00:01Six months ago, five teams took part in an unforgettable competition.
00:10Let's go.
00:11We got this.
00:12Rapido, Rapido.
00:13Up there, can you see that?
00:15Oh, this is sick.
00:16An epic race of over 12,000 kilometres from west to east.
00:23Look at this. Incredible.
00:26You don't see that on a new build in Manchester here.
00:28We made it.
00:30From the sun-drenched, bustling streets of Sicily.
00:34That's a view and a half, you know, screensaver vibes.
00:37To the vast, unforgiving wilderness of Mongolia.
00:42I love how flat it is into, like, absolute mountains.
00:47Absolutely epic.
00:48They tested their own stamina and endurance.
00:52Give it loads.
00:54Can I have your skates?
00:56Snowballs.
00:56So we've lost our lead.
00:59Across eight countries, rich in culture and experience.
01:04You gave me your vodka.
01:06Welcome, Kazakhstan.
01:09Today's celebration is called a circumcision party.
01:13Sick?
01:14I don't think I've ever seen anything so cool in my life.
01:18But only one team could claim victory.
01:21Three, two, one.
01:24And take home the £20,000 prize.
01:28No!
01:31Now, for the first time since the finish line, they reunite.
01:36Hello.
01:37How are we doing?
01:38To share their stories.
01:40To share their stories.
01:40I don't think I was thinking anything other than, I can't believe I'm here.
01:44To reveal how the race changed their lives.
01:46We wanted to make sure this didn't break us.
01:49And it's actually made us stronger.
01:51High five.
01:53I wanted to do that for a long time, kid.
01:57Margot is very open, very free.
02:00And I've taken that on board.
02:04And to marvel at the process undertaken to bring their extreme journeys to the screen.
02:10We just need to make sure we know where all the teams are at all times.
02:13They're like the brain of race across the world.
02:15What a job to be able to do.
02:17As they all relive.
02:21Let's go!
02:22Their race.
02:23Come on, Mark.
02:24It's right there.
02:25Come on.
02:25Across the world.
02:36Having arrived home in the UK almost six months ago, all five teams are coming back together.
02:44Hi, folks.
02:45Hi, guys.
02:46I'm going to pop some microphones on you.
02:47Yeah.
02:48This is very professional.
02:49None of this on the road.
02:51First to arrive, siblings Katie and Harrison, ready to see their fellow competitors for the
02:57first time since leaving the race.
03:01I can't wait to see the guys.
03:03I'm so excited to see them.
03:05How you doing?
03:07The second duo to join, father and daughter Andrew and Molly.
03:12Hello!
03:13Go on.
03:14Can't get up to them.
03:15I'm so excited.
03:19Good to see you.
03:19Good to see you.
03:20Andrew.
03:21Good to see you.
03:22That's beautiful.
03:23Look at you.
03:24Good.
03:25Oh, my God.
03:25It's just been absolutely wild.
03:28Should we go and do it again?
03:28Yeah.
03:30We're going to do it again.
03:31Next, to walk through the doors...
03:33Hello!
03:34Hello!
03:36...in-laws Mark and Margo.
03:38Mark, how we doing?
03:39Very good.
03:40Good to see you.
03:41Oh, look at you.
03:42Good to see you.
03:42Good to see you.
03:43Have you been up to any adventures?
03:45He's been travelling.
03:46He got right out, got his rucksack on.
03:48Did you have a rucksack?
03:49Yeah, rucksack.
03:50In Thailand.
03:51On his own?
03:51On my own.
03:52Singapore.
03:53Sri Lanka.
03:54Oh, jealous.
03:55And guess who I bumped into Sri Lanka?
03:58Ah!
03:59You've been away.
04:00You've been away.
04:02I did Sydney, New Zealand and then Sri Lanka.
04:06Race really gave me that sense of freedom.
04:08So, actually, I can do a bit more travelling.
04:12We bumped into each other.
04:13That is fun.
04:14I know.
04:14It was so good.
04:16I was like, Mom!
04:18Hi.
04:18We're at a five-star hotel and all we can find to eat is...
04:24Mongolian vegetable noodles and...
04:28Mongolian seafood rice.
04:30Brilliant.
04:30There we are.
04:31We cannot escape Mongolia wherever we go or their food.
04:34Bye!
04:35Bye!
04:37Also back with the group, cousins, Pooja and Roshni.
04:40Girls!
04:45How are you?
04:47You lost the voice?
04:48My voice.
04:49All perfect.
04:50The voice is gone.
04:52Oh, you guys!
04:55That is terrible timing.
04:59And the last pair to join the pack, 19-year-old best friends,
05:04Joe and Kush.
05:05Are we the last ones?
05:07Yeah, I think we're the last ones.
05:10Yeah, I think we're the last ones.
05:10Good boy, Jerry.
05:13Hi!
05:14Awesome!
05:15Good to see you.
05:17Good to see you.
05:17Good to see you.
05:19Awesome.
05:20Awesome.
05:21Your boys, your boys.
05:23You got very fond of them, didn't you, on the trip?
05:25They're like our little brothers.
05:27So, Gares, as the people who left early, who do you think, between the whole lot of us, who do
05:32you think won?
05:33Who's giving winner energy?
05:34We always thought that you two would win, Mark and Margot, yeah.
05:38You were always so charming and, like, full of energy and, like, you just seemed to know everything.
05:42Like, with my dad, like, I could ask him any question and he would just know the answer.
05:45I feel like you were exactly the same.
05:46Oh, gosh.
05:47Who ever won, can you please step forward?
05:56Oh, my God, I'm so proud.
06:08Rosh, look.
06:09It looks like a cathedral.
06:10These five pairs put their everyday lives on pause and came together for an epic adventure.
