Editorial Review:
UK DVD (PAL/Region 0). Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman begin a twenty thousand mile trip by motorcycle around the world, travelling through Europe, Mongolia and Canada. Seven one hour episodes. Long Way Round documents the adventures of film stars Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting, Moulin Rouge, Star Wars) and Charley Boorman on their 20,000 mile motor bike trip around the world. 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 with companion soundtrack tells the story from the eyes of the two film stars. CD soundtrack also available. EMI. 2005. Please note you will need an All Code DVD player to view.
Long Way Round Reviews:
Great motorycle 'movie' 
2008-11-25 - Like a good book, we just couldn't put it down. Great motorcycle tale, with peerless peaks into the lives of ordinary people living in challenging environments, reflecting the goodness of mankind too.
You'll laugh, cry, hoot, and at the same time, learn a different perspective of other peoples around this globe.
I hated that there are two version; the one for the US that did not show the US section of their trip, and the other version, which did. What's up with that???
Didn't get it... : ( 
2008-05-15 - The seller was so nice and let us know that the dvd had been eraised. I am so glad that they checked it and didn't just send it out blank.
Would purchase from this person again.
Long way round review.
2006-07-05 - Excellent DVD, my wife and I put the kids to bed, jumped under a blanket on the couch, and with a cup of tea, intended to watch just 1 episode. 4 hrs later, we dragged ourselves to bed, with a date to watch the second disc the next night. All this on a school nite !
I have lent the dvd to a few mates, and they each say the same thing, it is a very entertaining show and you cant watch just one episode. Not since 'Band of Brothers' have we sat through several episodes in one session. Now, where's my helmet woman..
