00:00Last autumn, five pairs of ordinary Brits embarked on a 14,000-kilometre race of a lifetime.
00:14Ah, let's go!
00:15Oh, wow!
00:16Run, Sean, Ed, run!
00:19From the Great Wall of China to the southern tip of India.
00:23This is the car before the storm.
00:27Put me hair out if I had any.
00:30It's like an onslaught of the senses.
00:32Woo! Chick-a-doo, chick-a-doo, chick-a-doo, go, go!
00:34Chick-a-doo, chick-a-doo, chick-a-doo, go, go!
00:37They travelled across three countries at ground level.
00:41This is awesome!
00:43Look, it's a sleeping bloody car!
00:45The old fella loves his bloody home!
00:48These are the most special memories we're making.
00:51This is the best view that I've ever had working.
00:54Oh, I want one!
00:56We can't.
00:57Through a multitude of different landscapes.
01:01Oh, my God!
01:02Oh!
01:03We won't ever forget this.
01:04It will be a special place for us.
01:06Probably.
01:08Oh!
01:10Oh, my God!
01:11It looks quite like a fairy tale.
01:13He's not going to bottle it.
01:14He's not a bottle.
01:15Oh, shit!
01:15But only one team could win...
01:19Oh!
01:21..and claim the prize of £20,000.
01:28And now, for the first time since crossing the finish line,
01:32they all sit down together.
01:34We did tell a few porcupines.
01:35No, we never.
01:36Taking the chance to share their ultimate highs...
01:41It's like going back to being a kid again,
01:42but you're allowed to do it.
01:45And the way!
01:48This experience is just making me feel so alive.
01:51We've got each other, though.
01:53It's all right.
01:54What?
01:54And agonising lows.
01:57Literally fresh out of school,
01:58so we've gone from that to luck now.
02:00It's scary and intimidating.
02:02They share unseen moments.
02:04Oh, my God!
02:06It's a Himalaya.
02:08Watch your head.
02:09Oh, my God.
02:11I just told you.
02:13In my head, I was just thinking,
02:14please don't say that.
02:16And reveal secrets from behind the scenes.
02:20One of the camera was literally leaning out the back
02:23of one of the vehicles trying to film it.
02:24It's constantly filming, packing, moving.
02:27Filming, packing, moving.
02:28As they look back...
02:30Keep coming, Mel.
02:31Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.
02:33At their race across the world.
02:36Black tea. Cheers.
02:37Come on.
02:50Coming home to Wales.
02:52Ready? Come here.
02:54Was.
02:54A bit of a shock to the system.
02:56I miss everything about racing.
02:58The suspense of not knowing where you're going to go next.
03:01It was an unbelievable experience.
03:04We're on our way to the council tip.
03:08It's just something typically...
03:10Typically.
03:11Yeah.
03:11We will do together.
03:13Which is actually lovely,
03:15because that's when we don't have our phones,
03:17just like on race.
03:18And we chat to each other.
03:20And we chat about anything and everything.
03:24Go on, go on, get it!
03:26Here is Yin, doing some work in her house.
03:29Well done, muscles.
03:30This is Yin's house.
03:33And we both have our matching fleeces on.
03:35Since coming back from Wraith,
03:37we still see each other a lot.
03:39You know, Yin's only just finally moved out.
03:41I've been doing sort of like DIY,
03:43making it feel a little bit more like my own.
03:46I'm feeling happier about being here.
03:47Hello.
03:49We are at the gym.
03:52You know, we thought,
03:53what a great way to bond.
03:59Here I am in Bequy,
04:02which is a Caribbean island.
04:04Most days I think about the race.
04:06The marvellous, most fantastic adventure
04:09that anyone can ever think of.
04:12I was really proud of Bri.
04:14I'm proud of myself for actually doing it as well.
04:16You get to a certain age and you think,
04:18am I still capable of doing this sort of thing?
04:21And, yeah, I was and I did
04:22and I'd do it again.
04:24Up the oldies.
04:28Having landed back in the UK
04:30over six months ago,
04:32all five teams are meeting up
04:34for the first time since the race.
04:37I think we're here, Mel, aren't we?
04:38Looks a bit posh, mate, doesn't it?
04:40Automatic doors don't walk into it.
04:43Brothers Brian and Melvin.
04:45Cheers, mate.
04:46Cheers.
04:47Who's next then, you're at?
04:49Excited to see everyone?
04:50Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing my pensioner friends,
04:52Brian and Melvin.
04:53Obviously excited to see everyone.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Welsh teenage couple, Finn and Sean Ed.
04:58Hello.
04:59Hello, guys, how are you?
05:01Hi.
05:02Looking good.
05:03Yeah, and so are you.
05:05Wow, look at this.
05:07From Worthing,
05:08Elizabeth and younger sister, Letitia.
05:11Hello.
05:11Hello, girls.
05:13Look at this.
05:14Hello, girls.
05:15How are you?
05:16Oh, really good to see you.
05:18I'm not sure of the quality of the champagne.
05:22Only one person say that.
05:23Are you back into the land of the living now?
05:26Back to work.
05:27Yeah, back to work, back to work.
05:28We've been to Australia.
05:30Good fun.
05:31Very good.
05:31Really good.
05:31It was basically inspired by the race.
05:36Before, we were a bit scared to take that leap.
05:40It was amazing.
05:41Thankfully, no budget.
05:42Otherwise, we'd been out first week.
05:44We'd been gone.
05:45Oh, fantastic.
05:47It'd be interesting to see the others.
05:49We haven't seen them for a while since right at the start.
05:51I hope they all had a really good time.
05:52No, exactly.
05:53From Kent.
05:54Hello.
05:56Yin and ex-husband, Gaz.
05:59I'm next.
06:00And finally, from Suffolk.
06:03I wish we were going there and we were starting it all again.
06:06Really?
06:07Me too, actually.
06:09Mother and son, Caroline and Tom.
06:12Caroline, you look really well.
06:16I'm going for it all.
06:20Obviously, we don't know because we never made it to the end.
06:22So, who actually won out of you?
06:23Who do you think won?
06:25I think one of the young'uns.
06:27But I would have liked you guys.
06:29Yeah, we would have liked you.
06:30I'd really like you guys to have fun, honestly.
06:33After the count of three, the people that won took her two steps forward.
06:37One, two, three.
06:41Well done.
06:46Well done.
06:46Well done.
06:47Are you going?
06:48Oh, yeah.
06:48Cheers, guys.
06:48Cheers, guys.
06:49Now, bound together by the experience, the five teams met as strangers.
07:04Pleased to meet you.
07:05Nice to meet you.
