LOST AND FOUND

EVERY single story from Long Lost Family could be turned into a weepy daytime movie in its own right.

- BY SARA WALLIS

Pretty much every episode leaves viewers crying into their cuppas, and the show is the perfect example of a cast-iron format that nails it every time.

Davina McCall is walking along a coastline in a stunning coat as she tells us the sad story of someone searching for their relative.

Cut to said person's kitchen and Davina has news. Pause.

She produces a photo. Maybe there is even a letter. Everyone is crying.

Elsewhere, Nicky Campbell is providing a shoulder to cry on, while someone spits into a test tube.
