If you haven't seen this show, it's an American version of the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, where retired celebrities explore different possible locations for them to live, and encounter cultural differences to 'humorous' effect...
In Better late than Never, there are 4 American celebrities plus a comedian who accompanies them as a 'fixer' and stooge for their pranks.
There's a former American footballer, William Shatner from 'Star Trek', Henry Winkler and George Foreman (of boxing and grills fame)
In the programmes that I saw they were in Japan and Hong Kong, and although they are a little 'staged' they contain some useful captioned information and background to life in Tokyo: bullet trains, etiquette, food, capsule hotels etc. which would make useful low-level information for a unit on Japan. They're generally suitable for KS3 age range, but you might want to watch first as my opinion on what's suitable might not be yours... They're definitely not to be taken too seriously though...
