British actress and author Joanna Lumley OBE is to explore off-the-beaten-track areas of Japan in a new three-part documentary series for ITV, The Belfast Telegraph reported on 12 June.
Lumley will travel across the country’s four main islands by boat, train, plane and on foot, covering more than 3,200km.
Jo Clinton-Davis, ITV’s controller of factual programming, said: “Exotic, enchanting, exciting—Japan is a country with so many gifts. And with her natural warmth, vibrant curiosity and inimitable humour, Joanna Lumley is uniquely equipped to bring them home to our viewers as she guides us though this latest adventure”.
