Extraordinary Escapes with Sandi Toksvig - Season 2
Season 2
A second six-part series will see broadcaster and national treasure Sandi Toksvig joined by a handful of the nation's most fascinating and funny women as they explore more of the UK's wildest, most remote, and beautifully designed holiday digs.
Sandi will once again be accompanied by some of the best names from her little black book of travel pals – namely acclaimed actresses Sue Johnston and Sunetra Sarker, funny women Sarah Millican, Sara Pascoe and Jenny Éclair and psychotherapist and author Phillipa Perry.
Episodes
Devon with Sarah Millican
In Devon, stand-up comedian and author Sarah Millican kicks off the series as she and Sandi enjoy a hillside retreat and a gong bath in a private spa.
Norfolk with Sunetra Sarker
Sunetra Sarker joins Sandi to enjoy the great outdoors in Norfolk. They visit an old mill keeper's cottage, go seal spotting and stay in a Victorian pump house
Cornwall with Sue Johnston
Actress Sue Johnston joins Sandi for a Cornish adventure. The pair begin by visiting a magnificently designed modernist beach house in an isolated plot overlooking Praa Sands, making the most of their seafront location with a game of boules and fresh mussels for dinner. Moving on, Sue falls in love with a fairy-tale cottage in the woods and their final destination is a former shepherd's hut transformed into a stunning retreat on an alpaca farm
Scotland's East Coast with Sara Pascoe
Sandi whisks panel show host, comedian and friend Sara Pascoe away on a trip to the wilds of Scotland's east coast, where they connect with nature and indulge in Sara's love of animals. They visit a magical forest cabin in Glen Dye, an award-winning architectural home in the East Neuk of Fife and a 16th-century castle on Glen Island.
Scotland's Highlands with Philippa Perry
Sandi escapes to Scotland's Highlands and Islands with psychotherapist and author Philippa Perry. Their first stop is the tiny island of Eilean Shona, where Sandi treats Philippa to a seriously off-grid stay in a renovated Victorian schoolhouse. They cook freshly caught hand-dived scallops on an open fire, but it's the brilliant white sands of the island's beach that capture Sandi's heart. The pair take a ferry to an imaginatively designed two-person hideaway on the isolated peninsula of Knoydart, then later stay in an extravagant and utterly flamboyant artist-owned home in Callander.
Wales with Jenny Eclair
Sandi and Jenny Eclair escape to Wales, the Wye Valley and the glorious Malvern Hills, where they visit a century-old flatpack house, a converted fruit store, and a hovering home in the Brecon Beacons
