Another Grand Adventure? Oh, Go On Then!
Right, let's talk Susan Calman's Grand Day Out series 2. Did anyone else get completely sucked in? I did. I'm not ashamed to admit it.
It's basically comfort TV in a campervan. What's not to love? Except, maybe, one tiny little thing... But we'll get to that.
The Joy of a Staycation
Susan Calman, our bubbly guide, just radiates enthusiasm. She explores the UK in her trusty campervan, Helen. Each episode feels like a warm hug.
Honestly, who needs fancy holidays abroad? Britain is gorgeous. Susan proves it week after week, with a smile and a pun.
From stunning coastlines to historical landmarks, it's a proper feast for the eyes. I secretly want a campervan now.
All Aboard for Fun! (Mostly)
The sheer variety of activities is impressive. One minute, she's abseiling down a cliff. The next, she's learning to make cheese.
And the people she meets! Always interesting, always up for a chat. It's like eavesdropping on the nicest conversation ever.
You just know she's having a whale of a time. And that, my friends, is infectious.
Unpopular Opinion Alert!
Okay, here's where I might get some flak. Ready? I think some episodes are… a bit too much.
Don't get me wrong, Susan is brilliant. But sometimes, the relentless positivity is exhausting. It's like being stuck in a room with a relentlessly cheerful puppy. Adorable, but tiring.
I need a little bit of grit! Just a touch of rain on the parade, if you will. Does anyone else feel this way?
Helen: More Than Just a Campervan
Let's not forget Helen, the campervan. She's practically a character in her own right.
I love seeing her navigate those tiny country lanes. You just know there were a few near misses. We just don’t see them!
Helen deserves a medal, frankly. Or at least a good wash and wax.
The Verdict? Still a Grand Day Out!
Despite my tiny, probably unreasonable, gripe, I adore this show. It's feel-good TV at its finest.
Susan Calman's passion for the UK is undeniable. She makes you want to pack your bags and explore your own backyard.
So, pour yourself a cuppa, settle in, and enjoy the ride. Even if it is relentlessly sunny.
A Few Favourite Moments (Spoiler Alert!)
The episode in Cornwall was a standout for me. That coastline is breathtaking.
And the one where she learned to play the bagpipes? Hilarious! Although, maybe not for the neighbors.
Okay, one last thought. If *Susan Calman* ever needs a co-driver, I'm available. Just saying.
Final Thoughts: More Please!
So, bring on series 3! More adventures, more silly puns, more Helen the campervan.
Just maybe, a tiny bit less sunshine? Pretty please?
Because even on a "grand day out," a little cloud cover can be refreshing.
