What is "Japan with Sue Perkins"?



"Japan with Sue Perkins" came up on Google Trends on Japan, so I have done a quick research on it!

First, I've found the above video, Inside Japan's princess cafe! | Japan With Sue Perkins - BBC on BBC YouTube channel.


FYI: I think I've found Lost in Real Life Translation in the video.
3:10
Sue Perkins: "Would you be able to talk to a girl in the street the way you talk to the maid?"
Japanese Man: "してはいけないんで、ルールなんで、ルールなんでしないですね"(We must not do that because there is a rule, I wouldn't do that because of the rule.)

I think what Sue meant was if he would be able to talk to girls, in general, in the street. But I can guess from his answer that the translator/interpreter asked him if he could (allowed) to talk to the maid girl in the street when she's not working.
