Thanks!

It was very interesting if different - and a difficult subject as it affects people who are still very much alive and, pressumably have no idea of what kind of person George Baugh really was.

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.
