00:17It's mad to think that the mosque is under the water.
00:19I had the exact same thought. I spent too much time with you.
00:25I love it.
00:27After a 4,500km race through Europe to the south-east of Turquia,
00:34now just four teams remain.
00:37Last leg back in my view, like, elimination, elimination,
00:39so it's nice for her to go forward and not have to worry.
00:42When I just thought it wasn't us last, it was just...
00:44To be honest, it was just pure, really.
00:47That's the thing, even Pooze and Ross, like...
00:48It's just heartbreaking seeing them go...
00:50Yeah, it really does show anything can happen.
00:54Siblings Katie and Harrison are in front for the third time,
00:58but their lead has diminished to under ten hours.
01:02After opening that book and seeing Harrison go first,
01:04their time was a surprise, now they're only half the day ahead.
01:07Maybe they'll take their foot off the gas a little bit.
01:08We've got through the elimination, and now that's out of the way,
01:11our new goal is getting to Mongolia and getting that first place.
01:15I do think we are sorely creeping up on them.
01:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17Now we've got first in our head.
01:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:19It's not don't be last, it's be first.
01:21Well, we started fourth, and then we came third,
01:24now we're second, so there's only one place to go.
01:26We've got to go to number one spot.
01:28Myself and Mark, we are so lined up, ready.
01:31Sorry, guys.
01:32We've got all our ducks in a row.
01:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:34We all want to be first, don't we?
01:36Someone will have to displace Katie and Harrison and...
01:38What do you mean, someone?
01:39Someone. Us two. Us two.
01:44As three teams wait to depart...
01:47Right, shall we get going?
01:49..first to set off, race leaders Katie and Harrison.
01:54This is for you.
01:55Perfect, thank you so much.
01:57Shall we see how we're going?
02:00Tbilis, yes! I don't know how to say it.
02:02But it's where I want you to go.
02:03It's Georgia.
02:03It's Georgia.
02:04I so want you to go there.
02:06Yeah.
02:06I'm so happy.
02:07Thank you very much.
02:08Cheers, thank you.
02:09Oh, it's so good.
02:11New country.
02:12About to be unlocked.
02:18God, there is nothing here.
02:20Yeah.
02:21It's dead.
02:23Yeah.
02:24But at nearly midnight, the progress stalls immediately.
02:28We're not getting out tonight.
02:30Unless you're going to spend ridiculous money on a taxi.
02:33Nope.
02:34We're off to a bad start.
02:38Do you have a room for two people for tonight?
02:41Yeah.
02:44Race starts tomorrow.
03:00New day, new chapter of the race.
03:02Yeah.
03:03Let's hit it.
03:05Not getting our power party last night means we no longer have a ten hour lead.
03:10But I think as long as we keep them within relative touching distance, I'll be happy enough.
03:14I'm actually well buzzed with going Georgia.
03:15Why did you want to go?
03:17It's just a bit rogue, isn't it?
03:18A 1,700-kilometre journey to Georgia's capital, the fourth checkpoint, Tbilisi.
03:28Meaning warm place, legend has it that King Vaktang Gorgasali founded the city after his falcon fell into a hot
03:38spring, revealing the area's natural thermal waters.
03:43Today, those sulphur baths still steam, set against a backdrop of modern, futuristic architecture.
03:53Er, Shanlorfa?
03:55Okay.
03:55We got, yeah?
03:56Let's have it.
03:59Finally on the road, Katie and Harrison are heading to the closest transport hub, Shanlorfa.
04:05Shall we have a look at the map and see where we're going and what we've got to do?
04:08We could go all the way to the edge of Turkey and then up.
04:13But nothing's there.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Or we could go straight up from where we are to the coast.
04:19To reach Tbilisi, teams may choose to hug the Black Sea coast, a popular route for domestic tourists.
04:28But the winding coastal roads could slow progress.
04:32Or they could opt to stay inland, striking a direct route through Turkey's arid heartland.
04:39Rich in Kurdish culture, but with fewer connections.
04:44Both routes converge at the Georgian border as they navigate new terrain towards the capital.
04:52I feel like along the Black Sea you can see a lot more transport routes.
04:57Samsung looks like a pretty big city.
04:59Yeah.
04:59It would be great to do some homestays.
05:02It would be good to actually, like, integrate the local people a bit more.
05:06We haven't spent too much time with the locals so far.
05:10I am looking forward to it.
05:12I'm obviously nervous, you know, it's not a natural thing.
05:15But I do think we'll get most out of it.
05:17I'm really excited.
05:19Homestays scare me.
05:20It's just going to be awkward.
05:22But it's something we need to do in terms of, like, putting me out of my comfort zone.
05:26Yeah.
05:26And maybe, like, I'll enjoy it.
05:29Planning to sample their first homestay of the race,
05:32the siblings aim to head north towards the well-connected coast.
05:38Samsung.
05:39Two.
05:39Brilliant.
05:41We booked an overnight bus tonight, travelling the whole length of Turkey in one night,
05:47and then we can get straight to our home stay tomorrow.
05:50But there's nothing we can do until then.
05:53So, yeah, we just have to wait here most of the day.
06:02It's bringing a step today, Mark.
06:04Next to leave Halfeti.
06:06The elimination's out of the way.
06:08The shackles are off.
06:10Hypnotherapist Margot and her brother-in-law, Mark.
06:14We need to get all the way across northeast of Turkey.
06:18The direct route north up towards the Black Sea coast
06:20is probably going to be better connected and faster.
06:22I do fancy that route.
06:25I think going east is my preferred option.
06:29And I'd like to see a little bit of more rural Turkey heading towards Van.
06:35You know, we used to have two Van cats, Arnie and Keeps.
06:38Beautiful and cuddly.
06:40They had odd eyes.
06:41Very unique cats.
06:43Seeing that Van is here, I'd like to go see where they came from.
06:49No, I like the sound of that.
06:51Yeah.
06:51I do like the sound of that.
06:53He's kind of bewitched me with talk of Van.
06:56I think he's hypnotised me a bit to want to go there.
07:00Because I just went, yes, I'd like to go there.
07:02An adventure.
07:03It's an adventure.
07:04It is an adventure.
07:05Into the unknown.
07:06We've got it in us to catch up with Katie and Harrison.
07:09Whether it's a good move or not in the race, we are heading to Van.
07:13Let's do it.
07:14Let's go.
07:15Mark's feline friendly plan, make a 660km punt east to Lake Van.
07:21Do you think we can catch Katie and Harrison and do this route at the same time?
07:25I've got a good feeling about it, a really good feeling about it.
07:29Straight to the bus station.
07:31Yeah.
07:31Just 38 minutes behind.
07:34We did really good last leg.
07:35Yeah.
