But Gary, did you see the rest of it? Crumbs, poor Bill obviously had mixed emotions after hearing about his sister's passing, and the circumstances surrounding it. I was glued to the tele the whole time, and I plan to watch it next week, too. Glenys.

Perhaps the the programme straight after on BBC 4 will be more Nuts and Bolts, so far i am enjoying it. Steve.

There's also a message board on the bbc site family history talking history. It'll probably only be operational for length of the programmes but perhaps may lead to people who wouldn't normally have a look at genealogy message boards looking and perhaps unlocking some brick walls.

Dear Trevor, I wish I was on it,then I might get somewhere with my lot. I will watch it tonight,and I predict a lot of people will start to think about how little they know about family. I see many more on GC. chasing them. Every little helps. Good Luck. Margaret.

Trevor, today I bought next week's TV Quick, and Amanda's featured in it, along with the family of course. The feature is harrowing in places, and brings home just how much I, for one, take for granted these days. It's a really interesting feature, though. Will look out for you next week! Regards, Glenys.

I am featured on the 2nd in the series 19th October, as my cousin Amanda Redman is the celeb in question. The TV researchers used my information and contacts, built up over a number of years. I noticed a comment on another board, about featuring "real" rather than known TV personalities...I have to say that although based around the featured person, these programmes do show unknown family members, all of which have history and stories to tell. Bearing in mind that next weeks programme features mainly our Grandmother's line, and that that is only a small part of the total Family Tree I have established, I have to say (without being biased!), that the personal stories, emotions, and memories, from the contributors are amazing, as I am sure each of the forthcoming 10 part series will be. Each programme is unpredictable, and shows often moving journey's into each's own family history.
