Rating: - One big ego trip
This series comes a very poor second to the tales of genuine mororcycle traveller/explorers such as Ted Simon and Lois Pryce. The first few episodes are primarily about the massive egos of the travellers, with minimal focus on the journey or the people or countries they meet. Backed by huge budgets and continuously monitored by a team of baby-sitters in 4x4s, this series leaves me cold.

Rating: - Still a great adventure!
I only bought this DVD after watching the first few episodes on NatGeo. I didn't plan on watching it after reading the bad reviews here. But I loved Long Way Round and knew I just had to watch these two guys again.

The first big criticism abt this series must be Eve's (Ewan's wife) out-of-the-blue decision to join them. As a woman I was slightly embarrassed for her because she had never even ridden a motorcycle before! It didn't help that Ewan was gleeful of the prospect and I felt ... Read More

Rating: - Better than the Standard 2 Disc Edition
I wrote a review on the first DVD set of this documentary in which I gave it 3 stars because of how little footage there seemed to be. Thankfully having the extra 3 episodes and the extra footage in the other episodes have helped the programme greatly.

There have been complaints about how much the support team, which consisted of Russ & David (producers), Dai (medic), Claudio (who rode with Ewan & Charley), Jimmy & Jim (cameramen + Jim dealt with security), featured in this sequel to ... Read More

Rating: - Let down by massive support team

Rating: - A Humanitarian View of Africa
I loved this series, showing our 2 adventurers, warts and all, appreciating the beauty and tragedy of Africa. I have been working there for 30 years now and really appreciated what a balanced view they gave of a continent which few Europeans have visited outside the better-known tourist resorts and which even fewer understand. I have watched the series at least 3 times in the last 12 months and it's one of the few videos I keep permanently on my Archos.
