Channel 4s nye sunne og oppløftende show Worlds Apart er i ferd med å ta over alle livene våre.
Serien skal følge 12 voksne, seks ungdommer som aldri har reist alene før og seks pensjonister som trodde de kanskje aldri ville reise igjen. Hver ungdom vil bli sammenkoblet med en pensjonist for å jage ledetråder i en enorm skattejakt over Japan.
Med deltakerne i alderen fra 18 til 80 år, har showet en eklektisk serie av tenåringer som nettopp har startet sitt voksne liv og pensjonister som ønsker å avvikle sine gylne år i komfort.
Med en pengepremie å vinne, må de legge til side eventuelle generasjonsforskjeller for å kunne jobbe sammen og bli det første laget som krysser målstreken.
Mens vi venter på at den nye serien skal begynne neste uke, la oss ta en titt på hele besetningen av konkurranser for Channel 4s Worlds Apart.

Aaron, who is originally from Blackpool, is described by his friends as funny, resilient, and trustworthy, all hallmarks of a brilliant travel partner. However, travel has been rare for him, I’ve only been abroad once and that was to Spain, with my mum, he says, but he’s open to new experiences, even if raw fish in Japan does scare him.
Livet har ikke alltid vært lett for Aaron, etter å ha gått ut av det lokale omsorgshjemmet for under 18 år der han bodde, står han nå overfor utsiktene til hjemløshet. Hvis han vinner, håper han å bruke premiepengene på å finne en egen leilighet, ta kjøretimer og reise på gutteferie.
