1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:08,560
Six months ago, five teams took part
in an unforgettable competition.
2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,440
CLOCK CHIMES
3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,080
Yes! Let's go. We got this.
4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,680
Rapido, rapido!
5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,320
Up there. You see that?
6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,680
Oh, this is sick.
7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,320
An epic race of over 12,000km
8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,400
from west to east.
9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,040
Look at this. Incredible.
10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,960
You don't see that on a new-build
in Manchester, do you? No.
11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,080
Posh, we made it.
12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,240
From the sun-drenched,
bustling streets of Sicily...
13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,920
That's a view and a half,
that, you know.
14
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,120
Screensaver vibes.
15
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,960
..to the vast, unforgiving
wilderness of Mongolia...
16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,640
I love how flat it is into,
like, absolute mountains.
17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,000
Absolutely epic.
18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,240
..they tested their own
stamina and endurance...
19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,040
Give it loads!
20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,880
Can I have your skates?
21
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,880
HE LAUGHS
22
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,040
Ah...
23
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,560
So we've lost our lead.
24
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,480
..across eight countries
rich in culture and experience.
25
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,800
Give me your vodka.
26
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,480
THEY CHEER
27
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,800
Today's celebration is called
a circumcision party.
28
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,400
Sick.
29
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,840
I don't think I've ever seen
anything so cool in my life.
30
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,800
But only one team could
claim victory...
31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,520
Three, two, one.
32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,840
THEY SCREAM
33
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,960
...and take home
the £20,000 prize.
34
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:29,000
Yo!
35
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,720
Now, for the first time since
the finish line, they reunite...
36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,240
Hello. How are you doing?
37
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,880
..to share their stories...
38
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,760
I don't think I was thinking
anything other than,
39
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,040
"I can't believe I'm here."
40
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,640
..to reveal how the race
changed their lives...
41
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,280
We wanted to make sure
this didn't break us,
42
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,360
and it's actually made us stronger.
43
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,640
High five.
44
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,760
I've wanted to do
that for a long time, kid.
45
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,200
Margo, she's very open, very free,
and I've taken that on board.
46
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,440
..and to marvel
at the process undertaken
47
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,360
to bring their extreme journeys
to the screen...
48
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,640
We just need to make sure we know
49
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:13,320
where all the teams
are at all times.
50
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,160
They're like the brain
of Race Across The World.
51
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,480
What a job to be able to do.
52
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,920
..as they all relive...
53
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,400
Let's go.
54
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,280
..their race...
Come on, Mark.
55
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,560
It's right there. Come on.
56
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,040
..across the world.
57
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,520
Having arrived home
in the UK almost six months ago,
58
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,160
all five teams
are coming back together.
59
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,120
Hi, folks. Hi, guys.
60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,960
Right, so I'm going to pop some
microphones on you.
61
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,640
Yep. This is very professional.
None of this on the road.
62
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:53,160
First to arrive,
63
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,400
siblings Katie and Harrison,
64
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,400
ready to see their
fellow competitors
65
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,880
for the first time
since leaving the race.
66
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,840
I can't wait to see the guys.
I'm so excited to see them.
67
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,240
How are you doing?
68
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,440
The second duo to join - father
and daughter Andrew and Molly.
69
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,200
Hi! Hello!
70
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,880
Can we go up to them?
I'm so excited.
71
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120
Hi!
72
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,680
Good to see you!
73
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,360
Andrew.
74
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,520
Good to see you.
You look beautiful. Look at you.
75
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,760
Oh, my God. This has been wild!
Absolutely wild.
76
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,520
Shall we go and do it again?
Yeah. Shall we go and do it again?
77
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Next to walk through the doors...
78
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,960
Hello! Hello!
79
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,360
..in-laws Mark and Margo.
80
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,080
Mark, how are we doing? Very good.
81
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,240
You look beautiful.
82
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,240
Yeah, have you been
up to any adventures?
83
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,320
He's been travelling.
84
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,760
He got right out, got his rucksack
on. Did you have a rucksack?
85
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,800
Rucksack in Thailand. On his own.
86
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,280
On my own time in Thailand.
Singapore, Sri Lanka.
87
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,520
So jealous.
88
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,640
And guess who I bumped
into in Sri Lanka? Who?
89
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,800
Ah!
90
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,320
You've been away too.
You've been away!
91
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,040
I did Sydney,
New Zealand and then Sri Lanka.
92
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Race really gave me
that sense of freedom to go,
93
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,480
"Actually, I can do
a bit more travelling."
94
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,560
We bumped into each other.
That is nice.
95
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,960
It was so good. I was like, "Mark!"
96
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,200
Hi. We're at a five-star hotel
and all we can find
97
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,320
to eat is...
98
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,840
..Mongolian vegetable noodles and...
99
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:30,960
Mongolian seafood rice.
Brilliant. But there we are.
100
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,640
We cannot escape Mongolia
wherever we go, or their food.
101
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,960
Bye! Bye!
102
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,720
Also back with the group,
cousins Puja and Roshni.
103
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,000
Roshni!
104
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,640
ALL GREET EACH OTHER
105
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,000
How are you?
Have you lost your voice?
106
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,400
WEAKLY: I've lost my voice.
Oh, perfect. Voice is gone.
107
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,720
How are you guys?
108
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,080
That is terrible timing.
109
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200
And the last pair to join the pack,
110
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,280
19-year-old best friends
Jo and Kush.
111
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,440
Are we the last?
112
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,000
Yeah, I think we're last.
113
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,040
ALL GREET EACH OTHER
114
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,240
Good to see yous. Great to see you.
115
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,120
Your boys. Your boys.
116
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,960
You got very fond of them,
didn't you, on the trip?
117
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,640
They're like our little brothers.
You're our little brothers.
118
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,040
So, girls, as the people who
left early, who do you think,
119
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,160
between the whole lot of us,
who do you think won?
120
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:34,720
Who's giving winner energy?
121
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,640
We always thought
that you two would win.
122
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,720
Mark and Margo, yeah.
123
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,800
You were always so charming
and, like, full of energy.
124
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,720
And, like, you just seemed
to know every flight.
125
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,240
With my dad, like, I could ask him
any question,
126
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,400
he would just know the answer.
127
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,680
And I feel like you're
exactly the same.
128
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,960
Oh, gosh.
129
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,560
Whoever won,
can you please step forward?
130
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,320
THEY SQUEAL
131
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,000
APPLAUSE
132
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,960
I'm so proud of you!
133
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,640
Oh, my God, I'm so proud.
134
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,640
Rosh, look. Looks like a cathedral.
135
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,240
These five pairs put
their everyday lives on pause
136
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,560
and came together
for an epic adventure.
137
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,640
But it was actually months
before they stood
138
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,440
on the starting line
that they began their journey.
139
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,880
They were selected from
thousands of application videos.
140
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,840
Hello, everybody.
It's Molly and... Daddy.
141
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:32,880
..Andrew!
142
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,240
Hello. I'm Harrison. And I'm Katie.
We are siblings.
143
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,720
I'm 22. She's 20.
144
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,400
Why do we want to do it is
because we want to see the world.
145
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,600
We want to experience things,
146
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,280
add some spice to life,
you know, keep it interesting. Yeah.
147
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:50,760
Experience different,
yeah, cultures, people.
148
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,840
Hi, I'm Puja. And I'm Roshni.
Please take us.
149
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:56,360
Yeah, we would love to go.
We really want to go.
150
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,640
Why do you think we'd be good, Mark?
151
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,080
Well, we're like chalk and cheese.
I'm very practical.
152
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Boring. Margo just has
fun, fun, fun!
153
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,760
And as casting progressed,
154
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,840
all shortlisted candidates
were brought to London
155
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,680
to test their navigation skills -
156
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,480
without phones or cash,
157
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,120
and armed only with cryptic clues.
158
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,120
Ask someone.
Yeah, literally you've read my mind.
159
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,560
Excuse me, miss. Excuse me.