07:36Best friends Joe and Kush.
07:38Just like, kind of moving away from not caring about the budget to start to bump it up again.
07:43So honestly, any work we can get our hands on, we can do.
07:47Yeah.
07:48After spending big to stay in the race, the boys are beginning the leg with nearly 10% less than
07:54their competitors.
07:55Last leg, we did everything to not be eliminated and not included.
07:58A pretty hefty taxi.
07:59Now we've got budget concerns, so we need to make money.
08:03Three years of fun.
08:04The city busy, please.
08:05Yeah.
08:06We just need to get on the bus first.
08:09People that are behind us are going to catch up with us, so I expect the boys to appear any
08:13minute.
08:14All concertinos together.
08:15Yeah.
08:16Here are the boys.
08:18Hello.
08:18How are we?
08:19Good.
08:20How are you?
08:20You look well rested.
08:21Do you know where you're going now?
08:23Yeah.
08:23Have you got a plan?
08:24Yeah.
08:25We have a plan, yeah.
08:26Are we allowed to know where you're heading to?
08:28I don't know.
08:30I don't know.
08:31We're heading to Vamp to see the test.
08:33We're going to Vamp.
08:34They're trying to probe a bunch.
08:35They're trying to get information out.
08:37Yeah.
08:38Margot's job is to read people.
08:40They're going to copy our strategy, our planning, so we're going to have to keep more hush.
08:44I think the boys are on fire though.
08:47They've got something to prove to themselves.
08:49To get first place.
08:50I think they'd love to get first place.
08:52Yeah.
08:52The boys are being very shady about where they're going.
08:56Very like...
08:57And I think they're going to race as if their life depends upon it.
09:02See you boys.
09:03We'll see you guys soon.
09:04Take care.
09:04We might have to up our game.
09:07See you boys.
09:07Good luck.
09:10Will we sit down here?
09:11We can look at the map here, all right?
09:12Aye.
09:12Will do.
09:13Okay.
09:14Whoa-ho!
09:15Last to depart.
09:16I think the obvious route at the moment is to go up and across northern Turkey.
09:21Andrew and his daughter Molly.
09:23And we could go and see the gods on Mount Nemrot.
09:26But I'd like to kind of meet more people, learn about their culture.
09:29That's what I wanted to do on this trip.
09:32But we had a beautiful time at Mount Olympus.
09:34And maybe the gods have lucked on us.
09:36And maybe we need to go and kind of thank the gods for allowing us to get through to the
09:40next stage.
09:40But I don't want to take over here.
09:43Yeah, I know.
09:43All right.
09:44What do you think?
09:47It would be amazing.
09:48I'm telling you.
09:49I love it.
09:49Okay.
09:50I'm excited.
09:51I know you're excited.
09:53I know.
09:55A bit annoyed in the route we've taken.
09:57The whole point of this trip is taking in culture, seeing people.
10:01But he's so excited.
10:03So I've had to say yes.
10:05Feeling the pull of a summit once again,
10:08Andrew plots a course for Mount Nemrot,
10:11just three hours' drive away,
10:12before heading inland through eastern Turkey.
10:16Molly, I'm thinking eastern Turkey.
10:18Yeah.
10:18But it's all very direct, going to Georgia.
10:21So this might actually pay off and get us back in the race.
10:24I'm confident it's going to be a good route to see what we want to see,
10:27but also quick enough routes because we need to move up the table a bit.
10:30So it's rather than being fought.
10:31If we can get experience and a bit of speed as well, what more can we ask?
10:39So, look.
10:41Mardin name?
10:41Yes.
10:42Where are you from?
10:43England.
10:45England.
10:45England.
10:46Yeah.
10:47Your name?
10:48France.
10:49France.
10:50Also heading east...
10:51Joe and Kush have answered an ad in the jobs directory
10:56and are on their way to the city of Mardin.
10:59We've got our work sorted.
11:01Well, I think we should start speaking to people about accommodation.
11:06Do you know any very cheap hotel or hostel in Mardin?
11:12I mean, Mardin?
11:26Yeah.
11:29Bro.
11:31Do you think we can stay in his house?
11:32What?
11:33It's the skull's charm.
11:34It's the skull's charm.
11:36Nowhere to stay.
11:37People have gone out of their way to give.
11:39We're not tourists here.
11:40We feel like guests.
11:41We've got free accommodation, so we're making money.
11:44We are going to get a fair space.
11:49The only team heading to the coast...
11:52Is this the longest motor transport we've done so far?
11:55Yes.
11:55Katie and Harrison are still waiting for their 14-hour overnight bus.
12:00Before I go on the bus.
12:02I really need to moisturise my elbows.
12:05Wash my face now before I got on there.
12:07Maybe brush my teeth before I got on there.
12:10And then I'm going to put some leggings on
12:12so that I can properly relax and get comfortable
12:15if it gets cold as well.
12:17I'm going to plait my hair so it doesn't get knotty.
12:20Yeah.
12:20This is my bag?
12:21Yeah.
12:25Blanket.
12:26Well, you're disgusting, aren't you?
12:27Sorted.
12:27You need to take better care of yourself, you scruff.
12:30Sorted.
12:31No wonder you don't get any women.
12:32You think you're a minger.
12:35Look at this bus.
12:36Looks class.
12:37Looks nice, doesn't it?
12:39Yeah, it looks class.
12:40Beto.
12:41I agree Beto, indeed.
12:43I've got my eye mask.
12:45I've got my pink hair pubs.
12:47Goodnight.
12:52That's a view.
12:54Godday!
12:56Just 20 kilometres from the Syrian border,
13:01Marden's stone houses cling to the hillside,
13:04overlooking the vast Mesopotamian plain.
13:07Aw, thank you.
13:08The boys have arranged to stay with new friend Furat
13:12and his family.
13:13Your name?
13:14Baba.
13:15Baba?
13:16Yes.
13:16John.
13:17I'm dead.
13:18Dad?
13:19Dead.
13:20Aw, father.
13:21I can't lie.
13:22I didn't expect any of this.
13:23Start a conversation on this bus.
13:25Next minute, we're in his house.
13:28Woo!
13:29Oh!
13:30Oh!
13:30It's a big thing inviting strangers to your house.
13:33What's this?
13:35Yogurt.
13:35It's yogurt.
13:36Peanut.
13:37Juice?
13:38Yes.
13:39Egg.
13:40Good.
13:41Oh, maybe not the gimme.
13:42Whatever.
13:43Ah, okay.
13:44Nice.
13:46Don't be shy.
13:47Eat until you're full.
13:48He knows.
13:50He knows.
13:52He's been very kind to us.
13:54We've just had dinner with him.
13:55He's let us have a shower.
13:57He's laid these beds out for us.
13:59That does mean a lot.
