UK TV programmes to watch this week : 03/05/2025
Race Across the World (BBC 1/HD | 9:00pm to 10:00pm | Wednesday 7th May 2025) ** PICK OF THE WEEK **
In the third leg, the five pairs are challenged to race from the island checkpoint of Sanya to the mysterious Shangri-La, a city sitting on the edge of the Tibetan plateau towards the foothills of the Himalayas. As race leaders Elizabeth and Letitia check out, ex-married couple Yin and Gaz have only just made it in, having been stuck on the mainland unable to cross. With an almighty 44-hour gap between first and last place, Yin and Gaz know they have a mountain to climb to remain in the race, but are determined to come out for leg three fighting.
