Joanna Lumley's Nile

I'm overdue other blogs after an interesting, although disheartening week after more research and help from a friend. I'm just watching an ITV programme featuring Joanna Lumley travelling the Nile and have noticed the number of times that she has mentioned Agatha Christie. It seems that a Briton cannot think of Cairo, or the Nile or pyraminds without a connection with Ms Christie. I'm sure she would love it.

It's not the only time that Ms Christie has been mentioned in connection with something not altogether expected. I'm currently reading a Paul Theroux book (details later) in which he is retracing a rail journey from London to India and he has mentioned Agathat Christie in connection with the Orient Express. She is all pervading in such interesting ways.
