Lewis Davies 2 WARRIORS: OUR HOMELESS WORLD CUP Monday, 15 July BBC One Wales, 10.35pm The Warriors are Wales’s most unlikely football team. Led by the world’s most unlikely coach,they are going to Mexico to represent their country in the Homeless World Cup, after only 12 weeks of training. The tournament brings together hundreds of players from dozens of countries around the World, all united by a common bond. They are all in search of better lives. This three-part series follows the lives of women chosen to represent Wales. Every member of the team is, or has been, homeless - often facing bigger battles off the pitch than on it. And their coach is Keri, a man who’s spent more than 20 years devoted to the charity which takes the Welsh teams to the tournament. The charity’s patron, Port Talbot born, Hollywood actor, Michael Sheen OBE is bringing the Homeless World Cup 2019 to Cardiff this July. Rhiannon, who lived on the streets said: “Just because somebody is homeless, it doesn’t make them a bad person. People who are homeless are the same as anybody else, they’ve just had really bad things happen…obviously.” Coach Keri says: “I think it’s about giving people a different view of what life can be and trying to instill a bit of aspiration in people. If we can give people positive memories that they can look back on and enjoy thinking about, then that’s got to be a good thing.” This is their moment to break free of the past and change their lives forever. They are already Wales’s toughest football team - now they have to prove it to the world. Emma Kaye 3 MOONSHOT Tuesday, 16 July BBC Two Wales, 8.30pm With July 2019 marking the 50th anniversary of the moon landings, eyes across the world will turn to the skies. To celebrate this seminal astronomical event, Alyn Wallace -Wales’ NASA-recognised, self-taught astrophotographer - sets out to capture the ultimate moon images in three iconic locations around the nation. Along the way he’ll find out about one of the first ever photographs of the moon, come face to face with some astonishing artefacts and learn more about Wales’ longstanding lunar relationship. Based in Pontypridd, Alyn has spent many years and countless long nights pointing his lens upwards. He’s passionate about both astronomy and photography, and he knows more than most about what is visible in the Welsh skies, and when is the best time to look for it. He’s become so skilled at astrophotography that his work has been picked up by NASA and - although he travels the world to take his startling images - he believes that the best view of the universe is right on his doorstep, here in Wales. Dale Williams HAYLEY GOES… OFFLINE 4 Tuesday, 16 July BBC One Wales, 10.35pm Hayley Pearce is going on a digital detox in Hayley Goes… Offline to discover just how tight a grip her smartphone has on her. After discovering that she spends up to seven hours a day scrolling through social media she wants to know what it’s doing to her mental health. Going smartphone free for a fortnight, Hayley explores the impact that being switched on and connected 24/7 has on our lives. Hayley said, “No matter where I am, or what I’m doing, there’s one thing I can’t live without and that’s my phone. It keeps me awake at night, always makes me late and takes up all my attention but for 14 days, I switched off my phone to experience living life without my smartphone.” She meets an expert in cyber addiction at Nottingham University to find out if her heavy phone use is more than a bad habit before meeting Danny Bowman, who was labelled Britain’s first selfie addict. Taking over 200 selfies a day, Danny’s obsession with taking the perfect pic led to him developing body dysmorphic disorder and ultimately tried to take his own life. Hayley also heads to BBC Radio 1 to meet journalist Steffan Powell where she finds out more about fake news and her responsibility to her thousands of followers when sharing articles. She finishes her filter free journey at a rural retreat in west Wales where people are encouraged to connect more with the world around them and less with their phones. Hayley continued, “The challenge gave me the chance to live solely in the real world - not just virtually - and taught me that I can control my phone habit. It has shown me that I can choose life over likes!” Jordan Harris 5 ROCKET MAN: NASA’S WELSH HERO Thursday, 18 July BBC One Wales, 10.35pm When Neil Armstrong made his giant step, the billions watching it on TV had a Welshman to thank for seeing him do it - a Welshman who had been a major part of the space mission story. Tecwyn Roberts' story is told for the first time in a new documentary presented by comedian and BBC Radio Cymru presenter Tudur Owen. The film Rocket Man: NASA’s Welsh Hero is part of the BBC's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the moon landings and sees Tudur reveal all about the shy boy from Anglesey who helped men walk on the moon. Tudur said, “Tec Roberts’ story is incredible and I feel so privileged to be finally able to tell it to the people of Wales.” Becoming NASA’s first Flight Dynamics Officer (FIDO), Tecwyn was instrumental in the Apollo missions and Tudur travels to America to find out more about him. He talks exclusively to three of his former colleagues and fellow engineering legends - including former Director of the Johnson Space Center, Christopher Colombus Kraft Jr – who emphasise the integral role Roberts played in putting man on the moon. The documentary features remastered NASA archive footage from the time to showcase mankind’s finest achievement and celebrate the little known engineer from Llanddaniel Fab and his part in making history. Tudur continued, “This humble and gifted man from Anglesey is regarded by NASA as one of the pioneers of manned space flight. My mission is to make sure that his work and legacy is recognised here in Wales. I am so excited to be able to tell Tec Roberts’ story. The whole world knows about the moon landing but only a select few know about the crucial role this unassuming and gifted Welshman played in mankind’s greatest achievement.” Jordan Harris 6 GO FISH! WITH WILL MILLARD Friday, 19 July BBC One Wales, 8pm In the final episode of Go Fish! with Will Millard, the fishing fanatic is looking to land a legendary prehistoric predator in the Rhondda Valley. Lurking beneath the surface of a secret fishing spot in South Wales, locals have long told the tale of a giant pike and Will wants to find out if there’s any truth to it. After returning throughout the episode in search of the mythical fish, Will – who had almost given up hope of even seeing the mystery monster - said, “Rumours of a duck- eating monster kept me coming back time and again through the frozen winter, but I think it is fair to say we had all but written it off to legend and fancy. Then my float slid away late one winter evening and pandemonium broke out.” He also hooks up with expert pike angler Chris Howell on the banks of a Brecon Beacons reservoir, as well as casting a line in a pike competition in Port Talbot’s docks where he discovers that industry and nature have formed an unusual partnership. Will continued, “In this journey, we wanted to show how the sad decline of heavy industry in south Wales had left a vacuum and an opportunity for this most prehistoric fish, which thrives on a curious form of neglect.
