i enjoyed the episode very much.
allthough not going back very far and concentrating on just 1 or 2 ancestors is getting to be a bit boring. there was nothing in the show that couldnt have been found in a couple of weekends, no matter how intersesting it was.
also do we have to have a preview of whats coming up at the start of the show. im sure most of us are able to keep our interest for an hour without having to know whats going to happen
I agree with all that Perth said.
I also think there were many unanswered questions surrounding this episode (as often there is).
I do sometimes think that it would be better/more interesting (?) to continue further back through the generations and just touch on the relevant stories rather than go into so much detail about one or two people. However I realize that there is usually a specific angle to each programme, but sometimes I find that I am left a bit wanting especially when it is such a close relative as a father or grandfather that is the extent of the ancestry traced. In these cases it is more like a programme about a couple of interesting ancestors than a genealogy programme. It doesn't really help our understanding of Who We Think They Are.
I also avoided reading about the programme in our TV Guide as even a quick glimpse gave a lot of the story away. It's nice to get a surprise sometimes and I would like to see the press releases give out less information.
The film clips on WDYTYA are always excellent (as are the UK ones) - great archive footage.
Still, all in all, a great programme - great series - very enjoyable.
