Long way round - great adventure
Long way down - ok, version of a format
By any means - taking the p1ss with licence-payers money for one guy to spend his life gallivanting round the world on someone else's tab.

Who says it cost the license payers anything? His own production company would have made it and then the Beeb would buy it if they thought it was good viewing or told them to speak to C5 is it wasn't.

I'm jealous because I'm saving like mad and I have sold just about everything and my parents have permission to sell my bike if I run out of money and these guys don't have to worry about anything like that.
Getting major sponsorship is hard if you're a nobody
It's going to be a nice sneak preview of some places we'll see along the way

Watch Race to Dakar, the spirit is back and it's absolutely fascinating to see this bonkers race behind the scenes. Really gives you an insight into the mentality and mentalness of the competitors. Oh and finishing a stage with two broken hands... F**k me, you may think he moans a bit at times, but jesus. That's big b
