WIMBLEDON is just around the corner and rumour has it that it could be Andy Murray’s last time on those famous grass courts in SW19.
But what does it take to make it to the very top in the world of tennis? Andy Murray: Will To Win is a must-watch for an in-depth look at one of the greatest British players of all time.
Here are TV Mag’s six telly picks for Friday 28 June 2024…
Andy Murray: Will To Win (9pm BBC1)
It takes sheer determination and often sacrifice to make it in the sports world – something tennis star Andy Murray knows only too well.
This documentary explores his rise to the top in depth as Andy, his family and other tennis greats recall his highs and lows, from leaving home as a teen to train in Spain to becoming Britain’s first Wimbledon men’s champ in 77 years.
Terracotta Army: The Discovery With Dan Snow (9pm C5)
Fifty years ago, one of the most important archaeological discoveries ever made was found by chance in Xi’an, China.
Local farmers were digging a well when they discovered clumps of clay that got larger the deeper they dug.
A local archaeologist raced to the site and, as he pieced the pottery together, he realised that he was rebuilding a man made of clay and dressed in armour – and so the first of the warriors known as the Terracotta Army was unearthed after 2,000 years.
Historian Dan Snow has long had a fascination with the discovery, and now he travels to China to not only get up close and personal to the individual statues – a rare privilege – but to find out how and why they were created in the first place.
Hey Duggee (7.05am CBeebies)
Hey Duggee fans might be a little young for Glastonbury, but they can still join in the summer fun with this special episode.
