Scottish Television area the program is delayed until 10.40pm because of football.

I was pretty annoyed  >:( until I remembered that with digital telly I can tune into the other BBC regions so don't have to wait till 10.40  ;D

Bless him! He was just so excited by it all! Ah that feeling of finding something or someone :)

Very lucky in being able to find everything so well! No brick walls there...

Not sure about how he managed to break the news about his nanna's grave to his mum - think maybe the direct approach not the best??

Thought this particular episode was simply stunning.  What a good type Colin Jackson is - all his various family members and people he met in his search for his roots quite obviously genuinely liked him and took to him.  His enthusiasm and delight and appreciation for the whole pursuit meant I found a perpetual smile on my face; except of course when he discovers what actually happened to the last resting place of his grandmother.
The very best of any of these programmes that I have seen, by a long chalk...

I started off not being sure about the DNA thing, but ended up being engrossed as usual, and getting quite emotional about Colin's gran being moved to a communal grave because no-one paid the rent on the original grave site.  :'(

I thought Colin came over really well, enthusiastic and so excited about it all.

Can't wait for David Tennant next week.  :D
