    LONG LOST FAMILY

    Continues Monday 2 August, 9pm

    ITV and ITV Hub

    So why has the programme been such an enduring success? In great part, it’s about the care with which the production team, also made by production company Wall to Wall, offers historical and social context in order to help viewers understand the complexities behind what are sometimes challenging and heartbreaking family stories.
