Six episodes

Quote:

Gritty adventurer Charley Boorman returns to BBC Two for his most daring journey so far – from Ireland To Sydney By Any Means. Charley gets off his bike and on to local available means of transport to negotiate his way through three continents, 25 countries and over 20,000 miles, avoiding commercial airlines wherever possible.

Over land and sea, and on more than 100 different modes of transport including container ships, dugout canoes, solar cars and even a yak, this will be the trip – and challenge – of a lifetime.

Thought it was a great opening episode in UK/Ireland, and being 72min, a lot happened. Nice bike Charlie got, and Charlie's dad showed us the Excalibur sword! from the movie, didnt know young charlie was in that film. Must see that and Emerald Forest again

Hope rest off the docu is interesting once they leave the country!

I agree really enjoyed it, i thought Charley has stepped out of Ewans shadow very well, nice to see Obiwan make an apperance though you could see he really wanted to go i know i would what an adventure, i wonder what stopped him if it was family or work....

Both i think, Ewan is always in 1 or 2 films a year, where as Charlie has more free time. Without it being becoming too repetitive, maybe it was a discussion for only one off them to do something.

Very interesting episode, Charlie invades India, emotional and funny, a few tragedies along the way, and a in depth look at the chaotic travel system.