06:17But it was actually months before they stood on the starting line that they began their journey.
06:24They were selected from thousands of application videos.
06:28Hello, everybody. It's Molly and...
06:31Daddy.
06:31Andrew.
06:33Hello, I'm Harrison.
06:35And I'm Ken too.
06:36We are siblings. I'm 22, she's 20.
06:39Why we want to do it is because we want to see the world, want to experience things, add some
06:44spice to life, you know?
06:45Keep it interesting.
06:46Yeah, experience, like, different, yeah, cultures, people.
06:50Hi, I'm Pooja.
06:51And I'm Roshni.
06:52Please take us.
06:54Yeah, we would love to go.
06:55We really want to go.
06:56Why do you think we'd be good, Mark?
06:58Well, we're like chalk and cheese.
06:59I'm very practical.
07:01Boring.
07:01Margaret just has fun, fun, fun.
07:05And as casting progressed, all shortlisted candidates were brought to London to test their navigation skills.
07:13Without phones or cash, and armed only with cryptic clues.
07:19Ask someone.
07:20Yeah, unless you've read my mind.
07:21Excuse me, ma'am.
07:22Excuse me.
07:22Excuse me.
07:22We're in a race at the moment, and we just need some help finding out where our location is.
07:27Molly's taking charge.
07:28I follow her.
07:32We're in a competition.
07:33You wouldn't take us to Golden Hind.
07:35Does anyone know if this is Southbound?
07:38It's Southbound.
07:38No, it's for good.
07:39It's Southbound.
07:41Just ask people, it's easier.
07:42Do a challenge, and these ladies are filming for this challenge to see if I can get anything
07:47for my birthday.
07:47It's 59 today.
07:48I've got my passport and my bag if you want to see.
07:4959.
07:50Yeah.
07:50So cool.
07:51Oh, this is sick.
07:53No way.
07:54That's sick.
07:5521 minutes.
07:56What?
07:57Yes, mate.
07:58Nice.
08:00Amazing.
08:01Four months after selection, they arrived at the airport, having packed for every eventuality
08:08with no idea where in the world they were heading.
08:11Oh!
08:12Their destination revealed just hours before departure.
08:17You'll be flying to...
08:19Palermo in Sicily.
08:20Sicily.
08:20Oh, my God.
08:21Southern Italy.
08:22We're going to have pizza tonight.
08:25Oh, that's brilliant.
08:26Sicily.
08:27That's brilliant.
08:27Sicily.
08:28Mamma mia.
08:29In the historic city of Palermo...
08:32I'm actually really nervous, I can't lie.
08:34Syria.
08:35...they all came face to face for the very first time.
08:39Here we go.
08:40Oh, they're looking fit and young.
08:41Good to meet you.
08:42I'm Margot.
08:42Margot, I'm Joel.
08:44Oh, I can see you.
08:45Hey!
08:45Hi!
08:46Hi, guys.
08:47So I'm guessing everyone's here to win.
08:49I have a saying, seconds force loser.
08:51Oh, okay.
08:53Suddenly, I'm just like, I need to win this.
08:56That's like drawing the enemy lines now.
08:57Will we get this thing started?
08:59Yeah.
08:59Yeah.
09:08When we first met you guys in Palermo, it was like that couple minutes of hi, guys, and then it
09:14was off.
09:14I don't think I was thinking anything other than, can't believe I'm here.
09:18Yeah, yeah.
09:19And can't believe I'm about to do this.
09:21And this backpack's heavy.
09:22I hypnotised myself to believe that backpack was really light, didn't I?
09:26She did.
09:26But as soon as I got home, what the hell?
09:30After the first leg, I thought Katie and Harrison were just going to blow us out of the water.
09:36You know, a day and a half ahead of the first leg.
09:39You know, it's unbelievable.
09:41It was.
09:41It was very intimidating to have you guys so far ahead because we didn't know anything about you.
09:45You're a myth.
09:47But then when we met you, Harrison, you still impressed.
09:50Your understanding of budgeting and timings and, like, this overview that was almost like a computer.
09:56Felt like that.
09:58I couldn't turn it off.
09:58It is him, yeah.
10:02I've got a toiletry bag the size of a house.
10:06Yeah.
10:06Well, I've got all the useful stuff.
10:07I've got alarm clocks, compass.
10:10So you just bring, you know, the stuff you need and I'll bring the stuff for both of us.
10:14Yeah.
10:14Ooh, you're getting it now.
10:17Katie and older brother Harrison started the race with very different attitudes to money and planning.
10:24You definitely took the role with the budget.
10:26You're in a deep emotional relationship with your calculator.
10:31We have spent 8.5% this leg of our total budget.
10:36Which is very, very good.
10:38It works.
10:40Being a tight bastard works.
10:43Pocket meat and cheese.
10:46Really dry.
10:48Really dry is an understatement.
10:50Like I've just stuck my face in the Sahara Desert.
10:52I'm so sweet.
10:54I took it very personally as my responsibility to get us to that finish line.
10:58And it kind of soothes me to constantly be unthinking about it.
11:01Oh, look at this.
11:03This is not good for the budget.
11:05I've got a shot glass collection at home.
11:07Who buys all this shit?
11:13That really took over for me.
11:15Like I just couldn't help but be absorbed by the race and the race environment and not the experiences.
11:20Although the race environment is about winning, it's also about the unique way of travelling that you're doing by racing.
11:27I genuinely loved every second of it.
11:29You know, maybe I didn't have that drive because I was just enjoying it so much.
11:33Like, I just honestly had the best time ever.
11:36I think everyone will agree you were pure sunshine the whole way through.
