Ricky, Sue and a Trip or Two Episode 2, 26 March 2024, More4

In a brand new episode of “Ricky, Sue and a Trip or Two,” beloved actors Ricky Tomlinson and Sue Johnston take viewers on a journey through their personal histories. First appearing on screen as husband and wife over 40 years ago, Ricky and Sue still have much to learn about each other. To bridge this gap, they embark on three special road trips that allow them to share the places that have shaped their lives.

The Midlands serves as the backdrop for their first adventure. Ricky and Sue visit the iconic Belgrade theatre in Coventry, where Sue once worked as a young actor. The couple also explores Birmingham’s vibrant culinary scene through its renowned curry dishes and picturesque canals. Additionally, they make a poignant visit to Shrewsbury Prison—an experience close to Ricky’s heart since he served time there in the 1970s. Remarkably, he received a full pardon 48 years later.

Throughout their travels, Ricky and Sue encounter unexpected surprises—a hallmark of any good road trip. From meeting famous friends along the way to immersing themselves in new experiences and locales, these diversions add excitement and spontaneity to their shared adventures.

To end their Midlands escapade on an artistic note, Ricky recreates a scene from Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice—highlighting one of the couple’s shared literary passions.
