PICK OF THE DAY

Long Lost Family: Born Without Trace 9PM, UTV ★★★★★

The stories of foundlings make up a daily two-parter that opens with David McBride and Helen Ward, abandoned as babies on opposite sides of the Irish border. Both have gone through life not knowing when and where they were born, and the dislocating effect that’s had on them is clear. Helen was once told to ‘let sleeping dogs lie’ about her origins, but thankfully, she took no notice, and tonight’s search for answers takes some incredible turns. Davina McCall (right) presents.
