Two years ago, while filming a documentary about Mike’s 20-year battle with cancer, Jules received the devastating news that she had breast cancer. Now free of cancer, Jules is on a journey to rebuild her broken body. As a performer, losing her hair and part of her breast was a hugely difficult process. Jules Peters: My Cancer Journey sees Jules exploring her relationship with her new body and meeting other women who have shared the same experiences during their cancer treatment. During this remarkably honest documentary, Jules meets world-famous harpist Catrin Finch, who has recently started cancer treatment, and Nicola, a mother of young children who Jules contacted online during her cancer journey. Jules also meets three friends brought together by cancer who have found their own way of dealing with their diagnosis, by sharing their most intimate fears and their deepest concerns in a podcast. Gwawr Jones 2 EISTEDDFOD 2018 WITH JASON MOHAMMAD Wednesday, August 8 & Friday, August 10 BBC One Wales, 7.30pm It’s a pop-up city within the capital city that celebrates the best of Welsh culture. The Eisteddfod is the natural showcase for music, dance, visual arts, literature, original performances and much more. Jason Mohammad, himself a Welsh-speaking local lad, heads down to Cardiff Bay to bring all the highlights and stories from the National Eisteddfod of Wales to discover how this most ancient of festivals is evolving to remain a relevant cultural force. The week-long festival starts with a musical tribute to singer, actor and political activist Paul Robeson, 50 years after he sang in the 1958 Eisteddfod, inspired by the struggles of the Welsh miners. Jason will speak to the stars of the show including Sir Bryn Terfel. Radio presenter Huw Stephens, who’s the Honorary President of this year’s Eisteddfod, looks at the diverse range of pop and rock performances being played out over the week. Jason will also be catching up with Wales and Lions rugby star Jamie Roberts, who’s being honoured at the Eisteddfod this year, in his home town. And the programme will also visit the Lle Celf - the largest temporary modern art exhibition in Europe. He’ll enjoy the work of the Gold Medal winners in Fine Art, Contemporary Art, Craft and Design – as well as Architecture. Eisteddfod 2018 with Jason Mohammad will bring the best stories and performances from this truly unique event. Stephen Morgan 3 KEEPING FAITH Thursday, August 9 BBC One, 9pm #KeepingFaith There has still been no word from Evan. And as the police arrive to respond to the break-in at the family home, Faith frantically tries to hide the evidence - but soon Evan’s possessions and the bullet used to threaten Faith are found. Steve Baldini’s growing closeness to Faith raises questions from Terry, and now the police are secretly tailing her. Trying to keep her life together, Faith takes on the case of an elderly farmer who is being forced from his home by an unscrupulous landlord. Following further leads, Faith makes an appointment with dentist Dr Alpay, who demands cash for information about Evan. And the stakes are raised further when Faith receives a disturbing visit from Gael Riordan. And the pressure of recent events starts to show on Evan’s sister Bethan.
