If any of you were fans of "Long Way Round", a motorcycle touring show with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman were they traveled from London to New York City, they are doing it again on the Fox Reality Channel starting August 2nd, 2008.


This summer, Fox Reality Channel presents another new original series, "Long Way Down." Featuring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, this is a follow-up series to "Long Way Round", which also airs on Fox Reality Channel. This time, the team's 15,000 mile journey has them traveling through volatile political hotbeds, treacherous road conditions and stunning natural wonders.

Best friends, McGregor and Boorman travel through numerous countries including Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Namibia, taking time to examine the various cultures and natural wonders they encounter along the way. Their course takes 85 days, crosses two continents and is filled with innumerable adventures and challenges. McGregor's wife, Eve Mavrakis, joins the show for the first time, and introduces an all new dynamic to the team as she rides along with them for a leg of the journey. In addition to lending a personal hand to projects for UNICEF, McGregor and Boorman also raised over $1 million for Children's Hospice Association and Riders for Health through the show.

Fox Reality Channel is bringing the popular series to American audiences for the first time after its successful run as the #2 program on the BBC2 (UK) when it aired there last fall.
