The BAFTA-winning series Race Across the World is set to return for a sixth series on Thursday 2 April, airing on BBC One and iPlayer. In the toughest journey yet, five teams will travel over 12,000 km across Europe and Asia, from Italy to Mongolia.
The teams include best friends Jo and Kush, siblings Katie and Harrison, father and daughter Molly and Andrew, cousins Puja and Roshni, and in-laws Mark and Margo. They will race without smartphones or bank cards, relying only on cash equivalent to the flight cost.
The route passes through Italy, Greece, Türkiye, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and finishes at Lake Khövsgöl in northern Mongolia. Only one team can win the £20,000 prize.
The 9x60' series is produced by Studio Lambert for BBC One and iPlayer, commissioned by Catherine Catton, with Jasmyn McGuile as commissioning editor. Executive producers are Tim Harcourt, Louise Bartmann, Katrina Hession, and Rob Fisher.
