    ITV Production manager died in January according to google. can't get into the link as it's being slow. I guess loads of people googled to see who she is.

    Admittedly the last 'surprise' made me emotional too, but that aspect of surprise was missing tonight. The person would have come to the show not knowing that the lost relative wasn't found, let alone going to meet them that night. Perhaps they did it that way due to her age, but the same thing was done to the previous two so-called surprises too.

    Have to agree with BG, the tasks and experiences mentioned that warranted the TV appearance were sort-of average tbh.

    myss, she was only 74, not 94. I hope she doesn't have a terminal illness which they weren't allowed to say....

    The mother wrote to the two sons so they knew about her and agreed to meet her. My question was why they had to wait and do it on a tv show. Surely they could have done it at their own homes. But I spose it made good tele....

    I think I'm getting far too cynical in my old age :blush:

    I honestly thought she was my Mums age ... Which is nearly 90. Her daughter is very wrinkly and also,one of the twins ...... Must run in the family.

    I thought she held herself together very well. I guess she did all her crying when she had to give up her babies. Poor lady.

    I thought mark wright did well. He was genuine and sincere with that lady and I think he genuinely helped her. He doesn't get enough credit or work IMO :)

    I enjoyed it although some of the surprises could have been better but if it suited them...then who are we to complain :p

    I loved the story of the first Mum though who made those baby grows for premature babies :)