160
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,080
We're in a race at the moment,
161
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,880
and we just need some help finding
out where our location is.
162
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,320
Molly's taking charge.
I'll follow her.
163
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:33,920
We're in a competition.
164
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,920
You wouldn't take us
to Golden Hinde?
165
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,200
Does anyone know
if this is southbound?
166
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,120
Is this southbound? Harrison,
we're good, it's southbound.
167
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,760
Just ask people. It's easier.
168
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:43,840
Doing a challenge.
169
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,960
And these ladies are
filming for this challenge.
170
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,160
To see if I can get anything
for my birthday. She's 59 today.
171
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,680
I've got my passport in my bag
if you want to see.
172
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,000
59. Yeah.
173
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Oh, this is sick.
174
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,120
No way. That's sick.
175
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,440
What?! Yes, mate. Nice.
176
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,520
Well, thank you. Amazing.
177
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,960
Four months after selection,
178
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,400
they arrived at the airport,
having packed for every eventuality,
179
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,960
with no idea where in the world
they were heading.
180
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,840
Ah! Ooh!
181
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,360
Their destination revealed
just hours before departure.
182
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,000
"You'll be flying to..."
183
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,480
"Palermo in Sicily."
184
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,520
Oh, my God!
Southern Italy.
185
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,720
You can have pizza tonight.
186
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,160
HE LAUGHS
187
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,160
Oh! That's brilliant.
That's brilliant. Sicily, mwah!
188
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,280
Mamma mia!
189
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,600
In the historic city of Palermo...
190
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,120
I'm actually really nervous.
I can't lie.
191
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,400
Same here.
192
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,960
..they all came face to face
for the very first time.
193
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,440
Here we go. Oh, God.
194
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,800
They're looking fit and young.
Good to meet... I'm Margo.
195
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,920
Margo. I'm Jo.
196
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,240
Oh, I can see 'em!
197
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,400
Hey. Hi. Hi, guys.
198
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,040
So I'm guessing everyone's
here to win.
199
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,240
I have a saying -
second's first loser.
200
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,880
Oh, OK.
201
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,920
Suddenly I'm just like,
"I need to win this."
202
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,840
That's, like, drawing
the enemy lines now.
203
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,320
Will we get this thing started?
204
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,400
Yeah. Yeah.
205
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,520
When we first met you guys
in Palermo, it was like, that...
206
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,680
That couple minutes of, "Hi, guys,"
and then it was off.
207
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:17,480
I don't think I was
thinking anything other than,
208
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,880
"I can't believe I'm here
209
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,400
"and can't believe
I'm about to do this."
210
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,760
And, "This backpack's heavy."
211
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,360
I hypnotised myself to believe
that backpack was really light,
212
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,480
didn't I? You did. But as soon as
I got home, "What the hell?"
213
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,680
After the first leg,
I thought Katie and Harrison
214
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:36,880
were just going to
blow us out the water.
215
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,960
You know, a day and a half
ahead on the first leg.
216
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,360
You know, it's unbelievable.
217
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,040
It was, it was very intimidating
to have you guys
218
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,000
so far ahead, because we didn't
know anything about yous.
219
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,040
You were a myth.
220
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:50,880
But then when we met you, Harrison,
you still impressed.
221
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,200
Your understanding
of budgeting and timings
222
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,720
and, like, this overview,
that was almost like a computer.
223
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,600
Felt like that. Couldn't turn
it off. That is him, yeah.
224
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,920
I've got a toiletry bag
the size of a house.
225
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,440
Yeah, well, I've got all
the useful stuff.
226
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,040
I've got alarm clocks, compass.
227
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,480
So you just bring,
you know, the stuff you need,
228
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,240
and I'll bring the stuff
for both of us.
229
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,760
Yeah. Oh, you're getting it now.
230
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,960
Katie and older brother Harrison
started the race
231
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,720
with very different attitudes
to money and planning.
232
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,080
You definitely took
the role with the budget.
233
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,200
You were in a deep, emotional
relationship with your calculator.
234
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,240
We have spent 8.5%,
this leg, of our total budget.
235
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,720
Which is very, very good.
236
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,720
It works -
being a tight bastard works.
237
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,320
Pocket meat and cheese.
238
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,000
Really dry.
239
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,040
Really dry is an understatement.
240
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,000
Feel like I've just stuck my face
in the Sahara Desert.
241
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,600
I can't swallow it!
242
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,480
I took it very personally
243
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,840
as my responsibility to get us
to that finish line.
244
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,440
And it kind of soothed me
to constantly be thinking about it.
245
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,600
Oh, look at this!
246
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,280
This is not good for the budget.
247
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,720
I've got a shot glass collection
at home.
248
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,360
Who buys all this shit?
249
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,360
Me!
250
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,760
That really took over for me.
251
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,200
Like, I just couldn't help
but be absorbed by the race
252
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,440
and the race environment,
and not the experiences.
253
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,680
Although the race environment
is about winning,
254
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:25,680
it's also about the unique
way of travelling
255
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:27,920
that you're doing by racing. Yeah.
256
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,720
I genuinely loved
every second of it.
257
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,440
You know, maybe I didn't have
that drive,
258
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,280
because I was just
enjoying it so much.
259
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,200
Like, I just honestly
had the best time ever.
260
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,080
I think everyone would agree
you were pure sunshine
261
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,200
the whole way through.
262
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,560
I think one day you were, like,
sitting with a glass of prosecco
263
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:44,560
at checkpoint being like,
"I could be at work on a Monday."
264
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,640
LAUGHTER
265
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,640
I'm not!
266
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,760
As they ventured further east,
267
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,040
Katie's desire to pause
and take it all in...
268
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,840
Feels very much once in a lifetime.
269
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,680
..started to shift Harrison's
perspective on the race.
270
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:02,840
I'm on a horse in Kyrgyzstan.
271
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,160
It's incredible.
272
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,720
That is just ridiculous.
273
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,360
This is stunning.
274
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,800
HE SINGS
275
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,200
Birmingham.
276
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,920
HARRISON LAUGHS
277
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,480
A picture of Tesco Express.
Tesco. Tesco. Yeah, Tesco.
278
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,920
He was so chuffed with this picture
of Tesco Express. I know.
279
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,000
Such a lovely moment, but funny.
280
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,520
Why am I sat
in a treehouse in Turkey
281
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,200
looking at a picture
of Tesco Express?
282
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,280
It was mental.
283
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,160
That was kind of when I
sort of let go a little bit
284
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,240
and stopped and started
to appreciate
285
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,200
and spend time with people,
286
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,520
and that's really where I came away
with sort of the mantra that,
287
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,280
"OK, this is actually
what the race is about."
288
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,480
Oh, no, no, no. Are you sure?
289
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,880
Oh. What is he giving you?
290
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,560
It's a medal. Oh! Half marathon.
291
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,520
We are friends.
292
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,680
But Harrison actually sent
something, didn't you?
293
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:03,040
Yeah, I have...
294
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,520
We got in contact with the guy
that sent me a medal
295
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,400
and I've sent him my one back
296
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,360
in a little sort of UK hamper box.
297
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,680
Oh, that's so nice. Yeah.
298
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:13,640
You've come back
and you've gone, like...
299
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,320
You've got that, like, "I need to
travel." And I do think you have...
300
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,640
It has, like, changed you.
301
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,600
I have to say that I probably
do see the value in it,
302
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,680
the monetary value in it now.
303
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:25,200
I've not spent my own
money yet on it,
304
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,560
but it might happen.
305
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:28,720
I'm guessing now you've
learnt that, firstly,
306
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:29,880
it's not like a holiday.
307
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,680
Well, I call it a holiday sometimes.
308
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:33,920
Maybe if you're doing
it Margo's way. But...
309
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,360
Their growth as a team came from
learning to open up to one another,
310
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,240
deepening a bond in ways
Katie had always wanted.
311
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,800
I don't know, I feel, I just felt
like, "Why is this affecting me
312
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,320
"and it's not affecting him?
