Trevor Nelson and half siblings 1/3

BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Trevor Nelson and half siblings 1/3

DJ Trevor Nelson uncovers what it is like to discover you have got half-siblings.

DJ and presenter Trevor Nelson meets Adrienne, who has eight half-siblings and tries to convince Trevor that they really are one big happy family.

DJ and radio presenter Trevor Nelson grew up in London and came to find out he had half siblings on the Caribbean island of St Lucia. However, for Trevor and his three sisters who were raised by his parents in the UK, this was something that didn't really have an impact on his family life until much later when Trevor finally met his half siblings.

It's something that has fascinated Trevor all his life, and now in this series of One to One, he meets people to uncover what it's like to have, or to find out you have, half siblings.

In this programme, Trevor meets Adrienne who has eight half siblings but no full brothers and sisters. She tells Trevor that that there is no jealousy and rivalry and that they really are one big happy family. Really?

The producer is Perminder Khatkar.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
