I wonder if Billy will make it to the end, cos his legs seem to be causing him significant issues understandably.

I hope he does cause the pair have been great to watch

It says it's on discovery plus, which has been folded into Max hasn't it? Or it looks like it might be on prime, or use a VPN to watch on BBC Iplayer.

Route is apparently Japan to Indonesia

It does feel soon but it's been a year (celebrity padded the gap though)
OP

I think you may have to go the VPN route. I subscribed to Discovery Plus to continue watching but it seems to have been removed a few months ago and when I try on Prime it says unavailable in your country (US). I could try Max though. I did not check there.
This is another fun one to try and work out the actual route they're taking, like the celebrity series, because as the crow flies Japan to Indonesia is pretty direct. It's across the Philippine Sea then a short hop from the Philippines.
But I'm guessing they're going to have to go inland for something like this? So something like Japan, South Korea, China, Myanmar or Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia?

Yes. That's why series 3 was the least good series, everyone spoke English and it was a little too easy.

There is a poor quality trailer on YouTube

Reminder of the difference between this and the greatest race
No bank cards
No Phones
No flights unless there's an emergency preventing travel by land

They're gonna interact with far more countries and cultures, which is very cool.
I can already tell the young lads are gonna wind me up a little bit though. They seem EXACTLY like the sort of lads I interact with everyday at work, right down to being loaded enough to qualify as a pilot by age 20.

It's 2023 (this was last year presumably) and British people are still doing Fawlty towers style charades to try and communicate with people in foreign countries.
both mum and daughter teams are already my favourites. Both relatively humble, absorbing a bit of the local cuilture and getting stuck in.
If they're not editing the two boys to create a 'journey' of calm the fuck down of the racey one then they're going to get on my nerves very quickly
It does feel rushed though - there was a quick clip of Osaka but I don't remember any of them being shown heading that way. There are only 5 teams to track so it should be possible to give a clearer 'trail' of the movements. Assume they'll be out of Japan already next week

I like all the teams, except for the welsh couple. I appreciate maybe they haven't traveled abroad much, but they acted quite silly.

Are they not allowed to replace the map they lost? Surely they could find a book shop or something to replace it.

It's a similar concept, but the differences are
No credit cards
No flights
No mobile phones or electronic devices.

There are (I think they're called?) Detours and Roadblocks in The Amazing Race you have to stop at along the way, as well as the actual destination. When you get there, you get a choice of two tasks and can't move on until you complete it. Could be a physical challenge or something fear based or like a memory/intelligence game related to the place you're at. Roadblocks can only be done by one member of the team, and you normally don't know the exact nature of the task until you get there and pick the participant. Since they're really emphasising the race aspect, it's entirely possible to get held up by a challenge for ages, finish last then get eliminated.
I think I've got that right? It's definitely much more gameshow style because of it than Race Across the World. Like, exploring the place you're at or taking time out to work for more cash is nowhere near as important as just powering through it.

That makes it sound a bit silly imo. Maybe it comes off better in the actual show.

Looks like it's Vietnam to Phnom Penh in Cambodia, skipping China entirely.
BBC One - Race Across the World, Series 4, Episode 3
The teams enter south east Asia, starting the third leg from the Vietnamese capital Hanoi.
Shame that. Would have thought the big cities in China and Hong Kong itself would have been on the table.

Just trying this show out...we are a bit confused as to why they stop sometimes to explore rather than race / keep moving as fast as possible. I know it would make more of a travel show to stop and admire views and experiences, but I just don't get then why it's called a race when they don't seem too fused about moving all the time? Is there some sort of rule that they have to stop at some times of the day?
