Race Across The World is an epic adventure for the pairs competing, but during their trip across Eastern Asia this series they'll have had to follow some pretty strict rules
It’s that time of year again – a brand new series of Race Across The World is back on our screens. Starting on BBC One on Wednesday, 10 April, the series will follow a whole new host of pairs, including a mother-daughter duo and a married couple in their 60s, as they travel 15,000km across Eastern Asia in a bid to win £20,000.
The line producer for the show, Maria Kennedy, told RadioTimes: "You get some really brave people out on the road for a couple of months . ‘Here are going to be the sticking points. This is quite tricky. This bit is amazing.'" But the budget is tight as it can vary from around £25 per day, which would need to cover travel costs, food and accommodation.
Food shortage As the cast members have to stick to a strict budget every day there's no room for luxury meals out or fancy cocktails in the sun. Cast are 'genuinely scared' Despite pitching up their tents in the middle of nowhere and getting up close with bears in Canada, the teams do not get any extra protection just because they're on TV.
According to reports, there are around six or seven people with each couple at all times to film the show and to capture every moment of their adventure.Apparently, those also following each pair include a local fixer and security adviser - but keep their distance to ensure the trip feels authentic.
