 KINGDOM OF THUNDER DRAGON BBC1, Tues   
 It should have been absolutely fabulous
 but Joanna Lumley's trek through the   
 mysterious kingdom of Bhutan was about 
 as dull as a wet weekend in Wilmcote.  
                                        
 Even stunning scenery couldn't rescue  
 her disconnected ramblings which were  
 surely the product of altitude sickness
                                        
 Following in the footsteps of her      
 infinitely more interesting forebears, 
 Joanna's script sounded like a lift    
 from one of the Famous Five books.     
                                        
 And at end of 70 tedious minutes we    
 were none the wiser. As a travelling   
 companion, give me Michael Palin anyday