07:06How you too?
07:07About to embark on a race through the unknown.
07:10Standing at the start line, in the shadows of the Great Wall of China.
07:23It was one of the most challenging launches to date.
07:26Yin and Gaz came out first, didn't you?
07:29And you looked so determined.
07:31And I was like, uh-oh, what have we done?
07:35You said something like, I'm Gaz, Yin, and we're determined to win.
07:40Something like that.
07:40How confident are you on winning?
07:46Yeah, very confident.
07:47Yeah, 100%.
07:47Really?
07:48It matters, doesn't it?
07:49100% it matters.
07:50It matters.
07:50Yeah, definitely.
07:51In my head, I was just thinking, please don't say that.
07:54I don't remember being that competitive, and I'm not that competitive.
07:58I think I was quite nervous, actually, at the start, to be up against you.
08:01Do you have any languages under your bags?
08:03Go on.
08:04A little bit.
08:05Not a lot.
08:06Mandarin?
08:08Yeah.
08:09Do you want to teach us a few more?
08:10Yeah.
08:12Because I understood a little bit of the language, I felt the pressure, like, I have to, you
08:17know, keep us going.
08:18I did not understand 85% of what people were saying, like, completely.
08:23I'll literally just stare at them and be like, what are you saying?
08:27All right, here we go, then.
08:29You're very young.
08:30You're very young.
08:32You're very old.
08:32Yeah, very old.
08:35Don't underestimate us.
08:36We might be the oldest here, but we've got a bit more experience than you.
08:40You guys, just watching.
08:42When I saw Brian and Melvin, you know, on the start line, and I see Melvin with his suitcase,
08:47I'll be honest.
08:48I'll be honest, I did think, oh, okay, they won't be too hard to beat.
08:52I'll be honest.
08:53I'll be honest.
08:54I'll be honest.
08:55I'll be honest.
08:56I'll be honest.
08:57I'll be honest.
08:58I'll be honest.
08:59I'll be honest.
09:00I'll be honest.
09:01I'll be honest.
09:02I'll be honest.
09:03I'll be honest.
09:04I'll be honest.
09:05Where do we go?
09:06What do we do?
09:07Nobody said it to be from the Great Wall of China.
09:10That's when it's set in reality.
09:13We just started running around like headless chickens.
09:15Wow, that's crazy.
09:20Come on, let's go.
09:24I think nothing can prepare you for thrice.
09:28Language barrier was the main issue.
09:30You have to be so proactive.
09:31Yeah.
09:32I found that quite tough, but that was part of the challenge.
09:35Yeah.
09:37Almost 40 times bigger than the UK, with more than 300 distinct dialects and languages spoken.
09:54Teams were quickly struck by the scale of China, discovering the blend of traditional
09:59values and quaint towns, with its ultra-modern megacities holding populations of millions.
10:08Goody hell, what a place this is.
10:11You've never heard of these places, though.
10:13Like, I've never heard of Charmaine.
10:14Like, if you go on a map and you zoom into Charmaine, it's so small, but you go there and it's a megacity.
10:19You'd get on a bullet train and it'd just be, at night time, just be dark and then you'd come to a big city and it was like massive.
10:25On one of the days, we actually did three bullet trains and we did over a thousand kilometres in a day.
10:31Going into China, I really thought that everything was modern.
10:35Modern, modern, modern, modern, modern.
10:39Until the night train, I was in shock.
10:42Oh, and it's even hard.
10:47You know when you sit down on something and you're expecting a cushion?
10:50This is going to be interesting.
10:52Yeah, I'm not going to sleep tonight.
10:54The smoking issue was a problem, isn't it?
10:59There's big signs saying no smoking and people under the signs smoke.
11:04I think I found my seat at 71, but the man's lying all over it.
11:10It's a very different vibe to a bullet train.
11:13It's not as bad as British Rail.
11:18I'd never been on an overnight train.
11:20It was hellish and uncomfortable and tiring, but I actually enjoyed living through it.
11:26We just managed to have fun. We enjoyed the little things and just had a good time.
11:30We did have some really incredible positive experiences and, you know, those are the moments that really lift you.
11:37Look at that.
11:38Beautiful, beautiful.
11:39Not beautiful, don't it?
11:41This is the real China.
11:43That was picture postcard China.
11:45Yeah.
11:46Seeing the rice paddies.
11:47It was breathtaking, to be honest.
11:49Oh, wow!
11:50Look, look at that.
11:51That looks so neat.
11:54I remember just looking around at the scenery and the mountains were breathtaking.
11:58You were just such a small cog in the hole of nature.
12:01You almost became quite insignificant in a way.
12:03I mean, were you too busy, like, digging under the roof?
12:06I just enjoyed the work.
12:07It was actually quite nice to get out in the fresh air, put your waders on.
12:10Pants may leak water, change clothes after digging.
12:15OK.
12:16There's a hole already?
12:18Great!
12:19Oh, man!
12:25Careful, careful!
12:26Oh!
12:29Yes, Stacey!
12:31I keep falling over.
12:33Former married couple, Yin and Gaz, set off on their journey with the blessing of their daughter, Autumn.
12:43Are you worried that me and your dad will come over as, like, a bit idiotic?
12:46I don't think that's an if, like, I think that's a guarantee.
12:50I think you might have a few delirious moments.
12:52Yeah.
12:54I'm really excited for them.
12:56I think, weirdly, it's, like, what they need at this point in their lives.
13:00Both of them need a bit of an adventure.
13:03I'll miss you because, like, I'll have to deal with your dad by myself.
13:06You'll have no set.
13:07You'll have no set.
13:09We're still one big family, and it's, like, even though they're not together, I'm beyond proud of them.
13:17We're off!
13:18Woo!
13:20Ah!
13:21We thought, wouldn't it be amazing to have some sort of legacy for Autumn to see me and you in a slightly different light to actually just being parents.
13:30And she was rooting for us.
13:31We're going to make a wish?
13:32Wish to win the race.
13:33Yeah.
13:34OK, let's go.
13:35It feels very gentle. It's very calm. It's got a really lovely feel about it. Peels to my senses.
13:40But their race came to an abrupt standstill when Typhoon Trammy struck Hainan Island, leaving the pair stranded.
13:52I have no words.
13:53Limbo.
13:54No words.
13:55I'd pull my hair out if I had any.
13:58We just seemed to, like, encounter an incredible stream of bad luck.
14:02You could see how choppy the sea was.
14:03It's only an hour's ferry ride as well, but then the time get pushed back, pushed back.
14:07We hung around, like, 14 hours just in the ferry terminal.
14:10Oh, wow.
