Now available on Channel 4 website to watch again, family history programme featuring Lincolnshire's premier human crash test dummy:

"Guy Martin visits the Baltics to learn the truth about his Latvian grandfather. He uncovers a story involving prisoner of war camps, daring escapes and the constant threat of death or deportation."

More interesting and positive programme than the blurb implies. Includes some brief shots of archival records research in WDYTYA tradition...

Thanks for that

I've recorded that. I'm looking forward to watching it, both because I find Guy Martin and Latvia equally as  fascinating.

Yes I watched the first broadcast of it and recommend it as a historical, family history & documentary programme. I can't imagine WDYTYA stars getting the Russian guards' roughhousing treatment though.
