BBC One - Race Across the World, Series 2, Revealed

The five teams reunite to reveal fascinating insights into their experiences.

The five teams reunite for the first time to reveal fascinating insights into their different strategies and individual experiences - from their highest highs to their lowest lows.

Over 54 days, five pairs of ordinary Brits took on the challenge of a lifetime and attempted to travel the entire length of Latin America, from Mexico City to Ushuaia, Argentina, the most southerly city in the world, with no planes, no credit cards and no smartphones in sight. They came across extreme weather, states of emergency, evacuations and challenging budgets, as well as life-changing encounters, incredible acts of generosity and dramatic landscapes. Most of all, they had to survive each other.

The race may be over but the drama is still unfolding as all five teams reunite for the first time to reveal fascinating insights into their different strategies and individual experiences - from their highest highs to their lowest lows, from money woes to emotional breakdowns, from the hardships of travel to the kindness of strangers, the emotional breakdowns and moments of self-discovery. The confessions continue as they reveal their first impressions of each other and how these changed as the competition between them grew fiercer. Has the unbreakable bond they formed as a group held strong after the race?  Or have old rivalries re-emerged? What has happened since returning to the UK? One thing is certain – the lives of all who took part have been changed for good. 

A truly unique, captivating, behind-the-scenes look into how these intrepid travellers coped with the trials and tribulations of this incredible, life-affirming race – along with some surprising revelations.
