BBC TV "WDYTYA?" Series 10 Episode 7 William Roache

[Plummiegirl]

Children being brought up by their grandparents was alive an well in my family in the 1920/30/40s

My mother was born in Ireland, her parents seperated so she was brought up in Ireland by her mothers parents, whilst her mother came to England where she eventually started a 2nd family, but Mum stayed in Ireland, she was 24 before she ever lived with her mother.

My father although living with his parents always said he was brought up by his mothers parents (who lived with them) as he was always with them as his own parents had to work.  I know he was very close to his grandfather.

I split off a lot of conjecture and speculative guesswork as it was getting contentious.

This topic is about the TV program and your opinions about it, not about unasked for, speculative family history.

Please stay on topic,
Thanks,
Bob

ps. I had added this explanation before, but it seems to have "lost in transit". Sorry.

... the format is changed to fit other countries ideals, in this case the US market I believe. 

You never know ... After all, WDYTYA USA was cancelled by NBC after the 3rd season due to 'bad' viewing figures.
