Race Across The World 2026

[LindorDoubleChoc]

Hooray!

This is back for another series, starting Thursday.

I just googled very quickly and they set off from Sicily and end the race in northern Mongolia - sounds interesting.

I don't know anything else about it at this point, but thought that we should have a thread ready and waiting.

Turned it over at 8 o clock on the dot and it had already started!

Seemed a shorter montage of video clips at the beginning today.

Me too

One minute it was Eastenders switched back to great British menu the next it had started

Why is David Tennant saying Turk-ee-ah?

I think someone explained that earlier in the thread

I so love Istanbul. We had great holidays there. The cats , the food the baths. But omg the noisy traffic

The dog is growling at the Turkish cats.

That’s its name.

The boys will gain so much experience and confidence from this experience.

I think the brother and sister will do too. Especially if Harrison stops worrying all the time and stops fretting about the money

Cripes the trains look amazing and so cheap

Aw the turtles 😢

And it’s John Hannah

😆

Cappadochia! How stunning

Hang on, they brushed over the boys getting a bus somehow….?

It’s definitely on my bucket list of places to go.

But we call it Turkey? In Italy would he say Italia?

Yes, Harrison is very focussed, dare I say controlling, with money. It’s probably due to his background. He’d make a good accountant! Hopefully, he’s learnt to give himself permission to relax more.

I forgot about this couple

Hah! I feel foolish now!

I’ll be surprised if it’s not the cousins eliminated

Someone explained earlier in the thread

They formally/officially changed the name
