...talented actors and best friends, Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman who share a passion for motorbikes, and decided to bike across the world- the long way round in 115 days. They originally set out to make the journey just as something to do; a personal challenge to each of them, and just to see if they could do it. It was also a chance for Ewan to take a break from acting. Then they decided that they may as well document it! They had cameras on ...
...as I am a massive Ewan fan, and I was fascinated by what they were doing. So imagine how delighted I was when I came home one day to discover the DVD playing on my TV!! (thanks Dad!). And imagine how annoyed my boyfriend was when I insisted we watched it… But anyway, the DVD is a double disk set (2 disks in one DVD box) and is the entire series, plus some extras, and these extras include: ?

Advantages: Ewan Mcgregor, amazing scenery
Disadvantages: None.

...been a big fan of Ewan McGregor, and two Christmases I sat down and realised there was nothing on. I started to flick through the channels and found 'Long Way Round'. I wasn't a bit fan of documentaries back then, especially ones about motorbikes and going around the world, they used to bore me silly, but it was Ewan McGregor so I thought I'd give it a chance. It is probably the most fantastic piece of documentary that I've ever seen. The Plot ...
...travelling around the world with Ewan & Charley. In the big 4x4's were both of them, a couple more cameramen and a doctor. They would meet up at every border into every different country to talk about the trip and struggle to get through borders that not many people have travelled through before. After the trip was completed, Charley went on to complete The Road to Dakar which is one of the toughest races in the world. When he came home, they started ... Read review

Advantages: Entertaining
Disadvantages: Frequent & quite strong bad language

...storyline. If you are a Ewan Mc Gregor fan, that's a bonus, but I feel that this is incidental to the story. As a TV series, I tried not to miss an episode and even owning the DVD set, it's difficult to get tired of watching it. This series really stands out from a lot of contemporary rubbish. As a viewer, you feel informed by what you see, but never patronised. ' The Long Way Round' is available in book & DVD format, whichever you go for, I challenge ... Read review
