Volcano with Dara O Briain: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

For millennia, volcanoes have inspired both awe and fear. In this two-part series comedian and presenter Dara Ó 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'. 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.
