The final installment of the travel show "Gyakuryu! Shiraberu Toraberu" ("Against the Current! Investigating and Traveling"; TV Tokyo, Mon., 8 p.m.) spends the bulk of its two-hour running time in the Pashmina region of Nepal, which is famous for its cashmere wool. This wool is produced by a specific species of goat that can only be found deep in the Himalayas, and the reporters go to a great deal of trouble to find these animals.
The program also visits Peru to check out the habitat of another animal, the alpaca, which is popular in Japan thanks to a commercial featuring the llamalike quadruped. Finally, it's off to Turkey and a tomato cannery that exports the bulk of its product to Japan.
TV commercial queen Aya Ueto makes her NHK drama debut in "Junen Saki mo Kimi ni Koi Shite" ("Even in 10 Years I Will Love You"; NHK-G, Sat., 10 p.m.) as Rika, a young editor who is successful at work but unlucky in love . . . so far.
