The Scottish comedian and TV presenter visited the likes of Bamburgh and Holy Island earlier this year.

And the travel programme will be broadcast on Friday, October 6 at 8pm.

Viewers will get to see her dress up as DCI Vera Stanhope, lead character in the long-running ITV crime drama, complete with the trademark mac and hat usually worn by actress Brenda Blethyn.

Posting a picture on social media at the time, she wrote: “Filming in Northumberland. Decided to go all in with a Vera tribute.”

The former Strictly contestant also visited Holy Island where she popped into 1st Class Food.

The synopsis in the Radio Times says: ‘The comedian returns for a fresh batch of adventures, beginning with a voyage to the north east corner of England, taking in the Pennines and the Northumberland coast. Susan also visits the island of Lindisfarne, where she hears tales of Viking raids.’