14:01Free food.
14:02Accommodation.
14:03We're trying to take every opportunity we can get to save money.
14:14Quarter to six in the morning.
14:16Nice time to be out.
14:18You're alone in your thoughts.
14:20It's stunning, isn't it?
14:22It's like the stairway to heaven.
14:23Or look at the colour there.
14:25It is fab.
14:25Isn't it?
14:29High in the Taurus Mountains, Andrew and Molly have reached Mount Nemrut.
14:35Look at that.
14:36That is amazing.
14:37Wow.
14:38Beautiful, isn't it?
14:39That's exceptional.
14:40Impressive.
14:43Here, ten metres stone gods stand vigil, built more than 2,000 years ago by King Antiochus I.
14:52Believing himself divine, he demanded a tomb among the gods.
14:56A monument that still gazes out across Comagene, the ancient kingdom he once ruled.
15:03They're cool.
15:05Daddy, look at them.
15:07Where's he gone?
15:08That just sums us up.
15:10I'm looking at the human geography and he's looking at the physical geography.
15:13Molly.
15:15Come here, look.
15:15Come here.
15:16You can really see the crater rim as it makes its whole way around.
15:21But that's what created all those lakes.
15:24Locked out.
15:25Mm-hmm.
15:26Because it doesn't seem to be any rivers or anything.
15:28But you can see obviously the lakes have all been blocked.
15:31Daddy.
15:32Do you know what?
15:32I do love a hike and I do love a pretty sky.
15:36And I'll make the most of it when I'm here but I also just love a bit of crack.
15:40I do think at the moment we're missing talking to people, chatting to people, dancing with people.
15:47I just, I love meeting people.
15:48Uh-huh.
15:49During this trip I'd love to kind of see like, I don't know, a bit of life, yeah, a bit
15:55of party.
15:55Yeah, I know.
15:56But I love, you know, I love to get up in the morning.
15:58A bit of solitude, a bit of quiet time, just to see the sun rising.
16:01This is right up my street.
16:06Look at the clouds.
16:06That is crazy.
16:07The clouds are just stunning.
16:10For me, the race is about proving to Daddy that I am capable.
16:14Yeah, I'm a junior doctor but Daddy's very much top dog and he'd be the main influencer on the trip
16:20and like, there's no pretending that kind of daddy-daughter dynamic, like that doesn't matter.
16:27But I think we do need to break this default of like, everything Daddy says is 100% perfect and
16:33correct
16:33and what I say is maybe not fully trustable.
16:37There's the sunlight.
16:38Yeah.
16:39Here she comes.
16:40It's beautiful.
16:42I would love for Daddy to get what he wants out of this race.
16:45But I would also very much like him to know that my opinion is also very much there to be
16:50respected.
16:52Wow.
16:55That was amazing.
16:58Did you get your fix?
16:59I did.
17:00There's a visitor centre down at the bottom so might be able to have a look through that.
17:04Yeah.
17:04I think we need to move on.
17:08Yo, Bob, John, let's work, yo!
17:11He ended up and hoovering.
17:14He would choose to earn a keep.
17:16Sing while I work like a Scouse smurf.
17:20Also in south-east Anatolia...
17:24So much dust.
17:25Joe and Kush press ahead with their budget-building mission.
17:29Cleaning rooms at a hotel in Marden.
17:31Look at that, lad.
17:32That view.
17:34That's Syria.
17:35I wouldn't have guessed that.
17:39900 kilometres north-west...
17:42The drive has been pretty stunning, hasn't it?
17:45Very stunning.
17:45On the left of us, the Black Sea.
17:47On the right, there's been, like, these huge green bow tails.
17:53Joining the coastal highway, Katie and Harrison are approaching Samson.
17:58So excited, some vanilla cake as well.
18:02Check, John.
18:03The other Turkish boss.
18:07You and your revolving doors.
18:08I love revolving doors.
18:09I know you do.
18:11Mark and Margot have made it to Van,
18:13and are now the team closest to the checkpoint.
18:17Ardahan?
18:18Ardahan.
18:19And from Ardahan, I think that would give us a crossing across the border.
18:22Yeah.
18:238.45 tomorrow?
18:241,400 each.
18:252,800.
18:27It's just nice to have this sorted, though, isn't it, Mark?
18:30Cheers, thank you.
18:31Seeing as we've done it now, we're here.
18:33There's no bus till tomorrow.
18:35Perhaps we could see anything lively happening.
18:46Look at that!
18:48My cat looked similar to that.
18:50It was orange and white.
18:52Native to the shores of Turquia's largest lake,
18:56Van cats are famed for their striking eyes,
18:59their water-resistant fur,
19:01and an unusual love of swimming.
19:05This is Lake Van.
19:07That's it.
19:08Huge, isn't it?
19:10Not a Turkish-span cat in sight.
19:12We haven't seen one, have we?
19:13No.
19:13Oh!
19:14Is that a cat over there?
19:15Isn't that woman's arms?
19:17Yeah, it's a baby, I think.
19:19That was a baby.
19:19There was a cat!
19:25In northern Turquia, near the Black Sea...
19:28Merhaba.
19:29Ardahan.
19:30Esad.
19:30Esad, Ardahan.
19:31Katie.
19:32Katie!
19:34Katie!
19:34He looks like he could pick us up.
19:36I'll do whatever he even tells me to do.
19:38Katie and Harrison have reached their homestay
19:41on the outskirts of the city.
19:44Treehouse.
19:45Oh, hi!
19:45Oh, my God.
19:47Oh, this is so cute.
19:49Like I'm in a little film where they go and stay in the cabin.
19:52They usually get murdered in them, but I'm hoping it's not those vibes.
20:01This is exactly what I thought we'd be doing, to be honest.
20:05I'm quite happy to be doing it.
20:07The siblings are working as labourers for cattle farmer Esad.
20:11We've always helped around the house, especially when we lived with Mum
20:15and she wasn't as well.
20:18Maybe we did more than other kids.
20:22Yeah.
20:23I'm definitely not scared to get my hands dirty.
20:26If Dad wanted a mucky job helper, it'd definitely be me over Harrison.
20:33It would be.
20:34Come on now, you've always been the princess.
20:37I wouldn't say princess.
20:38You have.
20:39I'm just not very...
20:39You hate a smell.
20:40You hate things getting on your fingers.
20:42You hate, like...
20:44Come on now.
20:45That's fine.
20:47I wouldn't say princess.
20:48Oh.
20:48Oh, she's just broken it.
20:50Do you know what it looks like?
20:52What?
20:52I might just be hungry.
20:53It looks like a baklava.
20:57Chicken?
20:59Chicken.
21:00OK, feed the chicken.
21:01OK.
21:02OK.
