Joanna Lumley returns to ITV, this time embarking on a rip-roaring adventure across the heart of Europe following the most international river in the world, the Danube.

Joanna Lumley goes on the trip of a lifetime - exploring the longest river in the world, the River Nile, from sea to source. Surprisingly, much of the journey's first leg is by train. She's following the world's longest river from the sea to the source - 4,000 miles away. "It would take us for ever to do it by boat," she explains, so politely it would be rude to argue this was the point.

An amazing journey in Norway's Far North as Joanna Lumley pursues a lifelong dream to track down the elusive, stunningly beautiful Northern Lights - 'the true wonder of the world,' as she puts it. Joanna grew up in tropical Malaysia, and as a little girl never saw snow or felt cold. Inspired by fairytales and picture books, she always longed to make the journey north. At last she travels north across the Arctic Circle, up through Norway to Svalbard, the most northerly permanently inhabited place on Earth, where she has to cope with temperatures approaching minus 30 deg C. With a box of crayons in hand, her journey takes her from train to boat, to husky-sled, to snowmobile, as she is pulled ever northwards by what she calls 'the strongest point of the compass'. She explores the romantic fjords of Lofoten and learns to ride a snowmobile, speeding across endless expanses of Lapland tundra with a Sami herdsman in search of his reindeer. As she reaches the Arctic Ocean, she prepares for bed in a hotel made entirely of ice. Everywhere she goes, she asks about the mysterious Northern Lights.