14:12Because there is no other way to get there, it's not like you could hire a speedboat or whatever and get across.
14:16Well, I assume you couldn't.
14:19The delay set them back 44 hours behind the race leaders.
14:24Hello, lady.
14:26Hello.
14:27And for the first time ever, the last team checked in as the first was leaving.
14:32You made it!
14:33Let's check it out.
14:34Oh.
14:35I thought they were signing in.
14:36Oh, never mind.
14:37Not leaving.
14:38Your heart just sinks, doesn't it?
14:39Yeah.
14:40Basically, you just thought, you know, what more can go wrong?
14:43And Calamity struck again with a snap decision.
14:46You can go to Malming.
14:48Malming.
14:49Perfect, that's right.
14:50Well, let's just book it and pray for a miracle.
14:53That sent them 250 kilometres in the wrong direction.
14:57Gods are against us.
14:59It does feel like that, yeah.
15:00We did leave thinking...
15:01All very positive, yeah.
15:02We could catch up.
15:03We were pumped up to kind of go, look, you know, it has been done in the past.
15:06Come on, let's give it all.
15:08I'm trying to find...
15:10...moaming.
15:12Oh, shit.
15:14The race gods let us down again, you know.
15:16We threw the dice and it just went horribly wrong again.
15:19Adrift from the rest of the field, it was the end of the road for yin and gas.
15:25We know it wasn't for not trying.
15:28By this stage, your reflection kicks in, and I think since leaving race,
15:34I recognised that I was struggling already with what China means to me personally.
15:40My heritage is Chinese, and I do identify as a Chinese person.
15:45Where I struggle is my upbringing.
15:48It was in a very traditional household, and I didn't leave home on good terms for my parents.
15:54Some of the struggles that probably I went through are quite unique in the sense of...
16:00Because I look Chinese, I don't speak Mandarin, and I've struggled with my Chinese heritage.
16:07We're looking for a bus station or a train station.
16:16No, I don't...
16:18When I came back from race, I reconnected with my siblings and recognised that it had to be addressed.
16:25The real gift that race gave me was to address that and then move forward with my life.
16:32My partner, who I'd been with for three years, had passed away very suddenly in September 23.
16:39So one of the reasons for coming on race is to give me that kind of energy to see what's out there.
16:45I want to give you a hug.
16:47And the relief and lightness that I now feel...
16:50You know, and I do now feel like one of the biggest things that I've probably changed about myself is that life is there to be lived.
16:56It was the catalyst.
16:57It was the catalyst to enable me to move forward.
17:00And when we went travelling afterwards, it was absolutely brilliant.
17:03So we still kind of like that impetus to kind of want to engage with life, to kind of like get involved and to meet people and things like that.
17:12So, you know...
17:13Positive.
17:14Yeah, exactly. I think you have to.
17:15Rather than negative.
17:16Yeah, absolutely.
17:18For Yin and Gaz, the race strengthened their bond.
17:24It probably has brought us more together.
17:26And what I think we want in life for the pair of us is just to be happy whether I find love, whether Yin finds love again or whatever.
17:34We'll always be in each other's lives because we're just great friends.
17:37It probably seems really bizarre to the outside world, but to us it's normal, you know.
17:42And as we've said, you know, at the end of the day, all I've ever wanted was the best for Yin.
17:46And I'm just very proud of how Yin's become.
17:51It's all right.
17:53Gaz is the most amazing, kind-hearted, supportive person.
17:57I would always want him to always back me because I don't think I could have done it without you.
18:03It's all right.
18:04It's all right.
18:05It's all right.
18:06It's all right.
18:08No, wait, I'm going.
18:12Oh, that's brilliant.
18:17Travelling through the two most populated countries in the world, with a combined population of almost 3 billion.
18:26Namaste.
18:28Oh, yeah.
18:29Their meetings with the locals made all the difference to their race.
18:34We didn't know what to expect, but aren't they lovely?
18:36If you can help us, that would be great.
18:38Yeah, this is India.
18:39Anything can happen.
18:42As not all of their encounters can be shown, they share their most memorable, unseen moments with each other.
18:49We met some wonderful people who went out of their way to help us.
18:51You don't have to do much to do something that means so much.
18:55Like, built such, so much more of an understanding of the culture.
18:59I loved that.
19:01What happens if they can't print the tickets out?
19:04They will? Okay.
19:06I like your confidence.
19:07I'm trusting you.
19:08We found these people, and they booked us the bus ticket that we needed.
19:13I can't believe this.
19:14People are just being so unnecessarily kind.
19:17And they got us a taxi to take us to a printing shop.
19:22He's done it already.
19:23No!
19:25No way!
19:28Thank you so much.
19:30Er, this way.
19:32This way?
19:33At the start of the race, even before, I'm not very good at communicating with people.
19:38Yes, yeah.
19:39Make sure she gets the background in.
19:41You keep moving away from me.
19:42Yeah, because she's like...
19:43Don't put your arm up there, they look so stupid.
19:44Okay, okay.
19:45Put it down.
19:46Can you...
19:47Okay, you don't...
19:48It's okay.
19:49We definitely started off in a position where neither of us wanted to speak to anyone,
19:54especially with that extra thing of the language barriers.
19:59Beijing?
20:00So, from here to here, so whenever someone would just stop to listen,
20:05even if we didn't get any information out of it,
20:07we were still grateful that they stopped,
20:09because nobody has to do anything for us.
20:12You can just call her Didi.
20:13Didi.
20:14Didi's older sister.
20:15Oh, wow.
20:16Didi.
20:17Thank you, Didi.
20:20We only finished the race as a result of what everyone else did for us.
20:24We wouldn't have got anywhere if nobody stopped and gave us time.
20:29Having the kindness of strangers has definitely made me be more open to giving everyone else the help they need.
20:37Do you work here?
20:38Yes, I do.
20:39I just got off my shift, so that's why I'm sitting here.
20:41Oh, lovely.
20:42Oh, lovely.
20:43I actually wanted to have some questions about where we could...
20:46First day, first time in Delhi?
20:47Yes, first time in Delhi.
20:48Okay.
20:49We haven't had a night out yet.
20:50It's Saturday.
20:51It's Saturday.
20:52It's Saturday.
20:53Nice life.
20:54Yeah.
20:55Is it going to be so busy?
20:56Of course.
20:57Ah, yes.
20:58I can take you there if you'd like that.
21:00I can go with you guys.
21:01Yes!
21:02Come with us!
21:03Come with us!
21:04Yeah!
21:05He saw that we were in need of just having some fun and he finished his shift and took
21:13us around Delhi and made that experience, you know, ten times better.
