National treasure Joanna Lumley goes on a ten-song musical journey this week in Tracks of My Years.

With over 60 years in showbusiness, Joanna has created many memorable screen characters over the years, most notably Purdey in The Avengers and Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous. But Joanna's also been a successful model, humanitarian and documentarian, and in recent years she's garnered acclaim for a series of travelogues on ITV1.

Her latest series - which starts in July - is Joanna Lumley鈥檚 Spice Trail Adventure, a four-part series which sees her explore the world鈥檚 greatest spice continents, discovering the insights of the centuries-old spice trade and its lasting impacts on the world. The series also acknowledges the dark side of the spices industry rooted in colonialism and its lasting impacts.

Joanna's next two tracks are by The Hollies and Jackie Wilson.

There are also more audio nuggets from the 成人快手 Archive in Vernon's Vault, plus the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top and a brand new Record and Album of the Week.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you: email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten to the Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk.
