Race Across the World

Thanks.
Did I read Sicily is the starting point?
Once mylast week's holiday washing has gone through the machine, and I've collected the dog, I'll be in the mood for a curry and good TV.

Looking forward to it

Love this programme so will be watching.

Oh yes, I love this, its brilliant.
I just hope there aren't too many show- offs or wannabees this year.
Normally their a pretty decent lot & there's not too many camera-hoggers!

Yes from Sicily where I took a wrong turn and found myself in a red light district. It was a very enlightening day

I like the idea of the motarless conical roofs, somewhere in Puglia, I think they said. So they could easily be dismantled to avoid paying taxes!! 👍
It must be very touristy if everywhere was full.

I think they’re called trulli or something similar, once saw a holiday programme about them.

I’ve recorded RATW to watch at the weekend😃

I’ll be watching. There’s usually one couple I find annoying!

I’ll be recording it though

Watched it. I worked in Catania as a nanny/ housekeeper.

Love this programme. Lots of money spent on first hop - hopefully that's because it involved ferry crossings and overland journeys will be a lot cheaper, especially as they get further east.

I've got one or possibly two couples on my "potentially annoying" list - but they'll probably turn out to be my favourites afer a few weeks!

The "in-laws" have a funny relationship!

Very! I noticed that too.

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.

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.

He, not ‘her’

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

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

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

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.

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? 😂