21:19All of the people that we met in India, China and Nepal were all lovely people.
21:24Everybody wanted to speak to us and we wanted to speak to them.
21:29Welcome.
21:30You have been really helpful.
21:31Thank you very much.
21:32Oh, you don't have to thank me.
21:34Well, I do because you're really nice.
21:36Like my duty too, you know?
21:37You're from another country.
21:38Of course I should help you get around here.
21:40People like you encourage people like us, especially old people like us, to come to
21:45lovely places like this and I thank you.
21:48Thank you, thank you too.
21:49Yeah.
21:50Amazing people.
21:51High five!
21:52High fives, guys!
21:53Give me five.
21:54One.
21:55Yes!
21:56Yes!
21:57And they're all wanting photographs with you.
21:58We were such a novelty, I think.
21:59Yeah.
22:00Did he swear?
22:01Was he novelty then?
22:02He said, fine, thank you.
22:04A great source of amusement, I think.
22:14Yes, that's all right.
22:18Yes.
22:21Having taken different paths in life, the race gave brothers Brian and Melvin the time
22:26to reconnect.
22:29Here, here you go.
22:30That's me, 1974, at school.
22:33For the first time in 50 years.
22:36Yeah.
22:37What do you reckon then?
22:38Yeah?
22:39Changed?
22:40Smile.
22:41I mean, certainly the air's changed, hasn't it?
22:44I was a handsome lad then, you know?
22:46I used to have girlfriends all over the place.
22:48Did you?
22:49Yeah.
22:501965.
22:51That's mum's writing.
22:52Kid, I wouldn't actually know that was me.
22:54It's not.
22:55It's the answer we just made up.
22:57Look, who cut your hair?
22:59The brothers wished to discover the connection they'd shared as children.
23:03Ah, lovely.
23:05Lovely.
23:08Oh, what's that?
23:09That's just a piece of board in the bed and board bits.
23:12What's happened tonight is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping would happen.
23:24I can't remember the last time we laughed like that together.
23:27When you get to 60-odd, you don't recreate what you had, but you can create, can't you?
23:34When Melve asked me to go on the race, it gave me the opportunity to prove to myself
23:39and to others that I wasn't always staying in five-star hotels or whatever.
23:45It's something that I can do.
23:47I think you're amazing, and I actually wonder if some of the joy you had
23:52and the laughter you had was because you had to rough it for once.
23:55Definitely, yeah.
23:56Some of the situations that we found ourselves in were...
23:58Laughable.
23:59Beyond stupid.
24:00Yeah.
24:01So we'd either cry or laugh.
24:04Oh, God!
24:07Oh, shoot!
24:08The brothers grabbed all the race had to offer.
24:11Just sort of like a...
24:12Twa?
24:13Yeah.
24:18With both hands.
24:20You're doing that?
24:21Don't.
24:22Don't you dare.
24:24That's digging deep.
24:25We did all right.
24:26Proud of you for picking up shit.
24:29What a ridiculous thing to do, right?
24:31There's a dustpan and brush there, but no, I have to go and pick it up with my hands.
24:37And then the look on Brian's face.
24:38And then...
24:39And then...
24:40Oh.
24:41How much?
24:42One person is 700 rupees.
24:43There's two people.
24:44Two people is...
24:451,040.
24:46Can you do any cheaper?
24:481,500.
24:491,500.
24:50Okay.
24:51Two pieces.
24:521,500.
24:53Is that a good deal?
24:54Could have sworn he said 14.
24:56Did it?
24:57No.
24:58No.
24:59Well played, Sam.
25:00While you were racing, did you find the joy again of being brothers?
25:04Selling us in the lifts, wasn't it?
25:06We both kept pressing the buttons.
25:08That was exactly the sort of thing we did when we were kids.
25:11We would have done that as kids.
25:12Well, I think you're going to let him breathe a bit.
25:15Put him in a bag, Matt.
25:17I was thinking...
25:18I knew exactly what you were going to do.
25:21I was going to throw him in my face.
25:22I knew exactly what he was going to do.
25:24I'll pick up my pension in a few months.
25:26I'm 66 this year.
25:28But I've got a lot of life to look forward to.
25:31The brothers also ventured into new territory with their relationship.
25:36I'll tell you what I couldn't understand, and I still can't get my head around to it to this day.
25:41I was never told that you were going to boarding school.
25:44Really?
25:45Yeah, you just went.
25:47Talking about it when we did, I don't think I realised that I felt as emotional about it or the pressure of it.
25:55If you keep things bottled up, then I don't think we realised that we both felt the same way,
25:59because we'd never had a chance to talk about anything.
26:01We kind of realised halfway through that we weren't that far apart.
26:04It was a little emotional, but we got over it, didn't we?
26:08Cold beer sorted it.
26:11Cheers, mate.
26:12Cheers, mate. Well done.
26:13Cheers.
26:15This race has pulled something out of us.
26:17It has brought us together.
26:19We are sharing things more, and as long as we remember that, that we are there for each other.
26:24I don't think I'd ever say to Brian I love him.
26:27Even though I'm sure he knows I do.
26:30Hello.
26:31Hello.
26:33Yeah, we're extremely proud, aren't we?
26:35Furn British handshake.
26:36Yeah.
26:37Over time, moving from handshakes...
26:40Signing overleaf.
26:42Oh!
26:43Oh!
26:44Oh!
26:45Oh!
26:46Oh!
26:47Oh!
26:48Oh!
26:49Oh!
26:50Oh!
26:51We're wet.
26:52To hugs.
26:53Stick it there, mate.
26:54Well done.
26:55Well done, pal.
26:56Hug.
26:57We have completed the race.
26:59I mean, your grandchildren will absolutely love that.
27:02To see that, and the change in the relationship where you've been apart to now sort of thing,
27:06will join your family so much closer.
27:08Well, I hope so.
27:09They'll be wanting to put capes on you.
27:11That upbringing, when we were kids, was tough.
27:14It was hard.
27:15And when we started this journey, we were both struggling to explain and we were quite upset
27:21about it.
27:22Since the race, I'm now fine about it.
27:26Yeah.
27:27We both now know how we both felt at the time, and we've never mentioned that in 40 years.
27:32Yeah, right.
27:33It doesn't worry me any longer.
27:34It's gone.
27:35Next chapter, I think, is to try and become a family.
27:40Melv hasn't seen two of my grandkids.
27:43I'd say this summer, Melvin and all my family will get together.
27:48We've actually put ourselves in a position to do this, to become a family again, if you
27:53like.
27:54Yeah.
27:55That's it.
