Joanna Lumley Binge-fest

When the world is topsy-turvy and the leaders of my country all seem are utterly mad and greedy bastards, watching the luminous Joanna Lumley travel the globe has been the soothing balm on a whole lot of ache. In a week and a half I saw eleven of her docu-series and watched her meet locals in India, Japan, Italy, Cuba, Haiti, Norway, England, Scotland, Wales, the North of Ireland, France,  Germany, Indonesia, Madagascar, Zanzibar, Jordan, Bhutan, Sudan, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Hong Kong, Mongolia, and Russia. It has been such a wonderful escape. She is kind and curious. Her humour transcends cultures and I love seeing her little quips make people literally laugh out loud. The woman is unbelievably charming and I only wish all of them were available to stream. (A bonus was watching lovely Alan Cumming on The Royal Scotsman, as that man is truly an absolute delight!)
