Race Across the World

Channel: BBC Earth (DStv 184)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Reality Competition, Adventure, Travel

Race Across the World

If you were tasked to race across the world with limited cash and nothing in the way of modern technology, how do you think you'd fare?

This series will see five teams attempt just that.

Race Across The World takes you on the trip of a lifetime, following the contestants as they embark on an epic and adrenaline-fuelled adventure, travelling into the unknown without the trappings of modern life.

The five pairs set off on a race to Singapore without taking a single flight, leaving behind their smartphones, internet access and credit cards.

They are armed with only the cash equivalent of a one-way airfare to Singapore, the furthest destination by land and rail from the UK, to pay for the entire journey.

If they run out, they'll need to earn more.

In a competition that sees the teams travel through rather than fly over, their skill, ingenuity and determination will be tested to the extreme as they race through some of the world's most beautiful scenery, form bonds and friendships across cultural divides and rely on the kindness of strangers in order to stand the best chance of winning.

Dear White People: Vol. 3

Set against the backdrop of a predominantly white Ivy League university where racial tensions bubble just below the surface, Dear White People is a send-up of "post-racial" America that weaves together the universal story of finding one's own identity and forging a wholly unique path.

The satirical series - which picks up where the 2014 film by the same name left off – follows a group of Winchester University's students of colour as they navigate a diverse landscape of social injustice, cultural bias, political correctness (or lack thereof) and sometimes misguided activism in the millennial age.

This season, as the students of Winchester embrace new creative challenges and romantic possibilities, a charismatic professor shakes up life on campus.

New relationships, new secrets, new guest stars: Yvette Nicole Brown, Laverne Cox, Blair Underwood, Flava Flav and more are coming to Winchester in Volume 3.

Alone Together 2

Bddy comedy Alone Together returns for its 10-episode second (and final) season which will continue to follow the platonic, dysfunctional co-dependent, best friendship of series executive producers, stars and writers Esther Povitsky and Benji Aflalo.

Despite their sometimes contentious relationship, when push comes to shove, Esther and Benji have each other's back... and they have nobody else to hang out with.

In Season 2, their odd friendship continues to baffle everyone around them, as they continue to find their place in Los Angeles, juggling odd jobs, their love lives, and aspirations of social status.

Joining the cast as guest stars in Season 2 are Fran Drescher (The Nanny) as Mary, Esther's perfectly coiffed, tastefully made up, Mom; and Carmen Electra (Baywatch) as Tia, a beautiful and mysterious woman who seduces Benji.
