While this series mainly features stories of triumph over tragedy, it's almost impossible not to get a bit weepy watching it. This first programme is certainly no exception.
Eleven-week-old Nicole who was born with a cleft lip and palate. Although the plastic surgeon performs this operation on about 35 babies a year, it is a delicate procedure because the tissues are so fine. If the parents' understandable relief at the success of the operation doesn't get you reaching for a hanky, the sight of 15-year-old Russell's parents kissing him "goodbye" as he goes into the operating theatre to have a faulty heart valve replaced, probably will.
On a more upbeat note, we say goodbye to Adele who, after six months in hospital, can finally go home.
