Best of British - Channel 4 documentary follows 2012 Paralympics hopefuls

Tonight on Channel 4 a new three part documentary starts. "Best of British" follows hopefuls for the London 2012 Paralympics GB team.  The first programme follows three blind footballers, fighting to make the GB squad.

"The first film in the series follows Dave Clarke, Robin Wiliams and Owen Bainbridge from the British Blind Football squad.
As well as following the highs and lows of team selection and the squad's performance, the film also meets the players' families.
What's it like for the players to have sighted family members and children, and what is it like for those families to have blind sons, brothers and fathers?"
Owen Bainbridge is a good friend of mine and was one of my lodge mates during my time at the Royal National College for the Blind.  As the camera crew followed him in his daily life, they also interviewed me.  So you might alsao see me on the programme.  Fame at last!
