It’s a lovely travelogue – 13 countries worth. Hyper-miling to do it with electric bikes adds bits of suspense and touches of drama.

We’re on board for the thrill of the trip and the stunning visuals we’ll see on Long Way Up, plus seeing McGregor and Boorman renew their friendship will be fun. But the privilege shown on this trip is staggering and detracts from our enjoyment of the show.

The vistas are glorious. The locals are charming. The technical feat is impressive. The stars and their supporting cast seem like thoroughly decent chaps. Sadly, such qualifiers don’t stop this self-indulgent series from being deeply tedious television. It’s like a Top Gear segment stretched way too thinly.
