It was with great delight that I watched this enchanting program on BBC1 on Sunday. The marvellous actress Joanna Lumley visited the Arctic Circle to view the mystic phenomenon of the Northern Lights. This had been her life long dream after reading of these wonders in her childhood story book. A tiny picture of the aurora borealis staying in her memory throughout her life and it was with a great passion that she embarked on this rather special journey hoping to see them. She started her journey in Trondheim, Norway, catching a northbound train towards the arctic circle and along the way Joanna meets some very interesting people in this fantastic wonderland. Joanna Lumley is a much loved and very beautiful British actress and with her wonderfully cultured voice, it simply made this delightful television viewing. It was such a very nice change from all the shouting and swearing of so many recent programs. How very alluring this journey was, how restful, delightful and visually breathtaking. Joanna charms all the very interesting people she meets along the way, looking simply wonderful in her array of stunning winter hats. A perfect program and I wont spoil the ending but just to say it’s well worth watching. I am sure it will be repeated again -do try to see it if you can.
