oh yes that sounds interesting.

Seems the whole series is only concentrating on not going back too far.

Let's hope there is no looking at a photo followed by "She looks like a strong/sad/capable/tragic woman."  "She must have been."

Or "He worked as a photographers assistant then a photographer".  He must have been really passionate about photography.

Surely William Roache was an Army Officer at one time - not WW1 or WW2.

I remember thumbing an autobiography of his in a charity shop.  On the first page it said he never celebrated his birthday on the date that was on his birth certificate, so he was unsure when it actually was. :)