21:05Esa speaks as much English as I speak Turkish.
21:09Dinlenecek misiniz?
21:10Istirahat.
21:12Chicken is a...
21:13Chicken?
21:13Istirahat?
21:14Evet.
21:15OK.
21:16Oh, the chickens are asleep.
21:18They're asleep.
21:19Dinner will be an interesting one.
21:20I'll just make lots of mmm, yummy noises, I reckon.
21:23And just sort of laugh and smile and nod along.
21:25And just try and be as appreciative as I can.
21:27Is a normal cat by occured while's joking.

23:23He's made that hilarious.
23:25I came into this just as apprehensive of you,
23:27but, like, putting a brave face on.
23:30And I absolutely loved every second of it.
23:32I'm beaming. That was... That was beautiful.
23:35My heart is full. My heart is warm.
23:37I didn't know that was my favourite moment on the race somehow.
23:41Oh, OK.
23:42Ah!
23:43HE LAUGHS
23:46He kill you.
23:47Tick, tick.
23:48Oh, OK.

23:57Yes. A bit of action?
23:59Some dancing, some music. Some dancing, yeah.
24:01At least some music to listen to.
24:02Booked on a bus to the border tomorrow...
24:05Some fairy lights.
24:06Oh! Look at that place up there.
24:08HE LAUGHS
24:08..a chance for Mark and Margot to sample Vann's nightlife.
24:12Oh, this looks like a good choice, Mark.
24:18Oh, my God, it's magical.
24:20And there's some music. This is fantastic.
24:23HE SINGS IN THE END
24:26What is the music? What style of music will it be tonight?
24:29Folk music. Folk music?
24:31Yeah. Is it Kurdish folk music? Yeah, Kurdish.
24:33Cheers, Mark.
24:34To a good day.
24:35To a very good day, yes.
24:42HE SINGS IN THE END
24:51You can say, oh, Akema.
24:55Akema.
24:56Yeah.
24:59Akema.
25:00Akema.
25:00Akema.
25:02Akema.
25:02Yay!
25:04Appreciate it.
25:05Love it.
25:06Yeah.
25:07Fantastic, isn't it?
25:08I love it, too.
25:09What's your name?
25:10Aisha.
25:10Aisha? Oh, I like this very appreciate it.
25:12I'm Margot.
25:13Really?
25:14Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
25:15You are so sweet.
25:17Ah.
25:18Can I sit a second, yes?
25:20Mm.
25:21How old are you?
25:22I am 59.
25:23Like a grandma.
25:25Wow.
25:26No.
25:27You are not a grandma.
25:29I'm 19 years old also.
25:3119?
25:31Yes.
25:32I like to come with the young people just because it's nice, isn't it?
25:34Yes.
25:35I have two children.
25:36My daughter is 17.
25:3717?
25:38And my son is 20.
25:3920. Wow.
25:40I have six siblings, three girls, three boys.
25:44Wow.
25:45I have four brothers.
25:47Four brothers?
25:48And four sisters.
25:49One more each of you, one more each.
25:52So it's nine.
25:52You're a really Kurdish family.
25:54We have a Kurdish family.
25:55I have a Kurdish family, yes.
25:57Oh.
26:00And so are you.
26:01You're a beautiful young woman.
26:05Tonight, we found somewhere really special.
26:07And it was quite unexpected.
26:09And I met this gorgeous group of young women.
26:12And they're so proud of their culture.
26:14And it just felt so warm and so, oh, vibrant.
26:19Are you lonely, Mark?
26:21No, I'm enjoying myself.
26:22I've got some new friends.
26:24Am I sharing?
26:25I share.
26:26You look so younger.
26:28I told them you're 66.
26:30Oh, yeah, you're younger.
26:30That's amazing.
26:31Amazing.
26:32I really want this to be a trip for Mark.
26:35But I think I might have missed some places on the way that I would have liked to have stopped
26:38and seen.
26:39And I've realized that it's about balance, really.
26:41You love the atmosphere here, don't you?
26:43Absolutely beautiful.
26:45Absolutely beautiful.
26:46And, you know, I'd like to do some things that I would really, really, really passionately enjoy that light me
26:52up.
26:53I like to meet people.
26:55I like to talk with people.
26:56I like to laugh with people.
26:57And I'm hoping we'll prioritize that in the coming weeks.
27:12We're literally going across half of Turkey.
27:16Speeding along the coastal highway towards Hoppe.
27:20Hello.
27:21Do you speak English?
27:23Can we come and stay with you tonight?
27:27Yes, your house.
27:29Yes, okay.
27:29Following the success of their first homestay, the siblings are setting up another.
27:34Perfect.
27:34Thank you very much.
27:36Are you looking at me?
27:38Hello.
27:38Do you speak English?
27:40A little.
27:41Can I stay with you tonight?
27:45We need to go to the Ottergar.
27:46Ottergar?
27:47The bus station in Tatvan.
27:49In southeast Turkey, continuing their journey from Mount Nemrut, Andrew and Molly still have
27:56550 kilometres to reach Georgia.
27:58We need to go much faster than this.
28:01I know.
28:01I know.
28:02Plan A.
28:03Yeah.
28:03Let's get as close as we can tonight to the border.
28:07Because as soon as I think if you get across the border, you should be able to get a bus
28:10to the BC quite quickly.
28:12All right, Kim?
28:13Glad.
28:16We should be in Georgia by tonight.
28:18What do you reckon?
28:19Hopefully, yes.
28:20It should be, yes.
28:21Already closing in on the crossing, Mark and Margo.
28:25Snip, snip, snip.
28:26I'm going to cut your map.
28:28No, we're not cutting my map.
28:28I think we should cut the map and just leave the bits that we need.
28:31If the map is badly folded, it's no reflection on you as the person, Mark.
28:36Close behind.
28:37It's so beautiful.
28:38Beautiful.
28:39Fresh off an overnight bus, Joe and Kush have stopped just short of the border in Susus.
28:46Look at this, bro.
28:47Oh, wow.
28:48HoÅŸ geldiniz.
28:49This is...
28:50Oh, this is sick.
28:52What's this for my meal?
28:53It's like grandma's house.
28:55Turkish grandma's?
28:56Protecting their budget once again, they're staying with Adil and his wife, Beren, helping
29:01to care for their flock of over 100 free-range geese.
29:06We come from...
29:08Liverpool.
29:09Liverpool football, match.
29:10Football, good.
29:11Yeah, football.
29:12Mausala?
29:13Mausala.
29:14Mausala, huh?
29:16Here are the geese.
29:17What?
29:25It's a mini-stump to eat, isn't it?
29:27No, yeah.
29:30Raised on open pasture, the region's cool climate creates the ideal environment to rear the birds.
