Swansea: Return to the Streets

Episode 2

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One Wales HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Wales

The images of Tracie, an alcoholic sleeping alone in a tunnel under Swansea railway station shocked viewers two years ago. Now we catch up with her at a faith-based centre in Wales where for 18 months she's been battling with her addiction, and she's made an astonishing transformation. Andy did seven months in rehab to see if he could overcome 20 years of addiction to alcohol, but he relapsed. He's managed to get a shared rented house with his new friend Barry. But the house has problems, the heating is not working properly and they're facing Christmas with no working cooker. For six weeks Wally has been sleeping in an abandoned building yet he has no money in the bank. He has made the challenge of being homeless into a crazy game, conjuring up a version of the top trumps card game. He calls it 'Top Tramping'. So, favourite things like fast cars are replaced with homeless characters who are the Top Tramps. Apparently you get points for beg-ability, stink-ability and tramp-ability! Show less
