Saved By A Stranger
BBC2, Thursday 29 April, 9pm
Anita Rani presents this new series, which will tell the stories of people who received help from strangers during the most extreme events in living memory, including the Falklands War, the Nazi Holocaust and the Bosnian War. Each contributor will launch a personal journey to find the person who helped them, which will hopefully end with an emotional reunion. In this first episode, we meet Karl, a trainee clinical psychologist who was a passenger on the Piccadilly Line London Underground train during London’s 7/7 bombings. After the bomb exploded, Karl was comforted by a woman who held his hand in the dark, smoke-filled carriage. Now, it’s time for Karl to track down this mystery woman and thank her. ★★★★
