One of the DVD’s in heavy rotation chez fredlet is Girl Friday with Joanna Lumley. I saw this on telly years ago on Oxygen (back in the late to middle ages when I had satellite tv) and finally managed to find it on DVD some years later. Though I haven’t managed to track down the audio book she put out yet.
It has an accompanying book* which is much more in depth than what is on the video.
I really love that the BBC does this.
Its kind of what the Travel Channel used to be (and another that I watched to the exclusion of all else, save HGTV and Boomerang.) before it became the Poker Channel.

*I do this with Michael Palin’s stuff (80 days, Pole to Pole, etc) as well, watch the series over and over, get the books and read their associated travelog.
