BBC Two Commissioned the Doc Harry Clark Goes to Rome
A 60-minute BBC Two and iPlayer documentary, Harry Clark Goes to Rome (w/t), follows TV personality Harry Clark on a personal journey to the Vatican in search of answers about faith, identity and what it means to be a Catholic in modern Britain. Balancing humour, warmth and emotional honesty, the film captures Harry’s attempt to reconcile his traditional upbringing with contemporary life—while pursuing an ambitious goal: securing a meeting with the newly appointed Pope Leo XIV.Travelling to Rome with his mother, Harry retraces the steps of pilgrims, reflects on his beliefs and speaks with family, friends and church figures about the role of faith today. Alongside his spiritual journey runs a determined—and often comic—effort to reach the Pope through every possible channel.

Harry Clark said: “Faith has shaped who I am from a young age, so being able to travel to Rome with the BBC is something I never imagined possible. This feels like a once-in-a-lifetime journey, and I’m excited to share this news and every step of my epic adventure. I’m praying that it may even lead to meeting Pope Leo.” Daisy Scalchi, BBC’s Head of Religion and Ethics for television, says: “Harry brings a fresh, funny and very personal perspective to the conversation about faith. Audiences are in for some hilarious moments and jaw-dropping surprises along the way.” Karen Emsley, Executive Producer at CTVC, says: “This film captures an incredibly personal and powerful journey – not just to Rome, but deep into faith, family and identity. Harry’s warmth, honesty and remarkable determination mean you find yourself rooting for him right to the very end.”
