You could always catch up with bbc i player and its free.  I watch loads of programmes on my pc using this and ITV catch up.  I think the BBC one covers BB2 and BBC3 as well.  You can watch them online without having to download if you do it within 7 days.

They are not normally available until the day after the programme has been shown.

Just checked Ainsley one is on there.

It is free up to a point. Most Internet Providers have a maximum time you can download these progs, and after that, you can be charged over and above your monthly Broadband fee.

I thought that the unusual fact was that Ainsley's Harriot ancestor was married to a former slave , making him a legitimate descendant of a  slave owner .
I would like to have heard where John Briggs came from and why .
Was there a baptism for Joan Davy ?
And who was the "Bridget" listed as one of the mothers ?

I would like to see a series of 'Follow-up' programmes. Many the time it has been shown that there was great wealth within the family many years/generations ago, but all seems to have disapeared.  This time there was the abandoned church. It must belong to someone. Would love to know more about the financial side of the old estates and where the money went.

I watched this at a friends house ... but missed some of it.    (I dont have a TV !)

I've been trying to watch it again on iPlayer ... but every time I try it tells me it doesn't seem to be working.   iPlayer is fine for other stuff, but not for this ... can someone tell me if they can iPlayer Ainsley please ?

I can't help but agree.  Naturally they can't show everything in an hour, but how many times has it been said here that this, that or the other could have been covered in so and so episode?  If they can spend money doing follow ups to those annoying "lets find this person a new house" shows, they can surely follow up on what is one of their most popular prime time shows.

I did especially like this episode, which may have had something to do with Ainsley and his obviously presenting abilities...not a hint of falseness.  It truly felt like we were following his story and feelings.
