Trapeze Girl
Reporter Esther Rantzen
Another chance to see three programmes from the award-winning series which allowed talented amateurs the chance of their dreams - to take part in a spectacular professional event.
This week a 17-year-old girl from a children's home, who is an amateur gymnast, trains for the high trapeze. It is the most dangerous act in the circus - many trapeze artists fall to their death. We follow her two months' training, meet the stars of the circus - and then wait to see if she succeeds.
Trapeze Girl put a lump in my throat at times, making me want to cheer.
