Race around the world

Really got into this. On BBC after TG.

Five couples, £1300 each, fastest to Singapore wins £20k. No planes.

Thought it would be poor, but there are great characters, real tension and great to see the reality of travelling in these places which you don’t see when Lumley and co travel.

Worth a watch

I agree there is quite a bit of scripting, and would be cool if they bought a car, but I find it interesting nonetheless. It feels a lot more real than most of these shows as it does represent a bit more reality of travelling through these remote locations than most travel shows

They are quite open that each couple are given a book of jobs in each location.

Also agree the running in the last few yards is pointless.
