Funny Women Awards alum Sara Pascoe is back on the road hunting down the world’s most endangered jobs with three new episodes of her BBC Two show Last Woman on Earth.

Pascoe is set to visit Greece, Denmark, and Jordan in the second series of her travelogue, following on from ice carving in Finland, coconut-picking in Cuba, and a stint as a Stalin Museum guide in Georgia in the first series. This time the comedian’s jobs include Lego master builder and Dead Sea lifeguard.

Pascoe said: “Having been locked indoors like everyone else through the pandemic, I can’t wait to get back out into the world to see what’s changed, what’s changing and how rare and interesting jobs are being affected.

“We’ve got more fascinating people to meet this series and some equally exciting adventures.”

Laura Gibson, creative director of Talkback, said: “After the last two years TV travelogue presenter was almost put on the endangered jobs list.

“Thankfully, we are delighted to say that intrepid Sara is returning to explore more countries and fascinating professions.”
