Remember the lovable Claudio from Long Way Round and Long Way Down? Those treks haven’t been his only world explorations, in fact, Claudio has filmed and documented cultures located in a variety of remote locations, including the mountains of Afghanistan, the rain forests of New Guinea, and the front lines in Iraq. This latest film from him follows a group of philanthropists on an anti-slavery campaign to deliver 4×4 vehicles to humanitarian organizations in Sierra Leone. As always, I’ve hidden a nice little extra in this post – if you’re unsure how to access it, contact me:

If you’re a fan of the Long Way Down, Long Way Down, and Race to Dakar series, then you’ll love “By Any Means”:

This sitcom recently aired on CBS and is on hiatus due to the writer’s strike (more on that in a different post…). Originally picked up for 22 episodes, eight were aired before running out of completed material. Hopefully the other 14 shows will be aired when the strike is resolved.

Premise: Sheldon and Leonard are two physics doctorates currently performing research at their local university. Their old transvestit neighbors calls it quits and leaves their building. As they returning from work, they are surprised to find that their new neighbor is a drastic an improvement: a very cute and bubbly blonde Cheesecake Factory waitress from Omaha, who is certainly down a few pegs on the intellectual scale that Sheldon and Leonard observe.

Leonard quickly falls for Penny, but typical of science dorks, Leonard is too shy to reveal his feelings for Penny. Penny, recently broken up with her jock boyfriend is ready for new beginnings and a less lust-filled relationship with different kind of man. Penny, also shy and apprehensive towards Leonard, is reluctant to reveal feelings she has for Leonard and this sets up the awkward interactions and situations that the two endure for the duration of the series.

Joining Leonard and Sheldon are their eccentric fellow science nerds, Wolowitz (the romantic) and Koothrappali (the “foreign guy). Together they form your typical video-game-playing, trivia-wielding, over-analyzing nerd quartet.

Hilarity ensues as this genetic bouillabaisse of characters strive to learn more about every-day life.
