Heir Hunters prime time

[PBirchwood]

When I started working in the missing heir business I was with a firm that had good contacts with one of the large US companies. We would get a lot of cases from them. One fax asked us to look for the next of kin of someone from California. It didn't supply the date of death which we queried. The reply was "She's not dead yet but will be any day now!"

It's great to see one of the other heir hunting companies posting here, and we hope you will stick around and pop in whenever you can.   I'm sure you have many amusing stories to tell.  Heir Hunters is a very interesting programme, because it shows a few companies of differing sizes, all with their own ways of operating, and I hope this format continues in the forthcoming series.  Although it's really interesting to see how Fraser and Fraser operates, the smaller companies are very interesting too.

I agree Nick, it's one of the strengths of the programme I think, that we see different companies and how they go about similar tasks.  I love to see that guy working from his shed, it fascinates me!  Is that Mr. Birchwood? I think it might be.  Wish I had a shed like that to work from!

Hopefully this Heir Hunters re-mix will prove popular and the next series will have an evening spot in the schedules.

I found the new series to be very enjoyable, and it was great to see the lovely Lisa Faulkner 'in the flesh' and not just as a voice-over.

I remembered seeing the original episode when it was first broadcast but it was good to have an update on the Latvian heirs. My only criticism is there should have been a photo, map or something as a visual to show what they had discovered in Latvia.

I think the problem with the Latvia thing was that the case hadn't quite been completed when the interview was recorded.  I recall the comment that the heirs were being paid out on the day the recording was made.  I'm sure after all that work, they didn't want anything to go wrong at the last moment.

I thought the first of the new series last night was brilliant!  Really enjoyed it.  I remembered the original stories so it was good to have a recap and update.  Loved the piece about the 1940s fashions and how that connected with the model, so refreshing to focus on a woman's perspective.  I think this series has always presented a good balance between women's and men's perspectives.  So often social history on TV tends to focus on men's occupations, the military and so on.  Interesting though that is, women do make up half the population and have also done interesting and worthwhile things in their lives!

I liked the hour long format, it allowed some indepth content and the time was used really well I think.  We got more info on the Bona Vacantia list and how that works which was also good.  All in all, I thought it was well presented, well balanced, informative and entertaining.  Great stuff ~ can't wait for the next one!
