I could make some crack about you two separated at birth and the heir hunters finding him years later but I won't  ;D ;D ;D

It's the unfortunate adoption so not entitled story tomorrow if nadia was to be believed this morning.

I absolutely agree with madpants, so much better viewing than all the usual, antique, house auction, buying programmes that are.

Or am I just biased because I'm into genealogy  ::)

I agree too!
In fact, doesn't the programme deserve an evening slot?

No we need more intelligent daytime programmes.  Not all of us who watch daytime TV are braindead or dumb! :(

I have to confess that I didn't really like the programme to begin with.  However, l watch it regularly now and enjoy it VERY much. 

Seeing this programme has certainly encouraged me to make a will.  I don't like the thought of my money going to someone I've NEVER even met and who I might not have even liked, whatever the family connection.

I wonder if Fraser and Fraser have considered using Rootschat as a means for tracing people?

They have far more resources - esp for actually locating people's whereabouts.
