Rating: - No Long Way Round/Down
Long Way Round and Long Way Down were interesting and fun, both the books and DVD/TV. By Any Means continues the same approach but it looses something - Charley comes across as too much of a bumbling positive joker that I start to get sick of ever new place that is visited as being beautiful and life changing. It all gets a bit much and has lost the sense of adventure of the Long Way programmes. The pretense is that this is a lower budget simpler adventure of just 3 people but this really isn't the ...

Rating: - by all means wait till the full version comes out
hi
i've been watching this on iplayer and it's a great program the only thing i'd say is w.a.i.t until the full 'extended version' hits the shops the production company have a habit of releasing the product on dvd then re releasing it with more added bonus content just a couple of months later...that's what happened with the long way down and i bought the first version so felt somewhat annoyed at being short changed on extra's by being enthusiastic about the program...would have been nice to be ...
