Synopsis
Joanna Lumley spends nine days on Tsarabanjina, an uninhabited island near Madagascar, with only a basic survival kit. Armed with two knives, cooking equipment, and fishing gear, she attempts to fend for herself after completing a survival course with the Irish Guards. A film crew records her efforts, departing each night, leaving Lumley to document her experiences alone. The program, produced by Clive Tulloh, aired in 1994 as a light-hearted escape during the winter months.
