Race Across the World

I love how kind and welcoming the hosts are when the teams do a family stay. Even with the language barrier their warmth and interest is heart warming. And those who give free lifts too.

I have really enjoyed all the series I have watched. So many interesting countries which I will never see, so second best, I watch from my sofa.

The two Liverpool boys are so nice and kind to each other. It would be nice if they won.

I’ve only started watching this series the other day and am on the turkey one. I think it’s the 3rd episode. Istanbul and Cappadoccia are on my bucket list .
So far I haven’t really gelled with the contestants , but it’s early days .

I also like the brother and sister Harrison and Katie, they seem to have had a tough time caring for their mother for ten years and they are only 23 and 21.

I'm another one rooting for the two youngsters from Liverpool. Such lovely kind boys who seem to really appreciate the whole experience

I really like the two young boys from Liverpool. They are so kind and willing to soak up this experience.

They are growing in confidence during their travels.

They are lovely young men, their parents must be so proud of them, I love their close friendship. I am rooting for them in the same way that I was for the two young boys in Series 4.

Think that was Alfie and Owen - did they not win that series? I really liked them - and I like Jo and Kush too. I'd like to see them win, I think.

Race Across the World has done well with its boy duos, I like these two very much. There were another couple of lovely boys a season or so ago. I think one was called Alfie and he'd lost his mum when he was very young. I'd be very happy to see the boys win. I also like Margo, there aren't any I dislike.

All the scenery, as always, has been wonderful, Cappadocia would take some beating. Last night's was so interesting and the blue mosques just stunning. What lovely people too

I hope the Liverpudlian boys win, they are so kind and likeable.

The lads make me laugh.

I like the other couples, but I'm not jelling to any of them this time.

Thanks for the explanations. Yes Granny Gravy those lads seem really appreciative of the whole experience.
My friends are booked for Uzbekistan with a tour group this month so I shall hear how they get on. It won't be without mobile phones!

I enjoy it for the glimpses of real local life and fabulous scenery.

The actual racing and the sad personal stories are somewhat repetitive.

How is it filmed? Are each couple accompanied by a photographer who runs alongside? 😂

Yes I believe each team has camera crew with them (2 people).

I thought planes were off limits but they took a flight last night. They have taken a flight before bit I think that was because there was civil unrest in the country they were due to visit and the route had to change.

I loved last night's episode. Spectacular cities and wonderful scenery. Very different cultures, fascinating stuff. The "Stans" had been on my bucket list but Covid and bad health put a stop to my travelling days.

It was a similar situation with the flight in last night's episode - the land border crossing was closed, so they had to fly instead.

It's become a favourite programme, it showcases amazing and sometimes little known places so well. My only gripe is I wish they wouldn't offload the team that comes last a few weeks in.

I love Race Across the World. All of the series have been so exciting, and it's nothing like a travel programme that is just advertising tourist resorts.

As Ursula the Seawitch said,
"Never underestimate the power of body language." I can always tell when MrIlovedogs is fan-girling someone.

This completely passed me by, I must watch the first episode before Thursday.

They formed a bond when looking after her sister/ his wife before she died.

He, not ‘her’

Yes, but I got the impression that her was doing to make a point. As they were close family I would expect him to call her Margo(t).
Not that it matters at all.

Yes she says her name as Margo, yet he calls her Margaret. There’s probably more to them than meets the eye. I await the back story! Other than her role as devoted sister to his late wife.
Maybe I’m reading too much into it.
I love the program, if only I was young enough to go on it.

Wasn't Princess Margaret called by the family Margot?
It's a form of Margaret so I believe is Daisy.
