'Ordinary people doing amazing things', says Frank Bruno - this year's host on People. It's a fresh challenge for Frank, who's joined by Jeni Barnett , Lucy Pilkington ,
Chris Serle and others.
They will be telling your stories - extraordinary, heartwarming, sad and celebratory. This week, John Pitman meets the singer, adopted at birth, who's spent a lifetime searching for his real family. Now he's made an extraordinary discovery. Jeni follows an insurance man from Dagenham who has another life; he's a medieval knight.
Plus a visit with 200 homeless people who've taken direct action to put a roof over their heads. They've commandeered a hospital.
And Chris opens his summer season trying to become a children's entertainer. A hostile audience is only the first of his problems, in at the deep end.

Anna Ford and her guests ask whether certain techniques used by programme-makers are always justified, including hidden cameras and 'surprise interviews' with alleged wrong-doers. Does the need to produce an interesting television programme sometimes conflict with individual rights of privacy, fairness and justice?
Solicitor Laurie Avadis is highly suspicious of some of the methods used; following this film, the argument is pursued by producers and viewers. Film director EMMA READ
