New extended series

In this month's Sky magazine there was a piece about the new extended series that starts some time in July.

From next month we can all find out more about Ewan and Charley's fantastic trip through countries such as Ukraine and Mongolia when Long Way Round gets another airing on Sky One. The series, which follows the pair over three months on the road, has been re-edited into 10 parts to include additional footage from the European and North American legs. There's also a new final episode in which the lads ponder their favourite moments. Look out for Kalashnikovs, treacherous weather and a nasty supper of animal testicles!

They don't have any specific dates or mention wether it will be on in the US.

I hope so. It turns out that I'm going to miss some of the episodes because we're going on holiday.

* Please note that dates and times could change

Long Way Round has also enjoyed two full runs on Bravo in the US.

Please watch this space for future broadcast dates as RDF International will be selling the show internationally.

I watched the first one the other day! It's really good. Ewan and Charley are really funny lol.

"Long Way Round has enjoyed two full runs on BRAVO in the US."

Not really. The Website goofed on that one.

I don't want to sound nit-picky, but when BRAVO was supposed to show the second run of LWR, the last 2 episodes (out of only 6) were never shown. Some programming genius decided to show re-runs of some other series.

I'm hoping this latest version comes out on DVD.

Hmmm I don't have Sky, but it's quite cool I thought they didn't show enough of the Europe/America parts.
