I have been waiting for this show to start, it was on bbc1 at 9 00 pm last night. The race started in China near the Great wall, 5 teams racing across China, the finish line is in India. They have to travel on a budget only using public transport, but no planes involved. A great watch and places to see.

I am going for the 2 young girls, they have great knowledge of different language to get by Dave. Great show I must say.

The 2 old fellows just make me laugh,
The young couple are just so naive. I think she is better off in her little Welsh village and I thought she was going to jack it in at one point.
Cant say I Iike the younger one of the 2 young girls very much - got a bit of a chip on her shoulder.
My money is on the lad with mild cerebal-pausy and his mum. The lad is well motivated anyway but mum is a real driving force. Agree, its a great show and great to see different parts of the world - warts an all !!!

I would love the mother and son to win Dave, it will be down to timing travel to reach the final place. But it can change by the minute, that what makes the show so good.

Good one last night Devo. The way they edit the program adds to the intrigue as I really expected the 2 old fellas to be in the lead.
But looking good for mum an son tho theres nothing in it really. One mistake on the last leg and any one of the teams could win.

Yes Dave a great bit work done to throw us off the first to arrive, all to play for now. And no slip ups, I do hope mother and son wins. But its going to be tight. so sad to her about Sam,
He was in a show a while back with his Mother.
