Trapeze Girl
Reporter Esther Rantzen
Another chance to see this programme from the award-winning series. 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. The programme follows her two months' training, meets the stars of the circus - and then waits to see if she succeeds.
Trapeze Girl put a lump in my throat at times, making me want to cheer.
