Take flight with Sky1's affecting and emotionally-charged new documentary series, hosted by Kate Thornton.
Airports aren't just about exhausting queues, enraging delays and the perils of lost luggage. They are the 24-hour backdrop to emotional reunions, and tear-tinged goodbyes, with the hustle and bustle of people on the move hiding a host of human stories. Now, in a touching new series for Sky1, Kate Thornton meets the everyday people whose heartache and joy is played out at the check-in desks and departure gates of the UK's busiest airport.
Based mainly at Heathrow's Terminals 3 and 5, Kate hits the runway determined to uncover the stories behind the daily arrivals and departures. Weaving her way through the carousels of suitcases, Kate makes contact with people from all cultures and walks of life, teasing out touching tales of love and sorrow, friendship and family loyalty. From the lovers being parted by thousands of miles, to the wives and children awaiting the return of husbands and fathers, Kate meets a range of people as they experience some of the saddest, and happiest, moments of their lives.
A show that tugs at the heartstrings, Hello Goodbye puts a human face to a traditionally anonymous environment, briefly sharing the uplifting or turbulent personal dramas of the people who pass through the airport system.
