- A good watchIf you buy this DVD you are probably a fan of "Long Way Round" and will probably be a little disappointed by it. Nothing really wrong with it, same crew and basically the same format on a different trip, just not the epic of "Long Way Round." If "Long Way Round" gave some good hints on planing an epic journey then "Long Way Down" give plenty of hints of how not to do it. The trip ends well but up to the half way point it's text book bad planing. It is however a good watch and well worth buying. Recommended ... Read More

- Long Way DownIf you loved Long Way Round, you'll want to see Long Way Down. While possibly not quite the adventure as the first series, Long Way Down provides fascinating insights into the African countries that Ewan and Charlie pass through that you don't get from typical TV news. And if you are a motorcycle nut like me, their journey is going to make you want to take one of your own. If you love motorcycling, travel or are simply a Ewan McGregor fan, you'll enjoy Long Way Down.

I enjoyed LWD just as much as LWR, ... Read More

- great fun for motorcyclistsThis series gets down to the nitty gritty of a trip through the African continent by two movie stars. It shows, in it's own way, some of the beauty and some of the harshness of that continent. It's funny in places, sad in places, and downright tearful in others. The motorcycle ride aspects are very true to life (having made many myself but all in the US.) Sometimes the movie is even a bit crude, just what life on the road would be!
We watched an episode each evening, eagerly awaiting the next day's ... Read More
