Ewan McGregor - Charlie Boorman Long Way Down

Cobol74 · July 6th, 2007, 11:39 PM

New programme in the offing! Ewan and Charlie going from John-o-Groats to Cape Town. Some Stuff on BBC, at the moment I'll try to post links too - Well I think it should be good judging by Long Way Round - Well I hope so.

BBC Posted it so no imbed!

At first I thought this was about Long Way 'Round, but with a horrible typo. Awesome news! I watched the film Long Way Round and bought the book as well. Amazing stuff. I can't wait for this one!

EDIT: Wow, sure didn't take BBC long to get those YouTube videos taken down.

No I think that they are IP blocking. Tried to do an Orbit capture as I suspected as much, would not let me, so I think its UK (may be EU only vids) sorry. Just rechecked the Vid and its OK for me.

Guys/Not a Dudes its proxy server time! Need to try to get hold of one with a UK IP address! Lots of BBC provided stuff on YouTube which is interesting and/or pre broadcast!

BerserkerCatSplat · July 7th, 2007, 12:46 AM

I can't wait, I loved LWR!

bartboy9891 · July 7th, 2007, 12:52 AM

Yea they started a little while ago, this one sounds like it could get pretty dangerous.

essentialatom · July 7th, 2007, 1:12 AM

I heard about this a while ago, my brother is really into Long Way Round and he found out about it pretty sharpish. I'm surprised this hasn't had a thread about it sooner images/smilies/tongue.gif

fbc · July 7th, 2007, 2:25 AM

Awesome awesome awesome - I've been waiting for this. Long Way Round was brilliant.

Devon · July 7th, 2007, 2:58 AM

Sounds good, I haven't seen Long Way Round yet, but I've seen Race to Dakar which Charlie Boorman did with a few others and that was awesome.

HondaF1 · July 7th, 2007, 4:48 AM

If anyone listens to The Chris Moyles Show on BBC R1, then you'll hear Charlie and Ewan ring up once a week/fortnight, with an update on the trip. They are thoroughly enjoying themselves.

JipJopJones · July 7th, 2007, 4:52 AM

I loved the Long Way Round.... so this should be equally good! (minus the road of bones... that part was intence)

KaJuN · July 7th, 2007, 5:05 AM

I got the Long Way Round via uTorrent and once I started watching it I couldn't stop. It's such an interesting thing to watch. I can't wait for this one!

BerserkerCatSplat · July 8th, 2007, 4:56 AM

Waitaminute, if they're going through Africa...

HOLY SHIT IT'S A LION, GET ON THE MOTORCYCLE

KaJuN · July 8th, 2007, 9:29 AM

As long as they remember that lightsaber > lion they'll be fine. Besides, it's the Barbary apes that they really have to watch out for.

Cobol74 · July 8th, 2007, 8:17 PM

Apparently Hippos kill the most people and they are vegetarians!

Blind_Io · July 8th, 2007, 8:26 PM

Aye, they are very aggressive and very territorial.

Karoug · July 8th, 2007, 9:42 PM

Did you see the "Race to Dakar" that Charley Boorman did? Also really good fun!

Blind_Io · July 9th, 2007, 7:10 AM

I did, thanks to FinalGear!

Cobol74 · July 9th, 2007, 8:21 AM

I saw both the Long Way Round and Race to Dakar, really great stuff two of my all time favourite shows. Now the BBC has got them, so lets see what they can do with the format.

Had a little play, are the links working now?
