Summary: The Coolest TV Show You May Have Missed
Comment: My family caught only a few episodes of Long Way Around when it first aired and then couldn't find it in the tv listings anymore. We loved it so much and were so disappointed when it wasn't aired in full in our area. Now finally the series has been released on DVD, plus their next show Long Way Down, and a bonus motorcycle show. This show combines two vibrant personalities (one is Ewan McGregor the famous actor), with a long and arduous motorcycle trip through interesting and rarely-seen lands. The people they meet along the way and the adventures they have keep the viewer hooked. Each episode seems to fly by and I'm always bummed out a little when I realize we've neared the end. I'm a 40-something female who was as fascinated by this show as my motorcycle-loving family.

Summary: If you like Adventure Motorcycling...This is THE series to buy
Comment: I watched all of these on the BBC...Always wanted to get the DVDs and when I saw I could buy the box set for what just one of the series went for before it was a no-brainer...Great motorcycling adventure.

Summary: Wow.....Another winning DvD
Comment: I had already watched "The Long Way Round" a few years ago back in UK and was eager to watch "The Long Way Down" as I am originally from Scotland and this adventure was starting in Scotland and ending in South Africa. I had tried to get the DvD from UK before it became available here, but was un-successful. When it did become available, I immediately ordered it. I wasn't dissapointed. I didn't think it was as good as the previous adventure but sequels never seem to live up to the same level as the originals. All in all, I loved seeing the countries Charlie and Ewan visited and I think that it was a very well produced, entertaining video.
Now, "The Race to Dakar" was a superb DvD. From start to finish, it was a nail-biting adventure. The riders in the rally deserve medals for putting up with all the hardship associated with the race. I had heard of the race when it was the "Paris-Dakar" but never fully understood the endurance required to finish the event. This DvD graphically depicted every day. I would recomend this Box Set to everyone.....Some "colorful language" for younger audiences but you could always turn the sound down if you are easily offended!
