Joanna Lumley is Catwoman
Animal lover Joanna Lumley is turning cat detective, to explore the unique relationship we have with our feline friends in a brand new, two-part series for ITV1.
As she travels the world, Joanna meets the people who have a unique relationship with cats. She explores how such an unlikely partnership first began and why the cat stirs such conflicting emotions in us.
On her journey, Joanna find out how cats can be used as therapy, uncovers the barbaric ways we have tortured them over the past 1000 years and explores the effects our breeding methods are having. She also meets the cats themselves, from domestic tabbys and show cats, to wild cheetahs and the lions who have been kept as pets.
Joanna’s travels include Egypt, Japan, Namibia, North America, Belize and Mexico as she seeks to find out why cats stir such different responses in different cultures.
From the Land of the Pharaohs where cats run wild in the streets, to the Far East where cats have clothes specially made for them, Joanna uncovers the history behind how these wild creatures have gradually became the number one pet in the Western world.

Dear Miss Lumley,
I too am a cat woman. I was privileged to help out at a cattery and rescue centre in Rickmansworth for 6 years, until my husband and I had to move to Lincolnshire. The rescue side gave me a few sleepless nights, and many tears at the cruelty and neglect! (I miss it so much.!) But once in Juliets hands they were loved and cared for until they recovered. I enjoyed your “Catwoman” programme so much. The cats and kittens were gorgeous, how I would have been in my glory with these purring balls of fur. But the “Big Cats” were stunning, especially the ones pictured with you. How lovely to be that close to wild creatures and be able to touch them, I would have been in tears, sheer pleasure and privilege. Thank you for a lovely programme. Can we have more please, with you?
yours, a fellow catwoman
Ellen Bines.
