Great news for people that enjoyed Long way Round. The follow-up FINALLY gets it's Canadian premiere Tuesday at 8 pm on National Geographic.

For those not familiar - Long Way Round was a documentary featuring Ewan MacGregor along with his "best mate" going around the world on their motorbikes. It was a tremendous series.

Thanks for the heads up. Every once in a while I've been putting it into my search mode on the PVR to see if I missed a presser.

Never heard of it, but it sounds sweet. As a huge motorbiker myself, it should be a fun show to watch.

Missed this thread and wouldn't have known about their return w/o seeing the article in the back of the Entertainment section in the Herald. Loved the first show.

JiriHrdina · 10-21-2008, 05:23 PM

Yeah on tonight at 8 I think - which means I will miss part of the Flames game to watch it - it's THAT damn good.

Dodsdomd · 10-21-2008, 05:45 PM

Can't wait for this tonight. First run was so good!

LockedOut · 10-21-2008, 06:27 PM

It's on twice tonight and probably a few more times this week. Probably no need to miss the game.

Love the series. It was shown in the UK a while ago, so I got my fill in already. But I plan to buy both of them here shortly.

Read this just in time to set my PVR. I went to set it last week but NGHD guide wasn't up to date.

worth · 10-21-2008, 08:32 PM

The first one was awesome. Didn't know they were doing another one. Thanks for the heads up.

Love how they came through Calgary and got in 2 accidents, while managing to not get into any other fender benders anywhere else in the world.

Madman · 10-21-2008, 08:32 PM

Is it a weekly show?

I want to set my PVR accordingly and the show does not display and episode # or air date for the PVR to pick up on new episodes.

WindomURL · 10-21-2008, 09:54 PM

As of right now, I see it listed for Tuesday 11pm and Saturday 11pm Calgary time.
I missed the 8pm airing.

Engine09 · 10-21-2008, 10:35 PM

Noticed the commercials just the other day, caught one show last year and it looked pretty good.

Just set my brand new PVR to record every episode starting today, nice!

Probably were trying to pass someone in the left lane

Love the show. Whats with the wife joining for part of it though. Would suck to be Boorman.

JiriHrdina · 10-22-2008, 12:13 AM

Yeah have no idea how someone figures they can go from not riding at all to suddenly taking part in a trip like this. If I were Charlie I would have told Ewan no dice!

JerzeeGirl · 10-22-2008, 08:04 AM

Was an excellent show last night - can't wait for them to get down to the actual travel in the next episode......Ewan rocks!

Dodsdomd · 10-22-2008, 08:38 AM

Keep Yoko off the trip!

worth · 11-13-2008, 10:33 AM

After seeing tis weeks episode does anyone else feel the need to travel to some of these countries?

I've always really really wanted to go to egypt as well as Tunisia and Morocco, and I'd love to go to Libya and Sudan seemed really interesting as well.

Anyone ever done a trip like that before? Just seems like such a change from our lives here and everything seems so much more simple over there. Seems like something I could long for.
