Follow in the footsteps of Joanna Lumley to be repeated on BBC2 Mon 29 Dec 6.15pm
TV celebrity Joanna Lumley recently travelled above the Arctic Circle in Norway to fulfill a life long dream of seeing the Northern Lights. Her visit was filmed by the BBC and when first shown, attracted 5.9 million viewers.
Due to the popularity of the programme BBC2 will show it again on Monday 29 December at 6.15pm.
Phil's comment: Make sure you set the Sky Plus or the Video. The last time this programme ran we experienced a huge surge in demand for holidays and short breaks featuring the Northern Lights and activities you can enjoy in Arctic Norway.
