| New BBC 2 series searching for a family that wants to reunite relatives | ||
| ||
|
The BBC is celebrating the British family in a four-part documentary series by following the reunion of a large extended family.
The series intends to celebrate the British family in 2008 by exploring the fascinating past and present that all families have at their core, and by rediscovering the importance and strength of family bonds and relationships in modern Britain. The celebration will offer the whole family the chance to discover their collective history over the course of an all-expenses-paid weekend in autumn 2008. Blast Films is searching for a family who might be interested in taking advantage of this unique opportunity to reunite their relatives. Specifically we’re looking for someone who is fascinated by genealogy and has possibly researched their family’s history already. Is 2008 the year to bring people closer together and celebrate what it means to be part of a family? For more information please email ckearsey@blastfilms.co.uk
