Race Across the World

(TV Show – 6 episodes of 60min – 2019)


Race Across the World is a British television programme, made by Studio Lambert, which sees five pairs of travellers participate in an epic race that will take them through many countries. However, there is a catch, the pairs cannot take planes, must leave behind their smartphones and credit cards, and will not have access to the internet. Provided only with the cash equivalent of their airfare from their starting destination to the finishing line, they must find innovative ways to manage their budget and conduct their journey. If they run out of money, they must earn some more to continue the journey. The duos must also pass through five checkpoints along the way. The programme is broadcast on BBC Two and narrated by John Hannah.

Hanuman Films arranged all the logistics in Cambodia for this epic reality adventure show. Movements and timings were very unpredictable as this was a real-time race where contestants experienced changes and setbacks along the way. Our team coordinated the arrival and departure of multiple teams at different border crossings with Vietnam and Thailand, as well as arranging everything from Filming Permissions, Fixers and Accommodation along the way.
