EP1 Tokyo Jan 01, 2007

Traveller Toby Amies discovers a new generation of Tokyoites who are rejecting a life of salary-man slavery and transforming their city into a fantasy theme park. What is Tokyo? Whatever they want it to be.

EP2 Istanbul Jan 01, 2007

Waking up from a century in the doldrums, the city that invented the concept of East meets West is doing what it does best - taking the best of both worlds and creating something greater than the sum of its parts. Traveller Asha Gill hooks up with six of its citizens to find out why this 2000 year-old-city is suddenly back on the radar again.

EP3 Bangkok Jan 01, 2007

An Asian supercapital, a labyrinth, and a traffic jam rolled into one, Bangkok is a mash of the contemporary and the traditional, the sacred and the profane. Traveller Toby Amies goes bush-whacking in the ultimate man-made jungle.

EP4 Dublin Jan 01, 2007

Charming provincial backwater or thriving, multicultural metropolis? Traveller Asha Gill hooks up with a six-pack of Dubliners to find out why everyone’s talking up the Irish capital as Europe’s hottest ticket.

EP5 Taipei Jan 01, 2007

Traveller Asha Gill explores the fast-paced capital of Taiwan, a city shaping a new identity from its deep-rooted Chinese traditions, unique modern history and the remnants of its aboriginal past.

EP6 Rio De Janeiro Jan 01, 2007

Shamelessly driven by the pursuit and celebration of beauty, Rio has nothing to prove in the good looks department. Its best assets are blatantly obvious: the beach, the mountains, the sun and its citizens. Traveller Toby Amies takes the pulse of the Marvellous City in the lead-up to Carnival.

EP7 Perth Jan 01, 2007

A frontier town with a boom-and-bust mentality, Perth likes to brag it has more millionaires per head than anywhere else on earth. Traveller Asha Gill hooks up with a handful of locals who’ve found a slice of the good life in one of the most isolated cities on earth.

EP8 Miami Jan 01, 2007

It took just a decade for Miami to morph from a capital of sleaze and a haven for sun wrinkled retirees into the hippest city in the US. Traveller Asha Gill takes a deep breath and plunges into the de facto capital of Latin America.

Synopsis

Lonely Planet Six Degrees is Lonely Planet's flagship travel show, hosted by Asha Gill and Toby Amies. The show is centered on unique people living within locations, rather than simply famous tourist attractions, with one of the hosts meeting with one contact in a specific country, who in turn leads them to another contact, and so on, following the idea of six degrees of separation. In the first season Asha travelled to Mumbai, Buenos Aires, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, Auckland, Cape Town, London, and Singapore; while Toby travelled to Sydney, New York, Havana, Hong Kong, Berlin, San Francisco, Mexico City, and Paris. The series ran for 3 consecutive seasons and showed on Discovery Networks and dozens other international channels.