11:39I think one day you were, like, you were sitting with a glass of Prosecco at Chequen,
11:42being like, I could be at work on a Monday.
11:46As they ventured further east, Katie's desire to pause and take it all in...
11:51..feels very much once in a lifetime.
11:54..started to shift Harrison's perspective on the race.
11:59I'm on a horse in Kyrgyzstan.
12:03It's incredible.
12:05That is just ridiculous.
12:08This is stunning.
12:19Birmingham.
12:22Picture of Tesco Express.
12:25Tesco.
12:25Tesco, yeah, Tesco.
12:27He was so chuffed with his picture of Tesco Express.
12:30Such a lovely moment, but funny.
12:33Why am I sat in a treehouse in Turkey looking at a picture of Tesco Express?
12:36It's a moment as well.
12:37That was kind of when I sort of let go a little bit and stopped and started to appreciate and
12:43spend time with people.
12:44And that's really where I came away with the sort of the mantra that, OK, this is actually what the
12:47race is about.
12:47Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
12:50Are you sure?
12:51Oh.
12:52What has he given you?
12:53It's a medal.
12:55Oh, half marathon.
12:57We are friends.
12:59Well, Harrison actually sent something, didn't you?
13:01Yeah, yeah.
13:02I have...
13:02We got in contact with the guy that sent me a medal.
13:05And I've sent him my one back.
13:07A little sort of UK hamper box.
13:09Oh, that's so nice.
13:10Yeah.
13:11You've come back and you've gone like...
13:14You've gone like, I need to travel, and I do think it has changed you.
13:18I have to say that I probably do see the value in it, the monetary value in it now.
13:22I've not spent my own money yet on it.
13:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:25But it might happen.
13:26I'm guessing now you've learnt that you...
13:28Firstly, it's not like a holiday.
13:29Well, I call it a bit a holiday sometimes.
13:31Maybe if you do it in Margo's way.
13:35Their growth as a team came from learning to open up to one another,
13:40deepening a bond in ways Katie had always wanted.
13:44I don't know, I feel, I just felt like, why is this affecting me and it's not affecting him?
13:49Like, how does he seem so OK about it all?
13:52I definitely think the race has helped me, like, verbalise, like, my feelings.
13:59Cos before, like, I might have felt like I wanted to say something to you,
14:03you know, something was bothering me, I thought I was upset or something.
14:06Erm, but I physically could not get the words out.
14:09Whereas now, I think, cos, yeah, the race is just a really intense environment
14:13and you've got to be supportive for each other.
14:16I just wanted to say, erm, like, I suppose thank you for...
14:21for being there and being...
14:23Well, that's really nice to hear, actually.
14:26I now just feel a lot more supported.
14:29Yeah, like, the race gave me a better understanding of you
14:32and you were a better understanding of me.
14:34Yeah, but you do grow and you have to, and it's a life experience
14:36and you have to accept it as a life experience and realise...
14:39Yeah. ...and take something from it, and you did.
14:41Yeah. Yeah.
14:44OK, got it?
14:45It's a good one for your hinge profile, Harrison.
14:47Makes you look really cool.
14:49I've got a man bag on there.
14:50Feels like I'm going to plunge your toilet.
14:53If it looks that bad, could you please try and help me?
14:58Together, come on.
15:01Oh, my God. Well done with the finish line.
15:04We wouldn't have been able to have as good of a time with anyone else.
15:07It was sort of the perfect combo, and we've got that for life.
15:10Yeah. This is breathtaking.
15:14Incredible.
15:16Oh, wow, look at that one.
15:18The teams were on the road for 51 days.
15:22Absolutely incredible.
15:23It's hard to find words, isn't it?
15:24It is. Absolutely, yeah.
15:26With cameras recording their every move.
15:29With them, a five-person team responsible
15:32for capturing the general views, known as the GV crew,
15:36who film the scale, beauty and rich variety of the journey.
15:43If I want to give up teaching,
15:44there's one job I would want to have.
15:46It's the crew.
15:47They do all those picturesque shots.
15:49Yeah, yeah.
15:49What a job to be able to do.
15:51We're shooting Athens out today.
15:53We've been up here since half six this morning.
15:56A big bank of cloud came in and kind of killed us a little bit.
16:00Sometimes it helps.
16:01It came out and, like, created all these shadows across the city.
16:04But thankfully, the weather's picked up.
16:06The sun is shining.
16:12The team that take these incredible shots really get to be creative
16:17and think about how to capture this beautiful area in the best way possible,
16:22which is what you see on the screens.
16:23So they essentially inspire the whole of the UK
16:27and whoever watches a race across the world to want to go to these places
16:30by the way they capture it on camera.
16:34Wow. Look at this.
16:36We're going to shoot this time-lapse over the mountains.
16:39It is beautiful here. The landscape is incredible.
16:47And it's heckling. They've got so much stuff, right?
16:50They've got long distance cameras, wide shot lenses, they've got close-ups,
16:53they've got everything.
16:55Yeah, they smashed it.
17:00Alongside the GV crew, there are three more vital teams
17:04dovetailing seamlessly to bring the race to life.
17:08Combs check.
17:10In London, a 20-strong team of producers, researchers and production management
17:16following evolving stories and potential routes.
17:20You've got someone who is relaying back every decision,
17:23everything we say to the head office in London,
17:26who, obviously, on UK time.
17:30It feels like the brain of...
17:33Control centre.
17:34Control centre.
17:35There you go.
17:35I'm thinking about it medically,
17:36but they're like the brain of race across the world,
17:38and then you have, like, the limbs in...
17:40Oh, God!
17:41On location, a small embedded filming crew,
17:45living and breathing every step of the race with each pair.
17:49How are you feeling right now?
17:50I think that's your duvet, Aaron.
