What an interesting programme
I cannot be the only person who was moaning loudly at the WONDERFUL pictures and other documentary evidence Rory Bremner had about his family - a CRIMEAN DIARY!!!!! in his great grandfather's handwriting!!!! - and he didn't even know he had them.
How totally fantastic! 
I wish, oh, how I wish........

I would imagine quite a few of us have just finished watching Rory Bremner in WDYTYA.
How lucky is he to have all that information at his fingertips? Completed family tree, letters and photographs, but seeming not to know it was there.
Once again it should remind us to pick the brains of all our family etc
As I am not as lucky as he, its back to the hard grind we all enjoy so much.
Looking forward to next weeks episode.
Happy searching

I found it really interesting too. I found found myself getting really angry because they had all those fantastic pictures, the medals and the mouthwateringly wonderful Crimean Diary and none of them had taken the trouble to look at them!  Then the BBC came along and did all the work for him. SO UNFAIR!!! Pure jealousy on my part. I did enjoy it though.  Elin
How can you be jealous ? They only went back two generations !

The amount of generations is immaterial. The important thing is the amount of information that makes up an ancestor's profile.

I enjoyed it, and liked the fact it focused on family history. But also very envious of the family having so many heirlooms. My own dear Ag Labs and Brushmakers left little personal trace.

I felt it was something of a waste of the resources of all those BBC researchers! All the information was already there if only they had taken the time to read it!
Interesting to see what they already had, but would have been of much more interest if we saw some degree of searching for information to uncover the histories. After all, that is the real focus of these programmes - searching to find information about our ancestors and their stories. This was a little bit 'on a plate'.

I agree with Tracy.
And I didn't find it very interesting at all.
