Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell follow three stories of sons coming to terms with the past, including Marc Wolfe's struggle to form a bond with his birth mother Esther, who lives in New Zealand. However, his search for identity didn't end there as researchers were able to reunite him with his birth father David, and the pair have grown close. One significant hurdle remained in the form of introducing David to his adoptive father Terry, and cameras were there as Marc introduces his two dads to each other.

Dept. Q

DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
