I enjoyed tonight's programme more than I thought I would. Michael seems like a very nice man.(I had never heard of him prior to this).
A very interesting story about his grandfather and an amazing amount of documentation surrounding him and his work to keep his heritage alive for future generations. That bust of him was a bit spooky though - I think it could have done without the red eyes.
I was a bit worried to hear about Michael's great great (?) grandmother meeting his gg grandfather when she was 14. How old was she when they married? Do we know any more about this story? I am hoping this marriage was not forced upon her.
I would like to how her people felt about her marrying a white man.
I did not bother with the after programme chat this season either. I read some of the transcript of Vince Colosimo's chat, but even after the event I found it difficult to follow, the comments made by the viewers were very repetitive, boring and samey, and the one or two reasonable questions remained unanswered.
I think rather than a live chat, perhaps the viewers could post questions after the show, and the celeb could answer them within the next 24 hours. This way any unsuitable questions could be vetted.
If your question got a reply, then you would receive some kind of notification. Just an idea. I'm sure many of us have questions we would like answered but are too daunted to get into the live chat with little chance of a reply anyway.
