Southwold
This week, Susan's summer holiday by the sea takes her to Southwold on the Suffolk coast.
Susan starts by viewing this charming seaside spot from up high - the town's lighthouse - which isn't at all where you'd expect. The spectacular views of the coast tempt Susan into setting sail to explore Southwold from the sea. It's a little choppier than she bargained for but the breath-taking scenery makes it all worthwhile.
The picturesque village of Walberswick is Susan's next port of call. To get there she takes one of the shortest and most fabulous ferry rides in the world. On the other side, Susan hears all about the local pastime of crabbing before heading back to Southwold's pier, where she visits one of the quirkiest attractions she's ever seen. The ‘Under the Pier Show' is a unique collection of coin-operated machines, which leave Susan not knowing whether to laugh, cry or both!
At the beach, Interior design guru, Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen, enjoys the outdoors with Susan as they attempt a game of quoits. Although he's a fan of the seaside, Laurence isn't exactly at one with nature, but during his trip to Minsmere Nature Reserve he falls head over designer heels in love with the hobby and the RSPB's emblematic bird, the Avocet.
Nearby Thorpeness is a must-see for Susan. She calls in at a holiday let that stands out above the rest and takes a rowing boat on a lake in the heart of the village, where she hears all about the local landowner's incredible vision to create his own purpose-built holiday resort - a Victorian Centre Parcs.
Before her Southwold jaunt comes to an end, Susan takes a peek inside one of the area's iconic beach huts. It's safe to say Southwold and the surrounding villages have found a place in Susan's heart.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
