Did I hear the 104 year old great aunt say a naughty word ?  :o

And was it the other very old lady who was living with the 104 y.o., that died ?   



Very interesting family; I loved the rags to riches and almost back to rags  story of Sampson Fox !

Yes, I think so, Pam was the youngest daughter of Hilda I think.  How hard for Mary to survive her sister!

I'm probably just ignorant or too old to know ... but who the **** is she ??   Could my lack of a TV be the reason ?   :)

I really enjoyed this episode, both because of the interesting family history, but also because Emilia Fox was so obviously interested in her ancestors, and also seemed a very decent person herself. I also liked the way her own pregnancy was woven into the story. It was good to know the baby came safely in the end. It was sad that Pam died, but how wonderful for her family to have her memories on tape like this. I wonder whether the BBC will give them the footage that wasn't aired?

I loved this episode, Emilia came across as a lovely woman and her Gt Aunts were fantastic also. The few comments from the elder of the two were worthy of such a theatrical family.
 I also enjoyed that it was entirely based in England without all the flitting about.
This series gets better and better  :)
