Should programmes like this help the offspring break that understanding. I don't think it is the same as a birth resulting from a fling.

	I think I did quite well finding my Mums family here and in Australia on my own.

	They wouldn't make the show if there wasn't family to be 'found'. Well researched and stage managed.

	It was another good one, I often wonder if they have some sort of inkling that there is family out there.
