Series Summary Dangerous Jobs for Girls

What happens when high-flying career women, who think there's nothing they can't do, meet men who think women aren't up to the job? In the flood plains of Brazil, the forests of north-west Canada, the grasslands of South Africa, and the Southern oceans of Australia, there are jobs so dangerous that they've been done by men and men alone for generations, until now.

Each programme follows a team of women as they attempt to live, work and ultimately compete with the guys. Can the women beat the boys at their own game? Or are there really some jobs that are just too tough for girls?
