Excellent reminder, I'll be watching that.

McGregor is a cool guy and certainly has his work / life balance well in check. Certainly helps when you don't actually need to work!

Dammit, I really want to go off on a big adventure now. Not even been back a year from the last one. A lottery win would be useful just around now.

Very enjoyable first episode setting the scene I thought.

Was horrified by his broken ankle weeks before they went .... the same thing nearly happened to me last weekend when some nobber decided to cross the road in front of me when 2000 bikes were whizzing through London

Has made me want to dash out, buy a Belstaff and cross continents!
