.
54:58We've learnt our lesson now.
55:00We've had that kick up the arse that maybe the other teams haven't had.
55:02We've got the motivation drive.
55:04And the realisation of what it feels like to be last.
55:07And what it feels like to be so afraid of going home.
55:09That I know that we're going to pull through for the rest of the race.
55:12Oh, my God!
55:14Aw, mate!
55:15I can't believe that!
55:19You ready?
55:29You said I needed to.
55:30I'm sorry.
55:31Yeah.
55:32Oh, my God!
55:33You don't know how to see your panic and all those emotions coming in our heads.
55:37Yeah.
55:37So, absolutely thrilled to be here.
55:39It is what it is.
55:39Amazed and can't believe it.
55:41I'm a bit lost for words, but so thrilled.
55:45So, so thrilled.
55:46Well done, well done.
55:47Yeah, well done.
55:48Oh, I'm so sorry for the girls.
55:49Oh, bless them.
55:50Oh, yeah.
56:13I'm a happy one.
56:16Oh, yeah.
56:17Yeah, yeah.
56:17I'm a happy one.
56:20Congratulations. You've successfully reached your third checkpoint.
56:24Please sign in, Overleaf.
56:26Oh, my God. We're last.
56:34I'm gutted.
56:36I genuinely thought we were in the four.
56:40I didn't think we were at risk.
56:42They zoomed through this bit of the race.
56:47It's OK, Posh.
56:50It's OK.
56:53We've had so many funny memories.
56:55Yeah.
56:55We had a great time on this leg.
56:56I think we were obsessed with the turtles there.
56:58It's just finding that balance, like when it's the elimination leg,
57:01maybe we should have just been moving faster.
57:04To be eliminated against four other brilliant groups of people,
57:07I think, it's not so bad.
57:10Like, it is what it is. Someone has to go.
57:12Yeah.
57:14We've got through it together.
57:15It's been a great laugh.
57:20You and your revolving doors.
57:22I love revolving doors.
57:23I know you do.
57:25The elimination's out of the way.
57:27The shackles are off.
57:28Bah!
57:29We need money.
57:30You don't just get given wins, you have to work for them.
57:33Oh, this is sick.
57:35No bus, no bus.
57:36No buses anywhere.
57:38Uh...
57:38Still exhausted, I'll eat it.
57:39It's OK.
57:40It's not OK.
57:42Wow.
57:43Look at this.
57:43Beautiful, isn't it?
57:45This way.
57:46Let's go.
57:47I'm not for YouTube, baby.
57:48Mustard, mate.
57:49Cheers.