313
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,600
"Like, how does he seem
so OK about it all?"
314
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,520
I definitely think
the race has helped me
315
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,800
like, verbalise my feelings,
316
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,840
cos before, I might have
felt like I wanted
317
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,240
to say something to you -
318
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,080
you know, something's bothering me,
if I was upset or something -
319
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,720
but I physically could
not get the words out.
320
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,480
Whereas now I think, because,
321
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,720
yeah, the race is just
a really intense environment,
322
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,320
and you've got to be supportive
for each other...
323
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,040
I just wanted to say, like,
I suppose thank you
324
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,560
for being there and being...
325
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,440
Well, that's really
nice to hear, actually.
326
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,800
I now just feel a lot
more supported.
327
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,880
Yeah. Like, the race gave me
a better understanding of you
328
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,960
and you a better
understanding of me.
329
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,560
Yeah, but you do grow
and you have to,
330
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:36,600
and it's a life experience.
331
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,720
And you have to accept it
as a life experience,
332
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,680
and realise,
and take something from it.
333
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,760
And you did. Yeah. Yeah.
334
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,560
OK. Got it? It's a good one
for your Hinge profile, Harrison.
335
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,160
It makes you look really cool.
336
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,600
I've got a man bag on, though.
337
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,040
It feels like I'm going
to plunge a toilet.
338
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,880
If it looks that bad,
could you please try and help me?
339
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,560
Together. Come on.
340
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,600
Oh, my God.
341
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,040
Well done on the finish line.
342
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,440
We wouldn't have been able to have
as good of a time with anyone else.
343
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,360
It was sort of the perfect combo.
344
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,760
And we've got that for life. Yeah.
345
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,480
This is breathtaking.
346
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,000
Incredible.
347
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,480
Oh, wow, look at that one,
Margo. Look.
348
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,720
The teams were on the road
for 51 days...
349
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Absolutely incredible.
It's hard to find words, isn't it?
350
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,880
It is. Absolutely, yeah.
351
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,120
..with cameras recording
their every move.
352
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,200
With them, a five-person team
353
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,200
responsible for capturing
the general views,
354
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,880
known as the GV crew,
who filmed the scale,
355
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,880
beauty and rich variety
of the journey.
356
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,680
If I want to give up teaching,
357
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,080
there's one job I would
want to have is the crew
358
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,640
that do all those
picturesque shots. Yeah. Yeah.
359
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,480
What a job to be able to do.
360
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,200
We're shooting Athens out today.
361
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,800
We've been up here
since half six this morning.
362
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,000
Big bank of cloud came in
and kind of killed us a little bit.
363
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,360
Well, sometimes it helps.
364
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,760
It came out and like created
all these shadows across the city.
365
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,880
But thankfully the weather
has picked up. Sun is shining.
366
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,600
The team that take
these incredible shots
367
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,360
really get to be creative
and think about how to capture
368
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,920
this beautiful area
in the best way possible,
369
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,960
which is what you see on
the screens. They have the best job!
370
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,280
So they essentially inspire
the whole of the UK,
371
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,960
and whoever watches
Race Across The World,
372
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,520
to want to go to these places,
373
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,840
by the way they capture it
on camera.
374
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,800
Wow, look at this!
375
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,720
We're going to shoot this
with time lapse over the mountains.
376
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,920
It is beautiful here.
The landscape is incredible.
377
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,240
And the tech - they've
got so much stuff, right?
378
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,640
They've got long-distance cameras,
wide-shot lenses.
379
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,120
They've got close ups.
They've got everything.
380
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,840
Yeah, they smashed it.
381
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,440
Alongside the GV crew,
there are three more vital teams
382
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,320
dovetailing seamlessly
to bring the race to life.
383
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,640
Comms check. Yeah, I heard that.
384
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,240
In London,
a 20-strong team of producers,
385
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,680
researchers and
production management,
386
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,280
following evolving stories
and potential routes.
387
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,280
You've got someone who
is relaying back every decision,
388
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,000
everything we say,
389
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,440
to the head office in London,
who are obviously on UK time.
390
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,000
It feels like the brain of...
Control centre.
391
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,760
..race control centre.
There you go.
392
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,400
I'm thinking about it medically,
393
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,360
but they're like the brain
of Race Across The World.
394
00:17:38,360 --> 00:17:41,480
And then you have like the limbs
in... Oh, God!
395
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,120
On location,
a small embedded filming crew,
396
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:48,800
living and breathing every step
of the race with each pair.
397
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,760
How are you feeling right now?
398
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,600
I think that's your duvet, Aaron.
This is the duvet?
399
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,560
That's the smaller one.
The bigger one should be the sheet.
400
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,000
Oh! Are you going to put
your lavender spray on it?
401
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,960
And finally, the checkpoint crew,
402
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,560
who are one step ahead of the
racers, tracking their every move,
403
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,040
and planning for all eventualities.
404
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,040
We've got Jo and Kush. I've got
10am. Do you think that's right?
405
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,840
Yeah, I think they're about
60 minutes away.
406
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,960
There's a whole team that
stays in the checkpoint,
407
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,840
and they've got their own job to do.
408
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,360
If they go the most efficient way,
409
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:23,800
they'll get a car
all the way up to there.
410
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,360
But there are various
other points that they could
411
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:28,680
get dropped on the hill.
412
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,560
They are responsible
for setting up and testing
413
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,320
the final run to each
new checkpoint hotel...
414
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,520
Oh, my God! Yay! Hotel Emelisse.
415
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,120
Emelisse! Here we go.
Oh, there we go!
416
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,720
..and there to support each team
on their arrival.
417
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,880
Say hi, Hannah. Give me the camera.
418
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,720
What's your role, Hannah?
419
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,240
My role is to look after cast
when they're at checkpoint,
420
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,280
make sure they're fed, watered,
happy, healthy. And that's it!
421
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,400
Once the planning is done,
it's over to the race.
422
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,080
Unpredictable. Unscripted.
423
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,000
And whatever happens,
whenever teams arrive,
424
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,680
the crew has to be ready.
425
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,040
We are here at the finale location,
426
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,040
and we are just waiting
for one of the teams to come in.
427
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600
Where the spit is,
there's a direct line of sight,
428
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,600
so we don't want the cast to see us,
429
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,480
so we're having to lie down
and hide, poised for the signal.
430
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,520
OK, Ross. Go. Go, go, go.
Everyone.
431
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,600
That is a spit, isn't it? Yeah.
432
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,280
When you're coming in to checkpoint,
it gets really exciting, doesn't it?
433
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Ah, here we go!
434
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,960
The clues! OK. Brrrp!
435
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,040
DEVICE BEEPS
436
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,120
'Find the amphitheatre...'
'..and await further instructions.'
437
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:55,880
We have to find the minaret.
438
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,080
I think it's at the other side
of the bridge. Yeah.
439
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,920
OK. Ready? Power everything up.
440
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,320
Is this right? Yeah. Oh!
441
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,240
They're two blocks away. Yeah.
442
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,600
Qarvasla Hotel. Margo, it's here.
Yes!
443
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,960
Here it is, Jo.
444
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,760
Please sign in here.
445
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,560
What?!
446
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,280
As the checkpoint is approached,
447
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,960
the reality of each precious
minute falls into focus...
448
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,320
Lads, we're going to beat you!
No way!
449
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,600
Come on, Mark!
450
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,960
..with every team throwing
their all into the chance
451
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,840
to climb the leaderboard.
452
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,760
Hey, Kush, speed up, lad!
453
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,640
You OK, Pugi? I'm good, Poshy.
454
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,400
Faster, faster!
We've got a checkpoint to get to!
455
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,520
Get me out of this taxi
and ready to run!
456
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,080
Traffic jam. Uh!
457
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,480
It just felt like
tables turned so quickly.
458
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,200
We can't afford to make
any mistakes,
459
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,960
and we've already made one.
