 A five-part BBC TV documentary series about foundlings, which examines the unique problems faced by these people as they grow up without a sense of identity. They have no idea of their birth family background and often spend their whole lives searching for loved ones. Each episode deals with foundlings in different age groups, from babies abandoned in the year production, right up to a 70 year-old war veteran who was brought up in the former Foundling Hospital; his quest to discover his birth mother met with very mixed results.