17:52Is it the duvet?
17:53That's the smaller one. The bigger one should be the sheer.
17:56You're going to put your lavender spray on it.
18:00And finally, the checkpoint crew,
18:03who are one step ahead of the racers,
18:06tracking their every move and planning for all eventualities.
18:10I've got Joe and Kush.
18:12I've got 10am. Do you think that's right?
18:14Yeah, I think they're about 60 minutes away.
18:15There's a whole team that stays in the checkpoint
18:18and they've got their own job to do.
18:19If they go the most efficient way,
18:21they'll get a car all the way up to there,
18:23but there are various other points
18:25that they could get dropped on the hill.
18:28They're responsible for setting up and testing the final run
18:32to each new checkpoint hotel.
18:35Oh, my God!
18:36Yay!
18:37Hotel, I'm Elise.
18:38I'm Elise.
18:40There we go!
18:41There we go!
18:43And they're to support each team on their arrival.
18:46Say hi, Hannah. Give me the camera.
18:49What's your role, Hannah?
18:51My role is to look after cars when they're at checkpoint,
18:55make sure they're fed, watered, happy, healthy, and that's it.
19:00Once the planning's done, it's over to the race.
19:05Unpredictable, unscripted,
19:06and whatever happens, whenever teams arrive,
19:10the crew has to be ready.
19:11We are here at the finale location
19:14and we are just waiting for one of the teams to come in.
19:17Where the spit is, there's a direct line of sight,
19:19so we don't want the cars to see us,
19:21so we're having to lie down and hide,
19:24voiced for the signal.
19:28OK, let's go, go, go, go, everyone!
19:32That is a spit, isn't it?
19:33Yeah.
19:34When you're coming in to checkpoint,
19:36it gets really exciting, doesn't it?
19:38Ah, here we go!
19:41I'm about to have sent some messages.
19:44Into these devices for the runway.
19:46The fumes.
19:47Good.
19:51Find the amphitheatre and the way for the instructions.
19:54We need to find them in a row.
19:55I think it's at the other side of the bridge.
19:58OK, ready? Power everything up.
20:03Yeah.
20:03Is this right?
20:04Yeah.
20:06There are two blocks in there.
20:08Yeah.
20:12Bonnie.
20:14Margot's here.
20:15Margot, it's here.
20:16Yes!
20:17Copy that, we're rolling.
20:20Here it is, John.
20:25Please, silence here.
20:28What?
20:44As the checkpoint is approached,
20:46the reality of each precious minute falls into focus.
20:51Lads, we're going to beat you.
20:52No way.
20:54Come on, Mark.
20:55With every team throwing their all into the chance
20:58to climb the leaderboard.
21:01Hey, go speed up, man.
21:02You OK, Poshy?
21:03I'm good, Poshy.
21:04Faster, faster!
21:06We've got a checkpoint to get to!
21:08Get me out of this taxi and ready to run.
21:10Traffic jump.
21:12It just felt like tables turned so quickly.
21:16We can't afford to make any mistakes
21:18and we've already made one.
21:19The crew can give you absolutely no help
21:22and it can be very easy to go like,
21:24guys, you're giving me nothing here,
21:25but they can't because then it's not fair.
21:28Is this actually a joke?
21:29Don't ask what's going on because they don't know!
21:32They had to walk through every stupid decision we made
21:36knowing we were going in the wrong direction.
21:38So, actually, we're kind of going back on ourselves.
21:39Yeah.
21:40Oh, God.
21:42But having the lead is one bus journey away.
21:45Big money moves.
21:46Big money moves.
21:46Right, little money moves.
21:47It's right there!
21:49Yes, Poshy!
21:50God!
21:51I hope and pray, no?
21:55We were looking out for the boys
21:57because we noticed you becoming more savvy and more competitive
22:00because you said from the first,
22:03we're in it, we're really seriously in it to win it,
22:05but there was more and more, like,
22:06we're not going to talk to you, you could be a threat,
22:08and it was, these guys...
22:10So, you guys, because you're clever, that's the thing.
22:11Wolfies are very, very, like...
22:12But quite quickly, you were like, zoop!
22:15Here are the boys!
22:16How are we?
22:17Do you know where you're going now?
22:18Yeah.
22:18Right, you guys, you got a plan?
22:20Yeah.
22:20We have a plan, yeah.
22:21Are we allowed to know where you're heading to?
22:24They're trying to probably have funds.
22:25Yes, you're trying to get up.
22:26They're trying to get information out.
22:27See you, boys.
22:28We'll see you guys, too.
22:29Take care.
22:30Oh, no, best friends last night.
22:33Sworn enemies today.
22:34Dad, whoa!
22:35Oh!
22:36We were there to win, really.
22:38We are, we were there.
22:39I've been saying this from the start.
22:40We both have been saying this from the start.
22:41We were there to win.
22:42Well, I think I have to win.
22:43You just want to do better than everyone else.
22:46Oh, yeah, but...
22:47You want five and six, they win.
22:50We're ten short.
22:51Is there any way we could change money?
22:53I don't know, we're...
22:54There was a situation where Molly and Andrew were ten euros short.
22:58You wouldn't give us a tenner for a tenner, no?
23:00Oh, that's a shame.
23:01Thought not.
23:02That's a shame.
23:04And I was like, nah, realistically, we're here to win.
23:07I feel like we should help them all.
23:08No.
23:09Oh, lad, what are you trying?
23:11You were very, very down to just lend them a bit of money.
23:14I'm, I'm, I'm glad we didn't give any money.
23:16I'm glad.
23:17Set a precedent.
23:19100%.