460
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,000
The crew can give you
absolutely no help,
461
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,080
and it can be very
easy to go, like,
462
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,960
"Guys, you're giving me
nothing here."
463
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,320
But they can't,
because then it's not fair.
464
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,600
Is this actually a joke?
465
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,800
Lads, what's going on?
Cos I don't know!
466
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,040
They had to walk through
every stupid decision we made,
467
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,120
knowing we were going
in the wrong direction.
468
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:40,120
Well, actually, we're kind
of going back on ourselves.
469
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:42,680
Yeah. Oh, gosh.
470
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,360
But having the lead
is one bus journey away.
471
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:48,040
Big money moves? Big money moves,
but little money moves!
472
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,280
It's right there. Yes, Poshy!
473
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,640
Come on!
474
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,960
Hope and pray now.
475
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,400
We were looking out for the boys,
because we noticed you
476
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,120
becoming more savvy
and more competitive.
477
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:02,760
Because you said from the first,
478
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,120
"We're in it. We're really,
seriously in it to win it."
479
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,600
But there was more and more, like,
"We're not going to talk to you.
480
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,920
"You could be a threat."
And it was. These guys...
481
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,480
See, that's cos yous are clever,
that's the thing.
482
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,680
Both of yous are very, very like...
But quite quickly you were like,
483
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,000
"zip"!
484
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,320
Here are the boys. How are we?
Do you know where you're going now?
485
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,200
Yeah. What about you guys,
you got a plan?
486
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,720
Yeah. We have a plan, yeah.
487
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,080
Are we allowed to know
where you're heading to?
488
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,800
See you, boys!
489
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,840
We'll see you guys soon. Take care.
490
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,360
Oh, no! Best friends last night,
sworn enemies today!
491
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:36,600
Yeah! Whoa! Oooh!
492
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,840
We were there to win, realistically.
We are... We were there...
493
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,400
I've been saying
this from the start.
494
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,880
We both have been saying
this from the start -
495
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,360
we were there to win.
Well, I think...
496
00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:46,200
We're there to win. You just want
to do better than everyone else.
497
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,200
We're ten short. Is there anywhere
we could change money?
498
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,400
There was a situation where Molly
and Andrew were ten euro short.
499
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,720
You wouldn't give us
a tenner for a tenner, no?
500
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,800
Aw, that's a shame.
Thought not!
501
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,200
It's a shame.
502
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,200
I was like, nah, realistically,
we're here to win.
503
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,200
No. Oh, lad. What are you chatting?
504
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,360
You were very, very down
to just lend them the money.
505
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:16,960
I'm glad we didn't give any money!
506
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,160
I'm glad. Set a precedent! 100%.
507
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,200
I would very much say
that your experience was to win,
508
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,920
and you really enjoyed it.
509
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,480
And the whole way through you
were very competitive, obviously.
510
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,040
But we were fourth,
and we were trying our hardest,
511
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,400
and we were still
coming in and, um...
512
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,360
Like, we were constantly
at the back of the pack,
513
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:36,160
back of the pack,
and it was about staying in it.
514
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,440
People talk about strategies.
If we had any strategy
515
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,640
coming into this,
was to stay in the game
516
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,120
as long as possible and then
try and win it at the end.
517
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:44,640
And that's what we did. Yeah.
518
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,560
Were you two right behind
each other at the final leg?
519
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,160
We were neck and neck.
Not speaking to you again!
520
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,640
That's it! No, finished!
It's all right. That's OK.
521
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,800
The gloves are off now!
522
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,960
But there's a good amount of luck.
523
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,280
And I think, like, the favourite
moments for me -
524
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,640
and it sounds so sad - but it was
when, like, connecting transport
525
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,760
just worked out!
526
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,760
LAUGHTER
527
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,760
Honest to God! Like, I...
528
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,760
I just couldn't relax until I
knew what transport was going on.
529
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,720
Elimination leg, Mr Meanie
made us wait for a bus.
530
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,360
I decided, on budget terms,
that we should wait
531
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:17,120
and get the bus rather
than pay the taxi.
532
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:19,080
And we waited three...
Three and a half hours.
533
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,160
..three and a half hours for a bus.
534
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,120
You should have waited 12!
We would have caught you up!
535
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,840
Smile!
536
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,840
CAMERA CLICKS
537
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,480
Oh!
538
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:31,840
Did your shoes get wet?
539
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,800
Wet shoes. I love my feet right now.
540
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:34,840
They're very happy.
541
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,480
The cousins embarked on the race
to step away from the busy careers
542
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,160
they'd worked hard to build
543
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,600
and embrace a more
unpredictable way of life.
544
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,280
Peperoncino?
545
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,000
Calabrese?
546
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,440
This is different.
547
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,360
Rosh is absolutely smashing it.
She's maintained her energy levels.
548
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:56,520
Look at her. She looks so cute!
549
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,960
Cuanto?
550
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,520
What are you doing? Oh, no!
551
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,280
Yes, you can! Why? Yes, you can!
552
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,920
So, growing up, you know,
we lived, like, two streets away.
553
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,400
We were very close.
But life happens.
554
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,840
I think the goal
of just going onto this
555
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,280
is we'd both been in our careers
for, like, ten years.
556
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,240
So life gets very intense,
557
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,560
and we wanted
to do something about that.
558
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,600
This guy, he is a Guard of the Gods.
559
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:30,760
OK. He's waving.
560
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,440
I've always wanted to take time off,
561
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,240
but there's always been
a reason not to.
562
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,880
So I guess Race kind
of forced us to take the time off.
563
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,280
And it kind of...it showed
that it's not the end of the world.
564
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,200
Where are you going?
565
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,320
Ah! Oh, sorry.
566
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,440
What time is the bus?
567
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,120
Yes! Yes!
568
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:53,920
I'm feeling pumped.
We're flying high.
569
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,760
I think we've handled ourselves
really well on this leg.
570
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,880
I'm excited, Posh.
571
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,440
We're second. We're second!
572
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,720
It's been a wake-up call.
573
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,760
With family, you always think people
are going to be around,
574
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,320
but actually, you need to
put in that effort to make sure
575
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,880
you keep that relationship.
576
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,320
And, you know, we wanted
to make sure this didn't break us,
577
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,320
and it's actually made us stronger.
578
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:19,840
Yeah.
579
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,720
But their momentum
faltered in Turkiye...
580
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,800
We asked if our bus is tonight,
but unfortunately
581
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,400
there wasn't anything available.
582
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,880
It gives the other teams
time to catch up.
583
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,880
..and arriving in last
at the third checkpoint
584
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,240
led to their surprise elimination.
585
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,200
Please sign in overleaf.
586
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,360
Oh! Oh, my God. We're last.
587
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,440
I think, when we saw the book,
we didn't expect
588
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,120
that everybody would have done
so well on that leg.
589
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:55,520
But you guys aced it.
590
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,000
But saying that, it was a great leg.
591
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,200
Like, we had an incredible time.
592
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,960
And honestly,
Mongolia was for you guys.
593
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,800
Like, I'm so happy that you guys
had that adventure.
594
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,160
Thank you. Also,
we got to go on our own adventure.
595
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,240
Yeah. We went on a trip
to Vietnam after all this ended.
596
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,840
It was just a great place.
597
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,520
Wave!
598
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,040
We got to have really good food.
599
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,040
Get massages. Yeah.
We just had our own experience.
600
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,960
We plan to go away together again
601
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,200
with our husbands,
with our families.
602
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,480
So, if this had not happened,
603
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:34,960
I don't think
we would be doing that.
604
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,440
I don't think we would
be as proactive. Yeah.
605
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,880
You think about, like, what Race
and travel has given each one of us.
606
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,640
It has brought yous together.
607
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,200
And like my wife has said to me,
"Who were you travelling with?"
608
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,960
All that kind of thing.
And I said, like,
609
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,200
"Beautiful girl
who's an anaesthetist in..."
610
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,040
And I'd go, "I just want
Molly to turn out like you."
