Foundlings
Hardeep Singh Kohli meets Iain Hogg and Alison Lofthouse, who tell a remarkable story of abandonment.
In the first programme of this four part series Hardeep Singh Kohli meets Iain Hogg and Alison Lofthouse. 40 years ago in the Scottish seaport of Grangemouth two babies were found cold, alone and abandoned just 18 months apart. For 35 years those two people thought they were the only one to be found in this way until they made an astonishing discovery. As Hardeep cooks Sunday lunch for Iain and Alley he hears about the events that finally brought them together and why uncovering the identity of the woman who abandoned them remains an issue.
Producer: Catherine Earlam.

500g lamb shoulder or leg, cut into chunks
A pint of full fat milk
250ml single cream

Some runny honey
A small bag of pistachios
