Viewers watched with bated breath as Welsh contestant Cathie and her best friend Tricia's travel plans went slightly awry during the latest episode of Race Against The World. The hit series continued on BBC 1 on Wednesday, April 12 - and viewers were on the edge of their seats as the pair's journey was "touch and go" for quite some time.
The third series of the show sees five pairs, a mixture of couples, father and daughter duos and best friends, race each other to different destinations in Canada in a bid to win £20,000 - a challenge made all the more difficult by each pair's limited budget and programme rules which forbid the use of mobile phones or any set plans or prebooked travel tickets.
And for best friends Tricia and Cathie - who last week were praised by viewers for their heart warming dynamic - this week's route from Banff to Churchill was anything but smooth! The only direct public transit between the cities was a twice-weekly train - with times that really didn't suit the fast-paced race - and unfortunately the pair missed several buses, sometimes by just a few minutes. Ultimately, they were forced to fork out $500 for a taxi from one city to the next - the most they've spent in one-go throughout the entire process so far.
