Series Finale: Hosted by Tom Bridge — BBC Race Across the World 2025 Winner
In this special end-of-series episode, the microphones are turned around.
Tom Bridge - joint winner of BBC’s Race Across the World 2025 with his mum Caroline - steps into the host’s seat and takes us on a brilliant, funny and reflective journey through our first series of Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained.
It’s light-hearted, honest, surprising, and packed with moments that reveal just how much we’ve learned (and unlearned!) since episode one.
We talk about:
Movember Special — Will & Charlie
We open the episode with Will Plows, who shares his powerful and deeply personal story — and his incredible decision to take on an IRONMAN for Movember, raising awareness and funds after losing his uncle and nearly losing his dad.
And we close with a message from Charlie, Rebecca's son, who is also raising money for this great cause. He reminds us why Movember matters and why supporting even one person can make a difference.
