Race Across The World, a new six-part series for BBC Two, will pit pairs of travellers against each other in a race to reach the Far East without taking a single flight, with no smartphone in sight. Each contestant will only have the cash equivalent of an air fare to their destination to pay for their overland travel. If they run out, they'll need to earn more. Setting out on the adventure of a lifetime, the couples will hit the open road using whatever mode of transport they can - from trains to pickup trucks, from ferries to tuk-tuks - crossing continents and experiencing travel the way we once used to. And the race is on to reach the finish line in the fastest time, making best use of their money - and strategy - to win a cash prize. This flightless race will allow the teams time to savour some of the world’s most beautiful and astonishing scenery, which the modern-day traveller seldom gets to see. Each couple has their own personal motivation for taking part in this once-in-a-lifetime experience, immersing themselves in different cultures, forming bonds and friendships across cultural divides and relying on the kindness of strangers in order to stand the best chance of winning the competition.

白金汉宫(Buckingham Palace),英国的王宫。建造在威斯敏斯特城内,位于伦敦詹姆士公园的西边,1703年为白金汉公爵所建而得名,最早称白金汉屋,意思是“他人的家”。 温莎城堡(Windsor Castle),位于英国英格兰东南部,是世界上有人居住的城堡中最大的一个,也是英国君主主要的行政官邸。现任的英国女王伊丽莎白二世每年有相当多的时间在温莎城堡度过,在这里进行国家或是私人的娱乐活动。 圣十字架宫(Holyrood Palace),1498年詹姆斯五世所建,原为修道院,后来成为苏格兰王室的宫殿,目前仍是英国女王来到苏格兰的住所。像白金汉宫等王宫一样,每当女王住在这里的时候,宫中就会升起王室旗帜。宫殿左手边是面积广袤的圣十字架公园。圣十字架宫与爱丁堡城堡是爱丁堡建城的两个中心点,以皇家英里大道连接。(人人影视)
