Originating Territory: UK

BBC2 (UK) - 16 x 30'

Lost and Found in the Lakes sees Helen Skelton lead a team of experts in search of precious items lost by members of the public in the Lake District.  The series follows Helen and her team as they attempt to reunite people with the treasured possessions they’d feared were gone forever. The series captures the drama and suspense of uncovering the lost items, as well as talking to the people who have an emotional connection to both the area and the items lost.

Helen works with a team of experts from divers to detectorists and magnet fishers to track down all manner of lost items scattered around the lakebeds and forests of this stunning location. They’ll take what they find back to base, either to reunite them with their delighted owners, or to start the process of working out who the items might belong to. To do this, they enlist help of a specialist social media detective, who creates online campaigns to help reunite owners with their lost possessions.
