Episode 2 of 4

Susan Calman explores the things in her life that bring her true happiness. This times it's television. From 2019.

Taking part in BBC TV's Strictly Come Dancing made Susan Calman happy.

Completely, totally happy. And having lived with anxiety for so long, it was something of a surprise to discover something new that gave her feelings of joy.

So, Susan has set out to explore and explain the other things in life that bring her happiness..

Aided and abetted by her studio audience and wife Lee, Susan presents a love letter to the gogglebox.

From the enormous rented behemoth of her childhood through to the modern day box-set you can watch on your phone anywhere you like, TV has been an ever-present comfort and teacher for her.

Written by Susan Calman and Jon Hunter.

Producer: Lyndsay Fenner

A Somethin’ Else production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in November 2019.
