 Nine contestants travel to eleven different countries where they face challenges suggested by members of the public through the show's website.
+<!--- SYNOPSIS OF EPISODE 1:
+The first programme in the 12-week series shows how they have been prepared for their round-the-world trip. They will be put through their paces and do everything from raft building to karaoke before being put into their teams.
+The teams have a strictly controlled weekly allowance and will log on for their first destinations and E-Missions. Each team will travel in a different direction around the world and they will be together for the next 11 weeks.
+The team with the most points earned from successfully completing E-Missions in their 11 destinations will return to the UK to win the prize of a lifetime.
+Each team will be armed with a video camera, laptop computer and mobile phone. They will post regular diaries on the Global E-Missions website and the editing facility on their laptops will also enable them to produce short video reports.
+SYNOPSIS OF EPISODE 7:
+As the destinations get ever more exotic, the E-Missions get that much harder. The teams discover the enormity of the task when they land in Dubai, Ho Chi Minh City and Montego Bay to complete their new set of challenges.
+The Green Team are challenged to go camel riding or dune buggying to locate a perfect site for a desert party. They must take a water taxi to a souk to collect sufficient items to set up a fancy dress party in the desert for 50 people. The team must dress as an Eskimo, a frogman and a penguin and build an igloo in the sand dunes. The mission is complete when all three of them crawl into the igloo with the party in full swing around them.
+In Ho Chi Minh city, the Blue Team must barter for live snakes at Ben Thanh Market, take them to be prepared and cooked by a local chef at his or her establishment before getting a local family and the chef to join in a 'British Night' at a Bia Hoi bar to include a least four of the following - darts, Twister, musical chairs, skittles, pass the parcel or pin the tail on the pot-bellied pig.
+In Montego Bay, the Red Team needs to find a real celebrity and get them to show how they spend a typical week. This should include all their best loved haunts and pastimes to include, but not confined to, their favourite beach, restaurant, club/bar and sport. They must go on a tour of their home, see them cooking their favourite dish, meet their favourite local band and round it off with a night out.
+SYNOPSIS OF EPISODE 12:
+At far flung corners of the Earth, the Global E-Missionaries face their final tests, and viewers will tonight find out who has won the amazing 11-week contest.
+The Red Team are in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, where they must race around the city, using five different forms of transport, to at least 12 sights of Rio, including one floorshow, one market, one food establishment and on bar or nightclub.
+The Green's last mission is in Cape Town, South Africa, where they are challenged to find a local stripper and get her to show them what she loves most about Cape Town and how she spends a typical week. This should include her favourite nightclub, restaurant, day out, view, shopping experience and sporting event. The mission is complete when they help the artiste prepare backstage for her performance.
+The Blue Team are in Wellington, New Zealand, for fashion week and must 'strut their stuff' on the catwalk. They must get together with a designer and their models and persuade them to invite one of them behind the scenes, where they must learn how to be a model. The mission is complete when at least two members of the team appear on the catwalk at a public show wearing some of the designers' collection.
