Not really, Ewan did Long Way 'Round, and Long Way Down. His show chronicled his bike trips that went east to west (Scotland to New York via Russia) and North to South (from Scotland down through Africa). It was Ewan, his friend and a third rider/cameraman. The full film crew only met them at certain points during each ride. Really cool series.
Enjoyed this first show and will tune in for the rest. Doesn't hurt that I am an avid motorcyclist. I did the Pacific Coast last year from San Francisco up into Washington and back down to Santa Cruz, so it was neat to see some of the sights again.
Of course, I could do without the goofball riding antics of his guests (standing on the bike seat on the highway and that weird superman pose the girl kept doing). That's the kind of stuff that makes all bikers look like goofballs to the general public.

Gorgeous bike. I rode a basic sportster 1200. Occasionally I'd grab my brothers Road King classic. That was a beast. I watched the first episode and really enjoyed it. Gives me the urge to grab another bike. lol
I think I'll DVR it and watch more episodes
