SBW Meets: Brian & Melvyn (Race Across The World)

Steve Bloomer's Washing

In the first of our post-season podcasts, Chris and Tom chat to Brian and Melvyn Mole, the Swadlincote-born brothers - and diehard Derby fans - who won millions of admirers with their globe-trotting stint on BBC One's 'Race Across The World'.

The duo, who spread the word about DCFC all the way to India in one of many hilarious moments from their appearance on the hit BBC show, told Chris and Tom about their Derbyshire upbringing, and watching the Rams from the Normanton End at the Baseball Ground in the 1970s as kids, when the Rams were champions of England.

We also asked Brian and Mel for some insider knowledge of how the show works, how they were cast - and which Derby players past and present they think would make the best 'Race' contestants. A must listen for any Rams fans who also watched RATW!
