BRITAIN’S SECRET WAR BABIES

9PM, CH4 ★★★★ Hosted by Countryfile regular Sean Fletcher, this programme follows Mary and John, both children of African-american servicemen and British women, as they search for their fathers and learn more about their black heritage. They are two of some 2,000 such children born between 1942 and 1946 and, as well as connecting them with their longlost American families, Sean uncovers official documents that paint a bleak picture of the government’s reaction to the arrival of black GIS and the children they had with British mothers.
