This show has so much potential - the people on it are genuinely yearning to find answers to questions about their pasts. They have great stories to tell. Unfortunately, the producers and directors forget us, the audience. The show is way too drawn-out and repetitive. I.e. "John is looking for his father" repeated 10 times. And experts droning on about meaningless genetic information. All the experts waffle on way to extensively asking how people feel about not knowing their past, why they want to know, how they feel when they find someone, etc. Just tell the story and get on with it! Stacey Dooley, the host, tries hard but over-does the schmaltz. But the big issue is that the pace needs to be greatly speeded up. It just needs someone to review the show from a viewer's perspective.
