Socially Distant with Susan Calman

Series 1

Episode 2

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Scotland

Susan Calman welcomes viewers back to her garden, determined to try to cheer up the nation and get creative people in Scotland busy again. Being stuck at home isn’t stopping her from making a television show, and she's invited more comedians, actors and musicians to join her remotely through the medium of technology.

In this episode, she is joined by Scottish star of Shetland, Guilt and new drama Quiz Mark Bonnar for a chat.

Comedian Jo Caulfield delivers some tips for staying positive from her Edinburgh home. Aberdeen lass and number one singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé performs a beautiful bespoke rendition of her song You Are Not Alone. Susan also welcomes back a selection of established and up-and-coming comedians to offer up some gags, remotely. Farmer and comedian Jim Smith treats us to some of his best impressions and introduces us to some of the animals on his Perthshire farm.

And we take a peek at how the people of Scotland are thanking all the key workers and frontline staff, and how we are continuing to celebrate whilst in isolation. It might be a bit rough and ready, but Susan’s still determined to give it a go!
