Long Lost Family

In this programme, Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell explore two personal quests. One follows a woman trying to locate her Jamaica‑born father, while the other tracks a person seeking the half‑brother their mother placed for adoption.

The series is fronted by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell, who guide viewers through two intimate, real‑life investigations. Both presenters act as companions on the journeys, offering support as the participants pursue long‑standing family questions. The first story follows a woman determined to locate the father she never met, a man who was born in Jamaica. Her search takes her through the clues she’s gathered over the years, and the programme records each step as she works to reconnect with her roots. The second narrative centres on another individual who is trying to find the half‑brother her mother placed for adoption. This pursuit is driven by a desire to fill a gap left by the adoption and to understand a part of her family history that has remained hidden. Throughout the episodes, McCall and Campbell accompany the participants, providing a steady presence as they navigate the emotional highs and lows of their quests. The show captures the anticipation, the setbacks, and the moments of hope that accompany any search for missing family members. By focusing on these two parallel journeys, the programme offers a glimpse into the personal impact of unanswered questions about parentage and sibling connections, all without straying beyond the stories themselves.
