BBC Two - Clive Myrie's Italian Road Trip, Series 1, Venice

Clive takes to Venice’s canals to see if he could make it as a gondolier.

Clive searches out the secret corners of the famous floating city, meeting a count whose palace has become a luxury hotel and discovering a garden island visitors rarely find.

Clive loves Venice, but on this trip, he wants to learn what it’s like to be a local, outnumbered by tourists by over 200 to one. He hitches a lift with a rare female gondolier and learns the tough craft of steering with one oar, gets a lesson in glass blowing from his new friend Count Gibi, and finds out why Italian vegetables taste so great as he picks peppers on a farm in the Venetian lagoon.