611
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,920
And I mean that. Just amazing.
And lifelong friends, hopefully.
612
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,520
Absolutely.
613
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,720
We missed you, though, honestly.
614
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,920
We wanted to sign your names
in the book as well. Oh!
615
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,000
That is amazing!
616
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,440
For all the teams,
617
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,200
this was a journey defined
by endurance and extremes.
618
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,520
Look, look, look!
Oh, that is really nice.
619
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,160
You can see the whole coast.
620
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,480
From the sunbaked
coastlines of Europe,
621
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,680
to the untamed expanse
of Central Asia...
622
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,360
Oh, my God!
623
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,520
Look at this.
It is like the Wild West, Mark!
624
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,960
Look at it! It is, isn't it? Yeah.
625
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,240
..into the sub-zero temperatures
of Mongolia.
626
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,960
Ooh! Feel the cold!
627
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:47,040
Retracing a path steeped in history
along the old Silk Road,
628
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:52,600
they encountered a huge variety
of people and local customs.
629
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,480
My father. Oh! Hello, hello.
Nice to meet you.
630
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,800
Hello, hello, hello. Hello.
Nice to meet you.
631
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,680
It's just such a, like, extreme,
isn't it?
632
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,280
Like, you just started off in
central mainland Europe
633
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,960
where you had all the comforts,
really, of home,
634
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,880
and then going to just...
Literally the middle of nowhere.
635
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,040
It's mad. Once you left Europe...
636
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:27,880
Yes. ..and went to Kazakhstan,
it was an alien environment.
637
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,760
It was rocky, it was dry,
it was arid.
638
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,520
And from that point, it was
a completely different journey.
639
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,240
But even from the trains, did you...
You must have got to see,
640
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,720
like, scenery. Nothing? Nothing.
There's absolutely nothing!
641
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,800
What?! It's like being on the moon.
642
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,720
I can't describe it.
There is nothing there.
643
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,760
You really, throughout
the whole experience,
644
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,240
went from one to the other.
645
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,400
Done?
646
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,120
It went from language
to no language.
647
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,000
Do you have avto? Um, car?
Nzzzrrr?
648
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,640
Machine? Avto?
649
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,080
Lots of transport to no transport.
Yeah.
650
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,960
The bus? It's all closed?
Yeah, yeah.
651
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,000
Closed.
652
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,520
I found the bus station.
It's just a shed.
653
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,280
Holy Moley! Traffic jam.
654
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,480
Look at them.
There's millions of them.
655
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,920
Yeah, I'd say this year Race
is very much extreme. Yeah.
656
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,560
That's the word to sum it up.
657
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,000
I think it's just so nice
that you just...
658
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,920
You're worried that, oh,
they don't speak the same language,
659
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,560
but you find a way to communicate.
660
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,520
Like, whether it's you
dancing with everyone or,
661
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,680
you know, our man with the Tesco.
Like, you... Like...
662
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,120
Yeah, you find your common ground.
663
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,640
You'll always find
a way to communicate.
664
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,360
That was, like, the most
beautiful thing. Yeah, yeah.
665
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,280
When we did all these home stays,
like to, to live and sleep
666
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,240
under the same roof, share the food.
667
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,920
Like, this is such a privilege.
It's even more of a privilege,
668
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,520
in my eyes, than being
able to afford, like,
669
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,320
the five-star hotels.
No, they treated us like family.
670
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,000
Oh, my God. You've done
that so well. Thank you.
671
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,240
Places that we went were
very different to the Western world.
672
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,120
It was a real... It was a culture
shock, in the coolest way.
673
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,560
This is a really big deal.
674
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,400
Oh, my God, there's an eagle!
675
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,280
Hello. Nice to meet you.
My name is Nazgul. Nazgul? Kush.
676
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,800
It's nice to meet you.
Your eyes are so beautiful. Oh!
677
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,160
Thank you.
678
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,920
I love the outfits.
679
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,840
This is what I think we were both
searching for in this journey
680
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,760
as a whole, is the experiences
that aren't readily accessible.
681
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,400
It's very bitter.
I quite like it! Delicious.
682
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,400
Look at him, "Delicious." Good.
It's very good. Yeah!
683
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,240
But when we got to Mongolia,
it really got hard for us.
684
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,880
We really struggled.
685
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,640
It felt like your choices
were kind of taken away from you,
686
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,280
because at the start it was kind of,
687
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,800
"Do you go by boat? Do you go
by train? Do you go by car?
688
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,680
"Do you go by taxi?"
It then just became, "Get there."
689
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,600
You couldn't be competitive
with each other.
690
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,840
You were just being
competitive against Mongolia.
691
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,600
The best way to put it is
that you were fighting the elements.
692
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,520
I think the temperature swing
the whole way, we figured out,
693
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,400
was like a 54 degree temperature
swing from hottest to coldest.
694
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,760
And it's just...
695
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,720
I was looking forward to the cold,
but maybe not that cold!
696
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,720
Maybe I wished too hard for that!
697
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,080
Like, your clothes had to change.
698
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,160
Your clothes for Italy, Greece,
699
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,160
and wild temperatures.
700
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,240
And then all of a sudden
those clothes just kind of...
701
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,760
You should have just
thrown them out!
702
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,280
We could have! Just thrown them out,
had less weight to carry!
703
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,240
No, just layering up, layering up!
704
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,920
Mongolia, just wore the same outfit
every single day. Yes, yeah.
705
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,280
And all your clothes.
Yeah. Honestly, did any of you...
706
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,400
Never changed. ..ever change
your clothes in Mongolia?
707
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:45,840
Because I didn't. No.
708
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,320
But as somebody who's only kind
of really gone on family holidays,
709
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,280
I really, really struggled
with the...
710
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,400
Did I have the ability
to put a backpack on me
711
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,240
and travel in that way?
712
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,000
Always wanted to do it as a child,
713
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,080
always wanted to do it as
a young person, and never did it.
714
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,680
Because there was pure want
to do it,
715
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,080
But there was a fear
kind of stopped you doing it before.
716
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,520
Yeah. It was a physical test
as well as a mental test.
717
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,120
One of the reasons I did
lack self-confidence in my ability
718
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,440
to do it was...was the heart attack.
Mm-hm.
719
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,520
And the heart attack put me back
kind of mentally, quite a bit.
720
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:28,600
Starting off in Sicily. Yeah.
My God, it'll be amazing.
721
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,920
For Andrew, the race
became a way to see the world...
722
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,560
Look at that, Molly.
Absolutely stunning.
723
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,440
..and prove his heart attack three
years ago wouldn't hold him back.
724
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,080
I would always say
to children in class,
725
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,720
"The world's your oyster.
Go and enjoy it."
726
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,200
But I never lived it.
727
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,480
And I was always kind of
a bit of a fraud that way.
728
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,360
Whoo!
729
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:53,560
Jeez!
730
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,920
You're sweating, boy!
731
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:04,200
The relief of getting to that first
checkpoint and signing that book...
732
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,400
Yeah. ..gave me the shot
in the arm.
733
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,200
I looked at you and said,
"We can do this."
734
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,400
The stamina is there.
We can enjoy it as well.
735
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,800
And we can enjoy it.
736
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,080
It's my first train in Italy, Molly!
You know my love of trains.
737
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,720
Look at the striations of the rock.
738
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:19,200
The way they're going
down the lines.
739
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,960
Oh, my God. Look!
740
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,280
I've never seen these before, ever.
741
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,400
Different way of doing it.
742
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,160
Totally different way
of doing beekeeping.
743
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:27,560
And there's your honey.
744
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,040
Seeing the mountains, seeing the
landscape, seeing where people live,
745
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,800
that's what I do.
That's what I love.
746
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,400
Really looking forward
to getting out in the kayak.
747
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,160
I have my own kayak at home,
748
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,560
but I've never actually used it
because of my, uh... Dicky ticker.
749
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:43,800
My dicky ticker.
