Episode 2

‘Euston Baby’ Rachel’s adoptive mother always told her ‘you were like Paddington Bear, you were found at a train station’, but the parallels end there as Rachel still bears physical scars from her time left alone in a battered carry cot in Euston Station’s long-stay car park more than 50 years later. 

For most foundlings, the time and place they were left is all they know about their beginnings. Foundling Steve doesn’t even know this – taken into care from an unlicensed foster home, he doesn’t exist in any records before he was nine months old.

Episode 7

Joel Dommett’s pacy new game show where two families shout at the telly to win a big cash prize. Can they think fast and shout faster as the clips flash past? 

Catch up on ITVX here

Series overview

Joel Dommett is back with a new series of the high octane game show, ‘In With A Shout’, where contestants are challenged to shout at the TV to win a fortune.  

A fan favourite when it first aired in 2023, this fast-paced gameshow sees two families battle against each other in a thrilling game with a uniquely challenging twist. With an impressive prize of a whopping £20,000, the contestants will have to answer questions hidden within a montage of moving images.  

To win the cash, the contestants will have to shout the answers they see on ten TV screens from ten different categories. For every question they get right, they move up the money ladder, but every question they get wrong sends them back down. The pressure is on, as the families will have to bank as much cash as possible to avoid crashing out altogether.    

With a brand new, dramatic head-to-head round where fortunes can flip completely, one contestant from each rival family will face off, pushing and pulling against each other in a tug-of-war to earn big money and book their place in the final.

The stakes are high for the winning family, who will have just 60 seconds to successfully answer questions correctly to turn off the ten TV’s. If they fail to turn off all ten tellies within the timeframe, they walk away with nothing.  

Across the six weeks series one aired, ITV1’s Saturday 7pm slot was up +20% year-on-year for volume and the series reached 3.5m viewers every week.

Ellie Simmonds: Finding My Secret Family

Repeat showing of 2024 BAFTA award winning documentary

Available now on ITVX here

Ellie Simmonds is a gold winning Paralympian swimmer who won the nation’s hearts when she took part in last year’s Strictly Come Dancing, the first person with dwarfism to compete on the show. 

Her trailblazing success and can-do positivity are well known to the public, but behind the scenes she’s been living with a secret.  

Just ten days after she was born, Ellie was placed for adoption. Ellie has often wondered if this decision was taken after her parents were told she had a disability and if being born with dwarfism influenced their decision. As Ellie reaches a new stage in her life she wants to reach out and find her birth mother and gain a wider understanding about why children from diverse backgrounds are more likely to be placed for adoption.

Whilst searching for her birth mother, Ellie meets those on the front-line of adoption services in the UK and discovers challenging truths parents are still facing today. This is a story about nature vs nurture, forgiveness and love.
