Susan Calman at the Edinburgh International Book Festival

The popular broadcaster, talented comedian and, as she recently demonstrated on Strictly, very nifty ballroom dancer is on a mission. With a culture of hatred and vitriol brewing in public and on social media, how can we stimulate more kindness in everyone’s daily lives? Susan Calman’s answer is Sunny Side Up: A Story of Kindness and Joy; her personal campaign to celebrate a spirit of community. Chaired by Lee Randall.

I am a 68 year old white heterosexual male and Susan is my new hero. I first watched her on QI and have since watched a number of things she is involved with. Susan makes you proud to be a human being.

I'm 40, but otherwise I feel exactly the same.

[@cheshirelasslani3939]

Yes, I’m crying too remembering the kindness I received from a couple standing in line behind me at the ticket counter at the airport. My father had suddenly died and I had to fly home to Honolulu, just graduated from high school and was on the Mainland in Calif. I had no cash but needed $26 dollars because I changed my return flight home early ( this was in 1978) this couple was a godsend, I asked for their name and address so I could repay them and they said no need, then gave me their condolences. That I never forgot.

A truly delightful human being. The sort of person you'd be so lucky to call a friend.

Been a fan of Susan for years ,she is so real and honest ,loved her Secret Scotland , always a pleasure to hear her talk of joy as she does bring joy to so many people.

I recently had Secret Scotland show up on my feed and am very glad it did! Susan is an absolute delight to watch and listen too. She ca. Be hilarious too! I smile ear to ear plus the show does a good job of showing the beauty of Scotland. I have binged watched it.

@@christineh4782 I have binge watched it since last Thursday! I’ve watch them all! It is such a great show. My grandmother was born in Scotland and I’ve always wanted to visit. I don’t think I’ll ever get there now. I just don’t see the point to spend all that money on a trip. When who knows what is going to happen to the world economy and food problems. So I am happy that I found it because I have learned a lot.

@@chefevilee9566 You make a good point. I am still hoping.

What an incredible person!

[@irenearseneault355]

It’s all about being in the moment isn’t it.

[@alisab3041]

I live in the middle of the US and just discovered Susan’s shows on KZbin. She is a treasure! I can see why the public have embraced her with love.

[@chefevilee9566]

Oh my gosh she needs to do that miniature cooking on KZbin. That would be KZbin gold!

[@lynnpearson5866]

Fabulous Susan..Thank You xx

[@HappyGnoux]

Love her too :)

[@elenabaker1914]

Joy is seeing Susan’s face as she was holding the golden eagle. Unforgettable and absolutely not a cell phone camera in sight! I won’t forget it. Thank you.

Amazing series

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

Never understood why someone would put on an item of clothing that has no means of tying or closing, and then spend ages trying to close it over....and it instantly falls open again....so you try closing it over once more.... - The same happens when women wear short skirts. They then spend every 2nd step reaching down to pull the hem down further, as if trying to stretch it down or make it longer. WHY wear something short that you want to be longer, and why choose to wear something that doesn't zip or button up and spend the whole interview trying to close it?

[@chefevilee9566]

Well with her adjusting her jacket I think is a nervous habit. The short skirt woman scenario is a completely different thing.

[@lizkeith1356]

getting comfortable in furniture that's meant for taller people is very hard, i can tell you.

[@WhosAGoodDogue]

@@lizkeith1356 Ahhh! So that might have been why Ronnie Corbett was always wiggling about in that seat when he did his bit to camera back in the day! LOL = thank you for the comment. Enjoy your weekend. Dogue.
