I thought that Kevin laughing at the women when they couldn't get the bus, told me all I need to know about Kevin.

What an unpleasant man.

I am totally hooked, Canada is just beautiful and I am finding the couples interesting too. I hadn't seen series 1 or 2 but binge watched series 1 over 3 days, OH has banned me from watching series 2 straightaway but I might just take a sneak. Watching last night's prog tonight!

I loved the example set by the father who washed down the vehicle in which they had been given a lift. The daughter, who couldn't understand why, was taught that one good turn deserves another.

I started watching it as I've visited Vancouver, Vancouver Island and British Columbia several times. However, I'm "hooked" and now looking forward to see who will win. I also hope that it will be the two friends.

BBC IPlayer, 3 episodes in.

Loved the last Race Across the World, Mexico to Argentina. This one is equally exciting, well to me at any rate because I remember the starting point of Stanley Park, Vancouver, a beautiful park but it's vast so no surprise the women had difficulty finding the exit.. We did the long and at times tedious Rocky Mountaineer rail journey between Vancouver and Banff stuck behind a goods train for hours on end and not a bear to be seen anywhere sad in spite of fixedly staring out the window trying to spot one.

Very sorry the brothers have now been eliminated, loved the positive, try anything once younger one, encouraging his full of trepidation older sibling. I don't mind who wins they all seem deserving of that, maybe less keen on the "bossy" dad who occasionally goes off into one with daughter. Love the other dad though. The programme gives the viewer an insight into the vastness and sheer majesty of Canada, I just saw a corner of the west coast an amazing country.

We are enjoying it, the scenery is stunning. (We are hoping Godson who is living in Banff will get married there so we can attend and add on some site seeing)

My preference is for the two ladies to win.

I like people watching on holiday, etc so this is right up my street.

I like it - enjoyed the first two series as well.

Is this the best program on TV just now?

If the 2 women don't win I shall be so disappointed! They are inspirational.

(I couldn't find another thread on this, apologies if I've missed it.)
