Join us for our rescheduled masterclass with Studio Lambert on Monday 20th April 2026, where we’ll be joined by the award-winning team behind Race Across The World, one of the BBC’s most ambitious and inspiring factual entertainment series.
We’ll be welcoming a cross-team panel from Studio Lambert, the powerhouse production company behind Race Across The World, The Traitors and Squid Game: The Challenge for Netflix. The panel will take us behind the scenes of Race Across The World to uncover how the show’s unique mix of adventure, emotion and storytelling comes to life, from casting real people with extraordinary connections, to filming under pressure across continents, to bringing the entire series together in the edit.
