First he went to Italy, then to the Caribbean, and now his new ten-parter takes him to Africa — the continent he once covered as a news correspondent.
Clive said: “I was based in Johannesburg, working for the BBC, more than 20 years ago.
“It’s such an exciting, culturally rich and diverse continent and I’ve always wanted to come back to explore it more deeply.”
Airing next year, Clive Myrie’s African Adventures shows him visiting Morocco, where he will be riding with the Arab world’s first all-female motorcycle group.
In Tangier he jams with the country’s most famous Sufi musician, and he joins a footie academy in Nigeria.
While in South Africa, he works in vineyards, conservation centres and fruit farms.
But Ghana may be the most personal part of the trip, as it lets Clive dig deeper into his family’s roots.
He even takes part in a ceremony to the ancestors, with a chance to take on a Ghanaian name.
In 2023, Clive’s Italian Road Trip on BBC Two took him to locations including Lazio, Florence and Capri.
And his 2024 Caribbean Adventure for the channel saw him examine his Jamaican heritage, journeying from Cuba to the beaches of Barbados.
Clive was in trouble with the Beeb last year, apologising for not declaring extra earnings, but it looks like they’ve kissed and made up.
And just think of the air miles he’s racking up.
He’ll never have to pay for a flight again . . .
