Animals

Susan Calman explains her love of animals and why they make her happy. And not just cats, you know. From 2019.

Taking part in Âé¶¹Éç 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 waxes lyrical about her love for animals.

She may have previously mentioned (once or twice) that she’s quite partial to cats, but her affections aren’t limited to the feline world.

From the dogs in her local park, via the birds that visit her garden, to grumpy Icelandic Ponies (well, sort of), Susan adores them all.

Written by Susan Calman and Jon Hunter.

Producer: Lyndsay Fenner

A Somethin’ Else production for Âé¶¹Éç Radio 4, first broadcast in December 2019.
