Did Ewan McGregor’s wife annoy anyone else last night?
Question by spanner the stig: Did Ewan McGregor’s wife annoy anyone else last night?
Watching “Long Way Down” last night, I found myself really quite irritated by Ewan McGregor’s wife, Eve, wanting to join the chaps on their ride through Malawi for 10 days. If she was already an experienced biker I’d have found it less annoying, but to me it just seemed as if she wanted to muscle in on the lads’ “Boys’ Holiday”. And I’m not even a bloke!
I just think as a wife, I would stay at home and look after our children and let him get on with it, instead of muscling in on his programme. And if she was really determined to ride with them for part of the trip, why not do it for a day or two on the test run from Scotland to London? Instead of leaving their children for 2 weeks and risking life and limb in Africa?
And for that matter, if my husband had broken his leg, I’d be blowed if I’d leave him at home alone and go off on a ski-ing holiday.
Perhaps I’m just old-fashioned…..
And I have nothing against women having experiences etc. etc. – I’m a wife with a life myself, thank you! I don’t think being a caring mother gives women a bad name. There’s nothing to stop her going off on a girly trip when Ewan gets back, I just think she’s trying to muscle in on his show.

Dead right you are old fashioned…you stay chained to the sink l’il lady.
Christ…forgive people for wanting to experience some of the world…without the kids for a while!
Yeah….. Charlie looked well P!ssed about it, but he seems too much of a nice bloke to wanna upset Ewan over it cos he knows Ewan is lookin forward to riding with his wife.
Brilliant programme innit.
The last one – the long way round was good “N”all.
Too right, get behind that kitchen sink woman and dont come out till I tell you to
Perhaps you are old fashioned.
I didnt know people with your opinion of women still existed! Thinking that they should just be a home maker!!!
I’m seriously insulted by you and you give women a bad name!
Maybe she just wants to get her face on telly – anyway possible!!!
كم عمري؟
I agree, also the producer had a good point:
What happens if they were both in an accident? Who would look after their kids?
yes I agree with everything you say
I find Ewan McGregor a bit annoying anyway
so between them I could probably handle about 10 mins before getting annoyed at them both
yes put me off watching like it when its just the boys havin a laugh
I didn’t see that bit, but I find the whole idea laughable. It’s hardly a lads venture into the great unknown with three thousand crew, cameras, hugs boxes of equipment, vans …etc all trailing in their wake. Where’s the fun in that? Also, it ‘s shockingly irresponsible from an environmental point of view. They don’t seem to have thought about that at all..
Well… your little moan apart, I found it very good.
Just how much was actually edited for TV?
You don`t know her, you probably never will, but you have decided to take a personal dislike to someone you have not even met.
Weird.
You need to to get out more…meet people.
I think perhaps you’re one of those women that hates other women.
YES! I am a female biker and have travelled around the world. There is no way a novice rider should attempt to to ride across Africa, it’s tough enough in a 4×4.
AND she’s ruining Charley and Ewan’s blokes time. If my partner wanted to do something like this with his best mate I wouldn’t dream to suggesting that I come along too. Similarly I would be very annoyed if the situation were reversed.
I am hoping that something happens and she doesn’t go.
Damn – I missed it!!! I thought it started later this week….
