Long Lost Family

Both stories in this episode celebrate the bond between brothers. In the first case, Lee Sharp's adoptive parents had told him that he was a foundling, but the team discovers this isn't true and a sibling he never knew he had. In the second case, Peter MacDonald's father snatched him from his mother's arms as a baby as a train carrying her and his older brother Trevor pulled out of Preston station. After 58 years of longing, Peter wants to see his brother again.

Paula's baby's father disappeared when she discovered she was pregnant in 1979. Unable to support herself, Paula felt that adoption was the only option, but always questioned her choice. The second case features Justus Augustin, who came to London from St Lucia in the 1960s. He fell in love with a white Irish girl who became pregnant. Her father disapproved of the relationship, and insisted the baby must be put up for adoption. Unsuccessful in his efforts to be allowed to raise his daughter, Justus has yearned to find her ever since.

Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell present a series that aims to help people reunite with long-lost relatives, with investigators picking up the search when the trail has gone cold.