27:56If you don't do anything about that relationship, if you don't keep in touch, you don't do anything,
28:01you tend to drift away, don't you?
28:03And now, I think, after race, we are closer.
28:11Oh, my gosh.
28:13Travelling across the world is one thing.
28:16Look!
28:20Watch out!
28:21Having a camera on you is another thing, you know?
28:25Give me a thumbs up, guys.
28:28Teams spent almost two months on the road, their every move captured by the film crew.
28:34They were patient, they had to be patient, really, because none of us are actors, are we?
28:50Why did you choose to do this, why that?
28:53You don't know yourself.
28:54Yes, you don't.
28:55So I was just like, well, I don't know, I just chose to do it, because it feels like the best option.
28:59But they don't help you.
29:00They don't, yeah.
29:02I'm sure people will think, oh, well, they must get a little bit of help here and there.
29:05Absolutely.
29:06They let you go in the wrong direction for as long as you want.
29:09There's many occasions you're on a train and you're looking at them and saying,
29:12come on, please, please tell us to get off here.
29:14Give me an eye movement.
29:15Nothing.
29:16Nothing.
29:17It was a Shangri-La.
29:18We were running, we didn't realise the place were right above, but all the crew just stood there.
29:23They don't say, oh, they just watch you and record you.
29:26Which way are you going?
29:27I think it's, should we just go down here, because the car's, ah, let's go.
29:33This just feels wrong for him.
29:35Come back this way.
29:36We'll go down those stairs the other way.
29:40I'm sure there's a pathway there.
29:42That's not the main road.
29:43Do you think?
29:44Yeah.
29:45Let's go up there.
29:47Dharma wheel.
29:51And the fact that all of us had these teams.
29:53And then there's another team when you get to the checkpoint.
29:56Yeah.
29:57At our first checkpoint, when we didn't know we were really, really late,
30:00we thought we might still be in with a chance.
30:02Yeah.
30:03As we opened the taxi door, there must have been seven cameras in our face in the dark.
30:07Yeah.
30:08It was a good clue to know that you were in the right place, though, wasn't it?
30:10Yeah.
30:12During each leg, the teams are accompanied by an embedded camera crew,
30:17undergoing the exact same journey and never leaving their side 24 hours a day.
30:22They use small handheld cameras to stay as light and agile as possible.
30:29But that all changes once the team's near the checkpoint.
30:35Oh, where are you going? That way.
30:37That way.
30:38And the checkpoint crew take over.
30:40A production team including directors, coordinators, camera and sound operators
30:46to make sure the excitement of the final push is covered.
30:49When the safety tracker goes off, you completely forget what's around you.
30:53It makes it feel so real.
30:55Yeah, but then you forgot where you put your glasses.
30:59Specs.
31:01Hey.
31:02Good.
31:03Good night.
31:04We're, like, running as fast as we can.
31:07There's so many camera operators trying to go as fast as we can.
31:12Some are running backwards, some that are holding each other to make sure that they're safe.
31:16Bigger cameras.
31:18Some drones.
31:19I felt like we're in a movie.
31:24One of the cameras was literally strapped.
31:30Leaning out the back of one of the vehicles trying to film it.
31:33Yeah.
31:37When we're leaving each checkpoint, the team's there to film us leaving,
31:42but then as soon as we're gone, they're flying to the next one.
31:45We're moving probably 2,000, maybe 3,000 miles from each checkpoint.
31:51So they're racing us, aren't they, to get to that point?
31:55Two flights done.
31:56We're in Kathmandu.
31:57We're halfway to Varanasi.
32:00Huge amounts of equipment, and it's just a massive operation.
32:04Logistically, I don't know how they do it.
32:05After the third checkpoint, unable to cross by land...
32:21Oh, my gosh!
32:24Wow!
32:25I wanna see...
32:26Both crew and racers flew over the Himalayas.
32:31That one there is everything.
32:33Absolutely beautiful.
32:36It is very large.
32:38Seeing the Himalayas, it's very special.
32:41It looks unbelievable.
32:44And continued from Kathmandu, Nepal.
32:48We're here, Mel.
32:50The sun's shining at last.
32:52I loved Nepal so much because, obviously,
32:56it's very different from home, but it felt very close-knit.
33:01It was the most vibrant, colourful, welcoming country.
33:04I just loved it.
33:06The only form of transport was road.
33:08Yeah.
33:09And yet they were the worst roads I've ever known.
33:11My arse is still suffering.
33:15Look at the windscreen, right?
33:17Never pass this MOT, would it, that?
33:18He's fine. Let's air through that.
33:21Oh!
33:23It's very rickety, isn't it?
33:27This road is absolutely awful.
33:29I know.
33:31Oh, my goodness.
33:33Wow.
33:34Wow.
33:35That's like being in bumper cars, you know, when you're like...
33:37It's a continuous bumper car.
33:40It was an adventure.
33:41I enjoyed that.
33:43It's like being on a roller coaster.
33:44Yeah, the night bus we went on.
33:46We were trying to sleep and you just had to hold on.
33:48Hold on for dear life.
33:50Your head was hitting the roof.
33:51I thought Mum was going to start crying.
33:53Oh!
33:55Oh!
33:57I don't mind the roughness on the roads.
34:02But it's a very different story when you're on the edge of a cliff.
34:06Look at that.
34:08I want to go again this year.
34:11Like, I want to go up to Everest Base Camp.
34:14Do you find those obstacles not big anymore?
34:16It's just your mindset, really, isn't it?
34:18Yeah.
34:19Yeah, I think you've got to look at reasons why you should do things,
34:22not why you shouldn't.
34:24Sorry, but I remember finding out that you guys were 18 and 19.
34:27And I was...
34:29I've got Mum, and she's older and wiser, so I felt like I was in good hands.
34:32But you two are still young and silly.
34:35So how you did it, I tell you, it was so impressive.
34:38It was hard, but it was...
34:39All credit to you.
34:42All right, let's keep going.
34:46The young couple started off strong.
34:49Oh!
34:51I'm proud of us. I'm proud of you.
34:52I'm happy. Proud of you. Well done.
34:54Yay!
34:56But the magnitude of what they faced...
34:59Right, is he helping or is he, like, just like...
35:00Well, I'm not sure, Finn. I have never been here before.
35:06Really hit home when they reached India.
35:09What in the world is going on?
35:13Way too busy.
35:15I've never in my life been to a...
35:17Wow.
35:19A place this tight with this many people, I don't think.
35:21It's basically everything I wanted to avoid,
35:23and I'm in the middle of it.
35:26Literally fresh out of school,
35:27so to have gone from that to...
35:30luck now.
