I really like this series ;D
I like the way that, due to Covid, the subjects aren't spoon-fed information. They have to actually read the documents ;D

A little bit of a nit-pick, though.
The band Pixie sang with was the Blues & Royals (As seen on the drum) and not the Life Guards.

Not quite correct.

The band was half Life Guards and half Blues an Royals. The scarlet tunics and white plumes are
Life Guards, blue tunics and red plumes are Blues and Royals.

Good factual stuff, but I couldn't help being distracted by Pixie's wardrobe changes and yellow fingernails.  I got the feeling that there had been a lot of off screen discussion and prompting with Pixie and the researchers to make the finished programme run smoothly, but they certainly turned up some interesting information.

These programmes have certainly had a very different feel from earlier series.

Um …. I think I might be the odd one out here, but I found her quite annoying. That (speaking) voice.   :P Several inappropriate outfits too I thought. Interesting stories though.  :)

I think that Joe Sugg’s one is going to feature Hugenot ancestry? (Unsure of spelling;-)

What was annoying about her voice?
What was inappropriate about her outfits?

You like some, you dislike some, that's simply a matter of taste/choice. 
But what's critical is "Interesting stories though"

PS I loved her nail colour  ;)
