I've already seen it.  Cheesy It was shown on BB1 Scotland last night (football on tonight).  Luckily I had it in my planner or would have missed it!

I thought it was good.

I found it to be very interesting.
Paul O'Grady makes a bit more sense now that I understand the timetable mix up.

Should we have a prize for whoever finds out what actually became of his great grandmother?  Lips Sealed

Unfortunately, Rugby is on ITV3, so I'm having to record WDYTYA and watch it later.  That's why I'm on the comp now!!

I wish these programmes weren't so painfully contrived though    Roll Eyes

He has four certificates arrive (alledgedly 'ordered' by Griff... hmm..yeah, as if) and, lo! the first one isn't his ancestor! Neither is the 2nd..or the third! I wonder, could the last one possibly be the person he's looking for....

Yes!!!

Quelle surprise

It is all organised by the BBC.

He basically said that the programme decided that they would be searching that particular line. He was much more interested in following his father's father's father's line. Or at least that is what he seemed to say on the Paul O'Grady Show today.
