For anyone who was a fan of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's last offering......there's more on BBC2 tonight at 9pm.

The HDD recorder's set

The DVD's out on the 3rd December apparently...then it'll be the 'Special Edition' of course about 6 months later.

If it's as good as LWD it'll be excellent - looking forward to it.

The LWR was a bit special. I hope that LWD delivers!
I've got the special MCN offer on order; gawd only knows why I need yet another tshirt!

Total bollocks

Get it right - his Old Chap directed Deliverance.

Tut tut.

I have read the book, finished it on Saturday and will watch the programme tonight.

Hope it is better than the book as it was not as good as the first (hope I have not spoilt things).

Choose yer banjo

Anyone who's not read Ted Simon's superb adventure story, Jupiter's Travels, is missing a real treat.
1973 : No GPS, no email, no mobile phone, no internet, no credit card, no planning/escort/camera/rescue teams...

"Four years around the world on a Triumph".
A classic.

Fair call - a bit of research shows that Boxerscott is correct.

I was looking forward to a good scrap too - even went and got the popcorn.

I must have missed something.

With LWR I expected a load of tosh, two lovies playing at it. Fair enough, they had the support vehicles and stuff, but in my opinion they did well. Infact I was well impressed. There's no doubt they are well into biking on a gennuine passionate level and they did a lot of good for UNICEF and other causes en route.
It's easy to knock them but it's the one thing I'm mad-keen to do. Anyone who's stuck at it and done the trip, well done. It's only a dream for me yet, but it's one I aim to fullfill.

DVD on order.

I thought it was excellent - makes we want a GS again though

I'm with you PB re: the people that knock them.

I can't wait for the next 5 episodes.