750
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,000
So, uh, haven't been able to do it,
so... Yeah, it'll be lovely.
751
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,920
Whooo!
752
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,920
Out in the open water!
Look at those mountains.
753
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,000
I wanted to do that
for a long time, kid.
754
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000
To prove to me that I could, uh...
755
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,120
..it wasn't going to get me.
756
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,720
Sorry, pet.
757
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,560
It was so nice to kind of
have the kayaking and, like,
758
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,640
just that whole thing, to us,
was just really special.
759
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,760
Like, you kind of have
to cherish those moments,
760
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,720
and it's very important
to cherish those moments.
761
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:35,040
Just enjoy it. And that's...
762
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,880
I think I tried to say
that to everybody.
763
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,200
Absolutely enjoy it. Have you
actually been kayaking since?
764
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,680
I've actually booked a trip.
765
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,840
We're going to Norway,
with my wife.
766
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,120
I think that whole rocky coast
all the way up there
767
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,680
would be unbelievable.
768
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,480
Yeah. And we've booked kayaking
in the fjords.
769
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,680
Oh, wow. That'll be beautiful.
770
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,640
I don't want to be stuck
in a train station.
771
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,240
For Molly, the race was an
opportunity to find her own
772
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:08,440
path in life and prove
her independence.
773
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,600
Is there a bus to Kiva?
Bus, no. Taxi, taxi.
774
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,000
Taxi! Taxi!
775
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,960
I don't know what to do.
I don't know.
776
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,920
Before the race, I would
have found it very difficult,
777
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,160
those big decisions.
I'd have overthought it.
778
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,120
I would have... I would have got
annoyed with myself.
779
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,080
Especially if it went wrong.
780
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,960
I don't want 100. I want 70. 70.
781
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,240
70. 70. Daddy!
782
00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:32,840
He'll do it for 70.
783
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,280
Well done. Yeah. Good call, yeah?
784
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,560
I do think now I am
a wee bit more self-confident.
785
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,040
That contentment
has come with my decisions.
786
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,280
People need their doctor
to be confident,
787
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,800
because that's who you're
looking to for answers.
788
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,160
So it's really nice
to sleep at night
789
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,280
and not have thoughts and thoughts
and thoughts and thoughts!
790
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,680
There was a definite change
in you, Molly, towards the end.
791
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,640
Do you think? Yeah. There was
a strong sense of more confidence.
792
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,240
Yeah. And more decisiveness.
793
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,800
Slainte. Slainte.
794
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,880
# She is the belle
of Belfast city
795
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,920
# She is a-courting,
one, two, three
796
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,840
# Please will you tell me,
who is she? #
797
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,600
I think, pre-race,
we kind of proved to each other,
798
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,760
and, like, in life,
we've proved to each other
799
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,760
we're good as father and daughter.
800
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,800
And I think Race, the one thing
that allowed us to prove
801
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,440
to each other is we're a good team.
802
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,880
Yeah. And that is we can
make decisions,
803
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,480
we can have equal opinion,
and hold each other and be like,
804
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,160
"Yeah, no, that's good, that's bad."
And communicate.
805
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,600
We've done it. We did it.
We did it. Ah, kid.
806
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,480
We're second! We're second!
807
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,560
Still be her daddy
for the rest of my life. Yeah.
808
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,840
But also it'll be...it'll be more
of a friendship, and a pal.
809
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,520
Yeah, absolutely.
810
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,800
There's features of beauty,
isn't there?
811
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,560
Yeah. It's good stonework. Mega.
812
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,240
Also looking to strengthen
their bond and find a new dynamic,
813
00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:11,720
in-laws Mark and Margo.
814
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:14,680
Oh, wow! I'd love to have a go on
one of these, wouldn't you?
815
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,120
I know you would. Come on,
you get one, I get one!
816
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,000
Going with Mark, though,
I really wanted this,
817
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,800
but there was a little bit...
818
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,400
We weren't completely comfortable,
were we?
819
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,320
Not at all. No.
820
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,520
Uh, I found her annoying!
821
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,320
Margo thought I was
a boring old fogey, basically.
822
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,560
Judgy and boring.
Judgy and boring.
823
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,320
Yes. Yeah. You may all know,
824
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,120
Julia's last dying wish
was that we became friends.
825
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,080
That we continued and built
on our friendship,
826
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,560
and that's what we did.
827
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,000
I love Naples. Absolutely brilliant.
828
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,480
I hate it, I loathe Naples.
829
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,320
I just didn't enjoy it at all.
830
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,440
I did think, "How is it going
to go with Mark?"
831
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,200
"How are we going to be
on the race?"
832
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,320
And I have to say, some people were
a little bit doubtful
833
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,240
about the two of us
doing it together.
834
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:05,720
They were a little bit,
"Why are you going with Mark?"
835
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,040
What in God's name?
836
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,240
This is my cocoon.
837
00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:12,360
What? What's it for?
What did you...? What's it...?
838
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,600
Modesty. So...
Just think you look ridiculous!
839
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,040
But as the race progressed,
we didn't have a care in the world.
840
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,960
Did we? No. Not a care in the world.
Yeah.
841
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,960
Try and hit it flat on,
like that. Oh, OK. OK.
842
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:30,880
Oh, yes!
843
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,360
Now we're talking!
844
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,080
Now we are talking!
845
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:43,440
We're just two people
enjoying the moment. Yeah.
846
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,080
And we were just having a bit
of a laugh, weren't we, really?
847
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,920
We were. Yes. Hey!
848
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,720
Hey!
849
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:52,840
And it just, organically, just grew.
850
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,720
The last two legs of it
were so hard in Mongolia.
851
00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:59,120
That's when the real...
852
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,360
It was the real cement between us,
because that's when it was...
853
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,840
..we were on our knees
and we were just...
854
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,640
Yes, we were, yeah.
And we needed each other.
855
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,520
And we both needed
to really pull together, didn't we?
856
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,040
And support each other? Yeah.
857
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:12,760
No.
858
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,200
Not the busiest of highways,
this, is it? No.
859
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,520
We seemed to have missed
the rush hour.
860
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,560
We had to suffer.
I think we had to suffer,
861
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,400
and push, and strive,
862
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,560
for it really to be
the adventure that it was,
863
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,680
and for it to truly make us unite
864
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,600
and have each other's back.
865
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,560
We're doing blue sky thinking today.
That's all we can do.
866
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,840
You know,
just determination to finish,
867
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,840
a side of Margo
I had never seen before,
868
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,320
it's what kept me going.
Just about.
869
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,320
Do you go to Kharkhorin?
Yes? Oh, good.
870
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,000
So kind. Thank you. Off we go.
We're doing it our way.
871
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,480
And we never, ever give up.
As a team, we've always carried on.
872
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,840
We've forged on, haven't we?
We've always forged on.
873
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:03,640
And I'm so proud of her doing that.
You know, I would have given up.
874
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,320
I would have given up,
without Margo being there.
875
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,560
I wouldn't give up on you, though,
Mark. I know you wouldn't!
876
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,080
And that was so...
And that's a sign of friendship.
877
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,240
Here's to you, Julia,
wherever you are.
878
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:19,000
You inspired us.
You inspired us. Thank you, Julia!
879
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,760
Yeah. Thank you, Julia!
She's laughing!
880
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:27,320
For Margo, travelling
was also an opportunity
881
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,400
to step away
from her day-to-day routine.
882
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,560
Part of coming on the race
was like running away
883
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,000
from real life,
and just enjoying myself,
884
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,040
and just be me for a change,
and just go, let rip.
885
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,680
Taking respite
from her responsibilities,
886
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,360
like caring for her elderly mum.
887
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,320
Since I've got back from the race,
I've been more centred.
888
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,600
I did feel like Dorothy
coming back in The Wizard Of Oz,
889
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,880
you know, coming home.
And there is no place like home.
890
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:58,440
I was kind of, in a way, running
away from my situation in life.
