AD ‘Tucci in Italy’ on National Geographic understands something profound about food. That recipes were never really just about the dish – but the people who carried them forward.

Because eventually the measurements survive longer than the voice that taught them. And one day you catch yourself recreating something perfectly – except for the feeling of being there when it was first made for you.

I think that’s why food carries so much emotion. It’s one of the few things we continue to rehearse long after the moment itself has disappeared. Not to preserve it exactly. More to stay close to it.

The dish is rarely the story.
It’s the thing left behind by one.

Tucci in Italy returns 12th May at 8pm on @natgeouk. Also streaming on @disneyplusuk.

AD There’s something special about how recipes travel and change with us. The new season of ‘Tucci in Italy’ celebrates stories across Italy, exploring how food connects culture, history and identity in the most beautiful way.

Risotto might come from Veneto in the north of Italy, but in Sardinia, we’ve made it our own, shaped by what our land has to offer, by family traditions and by the memories we create around the table.

For me, it brings back summers at home, my grandad returning from fishing and the simple dishes we’d share together. Food like this isn’t just about flavour, it’s about connection.

From chaotic builds to unforgettable reveals, Car S.O.S is full of moments that never get old.

Now, Tim and Fuzz are looking back at the highs, the challenges, and the stories that made the show what it is today. From early days with tight budgets and big ambitions to emotional restorations that meant everything to their owners, it’s a reminder of just how much goes into every single car.

The laughs, the pressure, and the passion - it’s all part of the journey.

Along the coast of Florida, one of the ocean’s most extraordinary migrations happens in plain sight.

Each year, tens of thousands of blacktip sharks cruise just metres from the shoreline, forming a moving “shark highway” through the shallows.

From above, the scale is staggering. Dark shapes streaming along the coast in huge numbers, often just 20–30 yards from unsuspecting swimmers.

They follow the seasons, heading south for warmer waters before returning north again, mirroring the patterns of human tourists.

In Austin, an ordinary bridge becomes the stage for one of nature’s most extraordinary spectacles.

In the heart of Austin, a man-made mistake became a wildlife miracle. What started as a tiny colony turned into the world’s largest urban bat roost after structural changes in the '80s created a concrete sanctuary.

Now, 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats emerge in swirling waves every evening, a spectacle you have to see to believe.

A train station reopens after three years of renovation. Less than a year later, disaster strikes when the canopy suddenly collapses.

Officials claimed the structure was untouched, but insiders tell a different story. Reports suggest added weight from metal and glass, alongside signs of corrosion and missing concrete at key supports.

Warnings were allegedly raised months before the incident, but no action was taken. An ageing structure, increased load, and overlooked risks combined with devastating consequences.

What really caused the collapse, and could it have been prevented?

Space Shuttle Columbia launched perfectly, but just seconds into liftoff, a piece of foam insulation broke away and changed everything.

Engineers had seen foam shed before, but no one realised the damage it could cause. Travelling at extreme speed, it struck Columbia’s left wing, tearing a hole in the protective heat shield.
What followed was catastrophic. As the shuttle re-entered Earth’s atmosphere, superheated gases penetrated the wing, silently destroying it from within.

A small oversight. A devastating consequence.

Tim and Fuzz take a closer look at a rare Lamborghini Silhouette, but the real challenge lies beneath the surface. The future of its iconic finish depends on one crucial question: is it original paint…or a modern respray?

From primer layers to microns of lacquer, every detail matters. If the wrong system was used decades ago, years of polishing could have worn the protection away, putting the entire paint job at risk. One wrong move now could mean a full respray and losing the car’s original character forever.

Golden, crisp, and steeped in centuries of tradition. In Sicily, the arancina is more than street food, it’s a story of culture, craft, and comfort in every bite.

As @stanleytucci explores the pinnacle of Sicilian Street food, he discovers that in Palermo it’s strictly arancina, feminine and deeply loved. In Catania and across eastern Sicily, it becomes arancino, masculine, with its own distinct recipe and identity!