23:20I would very much say that your experience was to win,
23:23and you really enjoyed it, and the whole way through
23:25we were very competitive, obviously, but we were forced,
23:29we were trying our hardest, and we were still coming in,
23:31and, erm, like, we were constantly in the back of the pack,
23:34back of the pack, and it was about staying in it.
23:36People talk about strategies.
23:37If we had any strategy coming into this
23:39was to stay in the game as long as possible
23:41and then try and win it at the end.
23:43And that's what we did.
23:44Yeah.
23:44Were you two right behind each other at the final play?
23:46We went out of the night.
23:47Not speaking to you again.
23:49That's it.
23:50It's all right.
23:51That's okay.
23:52The gloves are off.
23:54But there's a good, good amount of luck,
23:56and, like, I think, like, the favourite moments for me,
23:59and it sounds so sad, but it was when, like,
24:01connecting transport just worked out.
24:03Honest to God.
24:04Like, I just couldn't relax until I knew what transport was going on.
24:08Elimination leg.
24:09Mr Meany made us wait for a bus.
24:11I decided on budget terms that we should wait
24:14and get the bus rather than pay the taxi.
24:16And we waited three...
24:18Three and a half hours.
24:19Three and a half hours for a bus.
24:20You should have waited 12.
24:26Smile.
24:30Your shoes get wet.
24:31Wet shoes.
24:32I love my feet right now.
24:34They're very happy.
24:36The cousins embarked on the race to step away
24:39from the busy careers they'd worked hard to build
24:41and embrace a more unpredictable way of life.
24:46Pepperonchino.
24:47Calabrese.
24:48This is different.
24:50Roche is absolutely smashing it.
24:52She's maintained her energy levels.
24:54Look at her.
24:55She's so cute.
24:56Quanta.
25:02What are you doing? Oh, no.
25:04Yes, you can.
25:05Why?
25:05Yes, you can.
25:08So, growing up, you know, we lived, like, two streets away.
25:11We were, like, very close.
25:14But life happens.
25:15I think the goal of just going onto this is we'd both been in our careers for, like, ten years.
25:20Um, so life gets very intense.
25:23And we wanted to do something about that.
25:26This guy.
25:27He is a guard of the gods.
25:29Okay, he's waving.
25:31I've always wanted to take time off, but there's always been a reason not to.
25:35So I guess race kind of forced us to take the time off, and it kind of, it showed that
25:39it's not the end of the world.
25:42Where are you going?
25:43Ah!
25:44Oh, sorry.
25:46What time is the bus?
25:49Yes!
25:50Yes!
25:51I'm feeling pumped.
25:52We're flying high.
25:53I think we've handled ourselves really well on this leg.
25:56I'm excited, Posh.
25:58We're second.
26:00We're second.
26:03It's been a wake-up call.
26:05With family, you always think people are going to be around, but actually, you need to put in that effort
26:09to make sure
26:10you keep that relationship.
26:12And, you know, we just, we wanted to make sure this didn't break us.
26:16And it's actually made us stronger.
26:18Yeah.
26:19But their momentum faltered in Turquia.
26:22We asked about buses tonight, but unfortunately there wasn't anything available.
26:26It gives the other teams time to catch up.
26:28And arriving in last at the third checkpoint led to their surprise elimination.
26:34Please sign in at Overleaf.
26:35Oh!
26:36Oh, my God.
26:38We're last.
26:46I think when we saw the book, we didn't expect that everybody would have done so well on that leg.
26:54But you guys aced it.
26:55But saying that, it was a great leg.
26:58Yeah.
26:58Like, we had an incredible time.
26:59And honestly, Mongolia was for you guys.
27:03Like, I'm so happy that you guys had that adventure.
27:06Also, we got to go on our own adventure.
27:09Yeah.
27:09We went on a trip to Vietnam after all of this ended.
27:15It was just such a great place.
27:18We got to have really good food.
27:22Get massages.
27:23Yeah.
27:23We just had our own experience.
27:25We planned to go away together again with our husbands, with our families.
27:31So, if this had not happened, I don't think we would be doing that.
27:35I don't think we would be as proactive.
27:37Yeah.
27:37You think about, like, what race and travel has given each one of us.
27:42It has brought you together.
27:43And, like, my wife has said to me, like, who are you travelling with?
27:46All that kind of thing.
27:46And I say, like, beautiful girl who's an anesthetist.
27:49And I go, I just want Molly to turn out like you.
27:53And I mean, that's just amazing and lifelong friends, hopefully.
27:56Yeah.
27:57Absolutely.
27:58We missed you though, honestly.
28:00We wanted to sign your names in the book as well.
28:03Oh.
28:11That is amazing.
28:12For all the teams, this was a journey defined by endurance and extremes.
28:18Look, look, look.
28:19Oh, that is really nice.
28:20You can see the whole coast.
28:21From the sun-baked coastlines of Europe to the untamed expanse of Central Asia.
28:27Oh, my God.
28:30Look at this.
28:31It is like the Wild West mark.
28:33Look at this.
28:34It is, isn't it? Yeah.
28:36Into the sub-zero temperatures of Mongolia.
28:39Ooh.
28:39Feel the cold.
28:42Retracing a path steeped in history along the Old Silk Road,
28:46they encountered a huge variety of people and local customs.
28:52My father.
28:53Oh.
28:53Hello, hello. Nice to meet you.
28:55Hello, hello, hello.
28:56Hello. Nice to meet you.
28:58Jeremy was the leader of Mancai.
29:00My daughter.
29:01He is the leader of Mancai.
29:05Amen.
29:07It is just such an extreme, isn't it?