891
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,800
But now actually the determination
I was applying to those challenges,
892
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,800
I've applied them to my life.
893
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,000
There's BBC. BBC, yes.
894
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,720
Race Across The World.
895
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:12,640
To make things nicer,
896
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,120
to make things easier,
897
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,560
and so I'm...I'm living
that best life. But in Liverpool.
898
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:18,680
Oh, my goodness!
899
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,080
For Mark, the race
also became something more...
900
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,480
Oh, my gosh!
901
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,720
..shifting his perspective
on life itself.
902
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:30,680
It's unbelievable, this!
903
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,600
Wildness!
It's strange to say,
904
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,160
you know, at 67,
I was always embarrassed
905
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,960
about doing things,
of what people might say,
906
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,480
what people might think.
907
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,640
I just couldn't care less now.
In a way, it's because Margo...
908
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,880
She's very open and very free
and doesn't worry
909
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,640
what people think about her.
And I've taken that on board.
910
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,360
You were the first on the dance
floor in Sri Lanka as well.
911
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,600
He led... He led the party!
912
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,240
Oh, I was, yes! Yeah.
The baila. Yeah.
913
00:42:57,240 --> 00:42:58,920
You know, for us, we were winners.
914
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,120
Because we'd done what we set out
to do, and we'd won for Julia.
915
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,000
That was the thing. Yes. Yes.
916
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,840
We are good, good friends.
We're mates now. We are.
917
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,840
Yeah. Mates. Do you think
you'd go on holiday again?
918
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,400
Well! We've been talking about it,
yes! We have been talking about it.
919
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,960
Yes. And we'd like adventure.
920
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,520
We do want... We are
definitely up for adventure.
921
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,640
Like, it's so nice that you have
that relationship together,
922
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,800
and you've built that for Julia.
923
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:24,400
Like, wherever she is now,
924
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,720
I'm sure she's very happy
to see you both like this.
925
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:29,040
It's almost like she was
on the race with you.
926
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,200
Yeah. She was on the race.
Yeah, yeah.
927
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,600
That's so lovely. Sorry!
It's a lovely legacy. Lovely legacy.
928
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,080
Arriving in Mongolia,
929
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,000
the filming teams faced
one of the toughest environments
930
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,080
the race had come up against,
931
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,880
navigating extreme weather
and limited infrastructure
932
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,360
after months of meticulous planning.
933
00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:03,400
The planning of Mongolia,
934
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,120
it must have been a huge
endeavour for everyone.
935
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,120
We're here in Mongolia,
it's all very exciting.
936
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,400
We've got this massive map
of the country
937
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,320
that our lovable fixers
have lent us,
938
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,040
and we basically have just
got all of the stops
939
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,600
and the potential places we think
that the cast might be headed.
940
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,200
We just need to make sure we know
where all the teams are
941
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:22,600
at all times.
942
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,400
To ensure safety, production members
keep the teams trackable
943
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,160
and in sight whenever
they travel by car,
944
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,320
in what are called
'follow vehicles'.
945
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,120
So this is day 42
of Race Across The World,
946
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:40,880
and I'm in our SV,
following the cast and crew.
947
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,040
They are...they are over here.
948
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:48,120
I'm currently wrangling
yesterday's rushes.
949
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:49,480
This is my office.
950
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,320
It's the final two weeks of Race,
951
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,120
and this just feels like an
absolute privilege and pleasure
952
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,120
to be here, filming this.
953
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,400
It's in the middle of nowhere,
but we're in Mongolia!
954
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,400
I actually currently
can't hear them,
955
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,640
because we've got so many
devices plugged into me!
956
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:13,480
We've got walkies, we've got phones,
we've got Garmins.
957
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:18,400
Currently, the only way we can
contact the SV is with our Garmin.
958
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,000
So... Yes, we're on our own! Yes.
959
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,560
Right, weather - again,
we may hit minus 25 degrees.
960
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,240
It's going to be cold.
Stay covered, properly.
961
00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:39,680
Yeah. Good luck.
962
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,720
And stay warm. We will!
963
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,160
While we're nearing Mongolia,
964
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,480
it's cold during the day
and even colder at night,
965
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,800
so we need quick access
to extra layers after sunset.
966
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,840
From Italy to Mongolia,
967
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,960
we've gone from plus 30,
down to minis 30,
968
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,320
which in itself brings new problems.
969
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,360
Where Italy was sunburn,
970
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,040
here, it's hyperthermia.
971
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,360
To battle the sub-zero conditions,
everyone on the ground
972
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,840
had to be equipped
with extreme cold-weather gear.
973
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,480
This is where we slept last night,
but the stove was off.
974
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,760
It's exceptionally cold.
Lots of layers on.
975
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,240
It is quite extreme here.
976
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:21,040
The worst part of the entire
night was Duane snoring, guys.
977
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,800
That is such a fib!
That is your snoring!
978
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,560
Your snoring.
979
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,960
It's colder than I had expected.
Don't know about you.
980
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,000
The coats we had, the outfits,
981
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,200
like, you'd put your hood up
and pull the zip ties,
982
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,960
and you'd literally have
a little space like this
983
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,480
to look through. It was just boss.
It was...it was just fun, innit?
984
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,120
Yeah. But I think...
985
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,440
I think I grossly underestimated
how cold it was going to be.
986
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,080
Ending in Mongolia
was just crazy.
987
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:51,600
It is so cold! Yeah. Oh, my God!
988
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,360
Where are you going?
I don't have a clue.
989
00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:00,080
There's just such vastness, and so
many random things can happen.
990
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,760
So, for the crew,
the amount of planning needed
991
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,840
to try and get ten idiots
to race across the world is insane!
992
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,040
I mean, when we started
this whole journey,
993
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,040
we always said, we were like, "When
we travel, we want to live it."
994
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,320
But me and Jo have never really...
We spent some time together.
995
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,800
We've been on, like,
little holidays,
996
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,600
but it's never been more
than, what, like a week,
997
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,520
two weeks we've ever spent
at the same time?
998
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,480
And so it was nothing
to what I'd imagined.
999
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,000
This is important.
1000
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,840
Oh, slides. And these. Comfort.
1001
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,560
Comfort is your best friend.
1002
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:39,480
Those are old man shoes, them, bro.
Those are old man's shoes! Oh!
1003
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,240
Eager to make every second count,
1004
00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:46,160
fresh out of college, Jo and
Kush wanted to explore life beyond
1005
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,000
the familiar world they were raised
in by their mums in Liverpool.
1006
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,160
This is our plan.
This is our security,
1007
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,280
which I'm going
to be taking charge of!
1008
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,920
You still need to be on it
with Kush sometimes.
1009
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,680
Have we got our passports? Cos...
Yeah, yeah. Excuse me! Definitely.
1010
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,760
What are you trying to say?!
1011
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:05,920
Liverpool's a small place.
1012
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:07,880
We've gone out of the city,
don't get me wrong,
1013
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,520
but it's kind of like
you still don't scale
1014
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,280
how big the world is.
1015
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,400
I mean, coming into this,
once we applied,
1016
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,200
we realised we are probably
going to be the youngest.
1017
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,080
Come on!
So I think with youth comes this,
1018
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:23,400
this preconception
of a lack of maturity,
1019
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,480
um, lack of life experience.
1020
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,480
We seen ourselves as the underdogs,
we seen ourselves as the...
1021
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,400
..yeah, the least capable.
And I think...
1022
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,040
..it's flipped, hasn't it?
1023
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,600
It embarks 3am in the morning.
1024
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,760
Yes! 3am in the morning?
1025
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,080
I don't think any teams
could have done it faster.
1026
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,480
Don't judge a book by its cover.
1027
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:45,720
I think one thing about me and Jo
1028
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:47,480
is we are actually,
we're good at different things.
1029
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,520
We worked well with
what the other person lacked.
1030
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,480
Like me,
I sort of overthought a lot.
1031
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:53,360
And I was like,
"Oh, we have to do everything
1032
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:54,800
"and think of it in a specific way."
