[4] The BBC produced a program in the early 1980s called Calum Kennedy's Commando Course, which documented a disastrous tour around the Scottish Highlands in an old bus.

As more and more of his cast left the tour, a red marker pen was shown erasing them from a promotional poster.

Kennedy was not happy about this program being shown, as he felt it ridiculed him, but it has since gone down as a piece of classic television.

[7] His daughter Fiona is also a singer and was for a time co-host with Roy Castle of the long-running BBC children's series Record Breakers.

Kennedy owned Leethland House, Glenpatrick Road, in Elderslie, which, since a fire, has been left in ruins.
