Series 2:
This new series sees Ross travelling the world once again, taking in the sights (but mainly the sounds) of Australia, Italy, Egypt and Belgium by day, and entertaining the locals with his microphone by night.
In the first episode, Ross travels to Brussels... a city with a reputation a little on the dull side. But he soon finds out that with chocolate on every corner, a puzzling statue of an incontinent child, and the honour of being associated with the always-exciting Jean-Claude Van Damme, Brussels might be his kind of city after all...

In Egypt, Ross performs in a Bedoin tent by firelight in the middle of the desert… the Bedoins aren't really sure why he's there, but the amount of Bedoin tea they make him drink shows he is welcome.

In Australia, Ross makes the acquaintance of some drunks who are convinced he is a spy...

...and in Italy, a failed attempt to communicate in Italian earns him new friends.
