ODYSSEY: Driving Around the World
A bunch of D2 driving folks go from San Francisco, down to the tip of South America, they then cross Australia, head up through Singapore into Asia, N India, China, Siberia, Alaska, Canada and back down through the US.
41,000 miles! 
It's a 2 disc DVD set, and I'm just half way through - fun to watch, great to se Land Rovers doing what they are supposed to, in far of places 
NTSC (region free) DVD - so you'll need multi-standard DVD and TV

One oil change in 41,000 miles!!!! 08 LR3 SE V8 - 02 D2 SE7 V8
Porsche 911 (03 996) - Porsche Boxster (99 986)
03 MINI Cooper S - gone but not forgotten!

Nope havn't heard of it but I may just place an order on your recommendation - just finished watching Long Way Down DVD (with the expedition-prepared Patrols) and this one looks interesting. 2004 TDV6 SE Zambezi Silver

Just ordered it from Amazon USA under the "Expedited International Shipping" class - delivery from estimate January 23rd isn't bad.
Equated to £24 for the DVD and £6 for the P&P 2004 TDV6 SE Zambezi Silver

Why is it called 'Season 1'? I presume they show you the whole expedition in this DVD? Or are they planning another one..? 2004 TDV6 SE Zambezi Silver

you get the whole trip - I assume they're planning another trip as 'season 2'
I found the original website for the company set up the whole trip - they've done quite a few others already!

Here's the website for the Latitude expedition they did in '99 - nice classic Land Rovers!
