LOST!


Blindfolded and abandoned somewhere in the world: 3 teams race to get home from remote locations with just $100 in their pockets.

Imagine a long journey in the dark. Your eyes are blind-folded. You‘ve been travelling for hours. You have no idea where you are being taken. All you know is that you are about to be abandoned somewhere on the planet. It could be Malawi, Mexico or Martinique. This is not a bad dream… This is LOST!

The idea is simple: three teams set out from the middle of nowhere to race each other home. The challenge is far from simple: each contestant has only $100 and three days rations to survive the long journey back.

They are three thousand miles away from their final destination:  Nelson’s column in London.  Their first problem is finding out where on Earth they are. On a remote island close to the Arctic Circle, a deserted lighthouse yields clues. Even when they track down a local they’ve still got to get over the language barrier. To escape the drop zone they must beg, borrow and blag their way out of trouble. In Timbuktu the locals find it hard to believe they have no money.

There’s no room for wimps on this race. This is hardcore travel. Lost! is an endurance test which ends with no sleep, no food and no money. But the prospect of winning drives them on. Victory at Trafalgar promises undiluted ecstasy.
