Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out
TRAVELOGUE 8PM, CHANNEL 5
Susan’s UK adventure in her trusty campervan ‘Helen Mirren’ continues as this week she explores rural Shropshire. After consulting her maps at picturesque Stokesay Castle, she heads off to Ironbridge to marvel at the world’s first iron bridge, built in 1779, before later exploring the beautiful town of Ludlow, where she meets super-cute hedgehogs being cared for by the charity Pricklebums. But it’s getting the chance to drive a steam train that really gets her excited. ‘This has been a childhood dream of mine!’ beams Susan as she gets behind the controls at Cambrian Heritage Railways. ★★★★ TL
