I too have just discovered Coming Home after reading about the John Prescott programme  in the paper.
Why can't the BBC put it on English TV. I now have to wait for the iPlayer to have it on.

Here is a short preview Inchworm :

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/8382869.stm

Although having just watched the full programme, I'm not sure what the alleged evidence is, or what information was obtained to substantiate the claims ??

See what you think ?

Thank you Pels for the preview link.
Mmmm, no concrete evidence. Not sure what to think. I will watch the full version when it's available on the iPlayer.
BBC Wales have some good progs that us English rarely get to see or hear about.

I have just watched the Prescott program in iPlayer .....

While the assumptions made regarding Athalia and her father cannot be disproved neither can they be proved with any certainty at all as none of the parties concerned are with us any more.

- I can only presume that the researcher had access to more information than was shown in the program.

I too have now watched the programme. Thank you iPlayer!
It may have been true, or there could have been other possibilities. I wonder if the researchers had explored everything.  :o
