Long Way Down on DVD.After the stunning success of "Long Way Round" the journey around the world goes on.

Munich/London. Two men, two continents and 25,000 kilometres worth of
adrenalin-laced excitement. When Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman set
off on two BMW R 1200 GS Adventure motorcycles on the Long Way Down
southward from John O'Groats in May 2007, expectations as to what they
would encounter were almost impossible to imagine. Three months and 18
countries later, encountering some of the most spectacular people and
scenery yet seen on a road trip of this kind, the two friends are still
taking in what has proved to be the biking journey of a lifetime. Now,
courtesy of EMI Records, the whole epic adventure is available to own
and revisit again and again, as Long Way Down has just been released on
DVD. Having recently inspired audiences to critical acclaim on BBC
television in the UK (where on average 3.7 million viewers have tuned
in to the Sunday evening shows), the specially packaged double disc DVD
offers the complete TV series of Long Way Down and documents Ewan and
Charley's extraordinary journey from Scotland's farthest nether-regions
right through to the southernmost tip of Africa. Featuring around
six-and-a-half hours of stunning, inspiring visuals from countries such
as Libya, Ethiopia, Sudan, Rwanda and South Africa, the Long Way Down
DVD also includes a number of extras, such as previously unseen extended
footage, photo gallery, interactive route map and much more. From
blinding sandstorms to searing temperatures, tricky border crossings and
extreme riding conditions Long Way Down is an awe-inspiring adventure
which sees two friends together experience the undiscovered wonders of
a continent rich in all possible interpretations of the word 'amazing'.
As Ewan McGregor says: "Long Way Down has been an amazing journey
and it has been a real privilege to be able to experience these diverse
and beautiful places. We've had the opportunity to see such different
ways of life to ours and have travelled to remote places very few
people have access to. The sense of freedom and exploration has been
incredible." Encompassing two continents and 18 countries, the
Long Way Down DVD also features exclusive unseen footage of Ewan and
Charley's trip and preparations, including Ewan and Charley being put
through their paces with some hostile environment training; the
preparation of the bikes; white water rafting in Uganda; seeing the
meeting of the Nile; and visiting one of the oldest churches in
Ethiopia. The DVD also offers the opportunity to view Ewan and
Charley's epic 25,000 kilometre journey via an interactive map whereby
viewers can learn more about the route and the countries encompassed on
the trip. A trip photo gallery allows viewers to view a number of
photos that Ewan, Charley and the team took themselves offering the
unique opportunity to gain a behind-the-scenes view of the adventure.
The Long Way Down DVD is available from all good online retailers and is
