Interesting! A bit more like Heir Hunters than WDYTYA but an interesting episode and I understand why Kim wanted to know the answers.
I really admired the strong women in that family and maybe now I shall have to watch an episode of S** in the City. Kim was not at all how I expected her to be.

I found this interesting. I noticed that the 3 sisters did actually meet their half siblings.[ Maybe another programme there!]
I hope no one complains about emotional reactions, or the fact that they only went back two generations!

Made a great TV prog. Never mind if she didn't go back that far, it was interesting.
Mind you, my Grt. Grandfather deserted three sets of children before he settled down with his fourth family. Perhaps the BBC would like to fill in some of my gaps!!

I thought it was really moving,
my granddad , also left his family in the early 1930's, when my mum was 4 years old,
He had a bigamous marriage,
the children from this marriage did,nt know about their half siblings, even though they all lived in the same town,
when I found out a few years ago, it was a very emotional journey, talking to lost relatives and putting all the piece's together,
"There's nowt stranger than folk "

Sounds like a lot of us have a 'George Baugh' in the family. I thought it was very interesting and well done.

What a completely selfish and arrogant man, who did not deserve his fine and decent first family.
I admired the behaviour of the ladies at the end of the programme - no histrionics, but just quiet acceptance of George Baugh's disgraceful behaviour.
They all turned out to be fine and respectable people, and we should all take our hats off to Marion, who did a sterling job on her girls.

I found this programme absolutely riveting!
Possibly because my own maternal Grandfather abandoned his wife and nine children during WW2 & married bigamously...
Other parallels with this episode were that he then also took his second family to Australia, - (after a spell in Brixton Gaol for bigamy:-)
I've never heard of Kim Cattrell, but as others on here have mentioned, I was also impressed by the strong women in her family...& would love to see a 'follow up' episode.

I really enjoyed this programme as did my OH. I did think that if George's 2nd family was still in the UK, they would look at the TV and learn that their father was a bigamist. However, of course, the 2nd family in Australia had obviously been contacted and forewarned.
I was happy for Kim Cattrell had made contact with George's sisters, I think it made it somewhat easier for the family to realise that he had deserted his mother and sisters too. Hopefully, they are catching up on lost time too.
I'm surprised the 3 women weren't bitter, realising how much they and their mother struggled, whilst their father and his 2nd family were living quite a happy life.

I don't think there could be any complaints about the search only going back a couple of generations - many of us have a mysterious disappearing relative on our trees, and the fact that it is relatively recently doesn't actually make the search any easier. The most annoying 'absence' in my tree is not someone back in the 1800s, but my great-grandfather, so I could really relate to this episode.
I like the variety of histories that have been included in this series. I think something for everyone. Hopefully next week will provide something different againl.

It appears that I must be alone in being very dissappointed with this episode.
It is true that this story was very sad and the grandfather was an absolute cad but spending nearly the whole hour focusing on one ancestor meant they had to pad it out. And pad it out they did; it is no wonder the sisters became weepy, I certainly would if I had a camera on my face for that long whilst hearing such awful news.
Even the old lady (the grandfather's sister in law I think) I am sure felt awkward just sitting there with the cameras on them for so long, so what do you do when you feel awkward? offer to put the kettle on!! Great TV - not!
Last week's episode was much better.

I found this programme absolutely rivetting! Personally, I felt that this one was different to Kate Humble for example because in this instance no one had any idea about George Baugh. Therefore, even though they were looking at 'living history' I didn't sit there thinking 'if you had asked them at the time, you would know all of this'.
