The Long Way Down on Sky

When the hell is this on?

I just know I saw it advertised the other night but me and Mrs X cant recall when or what channel. (Mighta been the extra bottle of wine).

Have done a search and even checked the sky website and no joy.

Cheers

It's on 'Nat Geo Adventure', not the plain vanilla Nat Geo. http://natgeoadventuretv.com.au/Prog...n.aspx?Id=1186 starting tonight so I guess we won't get to see it until it hits Prime or some such later on.

Bastards...and here I was getting all excited.

Mrs X wont allow me to spend any more money on anything after the fun I have been having lately lol so will just have to wait a while.

Get a bit torrent program and do a search for the torrent file. Download all episodes from that. BTW Great series, watched it 6 months ago

There was a torrent that was the full series (which is what i used, from my addled memory) but it seems to have been removed. IMDB lists 6 episodes in the series but can only find the first 5 through the above link

Or better yet, don't watch it. Nah, j/k.

To be honest it is fairly average but probably worth the watch. I've watched long way round 3 or 4 times, won't bother watching long way down again though.

Another one that is on par with long way round is race to dakar. Has Charley and his attempt to do the pari dakar. Very interesting.

The soundtrack is very very good however.

The long way round is way better than the long way down.
It was more about charlie and Ewan, but the LWD seemed to be more about the crew and just wasnt the same

Agree, still a good watch, but not the boys adventure like the last one, all much more managed.