35:32It's scary and it's really intimidating
35:34because you've just got all these people,
35:37all these beeping noises.
35:39We're young, with no phones, any sense of direction.
35:43It was...hard.
35:44I have no idea where we are.
35:54Oh.
35:56Oh, no.
35:58Uh, no.
36:00Bus.
36:02Tickets.
36:03Bus tickets.
36:04We were both just like, what do we do?
36:15Hmm.
36:17More you than me because I was too busy crying.
36:19You know, the stress that that's given you for two 18-year-olds...
36:23It's laughable now.
36:24And then now, when you're thinking about it,
36:25it seems like it's just such a short period of time,
36:27you know, 24 hours.
36:28Exactly.
36:29But...
36:30It felt like end of the world.
36:31Yeah.
36:33I think there was many times in India where I thought,
36:36I can't do this, I need to go home, not just want to, I need to,
36:39because this is too much.
36:41But I'm really glad I just stuck it out because...
36:44...experience in it's been really valuable.
36:49It's built character in us, I think, and it's built us as people.
36:55It's tough doing something like this in a relationship,
36:58but I do think it made us stronger.
37:00It was a good way to see if, you know, we can do it forever,
37:03or, you know what, this isn't for us, let's...
37:06...end.
37:08But that wasn't the case.
37:10We are still together and we're going well.
37:11Yeah.
37:12I think that was a...
37:13...big challenge and the best challenge we could have had together, I think.
37:16Where you've got this, like, new resilience,
37:18I think if I had had that when I was your age,
37:21I would have taken a lot more risks.
37:23Mm-hm.
37:24You know, I'm just going to do it, if I fail, I fail,
37:25but I would have learnt something from it.
37:27We came home and we were just like, let's go for Australia.
37:31Before race, we pushed it aside and said,
37:33oh, maybe not yet, wait a few years.
37:36Do you find that both of you are finding you're growing into yourself
37:38and because of the experience you know what you want?
37:41100%.
37:42I think it's made me realise I don't really want to get into a job
37:44and then stuck there and not travel.
37:46I kind of want to see the world and then maybe choose my career path.
37:49Well, we've got that travel bug.
37:51It's clear that we want to just travel more before actually settling down.
37:57I'd say even getting to know you in the last two months,
38:00from the start to the finish,
38:02I could see you becoming so much more confident
38:05and willing to talk and just wanting to actually, like,
38:08be around other people and that was really nice to see.
38:11For the four pairs left in the race, India was an assault on the senses.
38:24From the chaotic capital, Delhi,
38:26to the baking deserts of Rajasthan
38:29and the idyllic beaches of Goa,
38:32it's a land of extremes and unpredictability.
38:37It was just such a shock.
38:41It was all just so overstimulating.
38:45Like, the traffic, the people, the smells.
38:48Like, you couldn't even concentrate.
38:52Oh, look at this, eh?
38:54Ha-ha!
38:55Bloody hell!
38:56I would not like to drive it.
38:58No!
39:03India has a different feeling.
39:05This is ten times busier.
39:08And just gone past his account.
39:12The life, the vibrancy, the colour.
39:15It wasn't all pleasant.
39:17It doesn't really feel real that we're in India on a tuk-tuk.
39:20I feel like this is a bit like a movie scene.
39:23India's gonna be full of surprises.
39:25But it made you feel so alive and part of it.
39:27Oh, there's an elephant being ridden!
39:29Oh, my God!
39:30Holy shit!
39:31No way!
39:32Oh, my God!
39:33Oh, my God!
39:34Oh, my God!
39:35Oh, my God!
39:37Teams that travelled beyond the cities
39:41saw another side to India.
39:43India is so diverse.
39:46I didn't realise that India had a jungle.
39:49It had the sea and the mountain ranges.
39:52It was cold in the north and warm in the south.
39:55And it was so vast.
39:58It just had every landscape available.
40:01It blew my mind.
40:03I'm just in my own little world here,
40:05yet in the most enormous expanse.
40:09India was the furthest thing you could get away from home life,
40:12and yet just so fantastic in its own way.
40:15Wow!
40:16I can't believe we're under the tree where Buddha himself sat.
40:21It does feel special.
40:22I want to meditate on it and just let go of a lot of life things.
40:25Let go, start afresh.
40:29Going to the birthplace of Buddha,
40:32just seeing how people across India,
40:35like, travel to this one space and to practise, like, spirituality,
40:39just really opened my eyes.
40:41And then after, like, I just embraced it all.
40:46It looks like a picture, you know?
40:49It looks like a cape.
40:53Sisters Elizabeth and Letitia had drifted apart
40:57and were looking to rebuild a relationship.
41:00Would you like a Taj Mahal built for you?
41:02Me?
41:03Yeah.
41:04No, it's a bit of a good idea.
41:06I think I know what you wouldn't want,
41:08I just don't know what you do want.
41:09Going into the race, I think we definitely wanted to bond with each other
41:10because I felt like I'd missed from teenage years to adulthood.
41:27And I felt like I was still seeing you as a child, almost.
41:31Yeah.
41:32Yeah, I definitely felt that.
41:35Like, when you came back, the way you thought of me
41:37was completely different to how I was.
41:40Throughout the race, our communication just got so much better.
41:44And that was something that, like, I had longed for for so long.
41:48We want to go to Howardgar.
41:54That's good.
41:55Your confidence gave me confidence.
42:00Okay, haha.
42:01Wow, this is the spirit.
42:03So we have definitely become a lot more comfortable with each other.
42:07Oh, we're bickering a lot more, but I think that it's healthy.
42:20Racing across the world.
42:23We're not scared of offending each other as much, maybe.
42:27You're a lot more annoying than I thought you were.
42:30Yeah.
42:31Same with you, actually.
42:34Look how freeing that is for you.
42:35Like, yes, I've said it!
42:37Like...
42:43You clearly love each other.
42:44I can hear the admiration for each of you having gone through the journey.
42:48And you can see that being repaired in front of our eyes.
42:51You should be proud of yourselves in more ways than one.
42:53You've achieved something that not many people have done anyway.
42:56And look at you now.
42:58We're proud of you.
43:00Very nice.
43:02Along their journey, the sisters connected with local families in many homestays.
43:07Okay.
43:08So now you need to cover it.
43:09Need to cover?
43:10Yeah.
43:11Put it back, basically.
43:12And have taken that inspiration into a new family endeavour.
43:16In Cheyenne village, this is a couple that left the big city to go for a more rural lifestyle.
43:22They've planted so many trees.
43:24It felt, like, rewarding to be a part of that.
43:27One more, one more.
43:28Yeah.
43:29Okay.
