No , not the song - a programme reuniting families who have drifted apart.
9 to 10 BBC2 tonight.

Shame 'Have I Got News For You is on the other side - but 'News' is repeated at 10pm on BBC2 tomorrow!

That's so sad, buggs.
He probably cares more than you think - just too stuborn to concede!


Have to admit to not speaking to my dad for 10 odd years - only because he was abroad (after he & mum divorced), we didn't know where he was (Nairobi it turned out) and he didn't think we were interested!!!
Also lost touch with a brother for a few years, when he was in Thailand.
My sister now hosts 'family parties' every year when we 'children' - 4 of us, our families and friends get together.
I think there will be 150 this year!! (no we haven't bred like rabbits - we invite friends from our 'youf' too!! ) LOL

I was interested that the will seemed important.
Spoke to my sister after the programme.
As our mum lives in Portugal, if she dies first everything goes to her husband (he's not my father), and we know we won't see a penny.
If he dies first, we hope mum will spend her money having a good time!!
Over the years, she's given money of varying amounts to each of us - but we aren't counting.
Must be very sad waiting for a parent to die to get their money. Even though I could do with a few quid, I'd rather get a life!!
