Race Across The World Returns with Narration by Star John Hannah

The BBC's popular adventure reality series 'Race Across The World' has returned for its fifth season, following five teams as they race over 14,000 kilometers from the Great Wall of China through Nepal and India to Kanniyakumari, using only limited cash and no smartphones or bank cards. Competing pairs include sisters, ex-spouses, brothers, a teenage couple, and a mother-son duo, all vying for a £20,000 prize. Notably, the show is narrated by Scottish actor John Hannah, known for his roles in major '90s films like 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' and 'Sliding Doors.' Many viewers were initially unaware of Hannah's involvement, with some mistaking his Scottish accent for Ewan McGregor's, but fans have since taken to social media to praise his distinctive narration. Hannah's commentary has been widely credited for enhancing the show's appeal and atmosphere. His longstanding acting career and recognizable voice have become a celebrated part of the series' identity.
