Unlike the Long Way series, By Any Means has Charley taking all sorts of transport from motorbikes to bicycles to tuk-tuks to vintage cars to speedboats to cargo ships and even a wakeboard to cross from Malaysia to Singapore. The crew is smaller this time: it was just Charley, Russ Malkin (the director) and Mungo, the cameraman.
In By Any Means 2, Claudio Von Plata, their cameraman for Long Way Round and Long Way Down is back, and thanks to his Twitter updates, I found out that the crew was in the country last June and parts of July, passing through Malaybalay, Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Legaspi, Camarines Sur, Manila and Subic Bay. I’m so looking forward to watching this episode.
While Googling, I found episodes of By Any Means uploaded on Google Video. It’s not the best of quality, and episode 4 is missing, but hey, it’s enough for a fix. (Edit March 25, 2010: Reader Lu found Episode 4! Thanks Lu!)
