Review

 

This is the special extended edition DVD release of Long Way Round. This 3 disc set compiles all 10 of the extended series episodes and contains a number of never before seen extras.

One of the successes of 2004, Long Way Round tells the story of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's extraordinary journey around the world the "Long Way Round". Departing from London on 14th April 2004 the pair travelled through Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia, Alaska, Canada arriving in the USA just over 3 months later. Along the way the intrepid pair encountered Kalashnikov-toting gangsters and extreme cuisine, survived numerous motorised scrapes often whilst traversing non existent roads days from the nearest hospital and found themselves alarmingly close to a hungry grizzly bear. They arrived at their final destination, New York, on 29th July and this DVD release tells the story from the eyes of the two film stars.

Divided into the 10 one hour Sky One extended episodes including an entirely new episode 10, the triple DVD also features a number of extras including unseen and extended footage of the biking boys most memorable moments, photo gallery, extended post trip interview, interview with the series creators and additional information such as technical details of the bikes and itinerary required for a journey of this magnitude.

Already a multi-platinum selling success, this special edition extended 3 disc format is sure to be a massive hit with the existing fans of the series along with many people who are sure to newly discover Long Way Round for themselves.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Long way round

Absolutely wonderful viewing. I actually bought Long Way Down first, and knew I had to get the 3 disc edition, I would completely recommend this to anyone with interest in travelling.

It's also very entertaining and funny, highlighting the highs and lows of exploring volatile and beautiful countries and landscapes. A brilliant program, which was very well edited.

I especially loved the way that the individuals that the guys met along the way were interviewed, and I think this brings the important human aspect of travelling into the limelight, as there are so many interesting characters to meet in every country!

"Chasing shadows across the world" is Ewan & Charley's motto for this journey. It couldn't get more accurate than that! I have watched all dvd's twice through and find it more enjoyable the more I watch it. If you want to learn a little about the highs and lows of visiting (often volatile and politically unstable) parts of the world before going off travelling yourself, watch this!

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Amazing Journey To Watch

If you enjoy the show on tv, then the 3 disc one is a good buy. You'll probably be annoyed at yourself for not getting this edition after you watch the series again anyways xD It's good to see how the journey got started, th preperation and then watch the journey itself and all the amazing experiences they have. Then there's the follow up episode which gives you an insight into how they felt about a lot of the journey and things you don't see on camera, which is nice :) Good buy and watch
