Hi all, you can see Ron's episode as a free download on the SBS website - it is hard to find but scroll through the TV page and you'll find the series website. His ep will be up for a week only. Then Sigrid for a week etc etc.

Great, that's a relief! Thanks for letting us know.

I really enjoyed Ron Barrassi's episode.

I got a bit teary...I could see he was struggling at times.  Looking forward to the next one!

I read an interesting article recently "psycho-genealogy" which spoke of the emotional upheaval that it can bring...especially when our forefathers choose not to tell us something to protect us...and we stumble upon it later on without any forewarning.  I thought of poor Ron immediately.

Here's the link for anyone interested.

It was an emotional and very interesting episode on Ron Barassi and I cant wait for the rest of the series. What would we do without SBS and the ABC ;)

I thoroughly commend the producers of this series who do an incredible job :)

I just had a spare hour to sit down and watch the Barassi episode. That hour flew past - really enjoyed this programme. I can't fault it.

One of the best WDYTYA's I've seen, and that includes all the UK ones (and he didn't have to set foot outside Australia).  ;)

What a story! Well told.
