Joanna Lumley’s Nile
Kieran Kinsella
The British TV travel show market is as overcrowded as a Cairo bazaar. It is overflowing with cheap frills, dodgy knock-offs and dusty antiques but every now and then you find a real diamond in the rough. Athena Learning have just unearthed one such treasure — Joanna Lumley’s Nile.

Joanna Lumley grew up on a princely estate in Kashmir and staying true to her roots, she has developed a reputation as a good old fashioned English aristocrat. As such, it is no surprise...