29:11You just started off in central-mainland Europe, where you had all the comforts, really,
29:15of home and and then going to just it literally it's mad once you left europe yes and went to
29:24kazakhstan it was an alien environment it was rocky it was dry it was arid and from that point
29:31yeah it was a completely different journey but even from the trains did you you must have got
29:36to see like scenery nothing there's absolutely nothing it's like being on the moon i can't
29:43describe it there is nothing there you really throughout the whole experience went from one to
29:49the other done it went from language to no language do you have afto um car machine after after not
30:00to
30:00transport to no trust yeah the bus it's all closed yeah yes i found the bus station it's just a
30:08shed
30:09holy moly traffic jam look at them there's millions of them yeah i'd say this year race is very much
30:16extreme that's the word to sum it up i think it's just so nice that you just you're worried that
30:23ah they don't speak the same language but you find a way to communicate like whether it's you dancing
30:28with everyone or you know our man with the tesco like you you like yeah you find calm and growing
30:34you'll always find a way to communicate that was like the most beautiful thing yeah yeah when we
30:39did all these homestays like to live and sleep on the same roof share the food like this is such
30:44a
30:44privilege it's even more of a privilege in my eyes than being able to afford like the five star hotels
30:50no they treated us like family oh my god you've done that so well thank you
31:02places that we went were very different to the western world it was a real it was a culture
31:06shock in the coolest way this is a really big deal oh my god there's an eagle hello nice to
31:14meet you
31:15that's good yes it's nice to meet you you are so beautiful thank you
31:23i love the outfits this what i think we're both searching for on in this journey as a whole
31:28is the experiences that aren't readily accessible
31:37it's very bitter i quite like delicious look at him delicious good he's very good yeah
31:45but when we got to mongolia it really got hard for us we really struggled it felt like your choices
31:53were kind of taken away from you because at the start it was kind of do you go by boat
31:57do you go by
31:57train do you go by car do you go by taxi it then just became get there you couldn't be
32:02competitive
32:03with each other you were just being competitive against mongolia is the best way to put it is that
32:07you were fighting the elements i think like the temperature swing the whole way we figured out
32:11was like a 54 degree temperature swing from hottest to coldest and it's just i was looking forward to
32:16the the cold but maybe not that cold maybe i maybe i wish too hard for that like your clothes
32:22had to
32:23change you close for italy greece and wild temperatures and then all of a sudden those
32:30clothes just kind of you should have just thrown them out we couldn't just throw them out had less
32:34weight to carry no just layering up just layering up mongolia just wore the same out for every single
32:38day yes yes and all your clothes yeah honestly did anything never change your clothes in mongolia because
32:44i didn't know but as somebody who's only kind of really gone on family holidays yeah i really really
32:52struggled with the the did i have the ability to put a backpack on me and travel in that way
32:59always wanted to do it as a child always wanted to do it as a young person and never did
33:03it because
33:04it was pure want to do it but it was a fear yes kind of stopped you doing it before
33:08it was a physical
33:10test as well as a mental test one of the reasons i did lack self-confidence and in my ability
33:16to do it
33:16was was the heart attack and the heart attack put me back kind of mentally quite a bit i'm starting
33:24off in sicily my god it'd be amazing for andrew the race became a way to see the world look
33:32at that
33:32molly absolutely stunning and prove his heart attack three years ago wouldn't hold him back i would
33:39always say to children uh in in class the world you're oyster go and enjoy it but i never lived
33:46it
33:47and i was always kind of a bit of a fraud that way whoo jesus
33:56you're sweating the relief of getting to that first checkpoint yeah and signing that book yeah give me
34:05the shot in the arm i looked at you and said we can do this the stamina's there we can
34:09enjoy it as
34:10well we could enjoy it it's my first train in italy molly you know my love of trains look at
34:16the
34:16striations of the rock the way they're going down the lines oh my god never seen these before ever
34:23different way of doing it total different way of doing beekeeping and there's your honey
34:27seeing the mountains seeing the landscape seeing where people live that's what i do that's what i love
34:34really looking forward to getting out in the kayak i have my own kayak in at home but i've never
34:39actually used it because of my uh dickie ticker my dickie ticker so uh haven't been able to do it
34:45so
34:45yeah be lovely
34:51out in the open water look at those mountains
35:02i've wanted to do that for a long time kid to prove to me that i could uh it wasn't
35:11going to get me
35:14sorry
35:14it was so nice to kind of have with kayaking and like just that whole thing to us was just
35:28really special
35:29like you kind of have to cherish those moments it's very important to cherish those moments
35:33just enjoy it and that's i think i tried to say that to everyone i absolutely enjoy it we actually
35:38been kayaking since i've actually booked a trip we're going to uh norway with my wife i think that
35:46whole rocky coast all the way up there would be unbelievable yeah and we've booked kayaking in the
35:54few words oh wow i'll be beautiful i don't want to be stuck at a train station for molly the
36:02race was an
36:03opportunity to find her own path in life and prove her independence is there a bus to kiva both no
36:11taxi taxi taxi i don't know what to do i don't know before the race i would have found it
36:16very
36:16difficult those big decisions i would have overthought it i would have i would have got annoyed myself
36:22especially if it went wrong i don't want 100 i want 70 70 70. daddy he did for 70. well
36:34done good call
36:35yeah i do think now i am a wee bit more self-confident that contentment has come with my decisions
36:42people need their doctor to be confident because that's who you're looking to for answers so it's
36:48really nice to sleep at night and not have thoughts and thoughts and thoughts and thoughts
36:53it was a definite change in molly towards the end yeah there was a strong sense of more confidence
36:58yeah and more decidedness
37:18i think pre-race we kind of proved to each other and like in life we proved to each other
37:23we're good
