In From Venice to Istanbul the celebrity chef, restaurateur and TV presenter journeys through the heart of Greece to the Black Sea, taking in the flavours of Croatia and savouring the oriental influences of Turkish food.

Appetite for travel still not satisfied? Then take an odyssey with the divine Joanna Lumley (who you can also enjoy in the hilarious Absolutely Fabulous on BritBox) in Joanna Lumley’s India and Joanna Lumley’s Silk Road Adventure, both premiering on Thursday, 25 November.

In Joanna Lumley’s India, the actress returns to the land of her birth to celebrate the country and walk in her family’s footsteps. This three-part documentary follows her as she visits remote locations, bustling cities and beautiful natural landscapes, meeting the incredible people of India along the way.

Described as her grandest and most challenging journey yet, Joanna Lumley’s Silk Road Adventure takes our intrepid traveller from Venice to the Chinese border, tracing the route of the ancient Silk Road. Travel with Joanna through gorgeous locations as she follows in the footsteps of merchants, conquerors, kings and pilgrims.
