Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out

Susan takes in the wonders of Worcestershire, The Malvern Hills and the Midlands. From speed records to time travel, she explores history, speed, luxury, canals - and the world's smallest theatre!

Susan tours the north of England, a land forever linked to Wallace and Gromit, sticking to Yorkshire, where stunning Dales scenery, friendly faces and surprising local traditions await.

The presenter explores the Cotswolds, famously the inspiration for romantic novelist, Jilly Cooper. She starts in Bourton-on-the-Water, where ice creams are delivered with a side of vintage style. Then, in Tewkesbury, site of one of the most significant battles of the 15th century Wars of the Roses, Susan finds people making banners commemorating those who fought.
