Channel 5 to Air Volcano with Dara O Briain This Tuesday and Wednesday

For millennia, volcanoes have inspired both awe and fear. In this two-part series comedian Dara O Briain explores the immense power of Italy’s most active volcanoes.

There’s Stromboli, whose constant eruptions have earned its nickname ‘Lighthouse of the Mediterranean’. Or Mount Etna, where volcanic soils produce some of the best wines in the world and Vesuvius, where a devastating eruption thousands of years ago, buried a city and boiled the brains of its inhabitants.

With stunning visuals, gripping stories, and Dara’s trademark wit, this series uncovers the deadly force of volcanoes and their lasting impact on our planet.

The show airs on Channel 5 Tuesday 1st April and Wednesday 2nd April at 9:00 pm.
