Also returning are the Carr’s neighbours, the Hudsons, played by Gabby Best (Angela Hudson), Harry Peacock (Nigel Hudson) and Rourke Mooney (Charlie Hudson).

Changing Ends is based on Alan’s own life in Northampton in the 1980s growing up as the son of a fourth division football manager.

The second season picks up shortly after the first, as young Alan contends with impending puberty and feeling sidelined by his family. With Graham Carr distracted by Northampton Town FC who are battling for promotion can he be there for his son when he most needs him?

The series is produced by Baby Cow Productions, written by Alan Carr, co-written by Gabby Best and was co-created by the late Simon Carlyle. The director is Dave Lambert and the producer is Mollie Freedman Berthoud. The Executive producers are Baby Cow’s Sarah Monteith and Rupert Majendie, Alan Carr and Danny Julian.

Baby Cow is one of BBC Studios owned production labels. BBC Studios are handling the international distribution of both series.

Episode 1

It’s 1987 and while the Cobblers top Division 4, Alan has the minefields of puberty, bullies and advances from Kay to deal with. If only he had self-belief, then, like the Cobblers, he could be in a league of his own.

Paula loved her son but had to make the heart-breaking decision to give him up for adoption. 57 years later, she still tearfully remembers the day she told him ‘to remember my voice, I will always love you’.

Sharon Thomas only learned that she had a younger brother when she was in her twenties. It was a family secret, even from her, that her teenage mother Margaret had a second child out of wedlock.

Long Lost Family Born Without Trace: What Happened Next

In this ‘What Happened Next?’ episode of Born Without Trace, we revisit two foundlings as they build family ties and make more life-changing discoveries.

In 1968, Caroline Harris-Gray was found at a hospital in North London, left in a vegetable box in the matron’s office. She went on to have a very happy adoption, but has always had questions about her identity, and about who it was that left her and why. When Caroline saw a newspaper article written from the time she was found, she discovered she was left in a dress and knitted cardigan:

Davina delivered the news that her birth father had sadly died, but that she had paternal family who could tell her more about him. Caroline connected with her paternal siblings Tina and Paul, and Aunt Gloria.

Brilliantly, when Caroline’s story went out on television, someone very special was watching and instantly recognised the story. It was Jan, the Police Officer who had been called to the hospital in Tottenham when Caroline was found.

Jan had kept photos of Caroline for decades, and now she knows why she did. Jan joyfully hands them over to her.

But that isn’t the end. The team also make the most significant breakthrough in Caroline’s case, answering the questions she has lived with for a lifetime, and bringing even more heart-warming family connections.  

Harvey Shackell is the foundling who was left on a doorstep on Christmas night in 1960. In the original programme, he met Vera Wood, owner of that doorstep who herself had been looking for him for years! And also his full sister Cherry and the largest number of half siblings we have ever found.

This programme catches up with Harvey and learns how his life has been transformed by the meeting this band of brothers (and sisters). They form an exceptionally loving tribe, into which Harvey has been fully welcomed:

We also see more of his new, extraordinary relationship with Vera, the woman whose doorstep he was left on, and find out how that connection has transformed his life, and got him through the most painful grief.

Produced by Wall-to-Wall Productions for ITV.