29:40Prized across Turkey for their high nutritional value and succulent texture.
29:46Here.
29:47It is quite a change coming to the east side of Turkey.
29:52When I think of Turkey, you think, like, our holiday destination.
29:56Busy people.
29:57Very touristy place.
29:58But I don't think we expected this whole experience.
30:02Like, there was birds that were doing flips.
30:06That's mad.
30:07Wish our pigeons did this.
30:08Like, this isn't the type of thing you see in Liverpool, you know?
30:12I think this is the geese shit.
30:13Some things in life that have to be done.
30:15Yeah.
30:17Me and Jarry, we're happy as they want it.
30:19But they need us to do.
30:20We came here for work.
30:23And in return, a bed.
30:24It pretty much sums up our plan on this leg to save money.
30:29I swear some of these are trying to square up.
30:34I definitely could put this on my CV.
30:36I shrivelled bird poop.
30:38One of the jobs we've done.
30:40Hotel.
30:41Hospitality.
30:42Waiters.
30:43Geese.
30:44Yeah, my CV's going to be so thick.
30:47We have both finished our educations.
30:50We've got our grades.
30:51And now it's a case of whether we want to work or university,
30:56apprenticeships, anything.
30:58And this is the perfect opportunity to think about the future.
31:00This is sick coming to the middle of nowhere.
31:04Nah, this is heavy, this.
31:06I hope this experience will broaden my vision
31:10and open my eyes, see what I may want to do,
31:14but also discover what I maybe don't want to do.
31:19Joe, which is heavier?
31:21A kilogram of geese shit or a kilogram of chicken shit?
31:24They're both a kilogram.
31:25What do you mean?
31:27Oh, a trick question.
31:29What are you?
31:31We are both going to experience so many different cultures,
31:34different kinds of people, different attitudes to life.
31:37I just clocked it.
31:38We're taking the geese for the walk.
31:40Oh, we actually are taking the geese for a walk.
31:42This race, it's a lifetime of exploring in such a short amount of time.
31:47I think it's going to open up a lot of doors that not many people have the privilege to unlock.
31:55That is adorable.
31:59I was supposed to get him back.
32:05This is Hopper.
32:07Fantastic.
32:08At the eastern edge of the Black Sea shoreline, Katie and Harrison have arrived in Hopper,
32:14where they've arranged a homestay at a nearby tea farm.
32:17But first...
32:19Let's go.
32:20Let's go.
32:20They look to book onward transport towards the checkpoint for tomorrow.
32:24Can we see?
32:25Yeah.
32:26With bus?
32:27Yeah.
32:27Tomorrow.
32:28No buses.
32:30Tomorrow.
32:31No, not robot.
32:32No.
32:32No bus.
32:33Tomorrow.
32:40We're just going to have to wait until the day after.
32:42Yeah, yeah.
32:46Can we book not tomorrow, but the morning after?
32:50That's it.
32:54With no choice but to stay in Hopper for two nights, the risk falling a full day behind
33:00in the race.
33:01It's not ideal.
33:03It's rubbish.
33:04It's pretty terrible.
33:06It's OK.
33:07It's not OK.
33:09The transports are not the best in the world for the timings, so we're just stuck and feel
33:15helpless.
33:16And there's nothing we can really do about that.
33:19Maybe other teams are finding it just as hard as well.
33:23Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.
33:25Karma, karma.
33:27If you're talking to karma, karma, I'm going to throw myself in the Black Sea.
33:34We are going to Tbilisi.
33:36What's the best way to get to Tbilisi?
33:38Cars.
33:39Cars.
33:39How do we get to Cars?
33:41Here.
33:41Yes.
33:42OK, perfect.
33:44Trailing behind, Andrew and Molly have reached the transport hub of Tatvan.
33:49We're trying to go to Cars tonight.
33:52No bus.
33:53No bus.
33:53Is there anywhere else around here?
33:56None.
33:57No buses anywhere tonight?
33:59No.
34:00Nobody seems to run buses at night time.
34:02How can we get to Tbilisi?
34:05Yes.
34:06Yes.
34:07Can we get a bus?
34:09Can we get a train?
34:10Can we get a bike?
34:12Tomorrow bus.
34:13Yes.
34:13To Ezerum.
34:15When is that bus?
34:178.30.
34:18At 8.30 in the morning.
34:19Yes.
34:20Molly, take your bike.
34:22We're a bit stuck.
34:24There seems to be no buses tonight.
34:26But there is a bus to Ezerum tomorrow morning.
34:30Why is there no buses?
34:31Molly, I can't answer that question, Tettle.
34:34If we are in Ezerum tomorrow, would we get a bus from Ezerum to Tbilisi?
34:40Every hour, you can go to Tbilisi.
34:43Daddy, he's speaking through him.
34:44He's not giving us independent information.
34:55I'm just, I'm a bit frustrated at the minute,
34:57because Daddy is not listening to me at all.
35:00And he's telling me to shush, which is really annoying me.
35:02So, it's okay.
35:05But, at the same time, I'm always dirty myself.
35:09So, I don't know.
35:12So, what do you want to do?
35:13I don't know.
35:14I don't know.
35:17I'm not really sure what to do.
35:18I actually have no gut instinct.
35:20It's a bit annoying.
35:21I normally have something telling me.
35:22So, I'm kind of thinking a full day behind is what we're looking at if we stay tonight.
35:29It's a choice between budget and getting there.
35:32We could pay 7,000 for a taxi or 2,400, get a hotel here.
35:37I think I'm just tired, and I really mean that.
35:40I just think I'm a bit tired.
35:41What do we need more at this moment in time, Pat?
35:43A bed.
35:45Okay.
35:48Bit of tension tonight between the two of us.
35:51Daddy just kept telling me to shh.
35:52And I find it really difficult when you are just as good at getting information,
35:57but you're kind of put in the back burner.
36:00So, I was struggling, and it got a wee bit tense for a moment.
36:03Stress levels are up.
36:07Oh, jeez.
36:08I know, fella tired of my life.
36:22Good breakfast, man.
36:24We could definitely get to checkpoints today.
36:25Absolutely.
36:25We could actually be fighting for first.
36:27Mm-hmm.
36:28I do now as we move fast.
36:29True.
36:30I think that we've got a very good chance.
36:34We've got to get straight back into race mode.
36:36We've got to get straight back into the game.
36:37Oh, man.
36:39Hopefully, we're going to be a couple of hours ahead from the other teams.
36:42Fingers crossed.
36:43We've kept moving.
36:44We've had good transport connections so far.
36:46Touch wood.
36:46Let's go.
36:47We're going to Possoff.
36:48They're direct to Tbilisi.
36:50Getting the first bus.
36:51The second bus.
36:52On checkpoint.
36:53Boom, boom.
