Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

The age of the travel documentary is far from dead just because Michael Palin has stopped wandering the globe and giving fascinating insights to a world beyond the window and the clear glass of apathy that stops some from going past what they know and wish to experience. The genre hasn’t even begun to creak at the knees and suffer from the first signs of premature ageing and won’t do whilst there are people such as Joanna Lumley willing to back to the U.S.S.R and take the viewer on a trip through three countries and whole lot of miles in Joanna Lumley’s Trans-Siberian Adventure.
