A three part series examining different aspects of Noel Coward's fascinating life and career. Coward was a famously keen traveller, and this programme looks at his voyages around the world, particularly the journeys to the Far East which inspired a brace of songs such as Mad Dogs and Englishmen. Original home footage shot by Coward and his travelling companion earl Amherst reveals their adventures in Japan, Peking and Ceylon in the 1930's. With contributions from Sir John Mills, Sir John Gielgud, Judy Campbell and Richard Attenborough.
