Channel 4 has released a first-look clip from this week\u2019s Extraordinary Escapes, which sees presenter Sandi Toksvig take her latest travel buddy Sunetra Sarker out to Norfolk for a taste of adventure.<\/p>\n

Each week, the former Bake Off host is joined by a different celebrity companion and aims to show them some of the exciting lesser known attractions dotted all over the country.<\/p>\n

For Sarker, who will be known to viewers from her acting roles in Casualty and Ackley Bridge, she has lined up an itinerary that involves journeying deep into the Broads National Park, with stops including an ancient chapel and Victorian pump house.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll also be taking a boat trip from Blakeney Point to enjoy some seal spotting, as the region has become home to a substantial population of the adorable marine mammals.<\/p>

\u201cIn the mid-\u201980s, there were only a handful of seals here,\u201d explains Toksvig. \u201cNow, over 3,000 pups are born at Blakeney every year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sight of them gets Sarker\u2019s imagination whirring, as she breaks out into her best impression of legendary broadcaster and nature expert Sir David Attenborough. Check out the exclusive clip below.<\/p>\n\n\u201cAll of a sudden, I feel like I\u2019m David Attenborough,\u201d says Sarker, before mimicking the documentarian\u2019s distinctive style of narration. \u201cHere they lie, safe in their habitat, knowing that nobody is watching what they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\nToksvig takes her enthusiasm as evidence that she has successfully \u201couted\u201d the more outdoorsy side of Sarker\u2019s personality, allowing her to chalk up another success for her celebrity tourism programme.<\/p>\nExtraordinary Escapes continues on Channel 4 at 9pm on Thursday 24th February.
