Joanna Lumley goes Arctic for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One


Joanna Lumley attempts to realise her life's ambition in a one-off special film for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One.

Μύ

Travelling north across the Arctic Circle up through Norway and finally to Svalbard, Joanna takes viewers on a very personal journey as she hopes to see the spell-binding Northern Lights in Joanna Lumley: Land Of The Northern Lights (working title).

Μύ

Joanna grew up in tropical Malaysia, yet dreamed of the winter wonderland she read about in books.

Μύ

She says: "I had never seen snow and never felt cold. In the Far East, cold was a luxury and snow was only in pictures in fairy stories."

Μύ

On this epic voyage Joanna uncovers the nature, history and culture of the region whilst taking in the rugged beauty of her surroundings.

Μύ

Box of crayons in hand, Joanna's journey takes her from dog sled to snowmobile as she finds out about the region's rich and surprising folklore of snow-queens, trolls and Vikings and spends time with reindeer herdsmen from Europe's last indigenous people, the Sami.

Μύ

Alison Kirkham, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Executive Producer, says: "It has been a privilege for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ to share with Joanna what is a very special voyage to the North.

Μύ

"It has been a personal goal of hers to experience the Northern Lights and Joanna's immense enthusiasm for the project shines throughout the documentary."

Μύ

Joanna Lumley: Land Of The Northern Lights is a one-hour documentary made by Takeaway Media for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One due for broadcast later this year.

Μύ

The film's director, Takeaway Media's Archie Baron, says: "I've been lucky enough to film many journeys. But I'm sure Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One viewers will agree with me that it's hard to find a more enjoyable travelling companion than the clever, charming, indefatigable and idiosyncratic Ms Lumley – a true one-off!"

Μύ

As Joanna seeks her personal Holy Grail, a chance to see the mysterious and elusive Northern Lights, viewers follow her funny, touching and momentous expedition north and discover whether she finally realises her dream.
