Ewan and Thingy

This series was first aired as snippets post and pre advertisement breaks in small segments on E4. What first started out life as a smirking take on the series 'Long way round', a motorbike journey by actors and close friends Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman, quickly became something hilarious if not cruel at times. Richard Glover and John Willie Hopkins put in fine comic performances with a script that will leave you laughing and cringing at the same time. It may help you to understand the humour if you have seen the original series "Long Way Round". However, all you really need to understand is the relationship between the two leads, one, a famously successful actor, the other, who used to be in his dad's movies a long time ago (cruel I know). This series used to be freely available to view online but has since disappeared. This is a tragedy of comic proportions. One would hope it wasn't relegated to the dungeons of comedy for crimes against the ego as it genuinely deserves to be seen by as many as possible. If you do get the opportunity to see it please do, you won't be disappointed.
