Programme on SBS last night was supposed to be  Vic Reeves - but they kept calling the man Jim - did I missed something?   Who is he anyway?    He seemed desperate to find a relative of high standing!

Interesting to see the scenery in which he was travelling and the accents!   We in Oz are so homogeneous by comparison.

vic reeves real name is james and therefore he is called jim.
he is a comedian mainly but does dabble in other things. its good to see sbs are now showing the stories of people who are not so well known over here.

Well, the fault wasn't with our telly, after all; ... this week's episode was far easier to understand.  The sound was clear, so both OH and I enjoyed the whole show.
I live in Sydney, Australia, and I'm researching: Powell, Tatham, Dunbar, Dixon, Mackwood, Kinnear, Mitchell, Morgan, Delves, & Anderson

Thanks Perth - it was an interesting programme - just that I came in late and missed the guy's proper name.
