Pembrokeshire is in the tv spotlight once again this week as popular comedian and presenter Susan Calman makes a visit to sample some seaside pleasures.
Susan became a firm fan of the county’s charms last year when she called in with her vintage campervan for her Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out series.
Now she’s back with a second series of Susan Calman’s Grand Week by the Sea, which will be screened on Channel 5 from Monday August 1 to Friday August 5.
Each day, she’s in a different seaside resort, enjoying her holiday with her customary joy and enthusiasm as she celebrates some of the best of the British seaside, meeting celebrity friends and locals along the way.
Thursday’s Episode Four sees Susan arriving in Tenby for a town tour in style, as a passenger in a tuk tuk.
She meets Tenby’s only female skipper who invites her on a sea-angling trip before heading to Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo to ride on the vintage funfair, and visiting a unique glamping site where visitors can stay in a luxurious UFO.
