The Great British Sewing Bee: Sara Pascoe reveals twist

Sara Pascoe’s career so far has been surrounded by comedy, appearing on the like of TV shows such as 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, QI and Taskmaster. However, she is set to take on another series of the hit BBC Two show Last Woman on Earth, where she learns how to do even more of the world’s most endangered jobs. During her time on the series, Sara found herself caught up in a police raid during a drug bust.

During the new series, Sara learns jobs such as Dead Sea lifeguarding in Jordan to being a Lego Master Builder in Denmark.

However, during her time filming the series, she ran into some trouble when they filmed in Christiania just hours after it was raided by the police.

Sara explained: “Yes, and they raided us when we were there actually, we saw them running through after a couple of guys.

“So it’s this thing where you walk through and you go ‘Okay, all these people are out selling weed’, and they were aware that we were filming so some people didn’t want to be on screen.

“So it’s this thing where you walk through and you go ‘Okay, all these people are out selling weed’, and they were aware that we were filming so some people didn’t want to be on screen.

“We saw police running after people. So basically the stallholders, when the police come, they quickly hide everything, so everything’s very quick to dismantle it.

“And if they’re not quick enough and the police see you with products and they can chase you.”

Touching on why people continue to sell drugs when they are at risk of being arrested, Sara explained it was a way to get what they wanted, which was “decriminalisation”.

When discussing how she would describe her time on the second series, she added: “I think it’s a really interesting way of finding out about other countries.

“Because it’s not a comedian goes on holiday, and it’s not quite, ‘Here’s an encyclopaedia about the country Greece,’ it’s halfway between the two.

“It’s meeting interesting people, finding out about how countries have changed, and the really huge thing of where they might be going in the future and how that affects individuals and their jobs.”

Sara also revealed what had surprised her most about the region, admitting: “The Dead Sea is getting so much smaller because of the heat rising, that was really terrifying to see.

“The Dead Sea is shrinking by a meter every year. There are these hotels that used to be on the beach and then are now up a hill because the sea’s dried up so much.

“And then realising that’s the problem with, any kind of political miscommunication. These things are global issues, aren’t they?

“They’re not just one country’s problem.”
