BBC Radio 4 - In Touch, Futsal Star Steve Daley; Blind Actors in TV Ads

Steve Daley on the move to coaching England's partially sighted, 5-a-side "Futsal" team.

A chat with Steve Daley as he looks to a future away from captaining England's partially sighted, 5-a-side "Futsal" team; and the new TV ad celebrating a beloved blind grandma.

Peter White chats with Steve Daley who, at the age of 43, retired as captain of England's partially sighted, 5-a-side "Futsal" team after last year's World Cup final.
Futsal is FIFA's recognised version of small-sided football.
In total he represented England at nine World Cups and nine European Championships, winning Silver and Bronze medals along the way.
The FA has now offered him the Head Coach role which Steve has accepted.
And, with a new TV advert featuring a blind actress, we'll hear from the people who made the ad. Are opportunities growing on the small screen for blind and visually impaired actors?

PRODUCER: Mike Young

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
