Morecambe ice cream family to feature on new TV show about Britain's beaches

Paolo and Amelia Brucciani

A famous Morecambe ice cream making family will feature on a new TV show exploring the hidden history of Britain's beaches.

Britain By Beach is a Channel 4 programme airing on Saturdays at 8pm, hosted by presenter Anita Rani.

Morecambe will feature on the episode to go out on Saturday September 3, and will include the Bruccianis who run an ice cream cafe on Marine Road Central.

Anita visited the shop to interview Paolo Brucciani and his daughter Amelia, to chat to them about their fascinating family history.

Paolo's great grandfather Luigi Brucciani first came to England in 1893 as a teenager, then to Morecambe in the 1920s.

The cafe near the Winter Gardens opened in 1939, just before the Second World War, and has been there ever since.

It is believed the film crew interviewed other people from Morecambe too so make sure you watch to see who appears!

During the series, Anita will visit Cornwall, Kent, the North West and Wales, meeting with historians, artists and other residents.