37:24father and daughter and i think race the one thing that allowed us to prove to each other is we're
37:28a good
37:28team and that is we can make decisions we can have equal opinion and hold each other and be like
37:35yeah no that's good that's bad and communicate we've done we did it we did it all right
37:54yeah absolutely there's features of beauty isn't there yeah good stonework mega
38:05also looking to strengthen their bond and find a new dynamic in-laws mark and margot
38:11oh wow i'd love to have a go on one of these i know you come on you get one
38:16i get one
38:16um going with mark though i i really wanted this but i i there was a little bit we weren't
38:24completely
38:24comfortable were we not at all no uh i found her annoying margot thought i was a boring
38:33old fogey basically judgy and boring judgy and boring yes yeah you may all know julie's last dying
38:39wish was that we became friends we continued and build our friendship and that's what we did
38:46i love naples absolutely brilliant place i hate it i loath naples i just didn't enjoy it at all
38:53i did think how's it going to go with mark how are we going to be on the race and
38:58i have to say some
38:58people were a little bit doubtful about the two of us doing it together they were a little bit why
39:04are you
39:04going with mark what in god's name it's a white cocoon what what's it for what did you what what
39:12it's modesty so i just think it was ridiculous but as the race progressed we didn't have a care in
39:20the world did we not care in the world trying it flat on like that oh okay okay
39:32now we're talking now we are talking
39:39we're just two people enjoying the moment yeah and we were just having a a bit of a laugh weren't
39:45we really we were yes and it just organically just grew
39:54the last two legs of it was so hard in mongolia that's when the real it's the real cement between
39:59us because it's that's when it was we we were on our knees and we just yeah and we needed
40:04each
40:04other and we both needed to really pull together didn't we and support each other yeah
40:13nope the busiest of highways is it no if you miss a rush hour we had to suffer i think
40:21we had to
40:21suffer and push and strive for it really to be the adventure that it was and for it to truly
40:29make us
40:30unite and and have each other's back we're doing blue sky thinking today that's all we can do
40:38you know this determination to finish a side of margot i'd never seen before
40:43it's what kept me going just about do you go to hawk cordon yes oh god so kind thank you
40:50off we go
40:51we're doing it our way and we never ever give up as a team we've always forged on it we've
40:57always
40:58forged on and i'm so proud of for doing that you know i would have given up i would have
41:03given up
41:04without margot being there i wouldn't give up on you though mark i know you wouldn't and that was so
41:09that was that and that's a sign of friendship uh here's to you julia wherever you are yeah
41:15who inspired us who inspired us thank you julia yeah thank you julia she's laughing
41:24for margot traveling was also an opportunity to step away from her day-to-day routine
41:30part of coming on the race was like running away from real life and just enjoying myself
41:35and just be me for a change and just go let rip taking respite from her responsibilities
41:41like caring for her elderly mum since i've got back from the race i've been more centered i did feel
41:49like dorothy coming back in the wizard of arts you know coming home and there is no place like home
41:53i was kind of in a way running away from my situation in life but now actually the determination i
42:01was applying to those challenges i've applied them to my life this bbc bbc yes race across the world
42:10to make things nicer to make things easier and so i'm living that best life but in liverpool
42:17oh my goodness for mark the race also became something more oh my gosh
42:25shifting his perspective on life itself it's unbelievable this wildness it's strange to say
42:33you know at 67 i was always embarrassed about doing things i thought what people might say what people
42:39might think i just don't couldn't care less now anyway it's because margot she's very open and very
42:45free and doesn't worry what people think about her and i've taken that on board you were first on the
42:49dance floor in sylanka as well he led he led the party oh it was yes yeah the bailer yeah
42:56you know
42:57for us we will win us because we don't want to set out to do and we'd won for julia
43:02that was the
43:02thing yeah yes we are good good friends we're mates now we are yeah mates do you think you'd go
43:08on
43:08holiday again well we've been talking about it yes we have been talking about it and we'd like
43:14adventure we do want to we we are definitely up for adventure like it's so nice that you have that
43:19relationship together and you've built that for julia like wherever she is now i'm sure she's very
43:25happy to see you both like this it's almost like she was on the race with you yeah she was
43:29on the
43:29race yeah it's a lovely legacy lovely legacy
43:40arriving in mongolia the filming teams faced one of the toughest environments the race had come up
43:47against navigating extreme weather and limited infrastructure after months of meticulous planning
44:01planning of mongolia it must have been a huge endeavor for everyone we're here in mongolia it's
44:06all very exciting we've got this massive map of uh the country that our level fixes have um lent us
44:13and we basically have just got all of the stops and the potential places we think that the cast might
44:18be headed we just need to make sure we know where all the teams are at all times to ensure
44:23safety
44:24production members keep the teams trackable and in sight whenever they travel by car
44:28and what are called follow vehicles so this is day 42 of race across the world and i'm in our
44:37sb
44:38following the cast and crew they are they are over here i'm currently wrangling yesterday's rushes
44:47uh this is my office uh this is my office that's the final two weeks of race and this just
44:53feels like
44:54an absolute privilege and pleasure to be here filming this it's in the middle of nowhere but
45:03i actually currently can't hear them because we've got so many devices plugged into
45:08we've got walkies we've got phones we've got garments currently the only way we can contact the sv is
45:16with our garment so yes we're on our own
45:20all right weather again we may need six twenty minus 25 degrees it's going to be cool stay
45:35covered properly yeah it's still warm well while we're in here in mongolia it's cold during the day
45:46and even colder at night so we need quick access to extra layers after sunset from italy to mongolia
45:52we've gone from plus 30 down to minus 30 which in itself brings new problems where italy was sunburn
46:01here with topothermia to battle the sub-zero conditions everyone on the ground had to be
