Back To The Beginning

Thirty-two years ago,

Diane was abandoned in the waiting room of Lymington station. She was six months old. Brian remembers nothing before the age of six, when he was adopted from a children's home. Both now share the common urge to find their natural parents.

Before 1975 this would have been almost impossible. But in that year the Children's Act was passed. It gave adopted adults a chance of finding their natural parents by allowing them access to their original birth certificates.

This is the story of Diane and Brian's search. Diane has been looking for a year and feels she could be near a breakthrough. Brian is just beginning. Neither knows how long it will take, or quite what they will find. But both will need patience, some skill as detectives, and a little bit of luck. before the trail arrives back at the beginning.

The Masked Singer

Part guessing game and part singing show, The Masked Singer sees 12 famous faces compete to pull off the best performance, with their identity elaborately and imaginatively concealed, thanks to an expert team of talented costume designers. The stars will be transformed and they will take on a masked identity and become a fantastic character which will disguise them for the whole series. 

Forget any thoughts of fancy dress – they'll be full-on, original, movie-standard creations taking inspiration from worlds as varied as manga, superheroes, and wild animals and mythical creatures. Their transformations will be total, even their speaking voices will be disguised in interviews. 

It will be up to a superstar panel to lead the viewers at home in their quest to discover who they are. Although the stars aren't judged on their voices, they'll still need to give their best performance – the audience's least favourite will be eliminated, before the panel try to guess their identity and unmask them.
