Evacuees Reunited
Hosted by Michael Aspel, who was himself an evacuee.
In September 1939, with the calamity of World War Two on the horizon, nearly three million people, over half of them children, were uprooted and sent away from their families. The aim was to save them from German bombs, but few could have foreseen the emotional upheaval these journeys would provoke. Their seismic dramas still ripple through millions of British lives to this day. This five part series tells the stories of fifteen World War Two evacuees, as they attempt to retrace their steps of nearly seventy years ago. Many hope to reunite with people who made a big impact on their lives, from fellow evacuees with whom they shared their experiences, to the descendants of their host families.