43:31Okay.
43:32Oh, my gosh.
43:33This is so nice.
43:34This kind of reminds me of Kenya, though, isn't it?
43:37After rice, we went straight off to Kenya.
43:40Our dad has, like, a piece of land, and he's always dreamt of building the homestay to retire and to stay there.
43:48Working in the homestay, seeing how they're living off the land, just made us think about what we'd want to do in Kenya.
43:54Seeing how people are doing it gave me more of a push.
44:01We are going to build a homestay in Kenya.
44:04Yeah!
44:06Coming out of the race, I have gained, like, a new confidence.
44:09Now I'm not so scared to fail.
44:13And although it was hard and we pushed ourselves, I'm proud of us.
44:18And I'm excited for the future.
44:20Mm-hmm.
44:26The team's learnt much from the race.
44:28But at the heart, the desire to get a step ahead of their competition was their driving force.
44:35Come on, oldie.
44:38Reception?
44:39Well done, Thomas. Come on, keep going.
44:40500.
44:41Good lad.
44:43Go, go, go, go, go.
44:45We're both competitive people, and to turn around and say that we didn't set out to win would be nonsense.
44:50Yeah, yeah, exactly.
44:51I think Brian was a bit more competitive than Melvin. That's how it came out.
44:56If Brian was taking the lead, and I thought we were doing the wrong thing, I'd say something.
45:01It didn't happen, though, did it?
45:05I remember you guys saying that you spent, like, most of your money.
45:09Yeah, I remember that as well.
45:10I remember that as well.
45:11We're good. We've got so much money left.
45:13Yeah.
45:14We did tell a few porky pies.
45:15No, we did.
45:16We did.
45:17We did.
45:19I think it was when we saw you guys on the luxury bus, we were like, what?
45:23I think it's important to take that.
45:26Brian and Melvin are living the luxury life.
45:30The exclusively luxurious life.
45:33That's why they're spending money.
45:35Well, maybe we should start spending money.
45:37The other teams would come into the checkpoint and they'd say, well, how do you think you're doing?
45:41And we'd say, God, that was an expensive leg.
45:44The first two nights, we were over 600 yen that we'd spent.
45:49Oh, we were?
45:51Don't tell them that.
45:52We were?
45:53It's very nice and comforting to know we're not alone, to be honest.
45:57We're lucky to be able to eat.
46:02We've only got 15% left, haven't we?
46:05What?
46:06Letitia still believes, I can pull her leg any time, can't I?
46:13We all told lies, didn't we?
46:15About how much money?
46:16Oh, I didn't.
46:17It was just you.
46:18It was just you.
46:19So we were the only ones that were bullying?
46:21Yeah.
46:22Yeah.
46:23But then after checkpoints, seeing you, Caroline.
46:27Oh.
46:28You were so competitive, I loved it.
46:30It really pushed me on as well.
46:32You could tell that little glint that you were going to win.
46:35I remember the closer we got.
46:37I cared more about winning than actually starting to see the sights.
46:40And that really kind of took over towards the end.
46:42That's where we went wrong, mate.
46:45We did the opposite.
46:46We did the opposite.
46:47Because we then saw Finn and Sean Ed on the way in for the last run-in.
46:52Did you?
46:53And something there just then clicked.
46:56So frightening.
46:57We really did think we would.
47:00I know, but I want this so fast.
47:02I know, and I think we will.
47:03I think we will.
47:04I think we have a good shot.
47:05We haven't seen a single team.
47:06Do you not think running back over there...
47:08We would have cost someone again.
47:09We would have cost someone.
47:10Whoa!
47:11Oh, my.
47:12It's so competitive.
47:15We definitely went in it to win it.
47:17We were kind of telling ourselves, weren't we, that we were in it for the experience,
47:22but in the back of our minds, we were just like, yeah, we need to win.
47:25Chop, chop.
47:26Calm down.
47:27Enjoy it.
47:28Now I want to win.
47:29I think we have a good chance of winning.
47:30I think we have a decent chance of winning.
47:31Oh, my gosh, go.
47:32Go!
47:33I was gutted when I opened it, I'm not going to lie.
47:34I don't know if I showed you my face or not.
47:35Five.
47:36Oh, my God.
47:37No.
47:38No.
47:39Wow.
47:40We're all so close.
47:41No.
47:42Oh, no.
47:43At the start, every checkpoint, we would just try so much, and I think that's where we
48:05definitely saw our competitive side.
48:07Race mode is on.
48:09It was such a lovely thing to see, the first place.
48:14What?
48:17Wow.
48:20I think after that, we were chasing that feeling again.
48:23What?
48:24Should we get on here?
48:26Come on, just rest when we get there.
48:28I was in it to win it from the get-go.
48:31I met many failures along the way, and a lot of self-doubt crept in, but I still wanted
48:36to win it.
48:37Thank you for doing this with me.
48:39Thank you for doing this with me.
48:41The fact we get together is pretty good, so we'll be all right.
48:45We'll make sure we're okay.
48:46With limited travel experience and a desire to see the world, Caroline embarked on the race
48:53with her son, Tom.
48:55I've tucked my trousers into my socks.
48:56I've got plastic shoes on.
48:57I've never seen you happier.
48:58I don't know what's going on.
48:59I don't know if you're drunk or...
49:00I wish.
49:01I feel alive, Thomas.
49:02Does that make sense?
49:03That's really nice.
49:04You start to get old.
49:05Meant to be slowing down.
49:06I feel there's challenges.
49:07I feel there's adventure out there that I can do as well.
49:08It's great.
49:09To begin with, I wanted to go on the race and seem to drag you along with me.
49:25Yeah.
49:26And it ended up being both of us doing it in parallel as such.
49:29Mum!
49:30Oh, God.
49:38I made it!
49:39Oh, my God.
49:40You could have just gone to the bottom and then come back out.
49:43Are you okay?
49:44Where's the funny cat?
49:45You idiot.
49:46Where's the small bag?
49:47Have you not got it?
49:48No.
49:49You're such a...
49:51Oh, Mum.
49:53That's good.
49:54That's good.
49:55Miss.
49:56What?
49:57You miss.
49:58Every time they laugh, it's you missing.
50:00It's definitely endurance race across the world.
50:07I came on to race not knowing that I needed to learn stuff about myself.
50:11I think I needed to, but I just didn't really...
50:14Know that you needed to.
50:15Yeah.
50:16I don't think I really realised.
50:17Maybe I was just a bit too young and arrogant.
50:19I just thought, no, I'm perfect.
50:21I don't need to do that.
50:23But I think...
50:24Mum keeps telling.
50:30Can I do left?
