Missing Pieces - First Episode

Long-running reality series Missing Pieces specialised in reuniting family members who had lost contact over many years or never met. Losing her parents at a young age inspired Hawke's Bay woman Ashlee Woods to search for her half-brother, the son from her dad's first marriage. Producer David Lomas (Lost and Found) and his team finds her sibling in Melbourne, and discovers her family tree extends even further. Meanwhile, seriously ill Queenslander Kelly Traille is in a race against time. She requires a bone marrow transplant, which is only possible if her absent Kiwi birth father and his kids can be located. 

....Bob was doing the loving, affectionate thing with Ashlee, and it's like whoa: don't know how the kids are dealing with this, because they never had that.

– Noeline Freer (whose two sons were abandoned by Bob Wood) fights emotions while watching old home video footage of her ex-partner with his new family
