…the cast…

Jo and Kush - Childhood best friends from Liverpool, Jo (19, College Student) and Kush (19, gap-year student), are the youngest duo in the race. Still living at home with their mums and fresh out of school, this is their first real taste of independence.

Spoiler:

Katie and Harrison - Inseparable siblings Katie (21, Account Manager) and Harrison (23, Finance Assistant) from Manchester may do everything together, but they could not be more different when it comes to the race.

Spoiler:

Molly and Andrew - Junior Doctor Molly (23) and her father Andrew (54, Geography Teacher) from Northern Ireland have always been close, but as Molly prepares to start her medical career, she wants to prove to her dad that she’s more capable than he gives her credit for.

Spoiler:

Puja and Roshni - Puja (31, doctor) and her cousin Roshni (32, software engineer) from London have spent their twenties building successful careers and putting wanderlust on hold.

Spoiler:

Mark and Margo - Unlikely duo Mark (66, retired architect) from London, and Margo (59, hypnotherapist) from Liverpool, have spent the last 40 years with a typically fractious in-laws' relationship. But after recently putting their differences aside in pursuit of a shared goal – caring for a loved one - they’ve developed a fondness for each other’s company.

Oh I'm definitely watching. Love Race across the world.

[Benjamin]

It’s on

[Benjamin]

I feel like Margo is going to be annoying.

[Vanessa]

I'll catch up on this later.

[Vanessa]

Watching it now, London

[Ammi]

…I missed watching this in real time as I somehow thought that the start time was 9pm after MAFS Australia …I enjoyed it on catch up though, the Italy scenery was just absolutely splendid and beautiful and just made me want to go back there this year…and I know that Greece will offer the same beauty in their next checkpoint destination…I always love the stories on Race Across the World and Mark and Margo’s is so unique and emotional in honouring the wishes of his wife/her sister in building a closer relationship/friendship…I really hope that they both see that happening through this…..

[Vanessa]

I didn't realize I was watching series one and not the new series
I've been binge watching

Channel 4 has the amazing race Australia at the moment. I'm catching up with that and it's so different. I like both.

….yeah, I didn’t think the current season was easily see-able on the iplayer site either and then when the first episode ended, it went directly into season 1 again…..

I don't think so. It was brilliant.
Are you following the amazing race Australia? I'm so getting into it.

I never realised just how built up and busy Sicily was. I don’t know why but I just always thought it was little small-ish towns here and there around the coast, similar to a Greek island I suppose. Pleasantly surprised - Palermo looked fun!

Italy is beautiful. I've been to Bari and Alberobello with my mum. A truly unique place, And the beaches are stunning.

I’ve been to a few places in Italy. Would love to go back. Rome is top of my list obviously.

Genoa was wild I remember - so, so busy but fantastic. Scooters everywhere.
