BBC1 Family Finders
« on: Friday 12 June 15 17:59 BST (UK) »
Excellent new programme which has been on every morning at 11.30.Shows the help given by Salvation Army in finding lost relatives .Unlike the Long Lost Family of ITV there are no presenters and in many cases we see people trying to do the work themselves.Interesting historical background history which comes into the many stories also shown.
Why is this programme on in the morning.....deserves evening time.
It's on all next week .

I agree, better than WDYTYA.....ordinary people trying themselves to find family.if you have missed this week and can't watch iplayer its on next week in the morning.
Very bad scheduling though by BBC.