46:07equipped with extreme cold weather gear this is where we slept last night but the stove was off
46:14it's exceptionally lots of layers on it is quite extreme here the worst part of the entire night
46:19was doing snoring guys that's such a film that is your snoring your snoring it's colder than than i
46:26expected about you the coats we had the outfits like we'd put your hood up and pull the zip ties
46:33and
46:33you'd literally have a little space like this to look through like it was it was it was fun yeah
46:39but
46:39i think i think i grossly underestimated how cold it was gonna be ending in mongolia was just crazy it
46:48is
46:48so cold yeah oh my god where are you going we don't have a clue there's just such vastness and
46:58so
46:58many random things can happen so for the crew the amount of planning needed to try and get 10 idiots
47:04to race across the world is insane
47:11i mean when we when we started uh this whole journey we was all we always said we were like
47:15when we travel we want to live it but me and joe have never really we spent some time together
47:19being like little holidays but it's never been more than like what like a week two weeks we've
47:23ever spent at the same time and so it was nothing to what i'd imagined this is important
47:31slides are short and these comfort comfort is your best friend those are old man's shoes down there
47:37those are old man's shoes eager to make every second count fresh out of college joe and
47:44cush wanted to explore life beyond the familiar world they were raised in by their mums in liverpool
47:51this is our plan this is our security which i'm going to be taken charge of
47:56we still need to be on it with cush sometimes because we've got our passports yeah yeah
48:02excuse me we try to say it Liverpool's a small place we've gone up the city don't get me wrong
48:07but
48:08it's kind of like you still don't scale it's how probably the world is i mean coming into this
48:14once we applied we realized we are probably going to be the youngest come on so i think with youth
48:19comes this uh this preconception of like a lack of maturity um lack of life experience we see ourselves
48:27as the underdogs we've seen ourselves as the yeah the least capable and i think it's flipped in it
48:33it is last 3 a.m in the morning yes 3 a.m in the morning i don't think any
48:39teams could have done it
48:40faster don't judge a book by his cover i think one thing about me and joe's we are actually we're
48:46good at different things we work well with what the other person lacked is and like me i'm i sort
48:51of
48:51overthought a lot and i was like ah we have to do with everything and think of it in a
48:54specific way
48:54and some and joe would be like no just act do so that's where i would have probably held us
48:59back
49:00if i kept trying to plan everything i would still be in palermo if i if i if you weren't
49:04there but
49:07you you you're behind the strategy you're you're like you're very calculated and i think
49:12i focus too much on the present whereas you look so far into the future it helped me see the
49:17finish
49:17line if that makes if that makes sense actually joe and kush i feel like you make the mistakes at
49:23the
49:23beginning and you learn from those mistakes early on and then you ace it for the final round which is
49:29it's what i think you guys basically did trying to best yeah well especially being being last
49:34it's a kick is a kick up the kick up the ass you know what i mean although he sustained
49:38a drive to
49:39succeed uzbekistan this way she doesn't know he's gone oh my days kush struggled with his mental health
49:48we need to do for this price in no way oh i feel sick i think the race was probably
49:57the peak of my of
49:58my strolls when i was losing the most sleep the risk of making one wrong choice had such a impact
50:08you have a lot to worry about i'm gonna be thinking the entire night been such a rough day
50:13i had a lot of reminders of my dad and it dug up a lot of feelings that i hadn't
50:18dealt with
50:19we can still do this god we just can't give up i think a lot of the race involves how
50:29you cope with
50:29stress because if you let the stress get to you you will break and you can literally you could go
50:36home
50:36and you can't expect to go on a journey and expect it to be all fine but i know you're
50:41benefiting from
50:43venting just talking yeah
50:47i just really appreciate the fact that joe's always up for for sort of looking after me in a way
50:58yeah i mean yes he's my best mate
51:05but yeah we we kept each other saying we we we kept moving
51:11oh come on bro panel spin and we never gave up once
51:19what wait how did you do that bro
51:24i've started seeing a weekly counsellor just to help process my emotions and i think it's really
51:28really helped nothing to do with the race just in day-to-day life and now i can learn to
51:32handle
51:33myself a lot better but it's about learning yeah it's learning and life's about learning and learning
51:38as you make as you go on better learn it now when you're younger yeah and when you're 67. the
51:44one
51:45thing the race did teach as well is it is actually okay to ask for help i mean we couldn't
51:48have done
51:48it without asking for only hundreds of people helped us on our journey i'm going to pay them
51:54what are you serious yeah oh my god oh my god thank you so much you've been so much help
52:08how many times a week do you eat sardine five five time a week yeah that way strong yeah yes
52:15no gym no no nothing the people they met and the confidence they gained from them
52:25inspired joe to travel independently taking his first solo trip to the gambia
52:31i think yeah the the race definitely encouraged me to continue traveling and i don't think i would
52:36have gone to gambia without it i did get in contact with this family who owned a farm
52:41and they look for travelers to come help them work and in return they get food a shelter and a
52:48family to
52:49chill with and that's what i did and i did i explained how i wanted to explore explore my heritage
52:57and i think they they resonated with that they were they were very caring
53:02what would you like to do next what do you fancy doing we've got no no real plan at the
53:06moment in
53:07terms of if the future but i know that we both are going to travel we don't know where yet
53:11but
53:11you know it's gonna happen at 19 years old you guys have accomplished something so major in your
53:17life i wish i was doing the stuff like this when i was 19 i was just revising for exams

53:43succeed
53:44three two one
53:54i feel this race is bigger than a degree you're you're actually joking
54:06the biggest thing i've taken from the race is that uh life's to be lived
54:11and go and enjoy it it's not all be all end all yeah like there is another way and actually
54:17the
54:17winds end up being a lot sweeter because you've dealt with the low you can just do whatever you want
