Hillsborough survivor's appeal for help finding the man who saved his life goes viral.

An appeal to find a 'hero' who helped pull an eight-year-old boy from the crush at Hillsborough has gone viral.

Joe Smith was just 8 years old when he survived the Hillsborough tragedy and is trying to find the person who saved his life 27 years ago.  Now 35-years-old, he posted an appeal on Facebook this week to try and find the man.  It came after he saw himself on the man's shoulders for the first time when he watched a BBC documentary about the tragedy this week.   That post has now been shared more than 125,000 times.  We look at what's known officially as either multi-level marketing or network marketing - but which you might know as people on the internet trying to tell you how selling juices has changed their life.  We investigate a controversial scheme in Scotland which means every child will have a named person, like a teacher or a health visitor, to look out for their welfare.   Is it too much like "Big Brother" or are we just trying to protect our children ?  And ahead of this weekend's Eurovision final we hear from fans who've travelled to the event.
