hi
If anything it may serve to "educate" people in how to do things properly.
The people involved were so convinced that their connection was true, despite all the evidence.
If you accept that the child played with the the young princess it also proves how "Family Stories" can get altered and corrupted when passed down thru generations.

Hi
For anybody still interested the series is being repeated on Sky 3 at 8.00pm starting tonight Monday 5th Jan 2009. If repeated in the same order I am in the last one in 6 wks time

Hi
We were offered the services of a professional, Nick Barrett, we supplied some documents that were in the family and some photographs, Nick and the research team were given the minimum of information, his job was to prove or disprove the story.
In turn my wife ,my youngest daughter and myself were taken for  two full weeks on an all expenses paid journey and received a very comprehensive folder of documents.
We had access to people, places and experiences which would not have been possible if it had not been for opportunity presented to us
As Patrish said if we had already proved the story then the filming would have been very boring and would have lacked any reaction.
Without giving anything away, at some point in tonight's programme (assuming that they show the scene), when confronted by a certain object the hairs on my neck were standing up, not a reaction you could have got had I known what was about to happen.
Have you ever had  breakfast in Somerset, Lunch in London and Dinner in York??
Even more strange is riding down a road following a car, approaching a roandabout, and not knowing which exit you are taking...............
For the experience we had I think I would have paid them........
Will try to log back on Friday to answer any more question after the program

hi
its seem that it has been dropped by Sky One,it is however still showing on Sky Three on Thursday and Sunday.
As to .........."Admittedly, part of the attraction was trying to work out why it was so important to these people to be related to 'someone of royal birth', but it did contain a bit of actual genealogy as well."............
As I have said "it was an amazing two weeks of traveling and a once in a lifetime opportunity of having professionals doing the work. We also ended up with a stack of information, papers and references which would have taken years to collect any other way, also access to some people and places which would otherwise be impossible.
