New C4 programme – tag a parent who might be interested.
Does your child need a prosthetic leg (or legs) to take part in sport? Would you like to see your kid get even more active? How would he or she like to train with double champion Jonnie Peacock on a blade at his very own ‘blade camp’?
If your kid is between 8 and 15 years old and wants to get back into running, or wants the confidence to try running for the first time with his or her own blade, then One Tribe TV wants to hear from you. They are making a new prime time documentary ‘Jonnie’s Blade Camp’ to air as part of Channel 4’s 2020 Paralympics season of programmes.
To find out more, email mel@onetribetv.co.uk and introduce your family. One Tribe TV will then get in touch.

Paralympian Jonnie Peacock is to mentor and train four disabled children in a new One Tribe TV documentary for Channel 4.
One Tribe TV is searching for children aged from 8 to 15 to take part in Jonnie’s Blade Camp [working title], in which the 100m champion will put them through their paces over eight months.
Peacock will set each child a goal and meet them several times over the training period to offer mentoring, support and encouragement.
The series will feature children who regularly use a prosthetic leg and each of the participants will receive and keep their own running blade.
“Giving disabled youngsters the support and encouragement they need to stay active doesn’t just help them physically – it can potentially provide them with a life-changing sense of confidence and self-worth,” says Peacock.
“This isn’t the search for the next Paralympic sprint champion. This project is about opening young people’s eyes so they can release their potential and realise how much they can achieve, whether that’s participating in structured sport or just running around and messing about in the playground with their friends.”
The series will air in the lead-up to C4’s coverage of next year’s Paralympic Games.
On the One Show tonight, Carrie Grant speaks to David G. Croft, the director of The Who’s segment about what was going through his head at the time of Live Aid when it completely went off the air and to Jill Sinclair, the person who made the discovery of the lost Who footage at a warehouse in Feltham which was thought to be lost forever.
“Hi Dale and Team,
We just wanted to send a big message of thanks to all who worked on the film. We have watched it, and both Sophie and I appreciate the brilliant job that you have all done, especially in the circumstances. The island looks beautiful and fascinating, even at its harshest time of year and we really appreciate the considerate way that you dealt with Sams accident, and how well you managed to portray the challenges Enlli faces without apportioning blame.
We are so glad that we chose your company over others, and the trust and friendship between us has paid off to make a film thats honest film but positive – every single person from One Tribe has been a pleasure to meet, its been so much fun, thank-you!”
Hopefully speak soon,
best wishes,
Ned and Sophie
