Rating: - Format Issue
I'm about half way through watching the series. The series is great! I read the reviews carefully before I ordered this DVD and took note that some reviewers complained of receiving a PAL format DVD even though advertised as the NTSC format. Well, I figured Amazon probably straightened it out by the time I ordered. I was wrong. I received a PAL version. Assuming there are not any NTSC versions available, I couldn't wait and opened the pack. It wouldn't play in any of the three DVD players I have for ... Read More

- Not as good as Long Way Round
I love Ewan McGregor. My husband loves motorbikes. It's a match made in heaven, right? Well, this series is great, but we like the first trek better. LWR is our choice if we had to pick, but we like them both.

- Great DVD, Total Amazon Goof-Up!!
After reading about "Long Way Down" in a magazine I decided to order the entire series. I found it being offered on Amazon.com, but the description stated it was not yet available. After doing more research on the internet, I discovered it would not be available in NTSC format until early October 2008. But I ordered it any way, almost immediately receiving an email from Amazon stating I would receive an email when it became available. I figured this to be in early October 2008. About 3 days after I ordered ... Read More

- This is the PAL Version...
Just a heads up, but after ordering this I was send the PAL version rather than the NTSC version as listed in the description. Its not a big deal to me as it plays in my MacBook Pro and in the home DVD player anyway. Much more footage than the original 6 part series on TV. This is a 10 part special edition and like Long Way Round it is life changing.