36:55The boys' plan.
36:56Take a minibus to Possoff and cross the border.
37:01Already on Georgian soil, Mark and Margot.
37:08Mark, let me in.
37:10But just 200 kilometres shy of the checkpoint,
37:14their progress is put on hold.
37:16How are you feeling?
37:18Well, not for you to be the Muslim head.
37:19No, OK.
37:20You're the priority.
37:21Even if we lose, like, you know, hours.
37:23Yeah, exactly.
37:23No.
37:24There's no point in me sitting in the hotel while ill, is that?
37:27So, you going out?
37:28Yeah.
37:28Got to get out and experience this place.
37:31Do you want to take the money with you?
37:32Yes.
37:34I might feel better later, son.
37:36We'll draw these curtains for you.
37:37Let you have a little more rest.
37:39All right.
37:40Take care.
37:43I came here mainly Alcatsiki for Mark,
37:46but now it's going to be Margot's day.
37:48I am sorry, Mark's sick.
37:51It's disappointing in race terms,
37:53and I do fear we're going to be trailing in fourth place.
37:56Not a lot we can do about it, so I'm not going to get upset about it.
38:00I'm just going to go eat some dumplings and drink some wine,
38:02because if you can't do anything about it,
38:04you've just got to live your best life.
38:06Absolutely gorgeous.
38:07The castle looks amazing.
38:10In a valley surrounded by the Muschietti Mountains,
38:15Alcatsiki, watching over the city,
38:17the 1,100-year-old fortress,
38:21its walls sheltering a mosque, church and a synagogue.
38:25It's the castle called Alcatsiki, which means Newcastle.
38:30Newcastle in Georgia.
38:32Look at this.
38:33Mark would just be beyond himself
38:36with post-scouted excitement if he was here.
38:41I'm feeling pretty ropey this morning.
38:43I had TT troubles all night, tummy trouble,
38:46so I haven't slept at all.
38:48It is frustrating.
38:49I would have loved to get to Tbilisi this evening.
38:52I don't think that's going to happen,
38:54but we'll wait and see if I can recover.
39:00Oh, that's nice.
39:01I like this one.
39:04I like that one.
39:05I think this is my favourite.
39:07OK, that's it.
39:08I'll finish these off.
39:09Yeah.
39:10OK, thank you.
39:12A little Georgian wine tasting we've got going here.
39:15I'm not really sure Mark would be pleased
39:17that I'm spending money on wine,
39:19but I hope he'll be OK with this.
39:21He'll be glad that I'm happy anyway, so...
39:24Oh, no, now I'm getting guilt.
39:27OK.
39:29HE LAUGHS
39:29He's going to be good.
39:30I don't know...
39:31I don't know what he's going to say when I get back.
39:33Amazing!
39:34These are huge!
39:38Mmm!
39:39Homemade cognac.
39:40Cheers!
39:41I could drink a lot more of that.
39:44The truth is out.
39:46£10!
39:47So that is an absolute steal.
39:51I think I have done fabulously.
39:57Part of coming on the race was like running away from real life
40:00and just enjoying myself and just be me for a change
40:03and just go, let rip, you know?
40:06I love doing different things and I love doing new things all the time
40:10and experiences and excitement.
40:12And when I had my children, it was like, no, you have to kind of,
40:14you know, you've got this work to be done.
40:17It can be joyful work, but it's a slog.
40:20I never planned to have the life I had.
40:23I never planned to be a mum and settle into suburban lifestyle
40:27and it kind of...it kind of happened.
40:32But, erm...
40:33The chance to do this was like to step back into that time of mischief.
40:39In my real life there's just so many different pulls on my time
40:43and responsibilities.
40:45But here...
40:46They're gone.
40:49T, T, T, T, T.
40:58Tea?
40:59It's tea.
41:00OK.
41:01It doesn't look anything like it does in a tea bag.
41:06190 kilometres west, still in Turquia, Katie and Harrison are repaying their bed and board
41:16by helping farmer Harun with his family business.
41:20Very nice. Nice, nice.
41:23So this is all your tea?
41:26Tea.
41:26Your brother tea?
41:28Brother tea.
41:29Brother tea?
41:30Me tea.
41:30Is that tea up there?
41:31Cousin. Cousin. Cousin. Cousin. Beautiful car. Everybody. Cousin.
41:37And then you sell?
41:40Business. Money. Okay.
41:43Okay. Very nice business. Very good. Very good.
41:46This is a pretty special landscape.
41:49It's probably the most breathtaking landscape I've ever seen.
41:56Hopa's lush, forested mountains lie within Turquia's prime tea-growing region along the eastern Black Sea coast.
42:06Introduced in 1918 by botanist Ali Reza Erten, tea has since become central to the local economy.
42:16I've always wanted to, um, see places like this.
42:20I know a lot of my friends have gone to see tea farms.
42:23Have they?
42:24I think I was a bit gutted when I didn't get to go travelling the year after sixth form.
42:31Did you really want to go?
42:33Yeah.
42:35God, yeah.
42:37Oh, why didn't you do that?
42:38I think Mum was at her worst then.
42:41I just couldn't leave Mum for an extended period of time.
42:46Yeah.
42:46Just wouldn't have wanted to go just in case anything bad happened.
42:51Yeah.
42:51We'd want to be around.
42:52Yeah.
42:54Mum's doing a lot better now, but I think we've cared for Mum for the last ten years on and
42:59off.
43:00It's interesting, like, the phrase, cared for Mum, because doesn't everyone care for their Mum,
43:05but maybe we did it a little bit more intensely.
43:08Washing, cooking, on the really bad days, it would be, like, helping dress her and things like that, really.
43:15I think it was a time of a lot of hospital visits.
43:20Visits, yeah.
43:21Appointments, emergency visits, so, yeah.
43:26Mum became ill, um...
43:29It was after the separation with Dad.
43:31It started with the fibromyalgia.
43:34Yeah.
43:35Chronic fatigue.
43:36Slip disc in her back that last two years.
43:40There is nothing you can do if she's screaming out in pain.
43:43There's nothing you can do apart from holding her hand.
43:46I remember you felt like a pressure to push the doctor to keep asking questions about,
43:52but what can we do, like, back in 18, 19, I'm not the most confident now.
43:57I definitely wasn't there.
43:58And I just, I just couldn't.
44:01The bit that took a toll on me was just constantly seeing her in pain.
44:08Like, that just broke me, like...
44:12And knowing there's just nothing you can do...
44:14..and nothing no-one else can do...
44:16..but just sit there and watch her in so much pain.
44:20Probably the emotional side of it took more of a toll on you.
44:24Yeah.
44:25My use was more practical, maybe.
44:29I think I actually took on more emotional responsibility,
44:36despite me being younger.
