Susan Calman chooses her Tracks Of My Years

Comedian and presenter Susan Calman is Vernon's guest this week, choosing ten songs that have soundtracked her life on Tracks Of My Years. Plus, two listeners take on Ten To The Top and we delve into the BBC Archive for a daily visit to Vernon's Vault.

Born in Glasgow in 1974, Susan Calman had a successful career in law for several years before trying stand-up for the first time at 30. After taking several years to earn a living full-time, she quit law and since then has become an established comedian and TV presenter, regularly seen on the likes of QI, as well as hosting a series of travel programmes. In 2017 she took part in the fifteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing, dancing with Kevin Clifton, which she described as “truly the best thing I’ve ever done in my life." Susan married her long-time partner Lee in 2016. Later this year she is heading out on the road for the first time in ten years with her brand-new live show, Tall Tales.
