I am throughly enjoying this series in actually fact more than LWD and LWR, Charlie is flourishing and exceedingly engaging to watch, He never moans and its a pleasue to hear him say how genuinly fantastic these far flung places are up close. He comes across very well and would be a joy as a travel companion, I find he says what the viewer is thinking , well certainly me anyway. I always felt he was very much in Ewan's shadow in the other two and quite honestly should not be, he was as big a part of the journey as him. Certainly LWD was spoilt with Ewans wife insisting on coming, sure shes a lovely lady but it spoilt the dynamice duo somehow.
I don't think I would bother buying the book but the tv series had been a wonderful journey to watch, look forward to watching what this lovely man does next.

I've really enjoyed this series. Charley gets a bad press and I myslef have grown to like the guy more after reading all the books and watching the DVDs. His enthusiasm is infectious and he doesnt moan like Ewan Mcgregor. Long way Round was super but this series is entertaining and a good watch
by all means wait till the full version comes out October 14, 2008

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 given the option of a download area for those who were first to buy..still learned my lesson and will wait fo the proper dvd version this time.
other than that this is a great journey to watch charlie 'do his thing'

Unlike most reviews for this thusfar I thought I'd wait to see the whole series. How can you really comment if you haven't?
Before I start my review of the series I'd say that watching this on DVD is the way to go. This kind of adventure should seem epic and long, put it on and watch 3 episodes back to back. Not in a weekly form. I found Long Way Down much better on DVD than on TV due to this. Oh and one more thing, it's not as good as Ewan McGregor And Charley Boorman - Long Way Round [Special Edition] [2004], few shows are, so don't expect it to be.
So, it's Charley on his own, but not for the first time. Charley Boorman - Race to Dakar follows Charley as he and his team enter the infamous Dakar Rally. In this Charley has to show his abilities as a Biker and presenter, good training for By Any Means.
By Any Means is a different adventure altogether. Gone are the BMW motorbikes, replaced by over 100 different types of transport as Charley goes from Ireland to Australia 'by any means'. Really this is one big, nerdy transport documentary, showing how people move around the world, talking more about machines than cultures. This isn't a documentary about soaking up cultures as per the previous outings. Things get trickier as the series goes on, climaxing in a some dangerous events in the last episode.
Charley does well, he's obviously a good guy and is willing to show all to the camera (literally). This is more like your mate going on an adventure than a TV/Film star, which is By Any Mean's charm.
I've enjoyed it on TV and I'll do even more so again on DVD.

i had to write this review as i think some of the comments made in previous reviews are unfair.
i loved Long Way Round, so much so that i have watched the whole series over a weekend on more than one occassion.
I was sorely disappointed by Long Way Down, to me and my hubby it pretty much was all about Ewan "i am the movie star" McGregor. They rushed the last couple of episodes and i think there was noticable tension between Ewan and Charley.
By Any Means i think has found Charley in his niche, ok, we maybe don't see so much of the cities he is visiting but this series is about the modes of transport in these different cities. Charley seems more visibly relaxed than he did on Long Way Down and he is really enjoying himself, i find it difficult to not get wrapped up in his enthusiasm :)
So, each to their own but Charley, i think you have made a great programme here, i look forward to watching the DVD and you on your next adventure. :)
