A big update about the lovely Viv from #DNAFamilySecrets. She came to the programme to find her sister, who I found. But what we didn't show was that it showed that Viv's dad wasn't who she thought it was. Listen to what happened next:

Just had a ‘memory’ come up. This time last year the rather wonderful #StaceyDooley, the amazing team at Minnow Films, gorgeous little Minnie, and I were filming series 3 of #BBC #DNAFamilySecrets. So hope we get recommissioned! I’m so proud of the programme: we work so hard on it. 😊🧬

Finished the final episode of #DNAFamilySecrets & it is realistic show these stories with no resolution. It's not as sexy TV but it raises awareness while being empathetic and sensitively done.

Sad that this story didn't get a full resolution but not surprising. So few Chinese people have tested their DNA yet. Great to shine a light on a story I imagine most people know nothing about - I had no idea about the deportation of Chinese works in WWII. #DNAFamilySecrets

Not as resolved as some other episodes but I like the realism of it. #DNA doesn't always solve the mystery right away. #DNAFamilySecrets

Wow. They found a first cousin but haven't yet identified the parents. That's tough. I've been there with clients, but usually because they haven't responded & have no tree to work on. #DNAFamilySecrets

Excited to see #DNAFamilySecrets - they're taking on a foundling case. I've worked on something similar with an illegal adoption case in Ireland. @turiking.bsky.social #DNA
