Football, Prince William And Our Mental Health
Thursday, BBC1, 8.05pm
‘It’s OK to not feel OK.’ That’s the vital message Prince William (right) has for British men who have mental health problems but may suffer in silence. The Duke of Cambridge has long campaigned to bring about fundamental change, using football as an unthreatening arena to bring together men who are still hidebound by the notion of the stiff upper lip and get them to open up. This inspirational documentary shows William meeting footballers, from Premier League stars who admit to their private anguish, to grassroots players who are able to reveal their pain to their team-mates.
