May 2012
This is the first of four shows diving into the Olympics like Tom Daley. You do not have to be a sports fan to find something interesting in these shows, we are investigating everything from the showbiz opening, the impact the Games will have on our already multicultural make-up, will the vibrations of last summers riots have any affect on ticket sales, what will the legacy actually look like and we speak to 9 times Paralympics gold medalist Chris Holmes about losing his sight at 14 and how to swim in a straight line when you’re blind.
