Race Across the World
I stumbled on this programme by accident halfway through. I assumed it was the usual lot of Z list celebs farting about the place, but no, it's really very good, with 5 teams of two people of all ages, trying to get from Mexico City to the bottom of South America. They only have so much money each, and can only take buses, trains or ferries to get to the destination first. I enjoyed it so much, that I went on BBC i player to catch it from the beginning.There was also a series one previously, going from London to Singapore, also available on i Player. I've just finished that one last night! There are two episodes left, on this Sunday BBC2 9 pm, it's 8 of 9. Worth checking out from the beginning.

Although I think all the couples are so brave and likeable I was really surprised and impressed at the compassion and friendliness of the two Muslim lads.
It just makes you realise how friendly people generally are. They have received help and friendship far beyond what I would have expected. I guess I've been watching too many films and watching too much news. They will remember their experiences and the bonds made with the other competitors for the rest of their lives.
I hope there will be another series soon.....

Unfortunately Mrs Foxes knee is shot so I'd have to choose another partner....
I've had a think...
And I'm going to see if Holly Willoughby is busy...
