In Touch - A Very Merry (In Touch) Christmas
Download A Very Merry (In Touch) Christmas
The festive period can be very visual and with this in mind, charity Guide Dogs and entertainment production company The Ministry of Fun, teamed up to design a sensory Santa's grotto for visually impaired children. We sent along our resident child at heart, Fern Lulham to participate in the fun.
For many years, blind and partially sighted people have been left behind when it comes to accessing the big blockbuster video games (also referred to as AAA games). Thankfully, developers have woken up to this fact and so producer Beth Hemmings and totally blind gaming consultant, Brandon Cole review some of the biggest games that blind and partially sighted people could play this holiday season.
We also have a very special studio guest. He's blind, he's funny and an all round entertainer. Any guesses? Tune in to find out!
Presenter: Peter White
Producer: Beth Hemmings
Production Coordinator: Paul Holloway
Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image, wearing a dark green jumper. Above Peter's head is the BBC logo (three individual white squares house each of the three letters). Bottom centre and overlaying the image are the words "In Touch" and the Radio 4 logo (the word Radio in a bold white font, with the number 4 inside a white circle). The background is a bright mid-blue with two rectangles angled diagonally to the right. Both are behind Peter, one of a darker blue and the other is a lighter blue.
