Busy Su - Catch Up! |
 It's
been a busy few weeks for Su,
particularly the past week, with a lot of
press, television and radio appearances,
mostly in anticipation of the premiere of
the first episode of Pilgrimage: The
Road Through Portugal.
Last Sunday (2nd April) Su guested on Sunday
Brunch on Channel 4, chatting and
enjoying some great food throughout the
three-and-a-half-hour show. Su also made
a return appearance to James Whale's show
on Talk TV. On
Thursday evening Su guested on BBC1's The One
Show,
alongside her Pilgrimage friends
Bobby Seagull and Rita Simons. Also
guesting was Jeff Goldblum.
During the week Su also did a number of
radio interviews, including BBC Radio
Northampton and BBC Radio Scotland, on Sunday
Morning With Cathy Macdonald -
Listen at BBC Sounds.
On Friday morning Su guested on Good
Morning Britain,
the first of three TV appearances that
day. Later she made her second visit to The
Weakest Link -
having previously been on the legendary
quiz show 20 years earlier when it was
then hosted by Anne Robinson - coming a
very respectable fourth in the
competition, which aired on BBC1 prime
time.
The culmination to this busy week was the
broadcast of the first episode of, the
fifth series of, Pilgrimage.
It premiered on BBC2 at 9pm, with all
three episodes being made available to

Daily Star - New Su Interview |
 Su
Pollard is 'living life for her pal Ruth
Madoc' after tragic death of Hi-de-Hi
star
Hi-de-Hi! stars Su Pollard and Ruth
Madoc were best friends for 40 years,
though sadly Ruth passed away last year.
Though Su is determined to live her life
in memory of her pal
Su Pollard is living life to the fullest
in honour of late pal Ruth Madoc.
The Hi-de-Hi! legends were friends for
more than 40 years. So when Ruth, who
played yellowcoat Gladys Pugh in the
sitcom, died aged 79 last December, it
made her take stock.
Su, who starred as cleaner Peggy, vividly
remembers the moment she heard the news.
She told the Daily Star Sunday: “It
was ever such a shock. It was terrible. I
was about to do panto and I got a phone
call to say Ruth had broken her leg.
“I found out what hospital she was
in and I phoned her. And then a few days
later she was gone."
