Heir Hunters prime time

[purplekat]

So it was on last night then, I was really annoyed as I was expecting to watch it after It Takes Two but BBC Scotland showed Landward

You can watch it on iPlayer

I could do Nick or it could be that we're one behind, just checked the TV Times and Monday's programme is about a cricket fan who died in Durham and a German prisoner of war, is that the one you watched yesterday?  Next Friday is Landward again but this time I'll be ready for it and watch the One show

The writer of the music was Daniel Mulhern, who has written music for quite a few TV programmes.  I don't think it's so much a problem with the music - it's a problem with the repetitive mixing of the same clips over and over again  

Not just the music- we're also getting the same bits from the two Bona Vacantia people on each programme.

Also, without checking on i-player, didn't the advice on the order in intestacy go from spouse to parents & omit children, though they got a mention later?

I was watching last night's programme, and I had a real shock - David Pacifico actually broke into a grin !

Good grief Nick I didn't notice that! How very odd!    Poor David, aren't we mean!  And we haven't seen Ewart being sent up on a wild goose chase to Scotland yet (he's based in the Watford area I think, hehe)

Do you know what..............I actually like David Pacifico and it doesn't bother me that he's sometimes a little serious...........it's just his way, I believe.

The music doesn't bother me, although I sometimes think a commercial break is coming up and then I realise it's just the music and a change in subject.......and of course it's a BBC channel.

I love the programme as it is with a good mix of peoples stories and Fraser and Fraser office life.

My only wish is that it would be shown on alternate days as I don't always have the time to spare each day to watch it and if I record it I end up with too big a back log and therefore still don't watch them all.  Actually only seen 3 out of 5 so far this week. Hope to catch up over the weekend.

This is the synopsis of the programme aired on Friday :

"David Bernstein died alone in a derelict house Brighton, leaving an estate worth around 300,000 pounds. David was from a Jewish immigrant family, and with Bernstein an extremely common name, the team have their work cut out.

The heir hunters also investigate the estate of music fanatic Donald Foster, whose family worked at the famous Cadbury factory in Birmingham. Plus, details of three unsolved cases. "

Thanks Nick, I think I'll watch it on iplayer so I don't miss out

Hi - our order of intestacy did include children in the voice over...

Also yes we realise the BV interviews can get a bit repetitive (they are not the same every show) - when we planned the programmes we thought they we going out weekly (no excuse) and we also had limited time and topics to discuss with the treasury

Hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the shows this week
