Susan Calman and her travels.

Would you consider yourself to be a tad judgemental, Dr Watson?

A tad?

I get the feeling you don't like Wee Nicki, Dr Watson.

Scotland isn't in a quandary it's in a quagmire.

For LovelyLady and that "Nicola who was a phenomenal leader", WHAT??!! Phenomenal leader of, well, a pub quiz team perhaps, or like the dreadful Corbyn/Abbott duo, perhaps a small committee checking bus times somewhere?

Masses of evidence points to 'Nicola' being a preening deluded incompetent, with some tasty scandals falling out of the woodwork. [NB - I have no influence over the Scottish Parliament, and have healthy doubts about all politicos, all badges].

I don't like him, either.

For Lesley and that ludicrous "no travel shows" -- C4 has run many years of informative Place in the Sun shows, with a variety of presenters, most of whom are fine.

It also has done some short series called "Travel Man . . .48 hours in XYZ", the most recent host is the witty Joe Lycett, each show with a different guest for a weekend away somewhere. They take a perhaps off the wall look at locations, but with example costings, and you get a decent flavour of wherever XYZ is. It benefits from Joe Lycett being far funnier than Susan Calman ever will.

Two. Bah!!!

I had the TV on last night, and saw the most beautiful place, with lovely old Joanna Lumley presenting the programme. 🙂
It was thoroughly enjoyable, because she knows how to take a back seat.

Then twice hairy chested men in kilts came on and started exercising.

Marvellous show!

LucyD - the fact that you prefer Jane McDonald to anyone says volumes about your (lack of ) judgement. We once walked out of a show of hers at half-time having got thoroughly fed up with all the relentless guff about "ma mum int Werkfeeeeeeld" (or wherever she is).

Calman is trying to introduce Cruises to folk who may never have considered such a holiday, and/or a few new locations to existing cruise fans. As such, she does a passable job, once you allow for the degrees of forced jollity that it entails. She must be getting decent viewing figures, as she's been commissioned for more shows.

Oh, and that "TV for stupid" by Sago, big chunks of TV ARE indeed for "the stupid", or perhaps for those with a severely reduced critical faculty. Hence the popularity of assorted Big Brothers, Love Islands, Made in . .half a Dozen places with wannabe 'celebs', and several shows with the odious and massively unfunny 'Keith Lemon'. Etc. Those viewers would probably not like your choices of Radio 3, wall to wall Andre Rieu, or similar fare? Oh, and DO BE CAREFUL walking round the average supermarket, you could catch something from the other customers, and the staff. Be careful out there.

Absolutely OldFrill, apologies.

Yes indeed Callistemon21, incorrect and apology further up.

I love the phrase ‘gets on my wick’ MissAdventure. I don’t think she’s very nice. She deliberately outed Sue Perkins when their relationship ended, it wasn’t her call to do that, it was Sue’s when she was ready. That wasn’t kind.

I don't think Susan Calman and Sue Perkins ever were in a relationship. Rhona Cameron accidentally outed Sue Perkins on TV.

Sasta - Sue Perkins wasn’t ’outed’ by Susan Calman and they were never reported to be in a relationship. Sue P was outed by her then girlfriend comedian Rhona Cameron, when their relationship ended. Sue P then had a long relationship with Anna Richardson. Susan Calman has been with her partner since 2002, marrying her in 2012.

Yes, absolutely right Georgesgran. Only just realised my error and posted an apology moments ago.

Huge apologies 🤦🏻‍♀️ for that misinformation, sorry to Susan. Just checked online:
‘ Years ago – just over a decade – Sue Perkins was outed live on television by her ex-girlfriend Rhona Cameron on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.’

I can’t watch anything she’s in I don’t find her at all funny and she’s to loud for me
I don’t like Jane McDonald I find her false, and I don’t like Joanna Lumley because her voice grates on me
So I don’t watch any Travel programmes.

Calman, sorry! And no, I’m not dyslexic as well.

Well to my shame I did once mis-identify Susan Colman on a panel show as Ruth Davidson, the then leader of the Scottish Conservative Party. I thought she was very witty for a politician. In my defence I am face blind.

Re the 1st Minister. Susan could be 1st Minister but Scotland is in a quandary without Nicola who was a phenomenal leader. Being PM would be an easier gig for Susan. Failing that Get in Nicola to clean the dross from the Palace of Westminster. Bet she’d ask the Lords to reapply for their jobs. What a film that could be!

I’m sorry .Susan, but I find you noisy and excessively over reactions, flinch making and although with a different presenter I would probably appreciate your programmes, after suffering your first programme I can not watch it again
Just because of the way you shout and act a fool.

FAKE NEWS

Sue Perkins's partner was and is not Susan Calman.

I didn't know she was Sue Perkins' partner.

I didn't realise she and Sue were partners either.

Someone I know worked with Sue and said she's lovely.

Agree,not at all funny,just irritating

Cannot stand her! Never watch anything she's on