50:31Oh.
50:32Oh.
50:33I was born with cerebral palsy.
50:35That's fine.
50:36You're getting the hang of it.
50:37I think so.
50:38It was quite a revelation.
50:40He actually came out and said to a total stranger, I've got cerebral palsy.
50:45He seems to be more mature.
50:47I'm really proud of him.
50:49I might get into carpet making at home.
50:51I was always worried that people would judge me and see me as different.
50:56And I've always semi-been worried that that's going to kind of hold me back in life and also
51:01being able to travel around the world without a phone and just using a bit of common sense
51:07and people skills has really shown me that you don't just need to be academic to achieve.
51:13You can also achieve through many other ways.
51:15It doesn't mean you're not smart, mate.
51:17I'm very nervous to try and not break one because I can imagine they're very brittle.
51:21Being a labourer on a building site to do their job.
51:24That means you are actually a hard worker.
51:26I prefer being outside and working like with my hands rather than in an office or...
51:31Yeah, that's true.
51:32Probably similar to everyone in this village.
51:34For me, my hobby comes in my job.
51:36That's what I'm looking to find, hopefully one day.
51:39Since I've been back, I've gone kind of the more self-employed route.
51:44And it's really challenging.
51:47It's going really well.
51:48I mean, it's scary sometimes.
51:50But I think from race, I've learnt that you always make mistakes.
51:54But there's normally a way around it.
51:56One thing I've realised is I'm a very messy worker.
52:00But that's okay.
52:02It's just given me a hell of a lot more belief in myself to know that if I want to try and do something,
52:07I can achieve if I try hard enough.
52:10And Tom wasn't alone in his boost of confidence.
52:13Caroline also blossomed.
52:20Thank you. Yes, good. Thank you.
52:26Thank you for being so friendly.
52:29I really feel that I changed.
52:32It's a bit like the British stiff upper lip.
52:36The way you have to present the dignity.
52:39Perhaps that's part of my generation.
52:40I have never been anywhere like this in my whole life.
52:42I wish I'd done it when I was younger.
52:44And I felt more carefree.
52:47And I could just enjoy the moment and immerse in it.
52:50And I felt like I belonged.
52:51And I was in charge of my own destiny rather than it being predetermined for me just to slow down.
52:57I do think mum really grew and she got more confident.
53:03We could see your mum grow.
53:05I realised it was something that mum needed to do.
53:08And I knew it would be so beneficial for her.
53:12And it has been.
53:13What would you be doing though if you hadn't gone on race?
53:17Just having something for me to do is now at the forefront rather than feeling I've just been shelved and I'm not important anymore.
53:25Did you find more of an identity about yourself and really get comfortable with yourself?
53:30Yes. I found a lot of confidence.
53:31I'm not frightened of failure.
53:33Whereas before I was frightened to try.
53:39I remember how well me and mum got on, how fun she is and just how much you love her.
53:43I appreciate these times and these memories because there will be a time that I can't.
53:49This to me is winning.
53:51No amount of money can make me realise all of this.
53:57It was absolutely lovely, thank you.
53:59That's the biggest thing that I think has changed is that I see you more as an actual person now rather than just my mum who's there to help me out.
54:12We now go and get coffee and chat about, like, serious stuff and actually have a good conversation, you know?
54:18Instead of saying, oh mum, can you wash these pants?
54:26The pair not only developed as people, but honed the race strategy too.
54:31It's alright.
54:3226 hours after the first game.
54:34And with sheer grit and determination, they climbed from last to top.
54:39It's okay.
54:40It's okay.
54:41It's okay.
54:42I still remember coming in last at the first checkpoint as an overwhelming feeling of failure.
54:51In front of myself.
54:55Gutted.
54:56I suppose it has really, really reinforced the fact that you just keep plodding on.
55:01And just because you've had a setback doesn't mean you can't improve and you can't eventually achieve.
55:06And I didn't think you'd ever have to see me at that point.
55:09Oh yeah.
55:10Let's do it.
55:12And I thought he still loves me and believes in me.
55:15So I just have to pick myself up and carry on.
55:19Come on.
55:20Thomas, come on.
55:22Bye, darling.
55:24Seeing mum so upset at the end of leg one was kind of a real catalyst for wanting to do better.
55:32Come on.
55:33Come on.
55:34Come on.
55:35Come on.
55:36Come on.
55:37Come on.
55:38Come on.
55:39Come on.
55:40Come on.
55:41Come on.
55:42Come on.
55:43Oh my God.
55:44I thought I am not going to give up on him and I'm not going to give up on us no matter
55:47what.
55:49And that in itself gave rise to more determination and an inner strength.
55:56And then we went and bloody won.
55:58There you go.
55:59There you go.
56:00There you go.
56:02Oh yeah.
56:03Almost done with luck.
56:05Oh my God.
56:07I was not surprised Tom and Caroline won it.
56:23I'm not surprised at all.
56:24Yeah, they deserve to win it at the end of the day.
56:27We're really pleased.
56:28Mum wants a challenge, so I feel like going somewhere like Kazakhstan,
56:32where I've never met anybody who's travelled there,
56:34would just be brilliant.
56:35It's the complete unexpected,
56:37and I just think something amazing would come from it.
56:40Make sure you take your phone, though.
56:41LAUGHTER
56:43It sounds from round the table,
56:45everyone has had their relationship struggles or personal struggles,
56:49but actually, I'm hearing from every single person
56:51so much positivity coming out of the race
56:53and the changes that we've all made to move forward.
56:57It's really lovely to hear.
56:59It makes me feel really warm and feel quite proud.
57:01We've all gone on that sort of, like, similar journey.
57:03I think we all have... You took it by the balls.
57:05All achieved so much. So much.
57:09Ta-da!
57:13You're wonderful. Thank you, sir.
57:17Very lively place, isn't it?
57:20Work on my house.
57:21Oh, thank you.
57:22Oh, thank you, Mum.
57:24Oh, my God, look at it.
57:26Look at it.
57:27Thomas, this is amazing.
57:28Oh, my God, this is so high.
57:31Come on!
57:33Any minute, I'm going to get run over by a motorbike.
57:34Run over by a motorbike.
57:37It's been more than just the distance.
57:39It's been a journey for us.
57:42It's just as important...
57:44I'm in!
57:45..that you enjoy the journey...
57:46..as much as you enjoy the destination.
57:48CHEASE JANE
57:52Cheers, everybody!
57:53CHEERS, CHEERS
57:54CHEERS, GUYS!
57:55CHEERS!
57:55CHEERS, CHEERS蛋
57:56Hey, everybody.
58:26Hey, everybody.
