Heard the interview on Johhny Walker last night, sounds good.

Looking forward to it on Monday, should be great. Forced myself to listen to Jonathan Ross a few weeks back cause they were on to talk about it. Annoyingly he just talked over them for 10 minutes and sent them on their way. Crying or Very sad

I don't have sky at all - could some kind soul with the ability to make SVCD's burn the eps to disc?. I don't mind duplicating them and sending them out to BCF members who request them. We could start a share tree: I get a copy and send a copy to two people, those two people make two copies and send them to two people... etc, etc... Smile

Yay? Nay? Confused

Oh, I don't have VHS anymore either, so no tapes.

The DVD is going to be released in November (26th I think) but I'll have a bash. I have Sky+, so if they don't have Macrovision I can stream them all to my DVD recorder (purely for backup/archive reasons, officer). If they do, I'll have to capture them on the PC.

I could always leave my webcam pointed at the TV though Smile

That program was great!

Going to be one hell of an adventure, cant wait to see next weeks now. Very Happy

From the highlights of the next showing, it looks quite interesting seeing as they had plenty of nasty encounters. Looked like the 4x4 that was following them had a nasty roll too. Shocked

Should be an interesting few weeks. Thumbs Up Smile

Seconded! Very Happy That Charley guy's a great character I thought. Was great how he got the beamer out of the van and dented the pannier within 30 seconds. Laughing Can't wait 'til next weeks already, and I'll probably end up getting the book too.

On NTL it's 931ish, no idea about Sky. I've got no way of sticking copies on the PC, else I would. Expect a torrent will show up somewhere soon though.

Excellent! Thumbs Up
Personally, if the DVD is out that soon, I'll just stick it on my Christmas list. https://x9.ipbhost.com/style_emoticons/default/xmas.gif I'm still happy to dupe discs for people though. Smile

Good to hear the DVD will be out soon i will be getting that, also is anyone reading the book?

I recommend it, its very good, ewan and charley come across as real bike nuts Twisted Evil, just getting through it though slowly.

Though i can't belive ktm wouldn't support them, and fair play to BMW for taking a chance on them.

I wasn't impressed with Terra Circa, they seemed far too up themselves for my liking. Mondo enduro seemed better worked though.
I enjoyed the first episode of LOng Way Round, and look forward to the rest..

Anyone watch it tonight?

Dunno about you lot, but when random people come up to me in the street and ask me to follow them at midnight to a place you dont know, I'd be cacking myself. Laughing

They got well lucky, could of easily been robbed/murdered, but I suppose you've got to trust people.

Another thing. Towards the end, where did all the cute girls come from!? I'm positive that house was a brothel. Laughing

The next few episodes should be really interesting. Looking forward now. Thumbs Up Very Happy

Yeah it was a good one. Laughing to that camera man who had just passed his DAS and then faced a 17,000 mile bike ride. Poor sod.

Hey that guy with the kelashnokovs was cool! Thumbs Up

That is what we were talking about, that bloke was well dodgy. Ok it turns out he was a nice bloke, but it was like "oh I sell erm microwaves and thats why I have a house the size of albert hall and my squeeze has more shoes than you can imagine". Yeah right, I reckon they were the guests of "Don something-or-another" that night. Laughing