44:38Yeah, yeah, cos that was what you were good at.
44:40Yeah.
44:40Or better at than me.
44:48I have a slight feeling of guilt towards how much Katie cared for Mum.
44:55Looking back, what I wanted to do at that point
44:57was spend all every hour of the day on my Xbox
45:00or with my mates playing football,
45:03so I think I would be a little bit selfish
45:06in terms of prioritise what I want to do.
45:08But then when you hear about how much Katie took on from that,
45:11then maybe I feel a little bit more guilty
45:13in the fact that I didn't take as much of the emotional weight as Katie did.
45:19I think I would have liked to have talked to Harrison more
45:24about the emotional side
45:28because I think that took a big toll on me growing up
45:33and to be able to talk to him about that would have been nice
45:36just to be able to share that
45:38and not, like, have it by myself.
45:42So maybe that's a good place to start whilst we're racing.
45:47Take a cup of tea.
45:49Yeah, I'd love a cup of tea.
45:54Bus station?
45:55Bus station?
45:56Yes, yes, bus station.
45:58Let's get going.
46:00Fingers crossed we can get on a coach
46:02and get to checkpoint tonight.
46:06Think we'll make it, Mark?
46:07Oh, I don't know.
46:08I hope we do.
46:09With Mark back on his feet,
46:11the in-laws restart their push to the checkpoint.
46:17Looks all closed up, doesn't it?
46:19It's a little easy, 6.20 in the morning,
46:22so there's nothing to be easy till tomorrow.
46:25Hmm.
46:26So we could go to bed now, get up tomorrow and get that bus,
46:29or how much would a cab cost?
46:32No idea at all.
46:33But how much would a bed for the night cost?
46:36We'd say it on a bed, wouldn't we?
46:38It would be, yeah.
46:38If it's going to cost us.
46:39It's a balancing act, isn't it?
46:41How much is a taxi to Tbilisi?
46:43200.
46:44200 lari.
46:45How much is that?
46:47A lot.
46:48It's 57 quid.
46:49How long?
46:50Three hours.
46:51Three hours?
46:52Three hours, yes, yes.
46:5410 o'clock we get in.
46:56What are we going to do?
46:58It's up to you.
47:00It's budget versus speed.
47:06Hello.
47:07We're trying to go to Tbilisi.
47:09330 kilometres behind and trailing in last place,
47:13Andrew and Molly have made it to Erzurum
47:16and are still looking for a bus to the checkpoint.
47:19Go direct to Tbilisi?
47:20If we can.
47:21No, first between Hopa.
47:23Hopa.
47:23Hopa to Tbilisi direct.
47:25What time will we arrive?
47:27Five hours later, you are arrived to Hopa.
47:29Hopa is five hours away.
47:31Five hours, and then...
47:33We have to do it, Hopa.
47:34Seven o'clock at night.
47:35I'm the choice, Molly.
47:37Cheers.
47:38I'm a bit nervous.
47:41We originally planned to go through the middle of Turkey,
47:44avoiding the coastal route,
47:46but what's actually happened is we ended up doing the coastal route
47:49a bit backwards and probably a bit arseways.
47:51It's annoying that we've had to go all over the place,
47:54but it is what it is.
47:56With no direct bus to Tbilisi,
47:58they've booked a 240-kilometre detour
48:01via the coastal town of Hopa.
48:05I don't know.
48:06I'm not sure if this is a good decision.
48:08What do you think?
48:10I think it's better to ask.
48:13Hello.
48:14Could you help me?
48:16Is Hopa the quickest route to Tbilisi?
48:19No.
48:20No?
48:21No.
48:21No, don't go to Hopa.
48:23Hopa.
48:24Don't go to Hopa.
48:25Rize at Tbilisi.
48:26Rize at 9.30 is Tbilisi.
48:29OK, perfect.
48:29It's yours.
48:32The bus driver has said,
48:34better to get off at Rize.
48:37And then from Rize,
48:38there's a straight bus to Tbilisi.
48:41Tonight.
48:42Tonight.
48:43OK, kid.
48:43Trust you.
48:45Hope and pray, no?
48:48Molly's new plan.
48:50Make up time by getting off early in Rize
48:52and catch an overnight bus direct to the checkpoint.
48:57Rize?
48:58Rize.
48:59OK.
49:00Right, come on.
49:00This could be a major risk.
49:03Tbilisi?
49:04Yes.
49:05Tonight.
49:05Tonight.
49:06Two tickets?
49:07Yes.
49:09Thank you, thank you.
49:11Perfect.
49:12OK.
49:14We got off a stop early.
49:16The bus driver on the bus kind of gave us an indication
49:18that there was buses.
49:19But, you know, the language barrier,
49:20you can't trust anything until you actually physically have a ticket.
49:23But I have a ticket that says to Tbilisi,
49:25so that's not what I care about.
49:27Well done, kid.
49:29Daddy's very much a daddy.
49:31He takes the lead.
49:32But every now and again, I step in.
49:35You ready?
49:36Three, two, one.
49:37Woo!
49:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:40Oh!
49:40As a parent, you realise that time goes very, very quickly.
49:43Whee!
49:46When they go from that age to the age she is at the minute,
49:49that time flies.
49:50Oh, we won!
49:52Yay!
49:53There's a point where you have to let them grow up
49:55and be who she is going to be in this world.
49:58We're getting more fun!
50:01It's hard letting Molly take control,
50:03because, I mean, all daddies want to be needed.
50:05But it is very difficult as a father,
50:07so it's a work in progress.
50:09And I am struggling with that.
50:11Big kick!
50:12Oh!
50:13But we're making great memories on this trip,
50:15so that's what this is all about.
50:18Tbilisi, here we come.
50:22Taxi?
50:22To Tbilisi.
50:24Tbilisi?
50:24Tbilisi.
50:26Let's go.
50:27What do you think's worth it?
50:28I think it's worth it.
50:30Having caught a minibus to cross into Georgia,
50:33Joe and Kush spend their earnings
50:34on a 230-kilometre taxi ride
50:37straight to Tbilisi.
50:39Go fast, though.
50:41Hey, here we go.
50:43Here we go.
50:44Yeah.
50:45I think this was a good decision.
50:46Yeah, yeah.
50:47We'll get there today,
50:49and I just think the guarantee is worth it
50:51over spending that extra bit of money.
50:53To be fair, Lord,
50:55we have saved a lot of this leg.
50:56Yeah.
50:59Whoa!
51:00Tbilisi!
51:00Tbilisi, here we come.
51:01Yes, it's arrived.
51:03How fast was that, then?
51:05Just ahead,
51:06Mark and Margot
51:07have also opted for speed over budget.
51:10We're doing what we have to do
51:12to get to checkpoint
51:13as fast as possible.
