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.

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!

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
