World of thrills in race finale

IT’S anyone’s Race Across The World as the four remaining teams end their 8,700-mile trek from the Great Wall of China and Nepal to India.

The pairs are seen tonight on the seventh and final leg of the BBC1 series, in which they cannot take planes or have smartphones, credit cards or internet.

Current leaders, mum and son Tom and Caroline Bridge, are seen as the biggest threat to the title and the £20,000 prize money.

Brothers Brian and Melvyn Mole have always been wary of Caroline, who fears she has missed out on life by being a housewife.

Financial adviser Brian, 62, said: “If you enter something like this, you enter to win. She had a glint in her eye from about leg two and I thought, ‘Crumbs, this girl is out to win this’.