51:14Yeah.
51:15This time, we had to get a taxi, didn't we?
51:17I think we've lost too much time otherwise.
51:19Yeah.
51:19I don't think we're that far behind everyone,
51:21to be honest.
51:22Staying in the game.
51:23Staying in the game, Mark!
51:27The vibrant heart of Georgia.
51:31Tbilisi.
51:32Its architecture as diverse as its history.
51:35Onion-domed churches
51:37and Soviet tower blocks
51:39stand shoulder to shoulder
51:41with ultra-modern structures,
51:43built as part of an effort
51:45to reinvent the city
51:46after the fall of the Soviet Union.
51:49Thank you very much.
51:51Sick.
51:53Right.
51:53Game on, Mark!
51:57Head down toward the river
51:59and find the Bridge of Peace.
52:03Cross the river,
52:04follow the path upstream.
52:06All right.
52:07You ready to rock and roll?
52:09Excuse me?
52:09Bridge of Peace?
52:10Yes, I do.
52:11You don't know.
52:13Quite a nice behemoth lifestyle down here.
52:15Excuse me?
52:16Bridge of Peace?
52:17Let me see this layer of lamps.
52:19The lamps, okay.
52:20Yeah, this is.
52:20Well done, Mark.
52:21You're still on fire,
52:22even if your belly's on fire too.
52:25Bro, I think that's it, you know.
52:26I bet you have some Bridge of Peace, though.
52:28This is a Bridge of Peace.
52:32Let's go!
52:34Yeah, buddy!
52:36Love this game, lad.
52:38Love this way.
52:39We're going down under here.
52:40This is gorgeous.
52:42Mmm.
52:43Here we go.
52:47We'll take the first crossing over the main road to find a leaning clock tower.
52:52I mean, I can see a tower.
52:54Probably a clock tower.
52:55Low-key, it does look wonky.
53:00Do you know where the leaning clock tower is?
53:03Just up here?
53:03Up here?
53:04Thank you very much.
53:05Thank you, gentlemen.
53:06Leaning clock tower.
53:07Aye, there it is.
53:09Son of a...
53:10Why is it supposed to be massive?
53:12There's a leading clock tower.
53:13Yes!
53:14Well done, Mark.
53:17Travel in the direction of the advancing Gorgosu Square,
53:22300 metres, to find your checkpoint,
53:25the Caravassal Hotel.
53:27Gorgosu Square.
53:28That's the one.
53:29Yes!
53:29That's the one.
53:29Yes!
53:31Nearly there, Mark.
53:34Perhaps I don't know where we are.
53:36No, me neither.
53:38Huh.
53:38It's dead.
53:39I feel like we've done a full circle.
53:44So, we're back where we started, now.
53:45We are back where we started.
53:49It's got to be somewhere here.
53:51Hotel?
53:52Which one?
53:53Caravassa.
53:54Caravassa, hotel, you can go there.
53:55This way?
53:57This way?
53:57Lad, we did a full circle.
53:59But if nothing else, it's a really interesting part of the city.
54:02It's not only the time for admiring the neighbourhood clock.
54:06Let's go.
54:07I want a bed.
54:08Caravassa, hotel, it's in, Margot, it's here.
54:10Yes!
54:11What?
54:16Here we go.
54:18Hello.
54:18Welcome to Caravassa Hotel.
54:20Hello.
54:20Good evening.
54:21Good evening.
54:22Please sign in.
54:23Okay, Margot.
54:24All right.
54:25You have successfully reached your fourth checkpoint.
54:28Please sign in, Overleaf.
54:30Go on what number?
54:30Four.
54:31Four.
54:32Not by too much, I hope.
54:37We're first!
54:40We made it!
54:41We did it!
54:42We did it!
54:44I don't believe you!
54:45What?
54:48Result?
54:48We're delighted.
54:49I can't believe it.
54:50We just cannot believe it.
54:51We thought we'd absolutely...
54:53Trash this one, didn't we?
54:54Trash this one.
54:55Oh, Margot, that's brilliant!
54:57Thank you very much.
54:58Cheers.
54:59Cheers.
55:01Hello.
55:01We'd like to check in.
55:03Want to do the honors?
55:05Oh, God.
55:06Lad.
55:07Oh, my God.
55:09Oh, my God.
55:09Look at your time as well, bro.
55:10Yo!
55:11Oh, my days.
55:12We just did so well, this leg, lad.
55:14We did so good in terms of money.
55:16I'm very proud of us.
55:17I'm proud.
55:24I'm proud.
55:29Oh, I hate public schools.
55:31I know.
55:32You say it, no?
55:33I think it's up here.
55:37Hello.
55:37How you doing?
55:38Pleased to see you.
55:41Hello.
55:41Hello, how are you?
55:42Hello, nice to meet you.
55:43Nice to meet you.
55:45Where are you, Molly?
55:46Oh, my goodness.
55:50Jesus.
55:51Oh, wow.
55:53You're ecstatic.
55:54We're third.
55:54We're third.
55:55We can't believe we're third.
55:56When I used to know after a leg that we found, it was between ourselves very difficult.
56:02We actually still did half-decent.
56:03Yes, we did all right.
56:04Yes.
56:05So.
56:08Holy clip.
56:09After all that.
56:20Oh, that's good.
56:25Hello.
56:26Hello.
56:27Hello.
56:28You've successfully reached your fourth checkpoint.
56:30Please sign in, Eberleith.
56:33Oh.
56:34Yeah, we are far behind.
56:36I'm really happy for them all.
56:39Good for you.
56:40I'm not.
56:41From first to last is really quite the fall from grace.
56:46We're now the underdogs.
56:48We're now the underdogs.
56:48It's something to chase after.
56:50Could be a lot worse.
56:51I personally deem it as unacceptable.
56:54At the halfway point in the race to Mongolia, Mark and Margo have surged into the lead for
57:00the first time, while former frontrunners Katie and Harrison have tumbled to last place.
57:07Seeing those three names ahead of you, when we've not experienced one or two names ahead of us before is
57:12a real kick in the teeth.
57:16It's the night, isn't it?
57:19It's the night, isn't it?
57:24To fashion your seatbelts.
57:26This is what we like, adventure.
57:29It very much feels like the unknown now.
57:33Welcome, Kazakhstan.
57:35Number one, champion.
57:38It's taken out.
57:39I don't know how you're going to do this, boy.
57:41Batman's on top.
57:43I gave me your vodka.
57:47Oh, my God.
57:48You could get lost very, very quickly in this leg.
57:51Wow, look at that.
57:52Oh, those camels.
57:54Oh, my God, there's just camels in the middle of the world.
57:56This is going to be cool.
58:24Listen, it's over!
