Looking forward to it Diana!  I used to watch Home and Away when she was in it (oops, sorry  ) (and I still watch it - sorry again  )

Diana, will you tell us who your favourite 'star' is in this series? And which is your favourite story ? (they may not necessarily be the same of course)

I'm looking forward to it too, but mustn't think about it till Tuesday night!
(Shouldn't be here now.....there's a story waiting to be written for History Month that's awaiting my attention. )

It's good to have the threads combined.

What I would like to know is ..... where is everyone? They were both good episodes but surely there are some things that need our attention, that was missed, that could have been done better, that worked really well, etc retc etc .... ?

I wonder if people just don't know this series has started.

Diana, how are the viewing figures for this series?

Dee, with the UK bmd's as recent as 2005 on Ancestry for the world to see, imagine how easy it would be to trace these celebs before the programme if we also had the same resources available. I've done a bit of detective work with some of my English friends and acquaintances - mind you I've felt a bit like a stalker when after about 10 minutes I've managed to go back a few generations and find out if any of them have married and had children .... it's a bit scary really.

So just be grateful you don't have the same resources to distract you.  (what is your story about?)

Ruskie to answer your Q about my favourite this series - I have researched Kerry, Melissa and Michael's episodes. Each are very special to me for differing reasons: Kerry because it was such an honour and a joy to work with him and resurrect a couple of well and truly forgotten ancestors; Melissa because it took a lot of sleuthing to work out the orphan story and Michael because we have uncovered some fascinating and inspiring Indigenous history.

John Wood, Shaun Micallef and Vince Collosimo were researched by my esteemed colleagues. All are strong episodes too.

Look forward to your comments.

Happy Easter

That's good - so it should do too.
