Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour BBC2, 9pm

In another of these celeb-mates-onholiday travel shows, Rob Rinder and Rylan Clark set off on the original package holiday - the ”Grand Tour”, which once upon a time referred to a cultural odyssey which was designed to turn young upper-class Brits into civilised, educated gentlemen (Jeremy Clarkson et al presumably never got that memo). Their first stop is Venice, where Rob conducts Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in the church where it was first performed. Rylan meanwhile discovers the hidden side of Venice’s famous Carnival, and both of them view one of the largest paintings on canvas in the world: Tintoretto’s Il Paradiso.
