Brian Sewell's Grand Tour

In this acclaimed 10 part series, Britain's best-known art critic, Brian Sewell, follows in the footsteps of young 18th century English aristocrats whose education was incomplete without a Grand Tour of Italy.  Re-tracing the route, Sewell's epic journey takes him, by various means, through Rome, Florence, Venice, Naples and more as he explores the history of ancient Rome and Renaissance Italy.

'Sewell, once again, has managed to be totally unlike anybody else on television.' - Daily Telegraph

'Sewell is in danger of becoming a national treasure.  It is his unpredictability that makes him such an arresting presenter.' - The Times
