In Touch

Available for over a year

Peter White meets Ted Ellerton. He lost his sight overnight, whilst still working as a driver. Ted is now nearly 90 and lives alone in a small village near Sheffield. He's highly organised and we hear how he carries out everyday tasks like him cooking and sorting his washing. Tony Shearman travels to Cornwall to find out about acoustic target shooting, one of the most popular sports for blind and partially-sighted people.
