I've been watching the first series and now the second series on one of the history channels recently. Problem is there obviously weren't that many because I have seen particular episode 3 times now

There are a few weeks of repeats from both first ( I think this week) and the second (next 2 weeks) all showing on BBC2 @ 2.15.
More news is that we are just finishing the 3rd series that is due to be shown in the usual June/July 9.15 BBC 1 slot, this is 25 programs this time and shows Fraser's doing all the live cases but several new firms showing some of there interesting solved cases.
We are still looking for the last 1 or 2 cases to make it a bit different and were hoping that a member of the public would have given us a case so it could be filmed from a different sort of angle, what it was like to find out some one had no known family/heirs but so far the few we have filmed have not been suitable. As always if you know of a some thing that is worth us having a look at just drop me an email vir the web page.

Neil,
I would normally ask this via Personal Message, but as you have so few posts, you can't yet use the PM service, so I will ask the question here.
Do you know if heir hunter companies usually carry indemnity insurance themselves, or is it down to those who get the money to take this out ?
I'm asking because for the past year I have been involved in legal action to recover money from a close relative's estate - the money was paid out to distant cousins, because the heir hunter company involved (I'm pretty sure it wasn't Fraser and Fraser) failed to find either mine or my sister's birth, even though our births were registered in the same London borough that our parents were married in. My parents didn't get married until nearly 2 years after my sister was born (my mother was still married to someone else), and apparently the company didn't do any searches until after the date of our father's marriage to my mother  They would have no excuse for not finding me, because I was born 2 years after they were married, and my birth was registered in the same office that they were married in (we're talking early 1940's here).
The distant cousins took out a missing heirs indemnity, but they slightly under-insured themselves, and now the insurance company seem to want to haggle over the interest payable, so it's quite likely it will end up in the County Court.
My question is - the heir hunter company involved (and we have yet to find out who it was) did a lousy job finding us, and it's quite likely that we will sue them. Do heir hunter companies in general have insurance to cover themselves against such actions when big mistake has been made by them ?
Nick.

Fraser & Fraser certainly do. I'm not sure if the smaller ones will. It's not a legal requirement, as far as I know.
