ITV - Joanna Lumley's Silk Road Adventure (2018) Part 3

Joanna Lumley embarks 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.

This epic new four-part 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.

Part 3.

Joanna's Silk Road journey takes her to Iran. Throughout the country she meets people eager to share the culture and innovations of the Persian civilisation which, thanks to the Silk Road, spread far beyond modern-day Iran. From ancient water gardens created to be paradise on Earth, through desert cities, endless bazaars and majestic mosques, to Zoroastrianism and Yazd's wind towers, an early form of air conditioning, Joanna discovers a country brimming with hospitality and warmth.
