Does anyone know whether the item about Joyce Britton's photograph album was broadcast on 3rd September on BBC Sussex?  If it was on, I would like to find it and listen to it on iPlayer, but need to know when it was broadcast.

The 'challenge' certainly seems to have provoked a lot of interest, but I would understand if the family didn't want to be pushed into the limelight.  It would be nice if BBC Sussex could acknowledge the efforts of all the researchers who managed to piece together her story from very small clues.

I didnt get to see / hear it either and have wondered what happened in the end

Maybe Jean McGurn could post a little update - explaining the what the outcome was that BBC sussex broadast ... ?

Oh dear and I thought someone may have heard.
It wasn't on BBC TV so must have been on the radio. I tried looking at the BBC Sussex website and there's not been anything at all.

I had Radio Sussex on for most of the day on Friday and didn't hear anything.

I'll try contacting the niece again (she's the one who was told by the BBC that it would be going out on the 3rd).  I checked with her last week and she'd been trying to speak to the presenter who'd given her that date - but had ended up just having to leave messages on his mobile!!  Dazey

Hullo all; this is to let you know that we hope to broadcast the result of the hunt for Joyce Britton's family on BBC South East Today on Thursday 9th September at 6.30pm. This date may change, but that's the target at the moment. The BBC would like to thank all of those in the genealogical community who have put time and effort into helping us to tell this intriguing story.
