'I'm embarking on a 7000-mile journey following the route of the legendary Silk Road, that throughout history helped spread all manner of foods, inventions and cultures across Asia and Europe...my most adventurous and exotic journey yet.' - Joanna Lumley

This epic new series is Joanna Lumley's grandest and most challenging journey yet, a breath-taking odyssey from Venice to the Chinese border along the veins of the ancient Silk Road.

A perilous network of paths, the Silk Road shaped the modern world, bringing silk, printing, spices, gunpowder, and many other things, to the West. Joanna's adventure will see her travel through a breath-taking array of fabulous landscapes as she crosses continents, deserts, mountains and steppe, boldly following in the footsteps of the merchants, conquerors, kings and pilgrims who once lived and died along this route.

Three-part ITV travel series following Joanna Lumley as she explores Japan. In her 2000-mile, cultural journey around the country's four main islands, the English actress tours the cities of Tokyo, Kyoto and Sapporo as well as the islands of Shikoku and Kyushu. On her travels, she meets a trainee geisha, takes a trip on the Shinkansen, learns about Japanese Buddhism, takes in some of the country's nightlife and visits the sites of the atomic bombings on Fukushima and Nagasaki.

All five series, plus the Christmas specials, of Jennifer Saunder's Emmy and BAFTA award-winning television show. Joanna Lumley stars as Patsy, the Bollinger-swigging fashion writer; Saunders plays Edina, the terminally-adolescent magazine editor; and Julia Sawalha appears as Saffron, Edina's prudish daughter. June Whitfield also makes an appearance, teetering on the edge of dementia, as Edina's mother.

Peter Bogdanovich directs and co-writes this comedy starring Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston and Imogen Poots. One of prostitute Isabella Patterson (Poots)'s clients is Broadway director Arnold Albertson (Wilson). When she auditions for one of his plays things get complicated, especially since he is married to the star of the production Delta Simmons (Kathryn Hahn). The situation only gets more out of hand when Isabella becomes involved with her therapist Jane Claremont (Aniston)'s boyfriend, playwright Joshua Fleet (Will Forte). The cast also includes Rhys Ifans, Cybill Shepherd, Illeana Douglas and Joanna Lumley. Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach are among the film's executive producers.

Three special episodes of Jennifer Saunder's sitcom marking the 20th anniversary since the series began. Saunders stars as Edina 'Eddie' Monsoon, a PR company owner who continually behaves like a teenager, while her daughter, Saffron (Julia Sawalha), is mature beyond her years. Eddie's best friend is aging former model Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley) who drinks and smokes non-stop. June Whitfield also stars as Eddie's elderly mother and Jane Horrocks plays Eddie's ditsy personal assistant, Bubbles. In 'Identity' Patsy comes face-to-face with her drug dealer who she owes thousands of pounds. Eddie tries to help her come up with the money but Patsy may have to reveal her true age in the process. In 'Job' Eddie arranges for French actress Jeanne Durand (Lindsay Duncan) to give a concert at the Royal Albert Hall but difficulties arise with the realisation that the star can't actually sing. In 'Olympics' the London Olympics are fast-approaching and Eddie is finally beginning to feel the effects of aging. When she finds an invitation for an exclusive party it brings her closer to her fashion idol and the Olympic Stadium.

When ‘Lady’ Sandra Abbott discovers that her husband of forty years is having an affair with her best friend, she seeks refuge with her estranged, older sister Bif.

The two could not be more different - Sandra is a fish out of water next to her outspoken, serial dating, free-spirited sibling. But different is just what Sandra needs and she reluctantly lets Bif drag her along to her community dance class, where gradually she starts finding her feet... and romance.

In this hilarious and heart-warming modern comedy, a colourful group of defiant and energetic ‘baby boomers’ show Sandra that retirement is only the beginning, and that divorce might just give her a whole new lease of life - and love.

Animated adventure from popular director Tim Burton. Set in a 19th century European village, the film follows the story of Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter), while his real bride, Victoria (Emily Watson), waits bereft in the land of the living.

Though life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colourful than his strict Victorian upbringing, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world, or the next, that can keep him away from his one true love.

In the opening chapters the author records his father Toby's remarkable career in PR. This began just before World War II with Toby becoming responsible for taking the initiative away from Germany's propoganda machine controlled by the well organized and funded Nazi party. After the war Toby was one of the first political spin-doctors, worked for the Conservative Party and later rose to be the doyen of commercial and international PR in the UK. Later in the book, Donough picks up his own story and this really comes to life when he joins the Irish Guards. He then treats us to four years of amusing military recollections. On leaving, the author started civilian work in a London that is just beginning to come alive - the Swinging Sixties have arrived. Like his father he goes into PR and records a memoir of the most colourful people of the period. The glamorous certainly feature - Joanna Lumley, Jacqueline Bisset and Charlotte Rampling are just some. His involvement in the opening of the trendiest nightclub of the period, Sibylla's, with its guest list of all the greats of rock n' roll is another seminal moment.

With a memorable scene in a nudist colony. In 'The Pink Panther Strikes Again' (1976) the French detective (Sellers) has stumbled his way up to the position of Chief Inspector, displacing his long-suffering boss Inspector Dreyfuss (Herbert Lom), who has turned to a life of crime in an effort to bump him off. Dreyfuss kidnaps the inventor of a death ray and demands the sacrifice of Clouseau in return. Clouseau then has to hide in many disguises in order to capture Dreyfuss and the machine and save himself and the world! 'The Revenge of the Pink Panther' (1978) finds Inspector Clouseau surviving an assassination attempt but he then hides from the world and now everyone think he's dead. Using this cover story he takes the opportunity to continue his investigations alone. The last Pink Panther film Sellers made before his death. Finally, in 'Trail of the Pink Panther' (1982) a journalist (Joanne Lumley) is interviewing people who came into contact with the late Inspector Clouseau for an article in tribute to the great detective. Made two years after Peter Sellers' death, and featuring a string of outtakes from the earlier Pink Panther films.

Ben (Reece Buttery) dreads staying at his gran (Julia McKenzie)'s house when his mum and dad drop him off, expecting the usual boring games of scrabble and knitting. But on his latest visit, his gran reveals a fascinating secret - that she was once a renowned jewel thief known as the 'Black Cat' - and shatters Ben's image of his boring old relative.

Pride and Prejudice - An elegant tableau revolving around the five Bennett daughters, including clever, strong-spirited Elizabeth. Austen's masterpiece is a study of love, loss and snobbery. Sense and Sensibility - The engaging story of sisters Elinor and Marianne, whose lives are turned upside down when they are left almost penniless following the death of their father. Two men with whom the sisters form attachments present more unforeseen challenges along the way.

Emma Woodhouse, self-appointed meddling matchmaker, stands to lose out on love herself if she isn't careful. Persuasion - In part autobiographical, Persuasion has a quieter sense of humour, and takes a more serious tone, than some of Austen's other novels. Anne Elliot is revisited by her ex-fiancee, coinciding with a downturn in her family's fortunes, and has some choices to make. Northanger Abbey - Young and susceptible, Catherine Morland expects dark secrets and many dangers to be lurking in the hidden recesses of Northanger Abbey. In fact, the real obstacles lying in her path are more mundane but just as serious as her imagined horrors. The collection also includes 2 Bonus CDs including The Watsons, an early Austen short story, and a collection of letters. Titles read by highly-acclaimed British actresses including Anna Massey, Harriet Walter and Joanna Lumley.
