About This Program

The latest episode of the series is fronted by Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell, who return to guide viewers through another pair of personal investigations. Their presence provides a familiar anchor for the programme, linking the stories together under a single, conversational style. In this instalment the focus shifts to two distinct journeys. The first follows a woman who has never met her biological father and is now setting out to locate him, hoping to fill a long‑standing gap in her life. The second narrative tracks a man who, after growing up without knowledge of his origins, embarks on a quest to discover the parents who gave him birth. Both accounts are presented as intimate, real‑life searches, with the presenters offering context and prompting reflection as the participants navigate their respective paths. The structure allows each story to unfold at its own pace, giving space for the individuals to explain why finding these missing family links matters to them. By pairing these two investigations, the episode continues the series’ pattern of exploring personal histories that have remained hidden. McCall and Campbell’s role is to keep the audience engaged, drawing connections between the separate but equally compelling quests for identity and belonging.
