Girl Friday is a 1994 BBC reality television special, starring Joanna Lumley in which she spends ten days on the desert island of Tsarabanjina near Madagascar.[1] Lumley wrote an accompanying book, also called Girl Friday, which was published by BBC Books.
The title is based on the idiom derived from Friday, a character in Robinson Crusoe.
Tsarabanjina[edit]
The programme was filmed on the Malagasy island of Tsarabanjina, off the northwest coast of Madagascar. Uninhabited at the time of broadcast, the island has since been partially developed into a luxury resort.[2]
