Susan Calman's Grand Day Out

Susan visits Cornwall, on the trail of romantic hero Ross Poldark. First up is the peaceful market town of Helston, which comes alive one day a year as residents take to the streets, dancing through the shops and houses to welcome spring. Next, she visits a cove at the southern end of Cornwall, a filming spot for the latest Poldark adaptation.

The comedian embarks on a quest through Somerset, hunting for signs of King Arthur. Susan's trip starts at Glastonbury Abbey, which claims to be the site of his tomb. Next, Susan's volunteering on England's longest heritage rail line - the West Somerset Railway. At a forge outside Glastonbury, the presenter hears how the most famous sword in history - Excalibur - might have been made. Then, she uncovers another local legend - John Haynes, he man behind the iconic Haynes car manuals.

Susan visits Dumfries House in Ayrshire, exploring its treasures, from Thomas Chippendale furniture to the estate's eight antique clocks, and wandering the walled garden and maze. She also recalls some of her favourite home and garden adventures from her joyful Grand Days Out.
