In this brand new three part travelogue, comedians Dara Ó Briain and Ed Byrne take to the road to explore South East Asia, one of the most vibrant places on the planet. Dara and Ed begin their journey in Malaysia, a vibrant multicultural nation thanks to its history as a staging post on the east--west trading routes.

Moving on to the mainland, Dara and Ed travel to the capital city of Bangkok, which recently became the most visited city in the world.

Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire

Chafing at the limitations of life as a Black man in New Orleans in the early 1900s, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat de Lioncourt's offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion. But Louis's intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat's newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement.
