Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace

Found in a shopping basket under a Birmingham hedge, Liz has since triumphed over every challenge life has thrown at her except for the puzzle of her true identity. Foundling Susanne was left in an East London phone box along with a heartbreaking note from her birth mother. For years she's been hoping for a close DNA match and, finally, she makes a joyful connection.

Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell present the documentary that combines new DNA technology with painstaking detective work to find answers for foundlings. In 1966, infant Simon was left in the outside toilet block of a mother and baby home in Neath in south Wales. In an unrelated incident, four years later in Christchurch, England, newborn Lisa was left in another baby's pram. Almost 60 years later, Simon and Lisa are still desperate to know who left them and why.

When a helpless baby boy was found in Milton Keynes in 1984, staff at a nearby hospital named him after the royal baby born just a few weeks earlier. 'Harry' was adopted and raised as Jon, but he is still haunted by the mystery of his start in life, and so is foundling Tina, who was left outside a hospital in Stoke-on-Trent in 1970. Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell help the duo find out more about their respective families.

Sarah was left in the stairwell of a Surrey car park in 2001. She is the youngest foundling to appear on the show. Also looking for answers is Chris who, at three months old, was dropped off at a childminder's near Kings Cross in London, 62 years ago. He still needs to know who his birth family is and why nobody ever returned to pick him up.
