Just thought I'd bump this up so that Brits know it is on tonight. Here is the BBC's blurb on the programme. It looks like it could be very interesting indeed, and I could listen to Joanna Lumley's smooth chords all night.

For those of you who missed it, the programme can be viewed on line for the next 7 days. (U.K. only)
Little or no new information in it, but Joanna Lumley's customary panache makes it highly watchable.

"Bond also expects his ideal woman to make a Bearnaise sauce as well as she makes love.Although, presumably, not at the same time. Although I, of course, can. And do. Frequently" (Joanna Lumley)
I certainly love her.

That bit was quite bizarre but brilliant. Joanna 'come hither' Lumley is fantastic.

Have you ever thought that these kind of programmes are not only produced for fans like yourself but a broader audience who might not be as knowlegeable?

Yes, but in my defence I feel slightly ashamed for feeling that way.
