The British Broadcasting Corporation has contacted the main organisations and bodies involved in commemorating the 60th anniversary of VE Day, including the Royal British Legion (Malta), to help in the production of a programme for BBC 1 to mark the anniversary.

The BBC is researching and looking for people who have lost touch with friends and service colleagues since 1945, or unsung heroes from the war with interesting stories to tell.

We'll Meet Again will be transmitted on BBC1 on May 2. It will be a one hour pre-recorded studio special with the intention of reuniting old comrades, friends, sweethearts and war babies who have carried the memory of each other ever since the war.

The programme will tell wartime stories and then bring the episodes up-to-date with surprise reunions.

BBC 1 will be researching and filming stories until the beginning of April with the aim of recording the studio show in mid-April.

The production team can be contacted on 0870 5122 230.
