I thought this was an excellent programme
It remedied the deficiencies of the earlier episodes.
I had slightly hoped that my Whateley family might be connected but there was no sign of that unsurprisingly.
I was disappointed though that the clergymen who may have been interested, were ignored, but there was so much interesting material, that it was not surprising.
Definitely best of the series

I agree, it was a really good programme, reminiscent of previous series. Not surprising though as his was filmed at the same time as the last one and held over to this one 
Maybe the new production company can learn something from this episode

Isn't this the first WDYTYA series without Nick Barratt's involvement ?

I was just going on what was said on a previous thread, I got the impression from that it had changed. If it hasn't they are obviously in the 'change the recipe to improve things' way of thinking that most things you like tend to get....very rarely is it an improvement

Completely agree! best show of the entire series! for me they have all centred far too much on one person which yes is good, to a degree, but when in a one hour shot... well, this is how I want it! back to shakespears days!, with lots of showing of how the phases went, from finding one record to looking for the next...
this episode has reminded me why i loved the show so much, wheras most of the series... well, i coulda spent better time going out and watching the paint grow... at night!! LOL
lets hope the next series will go back to this formulae and not concentrate too much on one or two individuals

Well that was much better! Really enjoyed it.
I was especially interested in the part about Newcastle City Hall. That was where I graduated in 1987! [BA OU]
Agree with previous comments. I never left my seat last night. In all the other programmes I was up making coffee etc.!

Brilliant!!!! The best episode in a long time! If I have to be negative about anything, it will have to be that I wanted more - the hour just flew by and at the end I thought - surely it hasnt finished already! (I don't think thats really a negative) 
Other programmes in the series I've been waiting for the end!
Anyway, as others have said - I hope the series makers take a lesson from this and repeat this format in future episodes.

Not seen the programme yet, OH goes out on a Monday night, so I record it and we watch it Tuesday. Good job it's repeated on Tuesdays as all yesterday's recordings on Skyplus failed!!
