There is majesty in the air as Nick and Ange welcome TV royalty to Dish HQ. Dame Joanna Lumley was born in India, she attended boarding school in the UK before beginning a career in modelling in the 1960s. She transitioned into acting with early roles in Coronation Street and The New Avengers before becoming a household name as Patsy Stone in Absolutely Fabulous—a role that earned her three BAFTA awards. Joanna loves to travel and is celebrated for her TV documentaries exploring Japan, India, the Nile, the Silk Road, and the Trans-Siberian Railway. In film, she lent her voice to Tim Burton animations, including Corpse Bride and James & the Giant Peach, and starred in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street. Now, she brings her charm and wit to her latest series, Amandaland—a spin-off of Motherland available on BBC iPlayer now. Nick pours Joanna an elderflower pressé while Angela prepares parsnip gnocchi with sage & garlic mushrooms. The experts at Waitrose pair this with an Italian white wine, La Monetta Gavi Piedmont. Joanna Lumley takes us behind the scenes working on Absolutely Fabulous, her tips on the secret to long lasting love, being a Valentine’s prankster plus the juicy details of a memorable kissing scene with a famous actor.
