[Actors and friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman star in and co-produce this new Bravo series chronicling their four-month transcontinental journey by motorcycle.

Through six one-hour episodes, Long Way Round shows the actors in a way the audience has never seen them before, utterly left to their own devices and foregoing their more comfortable lifestyle. Their journey takes them over 20,000 miles, circumnavigating the longest continuous landmass on earth through the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, Siberia, Alaska and Canada before arriving in the Untied States. As would be expected, they encounter hardships along the way, including cultural and language barriers as they pitch tents and attempt to live off the land. The journey is not only a test of their endurance, but a cultural lesson as well – as they take part in a range of activities native to the lands they traverse.]

This show is pretty neat. I have been watching it from the beginning and I love it. It comes on Bravo Thursday @ 8/7c if you want to check it out.

The wife is a Ewan fan and Tivo would not have caught it if it wasn't for his appearance on the Leno show a few weeks back.

I like the idea of the trek and am quite jealous of it. We've not watched it yet... it's just sitting on the Tivo.

This sounds like a great concept. Too bad I don't have Bravo anymore. On the plus side, my cable bill was just over $8 last month
