“Long Way Down,” a new series appearing on the Fox Reality Channel, is a hip, liberating documentary capturing a motorcycle trip from Scotland to South Africa taken by actor Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, Tom Shales of the Washington Post says. “Though the tone is carefree and rowdy, this knockabout style of documentary can be just as informative and enlightening as the more formal and scholarly sort,” Shales sales. “One also learns that not all actors are dunderheads who’d rather gaze into mirrors than telescopes or binoculars.”
