Lifestyle Documentaries For BBC Three

A new season of programmes exploring what life is like for young parents in the UK, Bringing Up Britain, has been unveiled.
Following the continued success of factual programming on BBC Three, the channel's Acting Controller Harry Lansdown, said it will air this spring, with a collection of enlightening documentaries from the frontline of parenthood that will provide audiences with a window into the complex and varied lives of young parents, and the many issues they are faced with in today's society.
Harry Lansdown said: "Factual on BBC Three continues to go from strength to strength and I'm delighted to announce this new range of programmes that, in their different ways, paint an intimate picture of childhood and the numerous pressures on parenting in contemporary Britain."
Leading the season is Cherry Healey Investigates - Is Breast Best? while Fast Food Baby, follows parents who are feeding a future of bad teeth and medical problems to their offspring, but are determined to wean their children off their junk food addictions.
Meet The Multiples captures what life is really like for couples in this situation - from the physical toll of being pregnant to insights into how it feels to reach young adulthood having grown up with so many same-aged siblings.
What If My Baby Is Born Like Me? follows Jono Lancaster (Love me, Love My Face) and his girlfriend Laura as they try to decide if, and how, they will ever have children together.
Jono was born with Treacher Collins syndrome – a rare genetic condition that has affected every aspect of his life – and any child he fathers will have a 50/50 chance of inheriting the condition. Jono and Laura explore the science, ethics and very human stories behind the decisions faced by other people with genetic conditions.
The Gatwick Baby - Abandoned At Birth follows Steven Hyde's life-defining search to find out his true identity.
Stephen was abandoned in the ladies toilet at Gatwick Airport when he was just 10-days-old.
With no birth certificate or clue to even his country of origin, Steven has spent his whole life not knowing where he came from. Now, 24 years later, and with the help of DNA testing, Steven is hoping to find the answers he's been so desperately searching for.
Building on the success of previous BBC Three collaborations, BBC Learning will support the season with a series of online videos featuring young parents sharing their stories from the frontline of parenthood and offering practical peer-to-peer tips and advice. The season website also provides links to organisations that can continue to help young parents manage the wide range of issues they face.
