Montenegro and Albania

BBC Two - Francesco's Mediterranean Voyage, Montenegro and Albania

Francesco da Mosto is sailing into the Bay of Kotor.

Francesco da Mosto sails into the Bay of Kotor where Venetian sailors knew they were leaving safe waters for the dangers of pirates.

On the next step of his sea voyage from Venice to Istanbul, Francesco da Mosto is sailing into the Bay of Kotor where Venetian sailors knew they were leaving safe waters for the dangers of pirates and the ships of rival powers.

So perhaps it's wise for Francesco and the crew to stop off at the magical little church of Santuario della madonna della scarpello, perched on a few rocks in the open sea. Here Venetian sailors prayed for a safe voyage or, if they were lucky, where they offered thanks to God for a safe return.

Many Venetian ships came to grief here - if not through attack then they fell victim to the elements. Off the coast of Montenegro, Francesco dives to a shipwreck deep on the ocean bed.

Next is Ulcinj - a pirate fortress town - where captives taken by pirates were held before being sold into slavery. Even today it has an air of menace. Francesco sees the original cells where Venetians unlucky enough to fall into the hands of the pirates were imprisoned.

The next stop is Durres on the coast of Albania - poor and facing an uncertain future after the all-too-recent rule of Communist dictator, Enver Hoxha. The capital city of Tirana is still the stuff of spies and Cold War intrigue but the colourful city mayor is pinning his hopes on a dramatic makeover of the city.

Model Jodie Kidd investigates her great-grandfathers, both of whom were awarded titles.

Series in which celebrities trace their ancestry. Model and TV presenter Jodie Kidd investigates her great-grandfathers, both of whom were awarded titles.

Series in which celebrities trace their ancestry.

Great-grandparents on both sides of model and TV presenter Jodie Kidd's family were awarded titles.  Her father's grandfather was Lord Beaverbrook, the legendary newspaper magnate who served in the British cabinet during both world wars. Her mother's grandfather was the mysterious Sir Rowland Hodge, a Newcastle shipbuilder.

Knowing next to nothing about Sir Rowland, Jodie first heads to Newcastle. She discovers he made a fortune building ships during the First World War, but later fled the city following a terrible scandal.  Puzzlingly, despite the scandal, Hodge was still awarded a title a few years later. Two astonishing letters in the Houses of Parliament archives, one from Sir Winston Churchill and the other from King George V, solve the riddle.

Jodie's other great-grandfather, Lord Beaverbrook, was Canadian and Jodie is keen to discover how deep her roots go on the other side of the Atlantic. Her investigations in Canada reveal that her family were embroiled in an infamous 19th century murder. She manages to trace her family back much further than she ever imagined, and discovers that she descends from some of the earliest European settlers to arrive in 17th century America.
