By Any Means involves Charley traveling alone with just two
crew to undertake an expedition beginning in Sydney and ending
at the northern tip of Japan. The idea is to travel by as many
different means of transport as possible, and mostly this is
being done on the hoof to provide spontaneity and interesting
exchanges between Charley and locals.
Boorman visited the Arts Factory Lodge last weekend
filming his latest international series. He stayed for a
night before hitching a ride with an AFL backpacker to
complete the Byron to Brisbane leg of the journey. From
Yaks to Yugos, trucks to trawlers and ferries to fruit
boats, no mode of moving transport is overlooked as
Charley negotiates his way through 25 countries and over
20,000 miles. Taking in Eastern Europe and the undiscovered
countries of far Western Asia, moving across India and high
up into the Himalayas, Charley mixes his passion for traveling
with his love of meeting people and appreciating some of the
worlds most incredible offerings. An exhilarating story
uncovering a vast array of exciting, vehicles that in turn
unleash the flavor of each nation visited. A must watch
for all.
The By Any Means episode will screen in
September or October this year to an estimated 3.5 million
viewers. The series will then be screened many times over
worldwide on National Geographic, which broadcasts in more
than 60 countries.