1033
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,280
And then some...
And Jo would be like,
1034
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,880
"No, just act, do."
So that's where I would have
1035
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,600
probably held us back if I'd
kept trying to plan everything.
1036
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,720
I would still be in Palermo, if I...
..if you weren't there. But...
1037
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,080
..you were behind the strategy.
1038
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,320
You're, like...
You're very calculated.
1039
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,960
And I think I focus
too much on the present,
1040
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,080
whereas you look
so far into the future.
1041
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,840
It helped me see the finish line,
if that makes sense.
1042
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,520
Actually, Jo and Kush,
1043
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,880
I feel like you make
the mistakes at the beginning,
1044
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,280
and you learn
from those mistakes early on,
1045
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,560
and then you ace it
for the final round,
1046
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,200
which is what I think
you guys basically did.
1047
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,680
Tried our best. Yeah.
Well, especially being last.
1048
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,840
It's a...it gives a kick
up the...kick up the arse!
1049
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,000
LAUGHTER
1050
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,760
Although he sustained
a drive to succeed...
1051
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,160
Uzbekistan this way.
1052
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,680
He doesn't know his north.
Oh, my days.
1053
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,400
..Kush struggled
with his mental health.
1054
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,360
We need to do for this price.
1055
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,480
There is no way. Oh, I feel sick!
1056
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,240
I think the race was probably
the peak of my...of my struggles,
1057
00:49:59,240 --> 00:50:01,040
when I was losing the most sleep.
1058
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:08,840
The risk of making one wrong choice
had such an impact.
1059
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,240
You have a lot to worry about.
1060
00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:12,680
I'm going to be thinking
the entire night.
1061
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,240
It's been such a rough day.
I had a lot of reminders of my dad,
1062
00:50:16,240 --> 00:50:19,600
and it dug up a lot of feelings
that I hadn't dealt with.
1063
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,160
We can still do this.
1064
00:50:22,240 --> 00:50:23,720
God.
1065
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,840
We just can't give up.
1066
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,800
I think a lot of the race
involves how you cope with stress.
1067
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,920
Because if you let the stress
get to you,
1068
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,160
you will break
and you can literally...
1069
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,320
..you could go home.
1070
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,280
and you can't expect to
go on a journey
1071
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:39,800
and expect it to be all fine.
1072
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,640
But I know you're benefiting
from venting.
1073
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,200
Just talking. Yeah.
1074
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,000
I just really appreciate the fact
1075
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,640
that Jo's always up for...for sort
of looking after me, in a way.
1076
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,920
Yeah. I mean, he is,
he's my best mate.
1077
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,720
But, yeah, we kept each other sane.
1078
00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:10,560
We...we kept moving.
1079
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:15,320
Oh! Come on, bro. Final sprint.
And we never gave up once.
1080
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,440
What? Wait!
1081
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:21,880
How did we do that, bro?
1082
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,520
I've started seeing
a weekly counsellor,
1083
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,120
just to help process my emotions.
And I think it's really,
1084
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,520
really helped. Nothing to do with
the race, just in day-to-day life.
1085
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,000
And now I can learn
to handle myself a lot better.
1086
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,680
But it's about learning.
Yeah, exactly.
1087
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,640
Life's learning.
And life's about learning,
1088
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,480
and learning as you make it,
as you go on.
1089
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,280
Better learn it now when you're
younger. Yeah, definitely.
1090
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:43,400
Than when you're 67!
1091
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,080
The one thing the race did teach,
as well, is it is actually OK
1092
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,760
to ask for help. I mean, we couldn't
have done it without asking for...
1093
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,640
100%. Hundreds of people helped
us on our journey.
1094
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,080
I'm going to pay them.
1095
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:56,840
What? Are you serious?
1096
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,360
Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
1097
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,160
Thank you. Thank you so much.
You've been so much help.
1098
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,600
Jo, bro said we could stay
at his house. Whaaat?
1099
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,720
You know how many time a week
do you eat sardine?
1100
00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:13,720
Five, yes, yes. Five times a week?
1101
00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:17,520
Is that why you're strong, yeah?
Yeah. No gym, no training, nothing.
1102
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,360
Sardines! Just sardines! Yes, yes!
1103
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,320
The people they met and
the confidence they gained from them
1104
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,320
inspired Jo to travel independently,
1105
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:32,000
taking his first solo trip
to The Gambia.
1106
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,400
I think, yeah, the race
definitely encouraged me
1107
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,960
to continue travelling, and I don't
think I would have gone to Gambia
1108
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,240
without it. I did get
in contact with this family
1109
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:41,840
who owned a farm,
1110
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,640
and they look for travellers
to come help them work.
1111
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,160
And in return they get food,
1112
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,920
a shelter, and a family
to chill with.
1113
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:55,400
And that's what I did. And I did,
I explained how I wanted to
1114
00:52:55,400 --> 00:53:00,160
explore my heritage. And I think
they resonated with that.
1115
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,640
They were very caring.
1116
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,040
What would you like to do next?
What do you fancy doing?
1117
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:08,240
We've got no real plan at the moment
in terms of the future,
1118
00:53:08,240 --> 00:53:10,280
but I know that we both
are going to travel.
1119
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,760
We don't know where yet,
but it's going to happen.
1120
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:14,240
At 19 years old,
1121
00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:17,840
you guys have accomplished
something so major in your life.
1122
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,480
I wish I was doing stuff
like this when I was 19!
1123
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,080
I was just revising for exams!
That's my whole life.
1124
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,840
Honestly, so proud of you.
1125
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:30,440
So proud of you, from the bottom
of our hearts. Genuinely.
1126
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,280
Let's go. Let's go.
1127
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,560
This is it, bro!
1128
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,640
The race was tough. So tough.
1129
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:42,240
It was tough, and it's amazing
to know that we can get through it
1130
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:44,280
and succeed.
1131
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:45,840
Three, two, one...
1132
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,320
Bro! Oh, my God!
1133
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,800
Lad! Aaargh!
1134
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,960
Go run, yo!
1135
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,440
I feel this race
is bigger than a degree.
1136
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,960
You're...you're actually joking.
1137
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,520
Actually, bro.
1138
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,160
The biggest thing I've taken
from the race is that
1139
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,120
life's to be lived,
and go and enjoy it.
1140
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,640
It's not all be all, end all. Yeah.
1141
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:18,320
Like, there is another way.
And actually the wins end up
1142
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,920
being a lot sweeter because
you've dealt with the low.
1143
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,960
You can just do whatever you want,
and the world is there to be seen.
1144
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,800
And put your phone down
and actually listen to people.
1145
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,760
Can I take you into school
and say that?
1146
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,440
Yeah!
1147
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,160
I got a question for everyone -
would you do it again?
1148
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,560
Yeah, 100%. Absolutely.
Absolutely. Yeah.
1149
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:43,480
I'd pay a lot of money
to do it again!
1150
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,560
Whoa! Whoa!
1151
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,480
Oh, nice! Yay!
1152
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,200
HORN BLASTS
1153
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,200
Mm!
1154
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,720
Puj, look, look, look. There you go.
Wow!
1155
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:57,840
It's gorgeous.
1156
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:06,720
Oh, where are we going?
1157
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,120
It's definitely the most
beautiful drive
1158
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:12,760
I've ever been on my entire life.
1159
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,800
Wow. It's almost mystical, isn't it?
1160
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,160
Oh, my Jeanie Macarooney!
1161
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,720
Oh, look. There's one there.
Oh! It's huge.
1162
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,960
You all right, kid? I love you.
1163
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,000
I'm very proud of us, I can't lie.
I'm proud!
1164
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,920
Epic. Absolutely epic.
1165
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,760
Oh! Katie, what are you doing?
1166
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,480
Oh, BLEEP it!
1167
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,880
Whoa! Oh, my God! Lad, what?!
1168
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,960
Yes! Aaaaahhh!
1169
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,400
We did it! We won!
