Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell revisit more of the most extraordinary searches featured previously on the show to find out how lives have been transformed, beginning with the stories of people desperate to find their birth parents.

Episode 2
This week, we catch up with two sisters whose searches took us to opposite sides of the globe.
Yasika Fernando's search for her Sri Lankan birth mother has had repercussions she could never have imagined. When Yasika's programme was broadcast it was watched by someone else born in the very same week and adopted from the very same convent.
Our second story follows Paula Stillie, who after a lifetime wondering about her ethnicity discovered her Native American aunts and uncles. But with the global pandemic scuppering international travel, they've only been able to speak via videocall… until now. Finally, she's heading out to Montana to see her new family in person.
Episode 3
Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell revisit the stories of three people navigating new relationships and complicated feelings, including ex-footballer Dominic Matteo, who was desperate to find his birth mother after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. Grant Williams returns to Derry to spend more time with his daughter Wendy O'Hagan to make the most of their time together in light of his recent diagnosis of Alzheimer's, while Colin Deering - who first met his brother Bryan back in 2014 - starts out on a new journey to find out about his birth father.

Based on the award-winning, best-selling memoir from Mark Critch. This new original comedy is the hilarious and very real story of 11-year-old Mark coming of age in St. John's, Newfoundland in the 80s.

Grantchester
Eavesdropping on the life of Sidney Chambers, a charismatic, charming, crime-fighting clergyman, and his partner in crime Police Inspector Geordie Keating, became a highlight for the audience who revelled in their on screen partnership. Geordie's plain-speaking, down to earth approach to policing complemented Sidney's more gentle technique of coaxing information from witnesses and suspects. Their unlikely pairing became a true friendship as each offered a different insight into the crimes they unravelled.
Gangs of London
Set in the heart of one of the world's most dynamic and multicultural cities, Gangs of London tells the story of city being torn apart by the turbulent power struggles of the international gangs that control it and the sudden power vacuum that's created when the head of London's most powerful crime family is assassinated.

With rivals everywhere, it's up to the impulsive Sean Wallace, with the help of the Dumani family headed by Ed Dumani to take his father's place. if the situation wasn't already dangerous enough, Sean's assumption of power causes ripples in the world of international crime. Perhaps the one man who might be able to help him and be his ally is Elliot Finch, who up until now, has been one of life's losers, a lowlife chancer with a mysterious interest in the Wallace family. But as the wind of fate blows, Elliot finds himself transported to the inner workings of the largest criminal organisation in London.

After attending a medical conference in Beijing and coming frighteningly close to dying in a car crash, Dr. Matthew Nolan arrives home and is immediately arrested at London's Heathrow Airport. Exhausted and confused, Nolan is accused of the murder of a woman who was in the car he crashed. Despite his protests that he was driving alone, Nolan is set to return to China to face charges.
DC Hana Li is the no-nonsense London officer charged with accompanying Nolan back to Beijing. Her resentment for this assignment, and of Nolan himself, is immediate. However, in flight, when a first death occurs, DC Li begins to suspect foul play. Further deaths confirm that Nolan is in danger, and after a call from MI5, Hana finds herself embroiled in an escalating conspiracy.
