 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

If my memory serves me right Carol, David celebrated his 65th birthday in August.  Typically, as with all flamboyant, larger than life, Leo's, you either love 'em or hate 'em !

Really impressed by David Dickinson in this episode.  Found the whole programme - in a strange way - exciting!  A bit of a trail of mystery, but very moving in parts.  Thought he worked very hard at it all...

I really enjoyed this one too.

What I did notice although he may of had it given to him later was that David only wrote down the information.

I would have took my camera or pleaded for photocopies of all the family information he was shown.

I  found tonights programme very interesting, especially as it gave another
perspective from an adoptees point of view, I felt quite sorry for him. Although he has a flamboyant life style now as we now know it was not always so.

I knew this would happen! I really can't stand David Dickinson but this was a truly engrossing programme and definetly the best (so far!) in this series. Keith's right, it  was all rather exciting. For once, it didn't seem to matter that it was David Dickinson doing what he does best - talking about David Dickinson!

I also enjoyed this programme, despite not liking David Dickinson .
On the whole, a good series so far.

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I found this programme particularly interesting, but very sad.  Fancy never being allowed to see your birth mother even though you know where she lives.

I also found it interesting, because, not only does he live quite near me in Macclesfield, I also know the house in Warford, where his grandparents lived, as well as the streets in Manchester where he was searching.  

I must say, he was very lucky that so many people in Instanbul spoke English.  

All in all, a very entertaining episode.
