I am just watching the first episode, starting in Venice following Marco Polo's route. I'm not sure if this is a repeat, but I'm really enjoying it.

What a great job she has, paid to travel to all these fascinating places. Also, I really love the clothes she wears, just so practical and comfortable, but stylish. No doubt expensive too.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I'm a great admirer of Joanna Lumley, I think she's wonderful with all the people she meets and has a great sense of fun.

I have enjoyed ALL of the travel programmes Joanna Lumley has covered from the Nile to Greece , Siberia to Japan and the current Silk Road series is equally charming.

I said this of Joanna Lumley on a past thread of a similar vein.

" She has a charm about her doesn't she. I think it's because she looks the person right in the eye when talking to them and knows how to make a person feel important, special. One could say she is brilliant at captivating her audience by flannelling them up."

She is undoubtedly a ' people person ' and have you noticed that she has had to withhold from making any form of 'personal contact' whilst in Iran , it must be so awkward for such an outgoing personality.
