Who you really are can be hard to face

Written by Peter Bowker, Christopher Eccleston and Emma Cunniffe star in Flesh and Blood, which tells the story of a father whose world is turned upside down when he discovers the truth about his origins.

Adopted at birth, Joe Broughton (Christopher Eccleston) is overwhelmed by an obsessive desire to trace his real parents after the birth of his daughter Marie. When he discovers that his mother and father have learning disabilities and never knew they had a child, his world is blown apart. For Joe as well as his wife Cath (Emma Cunniffe), it's the beginning of a rollercoaster journey which challenges not only his preconceptions about disability, but also his sense of his own identity.
