And shirtless Ewan, of course :) The thing I love best about this series (as well as LWR and "Race to Dakar")is that I totally understand the wish to get on a bike and ride somewhere, anywhere, ooh that looks good, let's go now now now! If someone gave me the opportunity to take part in such a journey I would be all over them like a can of very fizzy Coke. The guys' energy is absolutely how I feel about two wheels and open road, and every episode makes my hubby and I wibble with jealousy as we reassure our baby that we do love her, but *sob* What I like least about this show is the sheer overkill when it comes to support vehicles etc. There are plenty of riders who have travelled farther and wider with only panniers and a backpack. Some of them have done so as rider and pillion, massively reducing the available packing space. Dear god, get over yourselves and just bloody ride!!! Naturally I blame Russ and whatshisface for this breakdown in simplicity. Yes, it could be handy to have an on-board medic and local fixers, but what's so wrong with a first aid kit and Lonely Planet? Yep, if the support crew left Charley, Ewan and Claudio to their own devices (and vice versa) this show would be PERFECT. So long as there was room for me to come along too. And more shirtlessness. Yay bikes! And shirtless Ewan, of course :)

I LOVE The Long Way Round, and could happily watch it on never ending repeat I think. I haven't got quite the same love for Down, but I'm still loving it nonetheless. What I think it needs is for the support crew to p***off, and for Ewan and Charley to be left alone to do what they do best, mainly talk about crap together and make each other laugh. Because when they are laughing, I am laughing. The thing I love about Round is the two of them meeting random people, adjusting to different ways of life and cultures, and just getting on with it. I think they've had too much distance to travel in too short a time, (and they know this) so the majority of it is just them on bikes wizzing past scenery and falling off their bikes. Not all that interesting to watch. Still, I wait for it every Sunday very eagerly, and I sit down with my cup of tea and biscuits, and I wait for Ewan to smile, and I am happy.
