Last Chance to See – new BBC2 series
Co-presented by Mark & Stephen Fry

Mark has joined forces with Stephen Fry to present a new BBC-tv series about endangered species - as inspired by the best-selling book which Mark wrote some 20 years ago with Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See.

The series will include some of the old stars from the book, and it will introduce us to many new ones that have inevitably joined the ever-expanding cast of endangered species.

Updating the animals’ stories and explaining their ecological predicaments, Mark and Stephen will face (and they already have) a catalogue of adventures. The amazing, often eccentric human characters whose determination was all that kept the animals from going extinct all those years ago have still been around.

Filming began in late 2007 in the Amazon, continued through Kenya, Uganda, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, New Zealand, Baja California in Mexico, Malaysia and Indonesia (see Mark's blogs).

A BBC Wales and West Park Pictures co-venture, Last Chance to See will be broadcast on BBC2 in autumn.
