Race Across the World

I don't have a hankering to visit Mongolia, interesting, but too cold and too bleak. I think I'd rewind back to the starting point of Palermo and then the Greek Islands. I thought Anatolia looked spectacular and very interested in the "Stans"

MayBee70 I agree, I now have a hankering to go to Mongolia…

I have a dvd of a film called The Story of the Weeping Camel which won some awards several years ago; I’ve been fascinated by the place since watching it.

I've loved this series.
Getting a glimpse of countries I'll never visit.

I'm so pleased the boys won. Such lovely young men.
I wonder what they plan to do with the winnings.

Very happy that Jo and Kush won - they do seem like lovely young lads. I loved Katie too though - she was always so positive and upbeat. Glad to see Margo and Mark make it to the end as well - thought they might run out of money at the last minute.

I was delighted that the lovely boys won. I haven't watched the reunion yet, will do so tonight.

I was delighted they won too. One of them was going to use the money to help his mum put down a deposit on a house, I think.

I’ve loved the whole series especially them going through all the “Stans”. Much more beautiful and colourful than I had thought.

I’m also pleased that the two young men won. They certainly are a credit to their families and Liverpool, a city that often gets a bad press.

The ‘ Stans’ were really interesting, a mixture of the ancient traditions and modern world. I was fascinated by the taxi/ lift system, although some of the roads looked scary.

I always wondered how they filmed it- the last episode with reunion also explained a lot about how they do it. There's a huge team involved, but although some are in close contact with competitors, they don't help them at all, even if they know they're travelling in the wrong direction!

Fabulous series, glad Margo and Mark finnished the trip, it was touch and go for them at the end.

Mongolia, I have never seen before how the majority live, that was an eye opener. Don't think I will be booking a holiday there though.

The Boys did good, I was hoping it would be Katie and Harrison but pleased those young lads pulled it off.
Great series.

I don’t know if it’s too late to reopen this thread but I just wanted to say what a brilliant series this was, the best one yet after watching the final last night, and the interesting programme that followed about how it’s made. I think it’s a fabulous concept and the first one had my grandchildren pouring over a battered atlas, so educational as well. We were both fascinated by Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan and of course Mongolia, fantastic camera work of places that don’t get much coverage. Amazingly hospitable people, although I think I’d have struggled with the food produced on the home stays! Rude to refuse. I had no idea that horses were bred exclusively for milk and meat. We liked all of the contestants but were very pleased that the scouse boys won. I just wonder what the next route will be. Well done BBC which isn’t something I say often.

It was a brilliantly enlightening series and the right pair won.

I agree with Bazza, wonderful stuff. I loved all the couples. The boys who won deserved it and I hope it's opened their eyes to the possibilities out there for their future. The world is indeed their oyster.
Loved the brother and sister in law, oh goodness I loved them all and Mongolia what an amazing experience.

I love this series but this one was fabulous and I really liked all contestants. However, I so wanted the boys to win, I almost cried when they did. The filming and the scenery in the Stans was absolutely magical, what an amazing adventure for everyone who took part. I'd love to go but tbh I don't think I'd manage the food as I can be a little picky especially with meat. I can't wait for the next series. Well done Jo and Kush, they are definitely role models for their generation.
