Default Long Way Down

Anyone else been following Long Way Down, the motorcycle trip by Ewan
McGregor and Charlie Boorman (among others) from John O' Groats (North
Scotland) to Cape Town?

The BBC has been showing it, three eps aired so far. It's not technically
available in the US but it can be torrented. Given that it's not
available one might not feel so guilty about torrenting it.

It's quite good, though I think not as "genuine" as Long Way Round was.

I wish I could see it here in the US... Any idea or rumors about it being
available on DVD sometime soon?

Nothing on the radar.

One option would be to torrent it now and buy it later to assuage any
guilt you might feel. I've done that with music, download for free to try
it but then buy it if I like it and delete it if I don't.

It will probably be shown in a few months on OLN or Speed or some
similar cable only network.

Long way round wasn't too genuine either considering the amount of
support vehicles they must have had to house the video crew.

At least the Dakar one made no pretense that he (Borman) was on his
own.

I'm hoping that it will show up on BBC America soon. I watch that
channel on a regular basis.
